Smells great, tastes even better, crazy good price for high quality white Burgundy. That’s really what you need to know here, but we’ll try to give you a little more. It’s from vineyards on the Puligny border... 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

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

I certainly didn’t expect to write this, but Sylvain Bzikot’s 2023 village Puligny Montrachet is even better than his outstanding 2022 edition. It’s from several plots of vines above the village of Puligny including... Read More

Organic/Bio 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. You can pretty much smell the vine age here in a nose that’s... Read More

Organic/Bio Lower ABV From the steep slopes of the wandering valley known as Vau de Vey. A wine of fine richness and volume with plenty of stony Chablis minerality and precision. It's delicious right now (although give it... Read More

Organic/Bio Lower ABV Another terrific vintage for this pure, lightly steely, and terrifically drinkable village Chablis that now comes from 100% organic vineyards. Our good friends and brother/sister team Richard Rottiers and... Read More

Organic/Bio From 70+ year-old vines growing next to the Grand Cru of Valmur, this is always a terrific Chablis value. In 2023, it opens with petty aromatics of green and yellow apple, Anjou pear and crushed seashells. Classic... 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 From 40 year-old vines in the little village of Peronne, this delivers the lovely richness and depth we expect from Gentilhommes even in a cool harvest like 2024. The 15% of the wine aged in oak (the rest in steel) helps... Read More

Organic/Bio Lower ABV Importer Mary Taylor bring us this classic, all steel, Chablis Chardonnay from 50 year-old, organically farmed, vines. The often cooler vineyards of Petit Chablis locked in the crisp freshness and chalky/salty... 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

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

Lower ABV As Burghound says, “If you're unfamiliar with the Thibert wines you owe it to yourself to try one of two examples as the best are excellent.” Here’s the place to start with a wine that draws on... Read More

Organic/Bio Lower 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

Lower ABV Not sure why this is labeled “Bourgogne,” but it’s all Macon fruit and showcases the richness of southern Burgundy Chardonnay balanced by some shaping time in large, older, oak casks. The texture is... Read More

Organic/Bio Lower ABV A terrific Bourgogne Blanc from one of Burgundy's most famed and respected vigneron. As the 95 point James Suckling review says, This might be the best-value white wine in all of Burgundy. Mineral with... Read More
