For as many years as I’ve had a restaurant, I’ve been ordering wines from Domaine Leflaive for my wine list. They’re a true iconic Burgundian producer who many will tell you simply makes the best white wines in the world. You can find them in more than half the Michelin starred list throughout the world.
But recently, Leflaive has increased their holdings, especially in the budding Mâcon-Verzé, and they did it by purchasing another of Burgundy’s treasured sites, Domaine de la Jobeline. Jobeline has been making gorgeous white burgundies for years.
The 2019 Domaine de la Jobeline Allure Mâcon-Verzé is actually a follow-up to the 2018 vintage which Decanter gave a whopping 96-point score to at their annual Awards competition. For one of greatest Burgundy vintages of all time though, they didn’t even bother submit the sample for a score. It doesn’t matter. The allocation has completely vanished as soon as it was released. Luckily, we’ve been locked into this deal for months.

Every year, this wine has proven to be a Nicholas Wines staple. The newly released 2022 Frenzy Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is a fabulous value white wine, loaded with green apples, pears and white peaches plus a hint of spice. It’s juicy and fresh, the perfect cocktail hour white. It’s what is referred to as the perfect ‘pool wine’. It’s great paired with just about anything or just enjoyed on its own.

Every year, Pierre Sparr’s Alsacian Riesling is one of the top scoring wines in the under $20 category. There’s a consistency there and consumers know they can count on a Riesling that is aromatic, fruity, elegant, clean and vibrant. Pierre Sparr wines are extremely food-friendly especially in the highly-regarded 2020 vintage where yields were down but quality rose to an all-time high. It’s a bone-dry beauty with layers of citrus fruits, framed by wet stone and mineral character that adds dimension.
I’m lucky to have a few cases of this instant classic, immaculate and complex, this is a wonderfully pure expression of Chardonnay that is so distinctly Jermann. His extraordinary, multi-layered, extract-loaded whites are landmarks of contemporary winemaking. This one has a lot of nuance and depth, and finishes strongly with what Wine Spectator called, “A streak of tangy salinity.”
This is about as special as it gets for white wine. My other Leflaive is declassified P-M but this is the real thing from the best White Burgundy producer by far. The Leflaive family’s roots in the region date back to 1717, but the wines rose to prominence under the stewardship of Joseph Leflaive. For decades and decades, they’ve been the top dog in the region – even DRC will tell you who makes the best whites! Their 2020 Puligny-Montrachet is a gorgeous, effortless bottling with a fantastic mineral streak that cuts through the abundant pure citrus fruit.
