Summer wines: 5 reds from Burgundy
Burgundy reds, made from Pinot Noir alone, offer superlative finesse. They generally go through several distinct phases. When young, Pinot Noir reveals fresh, appetizing fruit, before becoming more complex and floral with age. For summer, we recommend young Burgundies with this fruit vigor. Give preference to generic Burgundies, and leave your bottles from prestigious villages like Pommard or Gevrey-Chambertin in the cellar.

Domaine des Verchères (2)
Burgundy pinot noir
2018
Red
With a nose more blackcurrant than raspberry, slightly smoky and lardy notes, we're getting closer to southern Burgundy in spirit. A gourmet, finely tannic wine to be enjoyed chilled with a few slices of Grisons meat, rolled around a fresh goat's cheese with herbs.

Domaine Sylvain Pataille (5)
Marsannay
2020
Red
A young red burgundy, with a powerful, slightly smoky nose and notes of red fruit so ripe that it gently tugs towards black fruit. The palate is round and greedy, but precise and never jammy. Add little tannin, but plenty of presence, and you've got a fine wine to open on any occasion at the table.
