Founded in the 14th century and rooted deeply in Burgundian tradition, Philippe le Hardi continues to produce wines that capture the soul of the region without the sticker shock
Burgundy has a reputation for getting expensive fast. For every truly great bottle, there seems to be another carrying a lofty price tag based solely on the appellation printed on the label. These days, the real unicorn is a Burgundy that genuinely overdelivers without draining your wallet.
Earlier this year, we featured the stunning Mongeard-Mugneret Vosne-Romanée Petits Monts — a phenomenal wine and a relative value considering its pedigree — but still a bottle that landed close to $250. Today’s lineup takes a very different approach.
Enter the latest releases from Domaine du Château Philippe le Hardi: historic Burgundy with serious character, all priced under $40 a bottle.
Founded in the 14th century and rooted deeply in Burgundian tradition, Philippe le Hardi continues to produce wines that capture the soul of the region without the sticker shock. We’re especially excited about three standout bottles that prove great Burgundy doesn’t have to be a splurge:
- 2024 Bourgogne Blanc Côte d'Or Clos de la Chaise Dieu Monopole $33.99 – layered, energetic, and beautifully expressive Chardonnay with freshness and precision.
- 2023 Bourgogne Rouge Vieilles Vignes $30.99 – bright, lively Pinot Noir packed with red fruit and classic Burgundian charm.
- 2023 Mercurey Vieilles Vignes $36.99 – darker, more brooding, with depth, spice, and serious value from one of Burgundy’s underrated appellations.
All three wines deliver the nuance, elegance, and drinkability that make Burgundy one of the world’s most beloved wine regions — and every bottle checks in under $40 on the shelf.
If you’ve been waiting for the right time to explore Burgundy without committing to triple-digit bottles, this is it.
