($13, Jeanne-Marie de Champs): The 2009 vintage for red Burgundy is fabulous.  The wines at the lower end of the prestige ladder, such as Bourgogne Rouge, will be especially attractive because the extra ripeness of the vintage helps even more at this level.  Combine that with Domaine Bart, one of Burgundy’s under-appreciated producers, and you have a top quality wine at a bargain price.   Domaine Bart’s origin, only in the 1980s when the famous Clair-Daü estate was broken up, explains its relative obscurity.  But, as part of the former Clair-Daü estate, the vineyards are well located and older than the Domaine itself.  Their 2009 Bourgogne Rouge, with 100% Pinot Noir on the label just to remind consumers, has bright strawberry-like flavors touched by a hint of earthiness to remind you it’s Burgundy.  Supple and forward, it’s a good choice for immediate consumption.  88 Michael Apstein May 24, 2011
