Domaine Roland Lavantureux
France | Burgundy | Chablis
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.
Domaine Roland Lavantureux
France | Burgundy | Chablis
Vauprin showcases Chardonnay’s ability to produce a wine that is simultaneously both round and taut in this mighty northern Burgundian terroir.
Domaine Roland Lavantureux
France | Burgundy | Chablis
David describes it as “direct and pure, full of energy”—a perfectly steely Chablis for oysters-on-the-half-shell, certain to remain tightly coiled for many years to come.
Henri Costal
France | Burgundy | Chablis
Top-notch, organically farmed premier cru Chablis.
Domaine Lavantureux
France | Burgundy | Chablis
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.
Domaine Pierre Guillemot
France | Burgundy | Savigny-lès-Beaune
A rare white Burgundy made from mostly Pinot Blanc—chalky and age-worthy.
Domaine Larue
France | Burgundy | Saint-Aubin
The high limestone content gives this Pinot plenty of spice and ripe cherry with great acidity and persistence.
Domaine Follin-Arbelet
France | Burgundy | Pernand-Vergelesses
Ever the racy and mineral cuvée, this is all silk and flesh, and a rare village treat from a producer of mainly premier and grand cru wines.
Domaine Régis Bouvier
France | Burgundy | Morey Saint Denis
The wine is firmly structured and robust, with dark, plump fruit that tastes fresh and utterly drinkable.
Domaine de Villaine
France | Burgundy | Mercurey
It is easy to forget that it isn’t a premier cru
Régis Bouvier
France | Burgundy | Fixin
Solid yet affordable cru burgundy with the structure, concentration, and complexity similar to Gevrey-Chambertin’s wine, as well as the bright fruit and accessibility of its other neighbor, Marsannay.

Domaine de Villaine
France | Burgundy
Stylistically, Les Clous is in between La Fortune—lighter and brighter—and La Digoine—the densest and most sappy, characterized by medium weight with more red fruits, smooth but present tannins, and distinctive polish.
Domaine Lucien Boillot et Fils
France | Burgundy | Volnay
September ’19 Club Chevalier Selection

Domaine Taupenot-Merme
France | Burgundy | Saint-Romain
Full-bodied style, golden, old-school Chardonnay with a chalky base.
Domaine Follin-Arbelet
France | Burgundy | Aloxe-Corton
The Follin family’s 2019 reds are some of the most delicious of the vintage I have tasted, none more so than their incredibly vibrant and pure Aloxe-Corton.

Domaine Taupenot-Merme
France | Burgundy | Saint-Romain
Full-bodied style, golden, old-school Chardonnay with a chalky base.

Evoking fresh orchard fruit, white flowers, and chalk, Les Margotés is remarkably pure and will continue to age beautifully over 10-15 years.
Domaine Robert-Denogent
France | Burgundy | Pouilly-Fuissé
Farming incredibly old vines in the region’s top terroirs, brothers Antoine and Nico at Robert-Denogent are stars of the Maconnais.

Régis Bouvier France | Burgundy | Gevrey-Chambertin
Domaine Follin-Arbelet
France | Burgundy | Aloxe-Corton
This silky Aloxe-Corton is in a stellar place today, although I imagine it will continue to drink beautifully over the next five to ten years.
