The sister and brother team of Gaetane and Martial Carré is one of my absolute favorite new producers we have welcomed to the NW family of winegrowers. Sister, Gaetane is an absolute dynamo. She works the front of the house, a domaine their father Denis founded 45 years ago, with an infectious enthusiasm that any visitor within 5 minutes knows that they are someplace very special. Her brother, Martial, is a bit more low key. He drives the tractor, makes the wines, and quietly lets his sister sell them.
They work like bulls; together, with their parents, they organically farm 14 hectares of vines in Meursault, Auxey Duresses, Pommard and the Haute Côtes (or almost 50 acres). First up in what I am sure is just the beginning of many offers from this brilliant new producer is the Carré’s Auxey Duresses Blanc Les Vireux Les Vireux straddles two appellations, Meursault and Auxey, sharing the same exact soil composition and exposure just divided by a line that some wealthy bureaucrat drew a few hundred years ago.
My sense is that he probably didn’t own any Auxey Les Vireux on the Carré’s side of the vineyard….great news for us as although this certainly is a Saturday nighter, it’s at least 45% less than it would be if the Carré’s vines were on the Meursault side of the line.

Year in, year out Château Turcaud produces one of the best white wine values in the world. It’s long been found on Michelin-starred wine lists in Paris and we’ve had it at the restaurant since Day 1. If you’ve ever tried this stunning, classic Bordeaux of Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, Sauvignon Gris and Muscadelle, then you know why. The new 2022 vintage has arrived and it’s beaming with energy and pure stone fruits. This is a beauty as always.

“The 2018 Chardonnay Hyde Vineyard marks the beginning of winemaker Joe Nielsen’s tenure at the winery. Pouring a medium yellow with a light golden hue, it’s most reserved of the flight aromatically at the moment, with yellow chamomile flowers, ripe peach, beeswax, and white flowers. Full-bodied, it retains excellent tension and focus on the palate, with apricot, orange zest, and a savory finish with a bit of spice. I suspect this will come around and open with time. Drink 2024-2030.” -Jeb Dunnuck
Elena Walch’s newly released 2022 Pinot Bianco continues to be the best example of Pinot Blanc anywhere. She’s the undisputed queen. There’s so much energy in this new release. Super light in color, with a busy nose that boasts ripe aromas of citrus, granny smith apple with a hint of freshly mowed grass. Made entirely in stainless steel, the wine is expressive, fresh and finishes as clean and tight as can be. Definitely will continue the run of 90+ scores once this one is reviewed.
The newly released Riesling Feinherb 2021 is a lively, juicy wine with an elegant bouquet of minerals, wet stone and ripe fruit. On the palate, the wine’s slight off-dry component is beautifully balanced by the steely acidity typical of the Mosel. Because this is freshly released, the fruit is vibrant and succulent and it comes in somewhere between off-dry and semi-sweet. It’s a great example of Riesling, especially at the price.
