That’s another way of saying value and alluding to the fact that the profile is luscious, round and full of ripe lemon zest, florals and the minerally backbone we’re all searching for. Séguinot-Bordet was founded in 1590.

Seguinot Bordet Petit Chablis 2023

Billaud Simon Chablis Tete d’Or 2022

Plush, open and satisfying. It’s a generous French Pinot, full of violets and wild plums coupled with a lush layer tannins. Fruit is from some of the Domaine’s oldest vines in Mercurey–at the southern tip of Burgundy.

Domaine Charton Derriere Sazenay Bourgogne Rouge Pinot Noir 2022

Some wines play out like a song, all perfect with notes and aromas hitting like verses and those precious, but present fruits, pleasing like a chorus. This is comparable to Nat King Cole’s, Autumn Leaves – it's clean and precise with some salinity, gentle tannins and a nice, alluring intensity which you dive into, or sit with your feet dangling in.

Frantz Chagnoleau Saint-Véran La Roche 2023

Frantz Chagnoleau Saint-Veran Prélude 2023

Frantz Chagnoleau Mâcon-Villages Clos Saint Pancras 2023

Vibrant aromatics and some great volume. Imagine falling, ripe orchard fruits and smooth oak notes that add without distracting. There’s also some saline and a flick of pastry. Sounds like a dream. And it will age well too.

Alex Moreau Bourgogne Blanc 2022

One of the best white Burgundy’s we’ve had in a long time! Most of the fruit is from Meursault, with some from surrounding communes where things are a little richer, but there’s a perfect amount of acidity, fruit and tannin. Pair with fancy cheese and one other person – at the most.

Matrot Bourgogne Blanc Chardonnay 2022

Domaine Marquis d'Angerville Volnay 1er Cru Clos des Ducs 2020

1er Cru Chablis with a taut and focused nose that offers up a flinty minerality and subtle lemon peel. On the palate, there's a lively amount of salinity and citrus, then a hint of spice and a backbone of acidity. Beautifully crafted.

Agnes et Didier Dauvissat Beauroy 1er Chablis Magnum 2021

Joannes Violot-Guillemard Bourgogne Hautes-Cotes de Beaune La Foulotte Blanc 2020

From the north end of Burgundy – just east of Chablis. Pear drop and a good line of clarity. The French called it Aligoté but we just call it the perfect sunny-day wine. This has Meyer lemon, nectarine and texture too, with seashell. Seems made for oysters.
