This is Michel's favorite plot. Purchased by his maternal grandparents, the parcel of 12 vinerows was planted by his father in 1927. It adjoins one of the parcels owned by Romanée-Conti. The wine is more masculine in style, with intense, solid, and deeply concentrated character.

100% Chardonnay. Bongran is Thévenet's original home estate (Domaine de Roally, also in Viré-Clessé, was added later). Cuvée Tradition is its single bottling of dry white wine (in certain vintages, a sweet botrytized wine is made). The old vines are organically farmed and harvested manually and...

From a one hectare parcel planted in 1980, just at the border of village level Fixin with a deep limestone soil and marl. It's destemmed and fermented in cement. Aged for 18 months in barrels (no new oak)

100% Aligoté. The De Moors have 2.5 hectares of Aligoté in two parcels in Chitry (down the road from their home village of Courgis—both are near the town of Chablis and part of the Chablis region). They planted the main parcel, whose historical name is Champagne, starting in 1995; the other one,...

This vineyard is just near the winery in Morey-Saint-Denis and was planted in 1925. It's a very rocky soil with limestone from the Jurassic period. Castagnier says that everyone associates Morey with red wines, but the stoney soil is great for whites. 

2018 was a warm year, but aligoté takes heat really well. It reaches full maturity at 11.5% - 12% potential alcohol. You don't necessarily feel that 2018 was a warm year when you taste this wine. Chevrot's aligoté comes from four parcels planted in 1970 and 1984. Two parcels have a gravel terroir...

From 85-year-old vines; a high proportion of old selection of golden aligoté contributes a richness and power to this wine, leaving a mineral finish. It is great young—as is typical of the variety—displaying notes of citrus and exotic fruits, but with a few years it evolves more complex aromas of...

From two parcels, one near Meursault and the other near Puligny-Montrachet. Aged for 12 months in barrel and 7 months in tank before bottling.

The domaine does not grow Chardonnay, so they purchase grapes for this wine from the Ravry climat in Fixin. This wine is fresh and crisp as a result of fermenting the juice predominantly in stainless steel tanks, with a small percentage fermented in barrels for complexity and mouthfeel. These vines...

From a 1.6 hectare parcel named Concoeur, on the plateau between Vosne-Romanée and Nuits-Saint-Georges. Planted by grandfather 60 years ago.  Fully destemmed. Fermented in cement and aged in foudres for 14 months total.  

6/750 Located on a hill facing south at about 350 meters in altitude, the vines cover the slope of a valley cutting into a plateau of Jurassic limestone, to the west of the “Côte”. The substrate is identical to that of the Côte, but the superficial formations are thin, or even non-existent; the...

From a single 60 year-old parcel in Morey-Saint-Denis, coplanted with 2/3 Pinot Noir and 1/3 Gamay.

From a small vineyard (20 acres) over 60 years old, planted on heavy clay-loam soil in the lower Vosne-Romanée commune, bordering Nuits-Saint-Georges.    

From vines in the Chassagne area (classified Bourgogne). Aged in neutral barrels. Very juicy and fresh.

From a south-facing single-vineyard in the commune of Vaulicheres, east of Chablis. Two thirds of the fruit is barrel-fermented and aged, the remaining fruit is in tank.

An exceptional village-level Chablis with three-fourths of the fruit coming from the famous “Les Pargues” vineyard in Prehy and the balance comes from a village-level vineyard located just next to Montee de Tonnerre.  

Domaine de la Boissonneuse is a single holding of 11 hectares. The parcel is on a hillside beside the village of Préhy and contains kimmeridgian soil of exceptionally high quality, with very fine minerals.The 30 year-old vines grow on interspersed layers of limestone and clay, brimming with fossils...

From the Les Pargues vineyard in the valley between the 1er Cru Montmains hill and 1er Cru Vaillons hill; this is considered a top site by the monks. Piuze treats this wine like his 1er or Grand Cru sites and vinifies and ages this wine in neutral oak.

From two parcels, both north-facing, very near to 1er Cru Montmains. It’s fresh and rich on the palate with an herbal finish. Fermented and aged in tank.

Chichée is on a plateau near the 1er Cru Vaucoupin vineyard. Vinified and aged in tank. Savory, taut, and mineral.
