News Morrisons £8 Burgundy beats £50 bottle in blind taste test

Morrisons The Best White Burgundy scooped a Silver Medal in the esteemed Decanter World Wine Awards beating much more expensive wines. Château de Meursault 1er Cru Charmes-Dessus, which costs £49.50, yet only managed a Bronze.

• The Burgundy region is home to some of the world’s finest - and most expensive - wines. The top gong in the Burgundy category went to Albert Bichot Criots-Batard-Montrachet - a snip at £375!
• “Burgundy has become the most sought after and expensive region in the world.” said Morrisons Senior Wine Sourcing Manager Clive Donaldson.
• “It is difficult for us to source decent Burgundy at a sensible price. However by working closely with wine producers and blending most of our own-label wines ourselves we manage to sell amazing wines at affordable prices.”
• This hands-on approach has won Morrisons the coveted International Wine Challenge Supermarket of the Year for two consecutive years.
• Burgundy primarily produces wines made from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes.
