A classic rich and buttery (but not too much!) Russian River Chardonnay with enough oak for spice. Big, ripe, aromas and flavors of yellow pear, apple, almond and more coat the palate nicely before cleaning up with a squirt of... Read More
Lower ABV From just outside Carcassonne in Limoux, a super fresh and nicely weighted no-oak Chardonnay value. Done all in steel, it serves up crisp green apple, tart peach, and crunchy yellow pear fruit with hints of white flowers... Read More
Rich and creamy Russian River Chardonnay with spiced pear fruit and juicy accents of fresh butter and cream. Hard to resist for fans of more full-bodied Chardonnay!
Jim Clendenen is sadly gone, but his legacy lives on at the winery that more or less put Santa Barbara on the wine map. This is fully ripe at 13.5 alcohol, shaped (but not overwhelmed) by malolactic fermentation and time in French... 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
Organic/BioLower ABV Ridiculously delicious and our only complaint here is that we couldn't get all we wanted. Brilliant ripeness and fruit bound up in almost steely minearlity and finishing long, ripe, mineral and mouthwatering.... Read More
From a California Sparkling wine specialist, this is elegant, nicely textured, Chardonnay of fine freshness and length. In 2022, it’s all Russian River fruit from a vineyard next door to Kistler and Ritchie Vineyards and... Read More
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
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
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

Seeing this on the shelf, a great Chardonnay customer reminisced that she and her husband first visited Cuvaison in the 1970s. Through the boom in super-butter Chard in the '80s and '90s and the reactionary trend towards... Read More
Not your typical California Chardonnay, here Greg Brewer picks very ripe fruit, blocks malolactic fermentation, and ages the wine in steel on the lees. There's amazing texture here and loads of fruit in a wine that's at... Read More
Lower ABV Sitting off by itself on the “Left Bank” of Chablis, Cote de Lechet is a low but very steep hill – up to 38 degrees at some points – fully exposed to the afternoon sun. It’s rocky soils... 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
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
Lower ABV A classic Macon Chardonnay from Burgundy’s limestone soils and a richer vintage. Fresh aromas and flavors of crisp yellow pear and apple plus a touch of varietal hazelnut have solid density and intensity right... Read More
Tuesday night party bubbles for Champagne fans working on a budget. Wedding toast wine. Spritz base. Fun sipper. This 100% Chardonnay sparkler made in Limoux (where they were making bubbles before Champagne) from Languedoc grapes... 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 The clonally diverse very old vines here are the pride of the estate and are providing cuttings for replanting other vineyards over the next decade or so. In 2022, the 70 year-old vines gave wine with even... 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
