White burgundies range in style from the tight flintiness of Chablis through the broad butteriness of Mâcon to the sheer exotic power of a great Puligny-Montrachet or Meursault. What unites them of course is that all these wines are made from Chardonnay, that ubiquitous and for some infamous grape that fills a slot in almost all New World producers’ ranges. White burgundy however has a balance and complexity that is only found in the very, very best of its pretenders. From the less well known villages of the Côte de Beaune - Saint-Romain, Auxey-Duresses, Saint-Aubin and Pernand-Vergelesses - try the wines of Prudhon, Michel Prunier, Alain Gras and the Rollins. Just south is Paul Jacqueson of Rully in the Côte Chalonnaise as well as the Cave de Buxy. The Mâconnais encompasses Pouilly Fuissé, Saint-Véran, Vergisson and Clessé amongst other villages and superb growers such as the Vincents at Château de Fuissé, Guillemot-Michel, Guerrin and Collovray & Terrier. In Chablis it’s hard to find a better range than Dauvissat-Camus (Vincent Dauvissat), Moreau-Naudet, Daniel-Etienne Defaix, and Valery from Jean Durup. In Puligny-Montrachet, Chassagne-Montrachet and Meursault we maintain good relationships with Etienne Sauzet, Henri Germain, Comtes Lafon, Vincent Girardin, Moret-Nominée, Louis Latour, Domaine Leflaive, Buisson-Charles and Paul Pillot. We normally have stocks of rare Corton-Charlemagne from Chandon de Briailles, Rollin and Bonneau du Martray.
