When we open the doors to the Bourgogne Festival in 2025, it will not just be a presentation of wine. It is a journey into the heart of France's most mythical wine region – a celebration of the great terroirs, iconic producers and vintages that have shaped the history of wine.
This year we present a collection of wines spanning more than four decades – from the mature treasures of the 1980s and 1990s to the younger, promising bottles of the 2000s and 2010s. The festival's range includes everything from the mineral and austere white wines of Chablis to the elegant and silky Pinot Noirs of Chambolle-Musigny and Vosne-Romanée.
The white stars: Meursault, Puligny and Chablis
When the word white Burgundy comes to mind, thoughts immediately turn to classic communes such as Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet and Chablis. The festival offers rare bottles such as Meursault Domaine Bitouzet 1992 , Puligny-Montrachet 1995 from Mongeard-Mugneret , as well as a number of unique Chablis bottles, including Chablis Premier Cru 1999 from Domaine Servin and Chablis Grand Cru Grenouille 1990 .
These wines represent everything that makes white Burgundy unforgettable: depth, elegance and an ability to develop layers of complexity over decades. A Meursault from the early 1990s is not just wine – it is liquid history, a testament to a time when winemakers still worked with almost artisanal patience.
The red legends: Vosne-Romanée and Gevrey-Chambertin
Pinot Noir reaches its highest expression in Burgundy, and among the festival's gems we find everything from the elegant Volnays to the deep and complex Vosne-Romanées.
-
Vosne-Romanée Quinson Fils 1990 – a rare bottle from one of the most mythical appellations in Burgundy, known for its spicy and silky notes.
-
Chambolle-Musigny from Domaine Bertheau 1994 and Roumier 2000 – wines from what many call the most feminine and sensual commune in Burgundy.
-
Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru Clos Sorbes 1996 from Jacky Truchot – a cult wine from a producer who is today among the most sought-after names at auctions worldwide.
For the serious collector, these bottles are not just an investment, but a chance to experience Pinot Noir at its most nuanced and timeless level.
Iconic producers
Among the wines we find a string of names that have helped define Burgundy:
-
Louis Latour – with classics from Meursault, Puligny and Gevrey-Chambertin.
-
Mongeard-Mugneret – supplier of everything from Savigny to the great Grand Cru Echézeaux.
-
Denis Mortet – known for his deeply concentrated Gevrey Chambertin wines, represented with several vintages in the festival's range.
-
François Mikulski – with iconic Meursault Caillerets and Genevrières, which are today considered some of the area's most precise and modern interpretations.
Gathering so many names and vintages under one roof is in itself a rarity – a chance to taste your way through Burgundy's history in one glass.
Ripe Burgundy
Opening a mature Burgundy is like entering a whole new universe of flavor nuances. While the young wines often show fresh fruit, crisp acidity and tight structure, the mature bottles develop in the direction of:
-
Complex bouquet with notes of forest floor, truffle, leather and dried flowers.
-
Softer tannins that make the wine more round and silky.
-
Deeper layers of flavor , where fruit, spice and tertiary notes merge together.
It is precisely this development that makes mature Burgundy something quite special – an experience that connects past, present and future in every glass.
The best vintages
Burgundy is a region where vintages play a crucial role. Small differences in weather and climate can significantly change the character of the wine, which is why vintages are closely followed by collectors and wine lovers alike. Among the most recognized vintages from recent times are 1985, 1990, 1999, 2005 and 2009 , all of which are considered classic reference points.

These wines are not only for enjoyment, but also valuable investments that can rightly be called liquid cultural heritage.
