The 2020 vintage looks destined to become a modern-day classic for Burgundy. The white wines we tasted are almost without exception world class from regional level to Grand Cru, and given the storm clouds of 2021 on the horizon the 2020s are likely to disappear from the market quickly. The red wines have more competition coming after the 2018 and 2019 vintages, and consumers lucky enough to own the three will find great pleasure in comparing them. Some producers have made 2020s that exceed the previous two vintages, others have made wines that are around the same level and the medal places will be debated over dinner tables long into the future.
