Domaine Leflaive is Puligny’s flagship domaine. The revered winery sits between Meursault to the north and Chassagne to the south, in the heart of Burgundy’s “gold coast,” home to the world’s most renowned (and expensive) Chardonnays.
If DRC makes the best Red Burgundy in the world, then Domaine Leflaive makes the best White Burgundy in the world, it’s that simple. Every year, collecting a few bottles of anything they make is a daunting but incredibly rewarding task. The new 2021s are just now starting to come out from Burgundy, but they show a lot of promise, especially to those with a little bit of patience.
Of course like always, LeFlaive’s Mâcon-Verzé is a total stunner and arguably the best value in the entire portfolio. A seamless blend of nine different vineyards from around the domaine, it’s made in a combination of steel, cement and oak giving it a wide variety of flavor profiles. Of course, it’s got incredible length and precision and what I love about this one the most is the minerality that shines throughout.

“The wine’s prominent vineyard signature or “sense of place” is its core driving feature, and this character is both clearly defined and focused in the wine’s flavor and structure. It shows real authority and great authenticity. Aromatically layered and complex with fresh raspberry and red cherry fruits, then rose petal and thyme, and an underlying mossy, woodsy edge. The wine’s fruit is initially crunchy and crisp before turning darker to sleek and succulent cassis and black cherry. As the wine expands, it grows in volume and mineral focus then finishes long, persistent, and penetrating, with great clarity of flavor and spicy intensity.”
Almondo Roero Arneis Bricco delle Ciliegie Le Rive (Gold Label) is made from the estate’s oldest single plot of vines within the already heralded Bricco Delle Ciliegie (hill of cherries). This is only the fourth vintage of this label but it’s already considered by many to be one of the best white wines in all of Italy. Juicy peaches, pears, and a hint of almonds on the nose. The mouth is dense and fleshy, full of bright fruit, minerality and salinity notes with a touch of spice that’s the highlight of a finish that lingers and lingers in the best way. It’s an absolute treat that I really wish I could snag more than once a year.
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.
The Lauverjat Pouilly Fume 2021 was born just across the Loire River from Sancerre, where the soil is rich with river deposits, Portlandian limestone, and Kimmerdigian limestone. It really is the triple threat of soil, and this flint influence gives the wine incredible depth and beauty. It was entered in the Gilbert & Gaillard International Wine Tasting, where it won the gold medal and was called “a multi-award winning Pouilly-Fume made from old-vines” in a review that ended with a simple declaration: “As good as it gets.”
