"...the 1996 vintage featured a rare combination of healthy sugars, high acidity and sound, ripe skins ...I suspect many of these wines will be stronger in bottle than they were prior to bottling, and how often can this be said about Burgundy? ...Adjectives like sappy, penetrating, vibrant, bracing, and sharply etched kept popping up in my notes as I tasted the '96s in November and January. The better '96s have terrific thrust and grip...an unusually consistent vintage, and likely to be long-lived... Don't miss the finest '96s!" - Stephen Tanzer, April 1999

We have a wide ranging inventory of 1996 red Burgundies, and they are beginning to reveal their supple charm now.

Two rare collections offer an overview of the vintage - the first from the perspective of one Grand Cru vineyard, Chambertin Clos de Beze, which balances power and grace and is considered among the most complete of the Grand Crus; and the second a collection of all the Cotes de Nuits Villages, a delightful way to taste and compare their terroir.

Supplies are limited to one collection only.

To purchase either of these two collections, contact a Vinfolio Wine Specialist at 800-969-1961.
