Organic/Bio Vincent Boyer has moved his old family estate to organic farming and now gives his wines two years elevage – one in 5-8 year-old barrel and a second in concrete egg. This wine, from sites in lower Meursault,... Read More

I believe the technical tasting note for this wine, as approved by all the most serious wine writers, is: Hubba Hubba. There’s this thing white Burgundy winemakers do where they let the wine sit in the barrel on what’s... Read More

Organic/Bio Jura is famous for its oxidative whites, but that's not what's going on here! This is pure, fresh, and highly delicious Chardonnay from alpine vineyards with no noticeable oak influence at all. Delicious pear... Read More

From a tiny, half-acre, plot of Chardonnay in the Beaune 1er Reversees 1er Cru just up the hill to the west of Beaune, this is the only white wine bottled from this mainly red wine vineyard. Farming here is certified organic and... Read More

Lower ABV It’s always tempting to refer to Sauvignon Blanc from the eastern Loire Valley as coming from “near Sancerre” to take advantage of that brand. And Menetou-Salon really is not far from Sancerre, just... Read More

Organic/Bio Lower ABV Malandes has two small plots of vines here, one facing south and planted in 1967 and the other more north and planted in 1987. The oak program at Malandes has been evolving looking to maximize the positive... Read More

Lower ABV Did you know that we get to work with America’s most passionate and experienced importer/promoter of the southwest of France? From Cahors to Madiran to Bordeaux (sort of the north of the southwest), Ed Addiss’s... Read More

A classic Macon Chardonnay here with plenty of ripe orchard and stone fruit and a noticeable freshening kick of citrusy acidity at the end. Vintage 2022 has you expecting ripeness, and you'll taste that in the flavors. But... Read More

Lower ABV A sophisticated and complex Chardonnay from one of the most exciting regions of the Macon. From 45 year-old vines, the concentrated fruit aged in tank for freshness and new French oak to pick up weight, spice and creamy... Read More

Organic/Bio Lower ABV Like a good Chablis, the wine is very refreshing. Sticking to its roots (literally) the vines grow on that all important Kimmeridgian marl soils of Chablis. It boasts charactes of green apple, lemon, and... Read More

Organic/Bio Lower ABV No one in Rousillon has done more to bring attention to the intense minerality and purity possible for white wines here than Marjorie and Stephane Gallet. Llum delivers that in a blend of Grenache Gris and... Read More

Lower ABV As Vinous says, “Servin is a rather under-estimated Chablis producer” as Austrlian-born winemaker Marc Cameron turns out classic, cellar-worthy, Chablis year-after-year. This is from the top 1er Cru in Chablis,... Read More

Organic/Bio Lower ABV Perched above the 1er Crus on the Chassagne hill, this coolish, bowl-shaped, site delivers fabulous freshness in the rich and creamy 2022 vintage. Crushed limestone, pear, stone fruit, tangy butter and toasted... Read More

Perfectly blending the richness of 2022 with the mineral concentration of Chassagne through fruit grown in sites across the village. Fermented and aged in oak (around 20% new), the creaminess of texture is perfectly balanced by... Read More

At the western edge of the St Aubin hills, Pucelles is too flat to be 1er Cru but has a perfect S/SW exposure to generate plenty of ripeness. In 2022, this his has the vibrancy and lightness needed to balance very ripe flavors... Read More

We always love this wine from one of Chassagne's best producers and its highest-altitude 1er Cru. As Vinous says in the 93-95 point review, The 2022 Chassagne-Montrachet Virondot 1er Cru is habitually one of the Domaine's... Read More

A delicious Alsace Gewurtztraminer that shows its Grand Cru roots in a remarkably deep and concentrated texture and superb complexity on the nose and palate. It's loaded with ripe stone fruit and lychee aromas and flavors... Read More
