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.

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.
The Zenato family has built up quite the reputation for delivering exceptional value with their red and whites in Veneto. Their Pinot Grigio is a particularly great value, punching way above its weight class. Delicately scented and soft on the palate, it offers classic citrus and floral notes in a balanced elegant style. It’s smooth and refreshing with a long, pleasant finish. Great with food.
2022 was an absolutely perfect vintage in this respect and unfortunately, I think it will be one of the last, if not THE last. As winegrower Jean-Marc Brocard reported to Decanter: “When we taste the wines, we feel that the balance between acidity and ripeness is very good. It’s a classic style of Chablis. In the end, even after such a heat during summertime, we stay in a cool year reference.” He also alluded to the ageability of the vintage, saying “Let’s give them time, we must let nature do its work.”
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 widely praised 2021 vintage where 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.
One of the best places to look for great Tuesday nighters are the sandy, limestone-laden hills of Asti. And within Asti, there is no white wine calling card that holds a candle to Moscato. Here it is king. Gianni Doglia naturally farms a tiny estate in the picturesque hamlet of Castagnole Lanze. His Moscato is the product of old vines, vinfied without oak to preserve its incredible fruit. This is serious, high-quality and hand-harvested Moscat, that oozes with sweet tropical fruits and a hint of minerality that stays on your tongue with each sip. This is also the perfect wine for anyone searching for a low alcohol option as well.
