This comes from Saint-Bris, a tiny village that borders Chablis – with the same kimmeridgian soil that makes Chablis so distinctive and unique. But since they’re just (and I mean just) outside the official Chablis boundary, they’re able to grow a grape those in Chablis can’t: Sauvignon Blanc.
The result is a Sauvignon Blanc that is pure minerality – to a level that is usually reserved for far more expensive Sancerres from Chavignol. It’s a no-frills wine too (in a good way) fully certified biodynamic, hand-picked and fermented in stainless steel so that it accentuates the full aromatic and flavor profile that’s completely unique to Kimmeridgian soil.
I tasted this gem last week which hails from just outside of Burgundy and fell for it right away. The winery is located in a medieval prison so it’s super cold in the cellar and the fermentation takes much longer than neighboring wineries.
The results make it very worth the wait. An elegant Sauv Blanc with green apple, pear, and piercing minerality for the limestone. It’s got great weight, making it the perfect candidate to pair with food and nearly a must at the Thanksgiving table.

The 2020 Saint-Bris Exogyra Virgula, which was taken from tank, has a light apple blossom bouquet with a lovely lemon thyme scent. The patate is fresh, vibrant and very saline, delivering good density and flavors of green apple mixed with pear toward the finish. Superb.

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.
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.
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.

Of course, the Trefethens’ Chardonnay history is well documented. It dates back to the Judgement of Paris and the 1979 Wine World Olympics hosted by the French publication Gault & Millau, where their Chardonnay finished first overall. That pursuit of excellence is still just as strong as ever, as evidenced by the family’s most recent Chardonnay bottling. It’s a 93-point beauty that absolutely dazzles, especially at its incredibly modest price tag.
