Jean-Claude Janin’s brilliant estate in southern Burgundy, Terres de Chatenay is great farming of old vines on limestone soils.
I met Jean-Claude years ago when he was delivering grapes huge domaine in the Mâcon where I was tasting with a friend. My buddy introduced me to Jean Claude as a brilliant farmer that sold most of his grapes but made a little bit of wine for his himself. “A little wine, for a tiny domaine”, he humbly said. This peaked my interest, I know this game. I struck up a conversation as best I could with Jean Claude and asked if I could taste his wine. As I suspected, he, of course, kept the best stuff for himself. His white Burgundies were as good as any I tasted on that trip and they were about half the price.
Years, later, Terre de Chatenay has developed cult status here at Nicholas Wines; the wines are uncommonly fine, delivering incredible quality:price ratio. The 2018 Mâcon Peronne is no exception, stainless-steel fermented Chardonnay, pure of fruit with electric minerality. Long on the palate, crisp in its finish, this is wine to drink with anything from the sea or Thanksgiving dinner.

Long on the palate, crisp in its finish, this is wine to drink with anything from the sea or Thanksgiving dinner.
It’s a great choice for a house white, perfect with so many things, roasted chicken, flaky white fish and just by itself as the perfect apertif.
Herve Fabre’s Torrontes is an electric, fantastic bottle of wine for the price tag. It’s a crisp, mineral-laced white wine treat from our good friend, and one of Argentina’s very best. Crafted in Valle de Uco in the Mendoza region, this delicious white offers delicate aromas of white flowers, orange blossom with a touch of lime that adds a wonderful lift to the wine.
The newly released 2021 Brunori ‘Le Gemme’ Verdichio is everything you’re looking for in a vibrant, food-friendly white wine. About a billion times better than every-day Pinot Grigio, the Brunori is an electric, vibrant white which combines delicious fruit and vibrancy with boasts a killer nose of white peach, honeycomb and almonds. The fruit is wonderfully concentrated with a salty, stony finish that goes forever. The best part of this beauty is that it’s not just a summer wine- it’s absolutely delicious year round.
Etienne Daulny is the latest in a very long line of Daulnys to farm Sauvignon Blanc near the tiny hamlet of Verdigny in the appellation of Sancerre. He is currently in charge of farming over twenty small parcels including some incredibly well respected fifty-year-old vines. This is a classic Sancerre, aromatically dynamic, with intense fruit, distinct minerality and blazing acidity. It’s the white wine we drink most often at home. Beautiful structure and length to this with a youthful vibrancy that shines throughout.
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.”
