Arguably the very best Crottin de Chavignol in the Loire Valley comes from the Cherrier Family. I also came to find out that the family also has 25 acres perfectly situated in the heart of Sancerre. The soil here is unique, incorporating all three soil types of Sancerre in a single bottle. It’s magical.
But in order to let their unique terroir shine through, they have to practice the ultimate restraint in both the vineyard and in the wine cellar. Beyond organic, the vineyards are tended entirely by hand with no additives at all. In the cellar, yeasts are all natural. There’s no fining. No filtering.
I never thought my knowledge of cheese would get my foot into the winery door but sure enough – 20 cases of their very top bottling just cleared customs earmarked for Nicholas Wines customers – and it’s 50% off the $50 release price. The L’Essentiel is hand-picked from the best parcels and aged an extra year in bottle prior to release.
The nose is some of the most intense Sancerre that I’ve sniffed in years, at first, expressing spicy minerality, before darting in multiple directions, finally landing on sweet peach. The flavor offers all that you’d expect from the very best Sancerre – minerality, stony peaches, all perfectly balanced on an acidic backbone.
Unfortunately, precious little of their wine makes it stateside. 25 cases are up for grabs. $50 on release – just $27 dollars today or add it into a case you get the best price in the country. Bring on the heat. Sip this one waterside and if you can – try it with a fresh goat cheese.

Fresh goat cheese
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.
This is a super elegant Meursault from the family-run estate located in the village of Monthelie, between Volnay and Meursault in the heart of Burgundy’s Côte de Beaune. It leads with nutty aromas of brioche, fresh butter and delicate citrus and is extremely well structured, long and stylish with great purity of fruit.
Just in time, we got back Vincent Ricard’s all-time great white wine bargain. This is a crisp, clean and flat out delicious Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc. The protege to the Silex-style of Dagueneau – who over the last 15 years has produced flawless and beloved white wines that at last count were on the wine lists of over 36 Michelin-starred restaurants. This is a great house white and one that can surely hold its own with just about everything on the table.
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.
