We set the bar high with this one—almost too high. Out of the gate, the first Appliqué wine we offered last summer was a stunning Chardonnay from a 1,700-foot Sonoma site that produced a 100-point wine in Robert Parker’s book. At over half off the original price, promising vanilla-flecked sunshine in a glass for under-$20,…
The 2018 Bernardus Ingrid’s Vineyard Chardonnay is a scintillating high-water mark of Central Coast elegance, available today at an extraordinary price. Each sip, filled with honeycomb-tipped heft and crisp acidity, leaves you wondering why you’re not drinking it every week. The reason is simple: Most of this benchmark California Chardonnay is spoken for before the…
Robert Redford introduced our own Eduardo Dingler to Black Kite’s Pinot Noir long ago, when Eduardo was a server at Napa’s iconic Tra Vigne restaurant. Black Kite Pinot is now a favorite among our members—but their Pinot is only the start of the story. Their Gap’s Crown Chardonnay—from one of Sonoma’s most coveted vineyards—is just…
Centuries of Meursault’s fame are justified by the aromas alone. Beautiful notes of Cox’s Orange Pippin apples, fresh pears, toasted whole-grains, and exotic spices swirl and captivate, introducing a palate that combines orchard fruit, hazelnuts, and a rippling acidity. This is Chardonnay at its most serious and seductive. It’s also no wonder why, when we…
The extraordinary Domaine Comtesse de Chérisey La Genelotte—which has graced tables at London’s four-time “Wine List of the Year” recipient Noble Rot—shows exactly why Chardonnay from Meursault-Blagny belongs alongside the Côte d’Or’s upper-echelon bottles. Presenting the same kind of flawless balance and richness that have cemented Meursault legends in four-digit price territory, the 2018 La…
Finding affordable white Burgundy in the Mâcon is easy. But finding a value Chardonnay from the Mâcon that delivers the precision and balance we demand out of bottles from the Côte d’Or? That’s hard—which is why we move mountains to get an allocation when a wine like Domaine de Rochebin’s Clos Saint-Germain comes on our…
There’s a reason that most of the Chablis we offer is around $30 per bottle. The region has been afflicted with a string of exceptionally low-yielding vintages—while worldwide demand exploded. So wines that meet our stringent standards usually come with prices that push them into the realm of considered consumption. But we grew up in…
“Meursault, right?” That was the first thing our Head of Wine, Vanessa Conlin, said after sampling the paper-bag-wrapped 2018 Domaine Hubert Bouzereau-Gruère Bourgogne. We were intrigued by her confidence, not just because Vanessa’s a Master of Wine who aced the test’s blind-tasting gauntlet, but because the bottle in question wore a humble Bourgogne label. When…
St.-Aubin used to be the white-Burgundy lover’s secret weapon. The village, nestled above Chassagne-Montrachet, was once under the radar to all but insiders, despite the fact that its best wines boast the same striking minerality, beautiful texture, and stunning complexity of their bigger-name—and much more expensive—neighbors. These days the secret is out, but Bouzerau-Gruère’s 2018…
Domaine Gautherin’s 2018 Vaudésirs takes perfect measure of Chablis Grand Cru and delivers a tour de force surpassing our already high expectations for the category. There’s simply nothing like it. And it’s an extremely rare retail find. This is only the second time in our history that we’ve offered any Vaudésir. Most of the Gautherin…
The Grand Cru vineyards of Chablis are something to behold: An amphitheater of parcels overlooking the Serein river, they seem to have been designed to perfectly capture the sun’s rays. But even in this golden slope of vines, with its legendary names like Les Clos, Blanchot, and Valmur, some parcels stand out more than the…
We waited for our very first allocation from Sonoma County’s iconic DuMOL winery for nearly three years, and all that anticipation set the bar almost impossibly high. But when the Wester Reach Chardonnay finally arrived last year, it not only went beyond our expectations… … it became our #1 member-rated California Chardonnay of 2020. One…
Depending on who you ask, the list of truly classic California Chardonnays can be counted on just one hand—never more than two. But no matter who’s counting, Wine & Spirits Top 100 winery Dutton-Goldfield makes the cut. The Dutton Ranch Chardonnay is Dutton-Goldfield’s flagship bottling, a California Grand Cru, grown from among the most coveted sites…
The last Editorial wine our jet-setting journalist friend put us onto was a bombshell, selling out within two days. Somehow, the unlabeled Russian River Valley Chardonnay he’d FedExed to our desk last week was every bit as thrilling—and available at an even lower price. Like Kistler’s best releases, it’s deep, rich, and unctuous on the…
Most winemakers would be lucky to have just one legendary mentor in their career. Jérôme Chéry had TWO. The Fog Crest winemaker learned the craft of Chardonnay at the side of not only John Kongsgaard—whose $900 The Judge is a collectible on par with Grand Cru Burgundy—but also Ted Lemon of Littorai, perhaps the greatest…
If you love opulent Chardonnay and you’re looking for thrills on the level of California’s icons, the 2018 Foxen Tinaquaic is a perfect fit. This expertly crafted, single-vineyard, dry-farmed luxury California wine wows both critics and customers alike. Jeb Dunnuck crowed, “This rich, textured, yet still fresh and lively Chardonnay does everything right,” while Antonio…
Ask any Chardonnay-loving wine expert and they’ll tell you that affordable village-level Puligny, Chassagne-Montrachet, or Meursault from great producers has become an endangered species. We mean RARE. That’s what makes the 2018 François Carillon Saint Aubin so exceptional. Grown in chalky, rocky, limestone-rich soils just up the hill from Puligny and Chassagne, directly above the…
Wine Enthusiast was right when they wrote, “This wine offers such tremendous value and quality—it should be on everyone’s go-to list for Russian River Valley Chardonnay.” But it’s not just among Russian River bottlings that the “detailed” and “lengthy” Gary Farrell Selection stands out. This puts all of Sonoma on notice. It’s no surprise, really….
It’s a memory that pops up in our white wine daydreams: Sitting at the beloved San Francisco brasserie Absinthe, our table piled high with an ice-mounded plate of oysters, spiced and fried chickpeas, and enough country pâté to mortar a brick wall. Swirling in our glasses was one of the few wines that could tie…
A few years back, our chief dealmaker Eduardo Dingler wrangled a Chardonnay that left our Rombauer and Far Niente fans reeling. It was Gold Crush, the California crowd-pleaser that cracks the code of luscious, oak-kissed California Chardonnay—and it earned hundreds of instant fans. We thought it was one and done, until Eddie tracked down a…
