Maison Drouhin, Bourgogne Pinot Noir (Burgundy, France) 2022 ($33, Dreyfus Ashby)

Maison Drouhin, one of Burgundy’s most reliable négociants, shows the house’s talents with their low prestige wines, like this one. Every producer should make a stellar Grand Cru Burgundy, like Bonnes Mares, which often retails above $300 a bottle, but it takes real skill to craft an authentic Bourgogne, which is what Drouhin’s has done with their 2022. Delicate and elegant, but not lacking substance, it’s a fabulous introduction to the charms and allure of Burgundy. This light to mid-weight red is ideal for summer drinking.
