Trediberri, founded only in 2007, is one of the newest producers in the entire Barolo DOC. Yet their wines taste so utterly classical and traditional that you would never guess. The wines feel like they've been around for generations.
Domaine Michel Lafarge is one of Burgundy’s great names, a true superstar in the pantheon of the region’s best estates.
They make very traditional Volnays that last a long, long time, are very limited, and are very expensive. But they also make some less exalted wines, which we affectionately call their “baby” wines.
The first time we tasted Pierre Girardin’s wines, we were floored. They had that rare mix of taut structure, subtle reduction, and soaring energy, all wrapped in a texture that whispered top-tier white Burgundy. When we learned the winemaker behind them was still in his 20s, we were stunned. These were wines with the quiet confidence of a seasoned pro, not a newcomer still finding his voice.
