60 miles further north than the rest of Burgundy – the wines can really struggle unless conditions are perfect – both with the weather and in the cellar. Great Chablis have an acidity that attacks your tastebuds, but too often in the lesser wines this goes unchecked – and unfortunately, too many of the top wines are overly saturated in wood – masking what makes Chablis great.
So believe me, I’ve tried. But over five years of tasting, I’ve just never found enough of a truly great Chablis at a reasonable price. Not only does that change today – but this wine is a walk-off homer at under $25 (when added to a case).
The Vocorets are one of the oldest producers in Chablis – and still family owned and operated today. Founded in 1870 – they’ve been through the highs and lows. In the late 1800s and early twentieth century, Chablis was THE WHITE WINE of the Parisian bistro set. Barges would jam the River Seine for months out of the year – bringing wine directly into the city.
But then Phylloxera ravaged the vineyards and when railroads replaced the rivers for commercial transport – Chablis was passed over. Many sold (or even abandoned) their vineyards, but not the Vocorets. They simply dusted themselves off – relocated vineyards and got the next generation ready to take over.

Elena Walch’s newly released 2022 Pinot Bianco continues to be the best example of Pinot Blanc anywhere. She’s the undisputed queen. There’s so much energy in this new release. Super light in color, with a busy nose that boasts ripe aromas of citrus, granny smith apple with a hint of freshly mowed grass. Made entirely in stainless steel, the wine is expressive, fresh and finishes as clean and tight as can be. Definitely will continue the run of 90+ scores once this one is reviewed.
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.
This is a super elegant Meursault from the family-run estate located in the village of Monthelie, between Volnay and Meursault in the heart of Burgundy’s Côte de Beaune. It leads with nutty aromas of brioche, fresh butter and delicate citrus and is extremely well structured, long and stylish with great purity of fruit.
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.
