At each of the five levels in the Burgundy pyramid are good -- even great -- wines that span the price spectrum. To find them at retail, go to http:/
Bourgogne
Bourgogne Blanc Terroirs de Cote d'Or 2006 Verget ($16)
Crisp, fresh, some citrus. Good.
Bourgogne Rouge 2005 Domaine Rene Leclerc ($26)
From a great vintage. Cherry and raspberry. Better than a simple Bourgogne.
Regional
Cote de Nuits Villages 2005 Bertrand Ambroise ($33)
Nice fruit and structure. A little rustic but good.
Petit Chablis 2006 Louis Michel ($23)
No oak here. Bright citrus and mineral flavors. Lots of acidity.
Village
Gevrey-Chambertin 2005 Louis Jadot ($45)
Well-made, structured pinot noir from a top negociant. A relative bargain as well.
Chambolle-Musigny 2006 Joseph Drouhin ($65)
