I’m starting to explore Burgundy and where I’m located I basically only have access to Louis latour. But I figure it’s not a bad place to start…right?

By

I understand Latour’s reputation, but as a burg beginner, is it not better to start at the less impressive end? Is it worth it?

Here’s what I have to choose from, more or less. I’m looking for recs for a latour that would be a good intro to Burgundy (red or white, though I can’t cellar anything atm) and not a boring or poor QPR option.

Thanks for your help!

    Going on those photos I’d probably start with the Fevre Chablis. Really good introduction to the style of Chablis as a whole, and if you like the villages 2020 you could buy a 2019 1er to lie down for a few years – from what I’ve read I think they’re taking a while to hit full maturity.

    Latour also isn’t a bad place to start for Red and you have a good range of appellations there.

    Your wallet will thank you if you don’t like any of these. Burgundy is a slippery slope!
