Mallory and Benjamin Talmard are not modern, tinkering winemakers. They have a singular focus; growing Chardonnay grapes and the producing the purest form of the variety that both reflects the steep hillsides of the Maconnais and their incredibly hard work. Their focus is old-school and for me, this is the kind of grower I seek out when it comes to white Burgundy.
Growers of Chardonnay on the limestone soils of southern Burgundy since the 17th century, the Talmards currently work 30 hectares of Chardonnay vines spanning five villages. The vines are old, averaging 40 years. The Talmards use only stainless steel in their winemaking, they don’t want the influence of oak in any of their wines, just the sunny, opulent fruit and the crisp, saline minerality unique to Burgundy.
Very few producers master that special White Burgundy vibrancy with more care than Mallory and Benjamin Talmard. Talmard Macon Uchizy is Chardonnay in its purest form, juicy, vibrant and so food-friendly.

Glistening pale yellow-green to the rim, infused with mouth-watering aromas of ripe apple, pear and quince, and crushed almonds with honey and rich creamy middle and a fantastic rush of acidity and minerality that are present throughout. A calling card of Bonhomme’s Vire-Clesse, if you closed your eyes and took a sip, it would have you convinced you were drinking Meursault at least a 3x price tag.
I’ve forewarned Nicholas Wines customers that the 2022 vintage in Burgundy appears to be outstanding. As such, I’ve been stocking up on as much as I can. This one though is a Saturday Nighter – a special wine for sure. It comes from Fourchaume (one of the most noted Chablis 1ers crus) and vineyards situated on long slopes facing the sunrise, which allow for rapid soil warm up – a huge key to making deep, concentrated Chablis. Here the soils are predominantly brown clay and only slightly stony. Most of them are fairly deep and well-draining. It’s one of those most special white wine locations in all of Burgundy. This is a classic.
The newly released Riesling Feinherb 2021 is a lively, juicy wine with an elegant bouquet of minerals, wet stone and ripe fruit. On the palate, the wine’s slight off-dry component is beautifully balanced by the steely acidity typical of the Mosel. Because this is freshly released, the fruit is vibrant and succulent and it comes in somewhere between off-dry and semi-sweet. It’s a great example of Riesling, especially at 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.
