News — White Burgundy

"In a word: sublime" - Antonio Galloni
2017 Raveneau Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre

Simply put, Raveneau produces some of the greatest white wines on earth.

"This is excellent" -Burghound
2017 Lafon Meursault Clos de la Barre

Lafon has never been better. Along with Roulot and Coche-Dury, Lafon is the standard-bearer of Meursault. His 2017s show this benchmark in top form.

Back Up The Truck - Chablis Edition:
2016 Tribut Chablis

It's not easy. Finding Tribut in quantity is always difficult, but it's even worse in 2016 - production was down considerably.  

"It's no secret that Lamy has been on a roll"
2017 Lamy St. Aubin La Princée

Lamy's holdings in St. Aubin make up the heart and soul of the estate. They have holdings in all of the top sites - Chatenière, En Remilly, and Les Murgers des Dents de Chien. However, Lamy also has holdings in fascinating sites throughout the village of St. Aubin. No producer's lineup offers such an exploration of the St. Aubin. 

At The Height Of His Powers:
2017 Lafon Meursault Clos de la Baronne

You'd have to look towards Coche and Roulot. In recent vintages, it's become clear that Lafon is at the top of his game.

"This is a fine Chablis villages"
2017 Dauvissat Chablis

Dauvissat's AC Chablis is one of the greats of the category. The 2017 Chablis is a stunning example of the wine.

In Top Form:
2017 Carillon Puligny-Montrachet

The 2017 Puligny is a really beautiful vintage for the wine. It is vibrant, finely etched, and supremely elegant. It's very rare that a villages wine has this much class and sophistication.

Unbeatable White Burgundy Value
2017 Thierry Pillot Bourgogne Blanc

Thierry Pillot is one of our favorite white Burgundy producers.

One of the things that I enjoy most about Pillot's wines is the incredible quality that they deliver across the range.

"Offers very fine quality for its level"
2017 Tribut Chablis

Tribut made gorgeous 2017s. They have the richness and presence of the vintage with an intense salty, Chablisienne minerality coursing through it.

"In a word, excellent." -Burghound
2014 Ramonet Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos du Caillerets

It would be difficult to think of a better vintage to introduce a new wine. The 2014 white Burgundies are stellar and even with the heights that the vintage reached, Ramonet's wines are knockouts.

A Sleeper From A Burgundy Benchmark
2017 Lamy St. Aubin 1er Cru Les Frionnes

The 2017 Frionnes is animated by a sleek elegance and near perfect balance that defines Lamy's 2017s. Expect a white Burgundy of silky harmony and driving minerality. Subtle shavings of sweet herbs and ripe citrus add even more nuance to this extraordinary example of what Frionnes can bring to the table.

An Electric Overachiever:
2018 Anne Boisson Bourgogne Aligoté

The Boisson family is making some of the most exciting wines of Burgundy. Their Aligoté highlights the incredible level of winemaking at Boisson. 

"Lovely and built-to-age"
2017 Germain Meursault 1er Cru Charmes

Germain's 2017 collection is brilliant.

Today, we're happy to offer one of the top wines of the collection, the Meursault 1er Cru Charmes. 

Extreme Purity:
2018 Colin-Morey St. Aubin 1er Cru En Remilly Nicholas et Mathis

It wouldn't be out of line to say that Pierre-Yves Colin's work in St. Aubin has been crucial in establishing the domaine's cult status.

2018 Dauvissat Chablis

Dauvissat produced an amazing cast of 2018s. They combine power and richness with snap, tension, and Chablisien minerality.

”Genuinely Great”
2017 Drouhin Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Mouches Blanc Magnums

Clos des Mouches is a very important site for Drouhin.

This prime mid-slope vineyard was one of the first purchases of Maurice Drouhin when he essentially established domaine bottlings in the 1920s. 

The Stars Aligned, Part II:
2014 Genot-Boulanger Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Vergers

Genot-Boulanger's 2014s are seriously impressive. It marks the vintage when quality jumped to a profound level. 

"Chiseled and energetic"
2017 Henri Germain Meursault

Henri Germain's Meursaults may cruise under the radar, but they are some of the most exciting examples of the appellation.

2018 Coche-Dury Meursault

I'll keep this quick. Coche-Dury's wines possess a singular magic that's obvious.

They are intense, incredibly refined, and are insanely well balanced. The wines offer up an improbable combination of depth, verve, and power. 

"Punchy and powerful flavors that brim with minerality"
2018 Dauvissat Chablis 1er Cru Les Vaillons

As we said a couple of weeks ago, Dauvissat nailed the 2018 vintage.

Dauvissat's Vaillons always impresses with its pointed minerality and intensity. The 2018 is an extreme expression of the wine. 

White Burgundy - 1993-2018:
Boisson-Vadot, Coche-Dury, Dauvissat, Lafon, Pillot, Raveneau, Roulot & Much More

I'm happy to present this wide-ranging list of white Burgundy.

I tried to highlight Burgundy's many top white producers ranging from Dauvissat and Raveneau to Coche, Lafon, and Roulot.

"This is a very fine Meursault villages and worth checking out."
2018 Roulot Meursault Villages

A Perennial Overachiever:
2018 Tribut Chablis

When it comes to classic Chablis AC, Tribut is one of the most important names to know.

Tribut's Chablis is, without a doubt, one of the best village level wines in the region.

Pillot 2010-2018:
Bourgogone to Chassagne 1er Cru La Romanée

Pillot stands as one of the most exciting and thoughtful winemakers of Burgundy’s new generation.

Pillot’s wines stand out for their unmatched purity and crystalline character.
