Jean-Marc Burgaud has been dubbed "Monsieur Côte du Py" by Bourgogne Aujourd'hui magazine. His eponymous Beaujolais estate boasts vines planted between 1940 and 1974 at high density using massal selection. "Judge a domaine on its entry point wine," says Jean-Marc. "I do as much work in the vineyard and cellar on this wine as I do on my Côte du Py." This Beaujolais Lantignié is considered an excellent value and a benchmark for the Beaujolais-Villages appellation, showcasing the quality and style that has led Neal Martin to describe Jean-Marc as "a master working in the Côte du Py."
