If you’re ever walking the vineyards chez D’yquem – take a quick look across and up the hill – there you’ll find another ‘first growth’ premiere cru that has largely flown under the radar – which is a very good thing for us.
Listed in the original 1855 classification of Sauternes and Barsac directly behind Yquem and La Tour Blanche, Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey drastically over delivers, consistently hitting way above its weight class. Despite souring scores and rave critical reviews – year in and year out – the wines are still incredibly affordable.
The 2005 Chateau Lafaurie-Peyraguey features abundant tension between the slight tinge of sweetness and its bracing acidity. In the glass, it continues to unfold throughout the evening – sometimes featuring coastal fruits – pineapple, mango and citrus and sometimes leaning towards almond, praline, and lemon curd. You can just sit and sip all night.

95 Points, James Suckling
This is powerful and racy with lots of class. Full body, very sweet with lots of spicy botrytis character. Intense. Drink or hold.

The Zenato family has built up quite the reputation for delivering exceptional value with their red and whites in Veneto. Their Pinot Grigio is a particularly great value, punching way above its weight class. Delicately scented and soft on the palate, it offers classic citrus and floral notes in a balanced elegant style. It’s smooth and refreshing with a long, pleasant finish. Great with food.
It’s an electric white Burgundy, with a limestone-laced aromatic profile of green apple, pear and hazelnut. Refined and high-toned, the pure, delicious fruit that is a hallmark of this terrific vintage, finishes long and fresh, with a mile-long mineral streak.
92 Points (Best Buy), Wine Enthusiast – 90 Points, James Suckling
The winery could never expected their Tuscan Vermentino would become as integral as it has – even 25 years later, it’s still a key piece of the puzzle for Campo Maccione. It’s an unassuming wine with great viscosity and bright, savory flavors that way overdelivers for the price. James Suckling agreed, as did Wine Enthusiast. Suckling gave it a 90 and deemed it “an interesting take on Tuscan Vermentino.” Wine Enthusiast took it up a few notches, attaching a coveted ‘Best Buy’ designate to the wine along with a 92-point review for the wine “with a sophisticated restraint.”
For years now, I’ve been absolutely delighted by the White Burgundies at Domaine Corsin. There’s really good reason for that. The Corsin’s holdings in Pouilly-Fuissé include many of the best situated sites in the appellation. This wine comes from a selection of older vines grown in these limestone soils. The current vintage is simply showing fantastic at the moment. The 2020 Corsin Domain’s Pouilly-Fuissé ‘Vieilles Vignes’ displays a bright golden hue with a hint of green. Its subtle bouquet with a woody-vanilla note enhances the slightly sharp, sophisticated fullness on the palate mingled with a generous underlying impression of toasted bread.
