Ambonnay is known as a champagne bar, but once a month they throw a little party serving wines from Burgundy. Burgundian red wines are considered the best examples of Pinot Noir anywhere, while their Chardonnay whites are also world-beaters.
The idea behind Beauner (thatās a play on āBeauneā a village in Burgundy. Gettit?) is that so-called grand and premier cruāare available by the glass at close to cost price, meaning you get a chance to taste first-class wines without spending $$$. The wines are relatively youngāmost will be happy to age for another decadeābut then they would cost even more. The selection changes monthly; Burgundian labels are notoriously difficult to decipher for the uninitiated so donāt be afraid to ask whatās what.
