Year in, year out the Entre-Deux Mers is one of the best white wines for the price in the world. It’s no wonder it has appeared all over Michelin-starred wine lists in Paris for years.
The Château Turcaud Entre-Deux-Mers Blanc is 50% Sauvignon Blanc, 45% Sémillon and 5% Muscadelle with intense aromas of citrus fruits, lychee, lime, and floral notes. It has a fruity liveliness and a surprisingly long and refreshing finish. A perfect wine to be enjoyed on a hot summer day, with or without food. At $14, you’ll want to grab all the bottles you can!
Available by the glass at Restaurant Nicholas since day 1 because it is aromatic, crisp and clean, making it one of the most versatile wines I’ve ever tasted.

This wine is best enjoyed within two years of the vintage, well-chilled as an aperitif, with all sorts of seafood, or with goat’s milk, ewe’s milk, and hard cheeses.
Glistening pale yellow-green to the rim, infused with mouth-watering aromas of ripe apple, pear and quince, and crushed almonds with honey and rich creamy middle and a fantastic rush of acidity and minerality that are present throughout. A calling card of Bonhomme’s Vire-Clesse, if you closed your eyes and took a sip, it would have you convinced you were drinking Meursault at least a 3x price tag.
2022 was an absolutely perfect vintage in this respect and unfortunately, I think it will be one of the last, if not THE last. As winegrower Jean-Marc Brocard reported to Decanter: “When we taste the wines, we feel that the balance between acidity and ripeness is very good. It’s a classic style of Chablis. In the end, even after such a heat during summertime, we stay in a cool year reference.” He also alluded to the ageability of the vintage, saying “Let’s give them time, we must let nature do its work.”
The newly released 2022 Domaine Laroche Chablis Saint Martin has some big shoes to fill as the last four vintages have earned 92-points or higher, but the early indications are that this is line with previous vintages if not even a little bit ahead at this stage. The problem is – there’s almost none to go around with much smaller yields. Still this is beautiful and crisp, with good focus, energy and depth. I get the signature green fruits on the nose, with some Asian pear, and a hint of jasmine blossom. There’s a beautiful mineral streak that highlights this one. It’s a fantastic White Burg for the price.
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.
