Burgundy
is France's most terroir-focused region, with strict rules on bottle
labeling according to soil and climactic conditions. This is a chance to
taste great Burgundy from three of the region's best value
appellations.
2011 Henri Perrusset Mâcon-Villages Chardonnay, Bourgogne, France
On Sale $16.99
The Mâcon-Villages is a custom blend of all Perrusset's holdings around Farges. This is a Chardonnay with the ripeness and intensity level of a Pouilly-Fuissé or even a Saint-Aubin, with the particular goût de terroir of Henri's corner of Mâcon.

2011 Domaine Perraud Mâcon-Villages, Maconnais, France
On Sale $16.99
Zip and zest and a deliriously saturated mouthful of pure citrus and white fruit-this lively, diamond-cut white Burgundy is for us not only an amazing value in white Burgundy but also it is a stunning example of how character-driven and and cut whites from the Maconnais are.

2010 Samuel Billaud Chablis
On Sale $24.99
The 2010 Chablis is all about crystalline purity, depth and nuance. Lemon, white flowers, slate and crushed rocks all meld together in the glass. The 2010 impresses for its fabulous balance and impeccable finish. This a striking wine within its peer group. Anticipated maturity: 2012+.

2010 Billaud Simon Chablis 1er Cru Mont de Milieu
On Sale $44.99
Things take a more serious turn with the 2010 Chablis Mont de Milieu, which is a major step up from the preceding premier crus. Fruit, structure and acidity are all deftly balanced in this harmonious, impeccable wine. I especially like the level of nuance and pure delineation in the glass. A round, textured finish rounds things out in style. Here again, the seemingly opposite, contradictory qualities of the vintage are both on display. The Mont de Milieu is at once approachable yet taut. I find the combination utterly irresistible. Anticipated maturity: 2013+.

2010 Burgaud Morgon Cote de Py
On Sale $19.99
Bright purple. Pungent aromas of dark berry skin, cherry compote, licorice and minerals, with subtle spiciness adding lift. Firm and chewy on entry, then fleshier in the middle, offering bitter cherry and licorice pastille flavors braced by juicy acidity. Shows a promising blend of rich fruit and structure and finishes with very good energy and lingering minerality.

2009 Passot les Rampaux Fleurie Vieilles Vignes
On Sale $19.99
Dark purple. Red and dark berry preserve aromas are complemented by notes of sassafras, violet and spicecake. Black raspberry and bitter cherry flavors stain the palate, picking up a spicy quality with air along with a note of candied flowers. Finishes brisk and fresh, with a persistent note of candied flowers. All of these wines are made with indigenous yeasts.
