Just Can’t Get Enough: Under-$20 White Burgundy
Just Can’t Get Enough: Under-$20 White Burgundy
Today’s under-$20 White Burgundy is hands-down one of our top-performers and favorite bargains of the year. The last three vintages have amassed 121 glowing 4- and 5-star reviews from Wine Access clients. The current release 2016 Domaine du Château de Pierreclos Mâcon-Pierreclos is perhaps the most zesty, mineral, and delicious of the past three years — made even more remarkable by Vinous’ report that 2016 Burgundy prices are generally up 50% due to the shortage of grapes. This is an obvious case-buy at $19.99 per bottle. We have 35 cases, offered at the best price in the nation — supposing you can actually find it anywhere else. If you’re a fan of juicy, highly-mineral Chardonnay, your weeknight white Burgundy is calling…don’t miss this out.
The Château de Pierreclos is a historic château located between the Cluny Abbey and the famed Rock of Solutré. Set among the vineyards on a rocky limestone outcropping, the château appears in texts from 1282, when the lord promised his château to the Duke of Burgundy.
A stronghold that has survived more than a few wars, the château sits on 20 acres of vines with an average age of 30 years, half planted to Chardonnay and half to Pinot Noir.
Vines are densely planted, creating competition and leading to naturally low yields and superb concentration. The deep, limestone-rich soil is certified organic and produces wines that are rich and racy on the attack, braced by top-pedigree minerality.
