Cult White Burgundy:
2024 Bernard-Bonin Meursault Narvaux Dessous & Meursault Les Tillets

The style of the Bernard-Bonin wines is difficult not to be impressed by and equally hard not to really enjoy. They are nervy, soaring, intricately complicated, and simultaneously rich and enveloping.

Grand Cru In All But Name:
2013 Chevillon Nuits-St-George 1er Cru Les St. Georges
