♥ 40+ year old vines mostly situated in Vaillons proper with additional parcels in Châtains and Epinottes... Background hints of reduction slowly dissipate thanks to aggressive swirling to slowly reveal notes of lemon rind, white flower, brine and algae. There is a lovely texture to the utterly delicious middleweight flavors that exhibit good length on the slightly more tightly wound finale where a touch of bitter citrus zest slowly emerges. This does need to develop more depth but that should occur over the next 2 to 3 years." 91 -- AM

One of the greatest things about white Burgundy is the myriad expressions we encounter, from just one grape—the noble Chardonnay. The terroir of different villages and different vineyards makes tasting these wines a study in comparison and contrast.

From the northern reaches of Chablis down to the Mâcon, there are excellent winemakers whose wines we seek out each year. For excellent village, 1er Cru and Grand Cru Chablis, perfectly balanced and exquisitely mineral, we reach for Domaine Christian Moreau.

"Here too the nose is exuberantly fruity while displaying background hints of lemon rind, white flower, brine and algae. There is a lovely texture to the utterly delicious middle weight flavors that exhibit good length on the slightly more tightly wound finale. This does need to develop more depth but that should occur over the next 2 to 3 years." -Allen Meadows

Antonio Galloni

AG 93

"The 2020 Chablis Vaillon 1er Cru is 35% matured in barrel until March, when the entire production is transferred into tank. It has a detailed, floral bouquet of pressed white flower and dandelion scents mixed with honeysuckle and orange pith. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, orange peel flavors and hints of mandarin. Taut and fresh toward the finish. This is a classy 2020 Vaillon to follow on from the strong 2019." -Vinous

Burgundy has long been the world's most famous wine region. But, underneath all the prestige, this region can be hard to get to know.

While Burgundy offers many great trophies from top producers in well-known villages like Vosne Romanee and Puligny Montrachet, it also offers excellent values to anyone willing to explore beyond the famous names. Our collection– one of the largest in the U.S. – has plenty of both!

From the very basics of Burgundy's regions and wines to the specific terroirs of individual single vineyards--
everything you need to know about Bourgogne is just a click away!
