There's a particular kind of pleasure in a white Burgundy that makes these wines so sought after. That moment when lemon zest and wet stone give way to a mineral-driven freshness and energy — the kind of flavors that bring your palate alive and leave you craving another sip.
We've spent the last 30+ years searching for exactly these kinds of wines. Often lesser-known appellations or regional bottlings from top producers that simply over-deliver — wines that punch well above their station without announcing it. These are the bottles we open at home on a Tuesday, the ones we press into the hands of friends who think they don't like Chardonnay. We invite you to explore everything we love about Burgundy, at a price point every wine lover can get behind.

- One of our best-selling wines, loved by our most loyal customers
- Best buy in our white Burgundy lineup, fruits sourced from vineyards sit within Puligny-Montrachet, Meursault, St-Aubin, and Auxey-Duresses, a regional Burgundy that overdelivers
- Lemon curd and flint on the nose, rich, full palate, with a subtle oily texture and underlying acidity that keeps everything fresh and alive — a level of depth and precision rarely found at this level.
- Drink it now with roast chicken, grilled fish, or a soft washed-rind cheese — or tuck a few bottles away for two to three years and watch the citrus soften into something richer and more layered.
- One of Chablis' most respected domaines, with roots going back to 1959.
- Vineyards planted on Kimmeridgian limestone, the ancient seabed soils that give Chablis its signature character: that unmistakable combination of oyster shell, wet flint, and bracing mineral tension that no other region on earth can replicate.
- An entry point into the Fèvre range and it delivers everything a Chablis promises — lemon zest, green apple, and a clean, saline finish — unoaked, unadorned, and completely true to place.
- Exceptional with oysters and shellfish, but don't overlook it at the table more broadly: grilled fish, sushi, even a simple roast chicken all find a natural partner here; this is one of the most food-friendly whites in our portfolio.
- A hidden gem from Rully, one of the most underappreciated appellations for white Burgundy — producing Chardonnay with mineral character and Côte de Beaune-like refinement at a fraction of the price. La Chaponnière is among the domaine's finest village-level holdings.
- White fruits and citrus on the nose, and a lovely floral lift that evolves toward orange blossom in the glass. A balanced palate of creamy richness and tangy quince and citrus, with long, mealy flavors through the finish.
- Aged with just 20% new oak, which adds body and roundness without ever dominating the fruit — this is the kind of winemaking restraint that lets the vineyard do the talking.
- Ideal with shellfish, rich fish, or a cream-sauced pasta, and worth having a few bottles in reserve to revisit in two to three years.
- The standout of this year’s Burgundy buying trip. A nine-generation family domaine, with Philippe based in the heart of Meursault — one of Burgundy’s most celebrated white wine villages. This Bourgogne Chardonnay is the entry point to that terroir.
- Fruit drawn from Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet, Auxey-Duresses, and Santenay— a blend that brings Meursault's richness and roundness together with Puligny's finesse and vibrant acidity. A Bourgogne in name only.
- Opens with a delicate floral nose, leading to a balanced, medium-bodied palate where Chardonnay fruit shines cleanly and without distraction — Burgundy in its most honest, approachable form. Bright lemony acidity, a touch of toasted almond, and a freshness that keeps you coming back for another sip.
- Pristine fruit and judicious oak give this so-called entry-level wine the substance to rival many village-level Burgundies. An ideal bottle for introducing someone to white Burgundy for the first time.
