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 An unusually sophisticated and complex Chardonnay from this “humble” appellation! From 40 year-old vines, the concentrated fruit ages 85% in tank for freshness and 15% in barrel to pick up weight, spice and... 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
Michael and Robert Mondavi, Jr. make California Chardonnay that's both very traditional and a bit more up-to-date. The rich body and ripe stone fruit, sliced pear, lemon curd and green melon flavors are just what you expect... Read More
From Ay, better known for Pinot Noir but giving this Chardonnay real character and distinction. The 90 point Wine Advocate write-up from last release applies here as well: Medium-bodied, ample and pillowy, with a charming core... Read More
Hartford Court is easily one of the top “traditional” California Chard houses working today in the <$100 price point and this “village” bottling shows off their skill and ethic to a “T”.... Read More
A chance to sample the work of one of the world's great Chardonnay estates (getting harder and harder to do without getting on the mailing list or paying restaurant prices). Like all Kistler Chardonnays, this is at once creamy... 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
Organic/BioLower ABV While better known for their Chassagne holdings, Lamy-Pillot has a fine portfolio of vines just around the corner in St. Aubin as well. And while the winegrowing and making are just as careful and meticulous... 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 even in 2021. This has the vibrancy and lightness of the vintage but with very ripe flavors... Read More
From the old Mum winery in Cramant, Gilles and son Julien Lancelot make delicious, stylish and dangerously drinkable Champagnes mainly, like this, from Chardonnay. From vines averaging 45 years age, it's mainly 2018 with 20... Read More
There’s nothing subtle here in a robust North Coast Chardonnay that’s redolent of ripe fruit with plenty of buttery richness. From vineyards in Petaluma Gap, Sonoma Carneros and the Russian River Valley and aged in... Read More
Another great release of this, our all-time best-selling premium California Chardonnay. As always, it blends fruit from across the Sonoma Coast AVA including Carneros, the southern Russian River and cooler sites to the west. Serves... Read More
The best vintage of this long-time customer favorite we've tried in years, with extra dollops of concentration, fruit and buttery richness. If you haven't tried MacRostie in a while, take this out for a test sip. You'll... Read More
