2023 Chablis “Vieilles Vignes”
France | Burgundy
Everything about this cuvée, from the delicately briny scent of slick oyster shells to the concentrated, pristinely focused sensation on the palate, is a demonstration of why this domaine has become one of Chablis’ very best.
2023 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru “Les Bousselots”
France | Burgundy
A step up in refinement and opulence, Les Bousselots abounds with pretty red fruit, plums, and minerality. Beware: if you love this, there are seven other premiers crus from Chevillon you might be tempted to explore, and before you know it, you will be looking for space to stock it all!
2023 Chablis 1er Cru “Vaillons”
France | Burgundy
A stunning value from one of Chablis’ oldest premier cru vineyards, with a lovely mouthful of stone fruit and hint of lemongrass.
2024 Petit Chablis
France | Burgundy
Lemon zest, star fruit, wet stone, and white flowers all coat the palate in a bonedry, vitalizing, and immensely enjoyable wine.
2022 Santenay Rouge 1er Cru “Passetemps”
France | Burgundy
From the southern edge of the Côte d’Or, this outstanding Santenay is so expressive, with notes of red fruit, rose petals, peonies, and a touch of spice.
2023 Fixin “Crais de Chêne”
France | Burgundy
Fixin is known as the “rustic cousin” to Gevrey-Chambertin, but Bouvier’s Crais de Chêne is refined and easy to adore.
2023 Chablis “Les Truffières”
France | Burgundy
Devouring a fresh crab and pairing it with this pure, elegant, chalky, earthy (wet stone), and stunning finish is the perfect combo.
2016 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru “Hameau de Blagny”
France | Burgundy
Power, finesse, succulence, and striking acidity... Pair with delicate crab meat and relish in the experience.
2024 Chablis 1er Cru “Montée de Tonnerre”
France | Burgundy
A triumphant new addition to our Chablis lineup, showing impressive concentration and that irresistibly marine expression of Chablisien Chardonnay.
2022 Bourgogne Côte Chalonnaise Rouge “Les Clous”
France | Burgundy
Stylistically, Les Clous is in between La Fortune and La Digoine, characterized by medium weight with more red fruits, smooth but present tannins, and distinctive polish.
About The Producer
Domaine Costal
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.

Trust the great winemakers, trust the great vineyards. Your wine merchant might even be trustworthy. In the long run, that vintage strip may be the least important guide to quality on your bottle of wine.—Kermit Lynch
