About the Wines:

Guiberteau, Saumur Blanc 2020


You’ll like Guiberteau’s style of chenin blanc if you like the crisp, salty side of White Burgundy. These are dry whites with some richness too, and though hard to come by, they’re easy to drink.


Tastes like: Quince, hazelnut, and salt.
How to drink: With seafood like seared scallops, or hearty salads.



François de Nicolay, Ladoix Premier Cru 'Les Gréchons' 2016


This time of year, we think you can never have too much great White Burgundy that you don’t feel guilty opening. François de Nicolay is a new project from one of Burgundy's best growers– Chandon de Briailles– with an emphasis on unknown plots of land of exceptional quality. 2017 was a classic Burgundy vintage and with a few extra years of extra aging, this bottle is in the perfect place now.
