Grand Cru Burgundy
There can be no doubt that the world’s finest white wines come from Burgundy. Here you will find wines from the greatest vineyards and top producers.
Meursault
Meursault wines are especially renowned for their full-bodied structure, fine balance between fruit and minerality, and distinctive notes of butter, nuts, minerality, citrus, and stone fruit. Although Meursault has no Grand Cru vineyards, several of the area’s Premier Cru vineyards are considered among the very best in Burgundy, and some truly interesting and rare bottles have come up for sale.
Chablis
If oysters and shellfish are on the table this summer, then Chablis should be in your glass this Thursday. These pure, refined wines are distinguished by their remarkable core of salty, stony, sea-breeze minerality from a 150-million-year-old terroir rich in ancient seabed limestone and fossils. We love Chablis and couldn’t be more excited about the many opportunities available right now to taste some of the very best examples, including wines from Raveneau and Dauvissat.
Saint-Aubin
Saint-Aubin lies like a well-kept secret just behind the famous Grand Cru vineyards and offers superb, finely structured white wines with vibrant energy and crisp minerality. This is a fantastic opportunity for wine lovers seeking an authentic and accessible path to great Burgundy experiences of exceptional quality.
Puligny-Montrachet
Puligny-Montrachet represents the absolute pinnacle of white Burgundy with its unmatched elegance and razor-sharp minerality. These extraordinary wines offer exceptional precision and tremendous ageing potential, making them a highly sought-after choice for serious collectors in our community.
Chassagne-Montrachet
Chassagne-Montrachet delivers classic, full-bodied, and powerful white wines that impress with their rich structure and deep aromas of pale stone fruit and white flowers. Here you will find magnificent wines with tremendous depth and complexity, guaranteed to enrich the cellar of any quality-conscious wine enthusiast.
