2008 Langoreau St. Aubin Blanc (Burgundy, France)

“The hamlet of St. Aubin sits above the vineyards of Puligny-Montrachet, the homeland of chardonnay. 75 years ago St. Aubin was sold as Puligny-Montrachet. With AOC laws this no longer happens but the wines of St. Aubin can represent remarkable value as is the case with Langoreau St. Aubin; half the price of Puligny-Montrachet. The precision of the 08 vintage makes this a most impressive find.”

2008 Langoreau St. Aubin (Burgundy, France)  $19.99

2007 Olivier Leflaive Bourgogne Blanc Les Sétilles (Burgundy)

2007 Olivier Leflaive Bourgogne Blanc Les Sétilles

2007 Olivier Leflaive Bourgogne Blanc Les Sétilles - $17.99 or $16.19 by the case!

“Exceptional chardonnay without the drag of oak. A blend of wine from two villages in Burgundy, France which typically sell for 2 and three times this price. With the nerve typical of the wines from the village of Puligny-Montrachet blended with the fatter fleshier wine from the village of Meursault. Stunning Chardonnay value.”
