2006 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru “Les Demoiselles”
Domaine Colin-DelégerIn 2003, Michel Colin handed down almost all his vineyard holdings to his two sons, keeping only the choicest parcels for himself and continuing to vinify just a few barrels each year until his full retirement in 2015. One of three such vineyards he chose to hold on to, Les Demoiselles sits adjacent to the grand cru Le Montrachet along its northern boundary, and was home to his oldest vines. The house style is one of opulent golden fruit with rich, toasty notes coming with bottle age—a real treat from a master of the Bugundian craft.

2022 Chablis 1er Cru “Beauroy”
France | Burgundy
The premier cru Beauroy is a round, ample expression of Chablis from a south-facing parcel. Silky and suave on the palate, it finishes with a whisper of salinity.
2022 Maranges 1er Cru “Clos des Loyères”
France | Burgundy
Les Loyères bears a chiseled frame, outstanding minerality, and pitch-perfect acidity that gives it brightness and lift.
2020 Meursault-Blagny 1er Cru “La Genelotte”
France | Burgundy
De Chérisey produces classic Chardonnay that seems as if from a different time. White Burgundy like this doesn’t come around very often.
2022 Petit Chablis
France | Burgundy
With a delectable combination of fresh fruit and oyster-shell aromatics, this remains Lavantureux’s benchmark for value and typicity.
2020 Marsannay Blanc “Clos du Roy”
France | Burgundy
I find the Clos du Roy blanc to be quite versatile at my house in Meursault, especially with fowl, pork, and veal.
2020 Rully Rouge 1er Cru “Les Champs Cloux”
France | Burgundy
Les Champs Cloux fresh, with good acidity, but also among the domaine’s more robust reds.
2020 Marsannay Rouge “Clos du Roy”
France | Burgundy
Bouvier fashions a red that is at once serious and gay, generous and firm, bold and elegant.
2020 Volnay 1er Cru “Les Caillerets”
Domaine Lucien Boillot et Fils
France | Burgundy
This Caillerets features a stony, savory undercurrent, above which float gorgeous notes of strawberries and plums.
2021 Chablis 1er Cru ”Butteaux”
France | Burgundy
There is no mistaking it—one taste and you are in Chablis territory: zesty minerality, wet stone, freshness and nervosity.
About The Region
Burgundy
In eastern central France, Burgundy is nestled between the wine regions of Champagne to the north, the Jura to the east, the Loire to the west, and the Rhône to the south. This is the terroir par excellence for producing world-class Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
The southeast-facing hillside between Dijon in the north and Maranges in the south is known as the Côte d’Or or “golden slope.” The Côte d’Or comprises two main sections, both composed of limestone and clay soils: the Côte de Nuits in the northern sector, and the Côte de Beaune in the south. Both areas produce magnificent whites and reds, although the Côte de Beaune produces more white wine and the Côte de Nuits more red.
Chablis is Burgundy’s northern outpost, known for its flinty and age-worthy Chardonnays planted in Kimmeridgian limestone on an ancient seabed. Vézelay is a smaller area south of Chablis with similar qualities, although the limestone there is not Kimmeridgian.
To the south of the Côte de Beaune, the Côte Chalonnaise extends from Chagny on its northern end, down past Chalon-sur-Saône and encompasses the appellations of Bouzeron in the north, followed by Rully, Mercurey, Givry, and Montagny.
Directly south of the Chalonnaise begins the Côte Mâconnais, which extends south past Mâcon to the hamlets of Fuissé, Vinzelles, Chaintré, and Saint-Véran. The Mâconnais is prime Chardonnay country and contains an incredible diversity of soils.
