Bourgogne Blanc
Mâconnais &
Bourgogne
Worth trying here are the
Mâcon-Villages
from the Domaine de la Belouse and
Beaujolais Blanc from Château de Pizay -
both
delicious lemon-fresh Chardonnays
though the Beaujolais
has a richer finish. We
have a superb Pouilly-Fuissé
of real
elegance and complexity from Domaine Saumaise
- highly rated
by Jane MacQuitty
- that has
a classic
mineral nose with wonderful underpinning honeysuckle.

Samuel Billaud
has propelled this domaine to
the
forefront of Chablis production. Huge investment in a new winery,
coupled
with some of the oldest and best-sited parcels of Chablis,
Chablis 1er Cru and
Chablis Grand Cru vineyards has resulted in a
surge of quality since Samuel took
over the wine making in 1992.
Today, low yields as a result of strict winter
pruning and
ébourgeonnage
each spring give an
intensity to their wines rarely found in Chablis.

Côte Chalonnaise
A delightful wine here from
Château de la Saule, owned by
Alain Roy,
that displays the classic minerality, combined with the citrus zest
that
epitomises top quality white burgundy. The voluptuous
Rully ‘Gresigny’
from Michel Briday is the match of many a top Côte d’Or white.

Bouzereau's Mersault is benchmark white

finesse: a wine for drinking young that will also age.
