My time at Jean-Georges opened my eyes to world of fine dining. The economy was flying and there was no place in the city where the truly epic, standard-bearing wines of the world flew off the list with more regularity. Harlan, DRC, Chateau Latour and Dom Perignon might as well have been Tuesday nighters at Jean Georges in that era. For white Burgundy, and specifically, Puligny Montrachet, nothing sold quite like Etienne Sauzet.
25 years later, not much has changed in terms of the demand on Etienne Sauzet. The Big Man has it exactly right, Sauzet creates benchmark wines not only for Puligny Montrachet but for all of Burgundy. Current winemaker, Emilie Boillot, Etienne’s great grand-daughter, has amazingly raised the bar, farming biodynamically, reducing yields, and employing a more rigorous selection of grapes. The resulting wines are nothing short of fantastic and the new releases from Burgundy’s fantastic 2018 are out of this world.
The Bourgogne blanc gives drinkers the opportunity to have the fruit of Burgundy’s all-time great white producers labor at a rare under $50 price tag. And as many of you probably could have guessed, this bottle is probably the best of all the Bourgogne Blancs and really gives wines twice and three times the price a run for its money.

“This is one of the most serious estates in Burgundy. The wines are usually among the very best made….They are textbook white burgundies, brimming with flavor, yet elegant & well balanced”
-Robert M. Parker, Jr., The Wine Advocate
I love the 2017 village Puligny, a rich but racy white Burg with a mineral length that not only shows it is one of the best white wines in the world for fine cuisine but also has the legs to gracefully age for a least a decade.

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.
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.”
The newly released 2022 Domaine Laroche Chablis Saint Martin has some big shoes to fill as the last four vintages have earned 92-points or higher, but the early indications are that this is line with previous vintages if not even a little bit ahead at this stage. The problem is – there’s almost none to go around with much smaller yields. Still this is beautiful and crisp, with good focus, energy and depth. I get the signature green fruits on the nose, with some Asian pear, and a hint of jasmine blossom. There’s a beautiful mineral streak that highlights this one. It’s a fantastic White Burg for the price.
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.
