Francois de Nicolay
Coteaux de Champlitte Chardonnay 2018
Surprising négoce wine by François de Nicolay of Chandon de Briailles, one of our favorite producers in Savigny-les-Beaune/Corton. This is 100% Chardonnay sourced from organic/biodynamic vineyards in the Coteaux de Champlitte, a little known appellation north of Jura, in the in the Franche-Comté department. Expressive nose. Vibrant, lovely nose of crisp green apple. Fresh, medium-bodied, mineral, great texture, good acidity — a year ago

Creamy texture (lightly oaked?). Crisp acidity. — a year ago
Domaine William Fèvre
Champs Royaux Chablis Chardonnay 2020
Pale lemon in color, swirling the glass reveals fresh aromas of lemon, green apple, pastry and a dash of almonds. Medium bodied, the 2020 Chablis Champs Royaux is a snappy little Chablis balanced by a lively acidity. The medium finish confirms a wine of good quality. I'm glad to see that this négoce wine from Fèvre has improved over recent years. Drink now until 2026 — 2 years ago

Petit-Roy
Les Boutieres Bourgogne Chardonnay 2020
Excellent white Burgundy from up-and-coming micro-négoce by Japanese expat Seiichi Saito. This comes from Saito’s own tiny 0.1 hectare plot in the Boutières lieu-dit in Savigny-les-Beaune, farmed biodynamically. Fermented with indigenous yeasts. Aged in neutral oak for about 11 months. Unfiltered, unfined. Lively nose with aromas of Meyer lemon, yellow apple, pear and apricot. Medium-bodied, textured, mineral. Lots of green apple in the palate. Delicious 😋 — 2 years ago
