Burgundy is often presented as a wine growing area selling expensive and rare wines. This is true, but only in part. The lower echelons of the Burgundy hierarchy are occupied by a category of relatively affordable wines: the so called 'regional appellations'. They are often representative of the best quality wines enjoyed in Burgundian homes: they have aromatic finesse, are elegant and long on the palate. Prepared with care and matured slowly, as is the case at Maison Fatien, a 'simple' Burgundy Pinot Noir can reveal excellent cellaring quality along with an aromatic complexity which are capable of making more prestigious appellations turn green with envy.
