Albert Sounit
What else can we say about this Domaine? After all, we already shout about it to anyone who'll listen! Just for a moment, forget the big names of the Cote d'Or where famous village names alone allow the wines to command high prices, sometimes regardless of the quality in the bottle. Instead, think less well-known village and, in the case of the Cote Chalonnaise pair, no village at all! Think flavour before fame.
Don't compare them to supermarket "Burgundy" at £6.99 a bottle. Instead, compare them to the best Burgundies you have tasted.
Minimum intervention in the winery means sometimes a sediment appearing in the bottle.

2004 Mercurey Vieilles Vignes Albert Sounit
£20.37Relatively full-bodied for a red Burgundy. Bags of character and structure and, coming from a less well-known Village, extremely good value.
-
2006 Bourgogne Blanc Cote Chalonnais Albert Sounit
£15.28Simple Chalonnais in name only. From a Domaine such as this, there is no such thing! Rich and luscious and more than able to stand up to strong flavours.
-
2006 Rully St. Jacques Albert Sounit
£19.98Although the Village may not be as famous as Puligny or Meursault, the wine it produces can still surprise and impress. The lack of fame merely makes this a bargain.
-
Caprice Rose
£10.19A style of wine that is really taking off. Dry with a mid pink colour and a real spring in it's step.
-
Cremant de Bourgogne Rose Albert Sounit
£14.89Made in exactly the same way as Champagne from grapes grown on very similar soil, this has to be one of the bargains of the list.
-
Caprice Brut Blanc de Blanc
£9.75Perhaps the best French Country bubbly money can buy. Dry but never thin, zesty but never acidic.
-
2005 Bourgogne Rouge Cote Chalonnais Albert Sounit
£17.04Generically a fairly junior Burgundy but the style and quality make this wine a star in this list. Full, vegetal Pinot flavours.
