Red Burgundy Wines

Red wines from Burgundy are an institution in themselves. The region is home to two predominant grape varieties: Pinot Noir and Gamay, with Domaine Joliet specializing primarily in Pinot Noir, the hallmark of Burgundy’s red wines.

The Essentials of Red Burgundy Wines

Burgundy wines are classified by Climats, which are distinct vineyard plots, each with its own appellation ranging from regional to Grand Cru.

At Domaine and Maison Joliet, we offer a selection of regional, village, and Premier Cru red and white wines. Our red Burgundy wines are exclusively crafted from Pinot Noir, allowing us to highlight this noble varietal’s unique character.

Our selection includes:

Maison Joliet reds, showcasing the finest terroirs from the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune, available in Bourgogne, Village, and Premier Cru appellations.

Understanding Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir is a complex and enigmatic red grape variety native to Burgundy. Its refinement and elegance have played a pivotal role in establishing the global reputation of Burgundy’s red wines. Pinot Noir’s ability to faithfully translate the nuances of Burgundy’s finest Climats is the reason for the region’s focus on this single varietal.

Key Features:

Appearance: The juice is colorless, the skin is thin, and the clusters are small and tightly packed, resembling a pinecone—hence the name “Pinot.”

Heritage: Pinot Noir is one of the oldest grape varieties and the progenitor of other notable varieties, including Chardonnay, Aligoté, and Gamay.
