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.

Gold Medal (Best in Show), 2023 Mundus Vini International Tasting
The area has also been isolated from the rest of Spain for generations, which has kept the wine prices far lower than wines of this quality would be anywhere else in the world. That’s why, despite having the Torres family name on the bottle and the consistent huge press (including the Gold Medal & Best in Show at the 2023 Mundus Vini International Wine Awards in Germany), these wines can still be scooped up for under $20/bottle. It’s like the Sancerre pricing of yesteryear.
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.
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.

If you’ve never heard of Bisci, let’s start here. Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate called Giuseppe Bisci’s Verdicchio “one of the finest I’ve ever tasted,” and noted that “Verdicchio is one of the joys of Italian oenology that rarely gets the respect it deserves, and few producers do it better than Bisci.” A staple at $85/bottle for both French Laundry and Eleven Madison Park. “Verdicchio is one of the joys of Italian oenology that rarely gets the respect it deserves, and few producers do it better than Bisci.” – The Wine Advocate
