Part of luxury brand Alpha Omega's Collective Series, this is a delightfully rich Chardonnay with oodles of ripe stone fruit and baking spice on the nose. Textured and borderline opulent without sacrificing acidity or freshness.... Read More
AR Lenoble only releases vintage Champagne in great harvests, and 2012 certainly qualifies - the best since 2008 when this wine earned 94 points from Wine Advocate! 100% Chardonnay from Chouilly, the northernmost slice of the... Read More
No ratings or prizes, not a famous sparkling wine house, not much visibility even since Doug Margerum sells all of the tiny amount of this he makes at the winery. Only reason to buy this is that it tastes so good! Barrel fermented... Read More
Climate change has been very good to Burgundy’s Pernand-Vergelesses, giving a touch more richness to what had often been slightly austere wines. This is a great example and outstanding value in top-notch Burgundy Chardonnay.... Read More
Brian Marcy and Claire Carver make some of the most purely delicious wines in the Willamette Valley and their 2021 Willamette Valley Chardonnay is a beauty. A barrel selection from all 7 vineyards they work with, it’s a... Read More
Pears, cream and spice form the core of this generous Carneros Chardonnay, with freshening acids up front and satisfying creme brulee richness on the back. Nicely spiced and easy to enjoy.
Lower ABV Sylvain Bzikot has always made a very Puligny-like Bourgogne Blanc, and his terrific 2020 is no exception. From a trio of vineyards that all touch village sites, farmed with care, picked by hand, and fermented and aged... Read More
If Sylvain’s other white Burgundies are seriously good, his sparkling Cremant de Bourgogne is seriously fun. It’s a wine Sylvain makes to welcome friends to his home, to celebrate bud break, successful flowering, and... Read More
Organic/Bio This is terrific, if ultra-low production (around 900 bottles), Brut Zero Champagne that you really should consider drinking from a big Burgundy glass (because it's very Burgundy-like indeed). The vines grow in... Read More
From the cooler Oak Knoll AVA in Napa (just above Carneros), this is nicely rich and very satisfying. All estate fruit, all barrel fermented and aged with a just right 30% new French oak for richness and spice. We love the rich,... Read More
Not quite premier cru in quality, the Puligny Montrachet lieu-dit (named vineyard) of Les Charmes lies on the village's northern edge, right up against Meursault. A bit more clay in the soils here adds some of Meurault's... Read More
NOTE: to manage Virginia regulatory issues, these bottles carry the winery's extra label, Maison Jaine, normally used for private label wines in France. Same wine from the same bottling and bin, just with a different label... Read More

Organic fruit, minimalist winemaking, and perfectly ripe at just 12.7% alcohol, here is a terrific Chablis value that was made all in stainless steel and held back at the winery for us for the past year. Enough body and roundness... Read More
Organic/BioLower ABV This is a delicious wine, a tremendous value, and a knock-out house white to enjoy now-2026. Don't let the low price and humble appellation fool you - there is very high-end and expensive winegrowing... 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 Up a side valley of the Cote de Beaune, just west of Auxey-Duresses, St Romain is known for minerally dry Chardonnay value. In the warm 2020 vintage, Jerome Billard was able to get just a touch more fruit... Read More
This small producer based just outside Chassagne-Montrachet has delivered a pretty glorious Chardonnay in 2020. From 50+ year-old vines and fermented in tank and barrel then aged 12 months in 20% new French oak, it shows both... Read More
From a lieu dit village site just under 1er Cru Clavillon, this is first rate Puligny that will age but doesn't require patience to enjoy. It's a generous style, with ample orchard and stone fruit aromas and flavors with... Read More
Organic/BioLower ABV Another terrific vintage for this pure, lightly steely, and terrifically drinkable village Chablis that now comes from 100% organic vineyards. The family makes this from 8 small parcels scattered across the... Read More
