Caliburgundy: a New Ethos in Pinot Noir and Chardonnay

In our recent tastings and travels, we've observed a new ethos emerging in California winemaking: Pinot Noir and Chardonnay shaped not by Meiomi nor Belle Glos, but by the spirit of Burgundy, France.

Not every vintner is chasing Chambolle-Musigny, but we’re hearing it more and more: “I can’t recreate Burgundy in the Russian River—but I’m after that same silky, seductive quality.” This isn’t just low-alcohol or natural wine. This is something different. Something we’re calling Caliburgundy—a refined, exciting new wave.

Join us as we explore the California producers redefining Pinot and Chard with Burgundian soul.
