Founded in 1717, Domaine Leflaive has long been considered the most highly regarded white wine domaine in all of Burgundy. Pierre Vincent – who joined in 2017 from Domaine de la Vougeraie – was handed a gem of a vintage. Hard to believe there was room for improvement, but the 2018s may just prove us wrong.
Wine Spectator recently featured the famous winery and declared, “Domaine Leflaive is Puligny’s flagship domaine.” Then they dialed in on 2018 “an ideal vintage at Domaine Leflaive” and took aim at the Puligny-Montrachet in particular and its immense vibrancy and flavor profile.
In tasting this one last week, I was blown away by the burst of peach, Meyer lemon and citrus flavors as well as the incredible depth and weight to the wine. It’s got a really nice balance to it and is so clean and woven wonderfully tight with tremendous acidity behind it that leaves me to believe that this beauty will drink well for the better part of the next two decades.

“A debut variety for this label. Stainless steel fermented and aged for five months, it was pressed whole cluster, crémant style which resulted in fine acidity and an inner sunshine. Its just-sliced lemon- fresh nose sends one to a perfectly balanced palate. Melon, guava, and banana are glossy and clean. The stony mid-to-finish leaves a trace of terroir on the tongue.”
It’s hard to beat a great value white wine and this one is a at least a cut above the rest. One prominant industry insider called the 2020 edition, “the best white wine by any within $20/cs of this price.” It’s super crisp with a great mineral streak, and was carefully picked by hand when the temperature is coolest and is kept cool all the way into the press. From there, the effect of the mineral soil takes over, providing great finesse and freshness in every bottle. This white blend has great backbone and a lot of juicy fruit coming through behind aromas of flowers and stone fruits. At this price, it’s a no brainer.
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 Muscadlle, then you know why. The 2020 vintage has just arrived, and it’s a fantastic vintage in Bordeaux for energetic whites. This is world-class, as always.

“Distinctive and stylish, this white offers bold passionfruit, gooseberry and lemon verbena notes on a crisp frame, with white pepper, dried pineapple and candied ginger notes on the long finish. A precise thread of acidity weaves in and out and a touch of lanolin lingers. Drink now.”
