The Art of Burgundy

A celebration of the vintages that define one of the world’s most revered wine regions — and the exceptional bottles available at LuxuriousDrinks.com.

Few regions command the reverence that Burgundy does. In its narrow ribbon of vineyards — the Côte d'Or — the same soils have been cultivated for centuries, producing wines of remarkable precision and depth. Burgundy is not about power, but about expression — of place, of vintage, and of craftsmanship.

At LuxuriousDrinks.com, part of the Dielen Wines group (est. 1901), we have carefully selected a range of Burgundy wines from some of the most notable vintages. Below, we highlight the years that matter — and why.

1996 — Legendary

Style: Classical, high-acid, structured

The 1996 vintage remains one of the most respected of the modern era. Defined by its striking acidity and longevity, these wines have evolved beautifully over time. Expect tertiary notes of leather, forest floor, spice and dried fruit.

1997–1998 — Notable

Style: Ripe, softer, approachable

Often overlooked, these vintages offer charm and accessibility. With rounder fruit and less structure than 1996, they provide immediate pleasure and are ideal for drinking now.

2005 — Benchmark Vintage

Style: Structured, powerful, balanced

Widely regarded as one of the greatest Burgundy vintages ever produced. Near-perfect growing conditions resulted in wines of concentration, balance and aging potential.

2007 — Elegant & Classical

Style: Fresh, refined, delicate

A cooler vintage that emphasizes elegance over power. These wines are expressive, perfumed and ready to drink.

2017 — Modern Classic

Style: Harmonious, fruit-driven, approachable

A balanced and accessible vintage with vibrant fruit and freshness. Ideal for current drinking.

Understanding Burgundy

In Burgundy, the vintage matters — but the producer matters even more. The same vineyard can produce vastly different wines depending on the winemaker’s philosophy and precision.

That is why our selection focuses on trusted estates and producers, ensuring that every bottle reflects both terroir and craftsmanship.
