Let me introduce myself...

I travel for you through the most beautiful wine regions and select my most special finds in this shop. Here you will only find wines that spoil your taste buds, carefully selected from the makers themselves. As your importer, I focus on small, artisanal wineries where passion and craftsmanship are central. No mass production or flashy marketing, but authentic wines with character and a unique story. Photo left: Our son Valentin and me. Premier Cru Bourgogne juice. (Just grape juice, no fermentation yet, don't worry 😃) I am Christopher Engel (40) and the proud owner of Burgundy Or Nowhere (International) and therefore also Bourgognewijn.shop (NL). After seven wonderful years at Wijnkoperij Wesseling in Laren (now the Larense Wijnkoperij), I decided to move to Burgundy with my family. There we started a Bed and Breakfast, Maison Mazille, where we have enjoyed receiving guests. Finally, our journey brought us back to green Drenthe, where we now have our new home base and future Bed and Breakfast, Wisperhof. (Open mid-spring 2025) From here I share our carefully selected Burgundy wines with you. I hope they find a place in your wine climate cabinet or shine directly on your table. Every season I discover a new domain that has something special in it. My preference goes out to small, often lesser-known winegrowers who make wines with soul and without pretension. We leave big names and expensive chateaus to others; I choose Burgundies with pure quality, honestly priced and sustainably produced. Our range focuses on immediately drinkable, affordable Burgundies from small-scale, passionate makers. Here you will not find average wines, but unique gems that make every glass an experience.

Why buy Burgundy wine from us?

Specialization
Our specialization lies in buying special but also affordable Burgundy wines that can be enjoyed immediately and cost between 15 and 35 euros. In our opinion, the sweet spot of Burgundy wine where real discoveries can still be made. For Burgundy Chardonnay we look for the most diverse wine styles. From fresh to powerful and full. For red Burgundy wine we prefer elegance. Rich Pinot Noir can sometimes be a bit biting in its youth. We try to avoid that. In addition, we have know-how of Burgundy and Beaujolais. Since we lived there with our B&B Maison Mazille and were able to taste everything side by side, we know who can make the difference. We provide guidance in what a good wine should be, but we also listen to what our customers want. In between lies a certain balance that we wish to fulfill.
The best Burgundy wine years
No blind (continuity) purchases. Everything is compared every year and if a vintage of a certain winery disappoints, we come up with a suitable alternative. In addition to the magic of the winemaker, vintage is all-determining in Burgundy.
Price-quality ratio
We select wine based on winemaker, then vintage, then origin (e.g. Gevrey-Chambertin, Meursault, Chassagne-Montrachet, etc.) In that order and not the other way around! We are not sensitive to expensive sounding appellations. Of course there are beautiful wines among them, but the real value can be found in the magical hands of the winemaker and preferably before he/she becomes famous. Believe us that a good winemaker can make something beautiful from every terroir, even in lesser years. Once they have made a name for themselves, the price-quality ratio is often no longer in balance and it is up to us to find new talent. Sometimes it just can't be helped...
Burgundy wine advice
Service and attention from a passionate small entrepreneur who is very critical in his search for affordable wine from upcoming talent from Burgundy. Wine from Burgundy often needs a manual to know when or with what the wine should be drunk. We therefore find drinkability to be a very important part and will always give advice in this. Most of the wines we carry are ready to drink and if not, we will mention that explicitly.
Careful selection
Own import. No every-street-corner wines from the big importers. Above-average quality and diverse flavors of new talent from Burgundy, Champagne and Beaujolais. High-quality French wines, both affordable and exclusive, thanks to our direct import, without intermediaries, directly to the lovers of Burgundy wine. Our range is predominantly organic or sustainably grown with respect for people and nature.
