With fingers crossed, I am already planning my first trip back to France since 2019. One of my first stops is sure to be at Vincent Ricard to see the jolliest guy in the Touraine. Aside from being a brilliant and passionate winegrower, he’s got an enthusiasm for life, laughing and great food that is second to none.
On my last trip there, that enthusiasm had me holding on for dear life in the back of his Citroën Jumpy as he drove way too fast up a winding dirt road with only one hand casually on the wheel as he turned to excitedly explain to me the cultivation of a certain giant pile of manure. Le merde magique…
Just beyond that pile of magic organic do-do that fertilizes all of the Ricard vineyards, lies a small parcel of old Sauvignon Blanc vines rooted in the rare silex soils more commonly found in Sancerre or Pouilly Fume. The flinty soil lends a more elegant character to the Sauvignon, with a silky, transparent quality that highlights savory and mineral notes rarely found in wine at this price.

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.
A textbook Sancerre Blanc from the village of Bué year in year out, this has become a little bit harder to get ever since it got a huge score in its first year of being reviewed. Now, our little secret isn’t such a little secret anymore. Drawn off the highest in elevation in Sancerre with the most calcareous soil, it is a chiseled, tightly wound and incredibly complex Sauvignon Blanc, which I’d argue is one of the best in the world and certainly from one of the best and most consistent winemakers in the Loire Valley.
The newly released 2021 Brunori ‘Le Gemme’ Verdichio is everything you’re looking for in a vibrant, food-friendly white wine. About a billion times better than every-day Pinot Grigio, the Brunori is an electric, vibrant white which combines delicious fruit and vibrancy with boasts a killer nose of white peach, honeycomb and almonds. The fruit is wonderfully concentrated with a salty, stony finish that goes forever. The best part of this beauty is that it’s not just a summer wine- it’s absolutely delicious year round.
For those of you looking for a semi-dry Riesling to pair with seafood, salads, pastas or poultry, you don’t have to look any further. Ratzenberger is a benchmark in the region and their consistency in making expressive, classy Riesling continues with the newly released 2019 Kabintt Feinherb. It manages to bring to the table savory, sweet and tangy acidic notes. It’s a versatile bottle of white, that’s for sure.
