Here are some of the White Burgundies that we think best introduce the Elden Selections palate. We’re not into oaky Chardonnay. We like our whites to be fresh, lively and complex, showing off the diversity of Burgundian minerality

You can taste the ‘terroir’ in Elden Selections White Burgundy, from Chablis, through the Cote de Beaune and onward to the south.

Pure Chardonnay!

INCLUDES 2 BOTTLES OF EACH WHITE WINE PLUS GROUND SHIPPING INCLUDED

Chateau de Chamilly Montagny 1er Cru ‘Les Burnins’ 2016
From the southern reaches of the Cote Chalonnaise, the wines of Montagny are among the best value in White Burgundy. With a unique and dusty minerality that many compare to a suave left-bank Chablis, the wines also profit from their southern position, so ripeness and maturity yield seductive and charming Chardonnay. This premier cru ‘Les Burnins’ has a mineral attack with orange blosson floral notes and spicy round fruit. Rich and smoky, with green apple acidity and a touch of butter. Good long finish carried by the minerality

Elise Villiers Vezelay ‘Le Clos’ 2018
Lively and mineral, like a classy Chablis.  There’s lemon peel and kaffir lime leaf, with chalk underneath and exotic spiciness high on the palate. Rich and tense with a solid core running from attack to a long complex finish.

Domaine Borgeot  Bourgogne 'Clos de la Carbonade' 2018
This single-vineyard Bourgogne ‘Clos de la Carbonade’ is wholly owned by the Borgeots. And the wine they make there is the greatest surprise on our list. It’s a small parcel, located in the village of Bouzeron, the northernmost village of the Cote Chalonnaise. But don’t be fooled by its modest pedigree: the ‘Clos de la Carbonade’ has something special about it. And year after year we see remarkable wines that far outshine appellations much grander than Bourgogne. The Borgeot’s can’t explain it…yet. But there is a geological study underway to see what makes this parcel tick.

Domaine Oudin Chablis 1er Cru ‘Vaugiraut’ 2017
An upper left bank premier cru that sits above the village of Chichée and to the south of Chablis itself, this Oudin Vaugiraut is a moment of pleasure with ripe fruit and gun-flint smoke. It’s floral and stony with a hint of salty sea breeze, pure and powerful and elegant.

Julien Cruchandeau Hautes Cotes de Nuits Blanc 2018
Very low yields for the appellation (30hl/ha).  Raised in 50% steel tank and 50% wood (with 10% new oak in the mix). Orange flower and honey, rich but fresh and open.  Long pleasant floral finish.

Jean Dauvissat Pere et Fils Chablis 2016
Chalky Chablis minerality make you immediately think that this village Chablis comes from vines on the left bank of the Serein. Many of the Dauvissat holdings are there, near Milly, the hamlet at the foot of the Cote de Lechet. Here, deep berry fruit and lemon drop (orange, really) acidity produce a big, concentrated wine which is wide open on the palate, with a long rich finish driven on by that minerality. There’s a new kid on the block!
