What’s in a Name? Bourgogne

I write this with a glass of Domaine de Montille Bourgogne Blanc in hand. I contemplated titling this article “Bourgogne on a Budget,” but I quickly realized that I paid $50 USD retail for this bottle. Relatively speaking, this bottle is a great value in Burgundy today. Years ago, not so much. Bottles of Bourgogne at this price point existed, but they were somewhat rarified air. Only a handful of producers could command that for their entry-level bottling.
