Lower ABV It’s so tempting to call this “baby Puligny Montrachet” that…well, what the heck. It’s baby Puligny Montrachet from a trio of vineyards that all abut the village AOC boundary. Like his... Read More
In this very short harvest, there's a little more oak influence to Sylvain's village Puligny (not more new wood, but more second and third use barrels that needed to be kept full!). It just makes this lovely Chardonnay... Read More

Lower ABV The very sunny Mont de Milieu 1er Cru on the Right Bank (not far from the Grand Crus) gives wines of solid ripeness but that always hold their salty stone minerality as well. In 2020, Angèle Barat got all of that... Read More
Lower ABV Burgundy's other white grape shines here in a zesty wine with richness and vibrancy, cut and depth. Aromas and flavors of crunchy pear, white pepper, orange peel and salty stone sing out in a wine that balances roundness... Read More
Lovely, vibrant, 1er Cru white Burgundy from a cool site in Saint Aubin, just behind Puligny-Montrachet. White peach, nectarine, toasted nut and light butter notes show on the nose with a push of chalky minerality, crisp citric... Read More
Organic/BioLower ABV On the “left bank” of Chablis, Cote de Lechet benefits from steep slopes (up to 38%), plenty of Kimmeridgian marl, excellent drainage and ample sunshine – all particularly welcome in 2021!... Read More
Organic/BioLower ABV Always the most intense, pure, and “Chablis” of the 1er Crus here and shining more brightly than ever in 2019. It’s from one of the warmer sites in Chablis and, like the Grand Crus, with... Read More

Organic/BioLower ABV The old vines planted by Amandine and Richard’s grandfather handled the tough 2021 season with aplomb. As usual, Montmains is the most open and generous of the Malandes 1er Crus with a touch of pear... Read More
Organic/Bio An astonishingly good Burgundy Chardonnay from organic growers working in the beautiful “Le Paradis” 1er cru site in Givry. Bold aromas of sliced pear, white peach, lemon and white flowers pull you into... Read More
Lower ABV As Vinous says, “This is a go-to name for those seeking steely, you could almost describe them as “mean” Chablis wines that see no wood.” There’s Granny Smith apple, lime, and wet stone... Read More
As Wine Advocate wrote, The more I drink the Bachelet bothers' wines, the more I admire them... The [2018] wines have turned out beautifully: long élevage has worked its magic and the wines have picked up plenty of... Read More
From Sangouard-Guyot, this is terrific Pouilly Fuisse to drink now and for 5+ years. Ripe and unoaked, it opens with sophisticated aromas of ripe apple, crisp pear, chalk and light spice. It’s generous, but focused and nicely... Read More
Lower ABV Just Léa Schaller’s fourth vintage since coming home from Paris, building a winery and starting to bottle a portion of her crop instead of selling it all to the co-op. Her music roots give the winery name... Read More
Lower ABV Petite Chablis is the name given to Chablis vineyards just a touch too high in altitude or with cooler microclimates than the vines awarded the “village” Chablis status. In warmer, dryer, years like 2022,... Read More
A white Burgundy that gives you the textures, richness and even nutty notes that suggest oak aging - but with no oak at all! Instead the fruit has been ripened to perfection, expressing lots of flavor and wonderful texture. Both... Read More
Organic/BioLower ABV From vines planted in 1990 and 1991, this shows both old-vine density and remarkable vigor. There's sizzling freshness here - the first thing you notice. Then the ripe stone fruit flavors come up with... Read More
Organic/BioLower ABV Christophe Thibert is quiet, careful, a bit intense and always deeply thoughtful. This is the one wine he makes that really isn't much like his own personality at all! It bounds into the room with a big... Read More
Organic/BioLower ABV As with all his Pouilly-Fuisse wines, Christophe Thibert ferments and ages 80% of this cuvee in tank and 20% in new and second-use French oak. The oak-aged wine tends to show a little reduction before blending... Read More
Organic/BioLower ABV If Thibert's 2020 Macon-Verze is full of boundless energy and confidence, his Pouilly-Vinzelles (from next door to Fuisse) has all the same energy but starts off a bit gawky and unsure. Give it a splash... Read More
Organic/Bio Sisters Adèle and Elsa Matrot craft this lovely Meursault from 12 tiny plots assembled by their parents across the village. Fermented and aged in 1-5 year-old cask, a tiny bit of flinty reduction frames white... Read More
Organic/BioLower ABV Morgeot’s relatively heavy, warmer, soils helped mitigate 2021’s April frost damage and then drive lovely ripening in a cool, crisp, year. This opens with very pure, lifted, scents of crisp pear,... Read More
From arguably the finest red wine site in Chassagne and, unusually, from above the village where most 1er Cru sites feature Chardonnay instead of Pinot. Here the flatter terrain and walls of the clos have kept enough clay for... Read More
Organic/BioLower ABV Perched above the 1er Crus, this bowl-shaped sited was clobbered in the 2021 frosts. The tiny crop remaining gave beautiful Chassagne, with intense citrus and green orchard fruit, a double handful of crushed... Read More
