Brad Haskel: The Last Places You Would Look for Wine Bargains: Burgundy & Bordeaux

For a red, the very earthy and funky Passetoutgrains from Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard is a find. This wonderful producer, who makes very expensive and sought after reds; makes this field blend, where the rows of Gamay and Pinot Noir are interspersed and picked and crushed without being separated. The resulting wine has some earthy flavors with the light and bright Gamay characteristics, along with some complexity and depth from the Pinot Noir.
