On my last trip to visit Fabrice – after an incredible dinner, he took me by the estate to visit his new cave for cellaring. Little did I know, he meant an actual cave. He bought a piece of property and later discovered a cellar carved into a hillside of chalk sometime around the 9th century!?!. He had no idea it was there.
The best part was at the opening of the cave there is a pizza/bread oven dug right into the wall. I promised Fabrice I would cook him dinner in it when he completed his renovation. How awesome will that be when I get to cook in an oven 900 years old?
The most unique, interesting and flat out delicious wine we drank with Fabrice was his incredibly rare Chinon Blanc, crafted from Chenin Blanc grapes. It’s not just rare for Fabrice, it’s rare for the entire area. Chinon is a sea of red grape vines, Chenin represents just 2% of the entire production. Fabrice makes a whopping 300 cases.
I’ve told you about my love for Chenin before, it’s generally my go-to white variety whenever Melissa and I go out to dinner. The good ones have the complexity of white Burgundy matched with the acidity of Sancerre. Fabrice’s is not good, it’s great.

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.

“Soaring lemon cream aromatics accented by notes of sea spray, lemongrass and beeswax mark this coastal Chardonnay from Flowers on the Sonoma Coast. The palate is fresh and linear. Oyster shell salinity, bee pollen and grilled lemon make for a savoury balance with delicate crushed chalk minerality.”
Just in time, we got back Vincent Ricard’s all-time great white wine bargain. This is a crisp, clean and flat out delicious Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc. The protege to the Silex-style of Dagueneau – who over the last 15 years has produced flawless and beloved white wines that at last count were on the wine lists of over 36 Michelin-starred restaurants. This is a great house white and one that can surely hold its own with just about everything on the table.
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.
