A good glass of white Burgundy is considered by many the Holy Grail of fine wine. Yet Chardonnay takes on myriad different expressions along the roughly one-hundred-mile north-south axis where it produces the world’s most desirable whites. From Chablis through the Côte d’Or and on to Mâcon, there are infinite terroirs that allow the all-encompassing ‘Burgundy’ label to embrace countless unique styles.
    This six-bottle sampler explores the incredible diversity of Burgundy’s whites. Leading off, you’ll find a generic Bourgogne Blanc—though Bruno Colin’s pristine 2013 is anything but generic. The single-vineyard village bottlings, on the other hand, represent brilliant interpretations of a cherished climat, each with its distinguishing trait: the Savigny is a rare Burgundian white to feature primarily Pinot Blanc, while Robert-Denogent’s old-vine masterpiece is curiously born from schist soils—an exception to Burgundy’s limestone rule. As for Bouvier’s “Clos du Roy,” this lieu-dit of Marsannay appears bound for promotion to premier cru status; can you taste why? Finally, at the top of the hierarchy, you will receive a premier cru from Meursault-Blagny and a grand cru from Chablis. The most complex, long-lived wines this storied land has to offer, these spring-loaded beauties are packed with terroir-driven goodness that will generously uncoil over the years to come.
