About Burgundy or Nowhere
Every month, we aim to present a new estate that creates a unique emotional experience. Smaller domains are taking the place of big names and expensive châteaux. Our focus is on emotion, value for money, exciting whites, and elegant reds from Burgundy, produced by small, passionate winemakers.
We (Christopher, Avital, and our son Valentin) lived for several years near Cluny / Mâcon, running our Chambres d'hôtes Maison Mazille, and we'd like to share our "Trouvailles" with you.
Who are we and what do we stand for? 1. A service level and attention of a passionate small business owner who critically searches for affordable wines from emerging talent in Burgundy. 2. Direct import. No corner-shop wines from the big importers. 3. Our specialty lies in exceptional yet affordable Burgundies that are ready to enjoy and range between 15 and 35 euros. 4. No memberships or subscriptions. No newsletters, just follow us freely on Social Media. We are especially active on Instagram. 5. Specialization and expertise in Burgundy and Beaujolais. We guide what a good wine should be, but we also listen to what our customers desire. It's about finding a balance between the two. 6. No blind (continuity) purchases. Everything is compared year after year, and if a vintage from a particular winery falls short, we offer a fitting alternative. Vintage is everything in Burgundy. 7. We choose wines based on the winemaker, then the vintage, and only then the region (e.g., Gevrey-Chambertin, Meursault, Chassagne-Montrachet, etc.). This is our order of priority, and not the other way around. We are not swayed by fancy-sounding appellations. While there are certainly beautiful wines from these regions, true value is found in the magical hands of the winemaker, preferably before they become famous. Believe us, a great winemaker can craft something beautiful from any terroir, even in lesser years. Once they have made a name for themselves, the price-to-quality ratio often becomes unbalanced, and our job is to discover new talent.
