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.

91 Points, Neil Martin – Vinous
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.

Every year, Pierre Sparr’s Alsacian Riesling is one of the top scoring wines in the under $20 category. There’s a consistency there and consumers know they can count on a Riesling that is aromatic, fruity, elegant, clean and vibrant. Pierre Sparr wines are extremely food-friendly especially in the widely praised 2021 vintage where quality rose to an all-time high. It’s a bone-dry beauty with layers of citrus fruits, framed by wet stone and mineral character that adds dimension.
92 Points (Best Buy), Wine Enthusiast – 90 Points, James Suckling
The winery could never expected their Tuscan Vermentino would become as integral as it has – even 25 years later, it’s still a key piece of the puzzle for Campo Maccione. It’s an unassuming wine with great viscosity and bright, savory flavors that way overdelivers for the price. James Suckling agreed, as did Wine Enthusiast. Suckling gave it a 90 and deemed it “an interesting take on Tuscan Vermentino.” Wine Enthusiast took it up a few notches, attaching a coveted ‘Best Buy’ designate to the wine along with a 92-point review for the wine “with a sophisticated restraint.”
Sonoma Coast is well-known as a cool-climate region, perfect for growing Chardonnay. That’s why it’s such a big deal for Route Stock to transition over for the first time from Carnernos over to here. The newly released 2022 beams freshness and comes packed with a delightful energy in its youth. It has a pale straw color with lime hues. The aromas are of honeysuckle, orange blossom and creme brulee with layers of vanilla and a hint of toffee. The palate is lively yet soft with flavors of lemon cream pie and merange.

If you’ve never heard of Bisci, let’s start here. Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate called Giuseppe Bisci’s Verdicchio “one of the finest I’ve ever tasted,” and noted that “Verdicchio is one of the joys of Italian oenology that rarely gets the respect it deserves, and few producers do it better than Bisci.” A staple at $85/bottle for both French Laundry and Eleven Madison Park. “Verdicchio is one of the joys of Italian oenology that rarely gets the respect it deserves, and few producers do it better than Bisci.” – The Wine Advocate
