I say this only to warn you that this one will not last long. The 2018 vintage in Sancerre was monumental. Winemakers were the first to sing its praises. Alphone Mellot declared “This is a mythical vintage – 1947 but with quantity!” Jolivet agreed, chiming in that, “The 2018 vintage is one of the most exceptional vintages that we’ve seen in the past 50 years.” I’ll ‘help out’ with any Sancerre, especially abandoned 2018 Sancerre I assumed was long gone.
Domaine Reverdy-Ducroux traces its roots back to 1550, but with 14th generation winemaker Laurent now at the helm, they have not been sitting on their laurels. The last 20 years have been spent transforming the historic estate to best capture the individual essence of each of their distinct 70 micro-plots.
The ‘Beauroy’ is selected from those parcels that cut right through the center of the estate creating a dynamic and beautifully round expression of Sauvignon as you find on the best clay/limestone type soils near the town of Verdigny. Bright citrus, phenomenal balance, the 2018 Reverdy-Ducroux has a super long, harmonious finish.

It’s an electric white Burgundy, with a limestone-laced aromatic profile of green apple, pear and hazelnut. Refined and high-toned, the pure, delicious fruit that is a hallmark of this terrific vintage, finishes long and fresh, with a mile-long mineral streak.
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 2022 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.
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.
92 Points (Best Buy), Wine Enthusiast – 90 Points, James Suckling
The winery could never expected their Tuscan Vermentino would become as integral as it has – even 25 years later, it’s still a key piece of the puzzle for Campo Maccione. It’s an unassuming wine with great viscosity and bright, savory flavors that way overdelivers for the price. James Suckling agreed, as did Wine Enthusiast. Suckling gave it a 90 and deemed it “an interesting take on Tuscan Vermentino.” Wine Enthusiast took it up a few notches, attaching a coveted ‘Best Buy’ designate to the wine along with a 92-point review for the wine “with a sophisticated restraint.”
