Bourgogne Blanc Shouldn’t Be This Good

A hush came over the room when the golden-hued Jean de la Vigne filled our glasses. In our anticipation, we swore we could almost see the fine lines of Meyer lemon, crisp apple, and white flower blossom drawn by the impeccable hand of one of Burgundy’s greatest winemakers. 

With one swirl the nose brought us that much closer to the ripe citrus and orchard fruits dotted with chalky limestone and a tinge of Mediterranean herbs. The chiseled palate completed the picture with striking, silky clarity. 

What made the experience all the more profound was that we had just finished tasting through a colossal lineup of village-level and Premier Cru Chardonnays from places like Puligny-Montrachet and Meursault—and here we were, floored by a Bourgogne Blanc. 

Of course, this is no average Bourgogne. This is Christophe Cordier’s Bourgogne—the guy Wine Spectator called a “miracle worker,” and Robert Parker called a “hero.” 

From a single ten-acre parcel in the village of Leyens, the 2018 Jean de la Vigne delivers all you could ask for in top-tier White Burgundy—spirited elegance, laser-like focus, nuanced complexity—and when you consider the price, “miracle” isn’t that far fetched. Our 400 bottles are the only ones in the country, and they won’t last… because Cordier has an army of fervent supporters. 

Headquartered in Pouilly-Fuissé, third-generation winemaker Christophe Cordier is one of the storied producers who have given this region in southern Burgundy its reputation as an affordable alternative to the wallet-busting Côte de Beaune. 

The 2018 Jean de la Vigne is a prime example. Its beautiful mineral purity is derived from Cordier’s meticulous approach, which begins with biodynamic farming and hand-harvesting in the vineyard. In the cellar, Cordier fermented the 2018 using only indigenous yeasts, and aged it on the lees to bring out a hint of nutty complexity, finally bottling it unfined and unfiltered—a true terroir-driven masterpiece. 

Not only is this what the best of the Mâcon tastes like, this is what the best of White Burgundy tastes like.
