A precise and meticulous worker, Francis Égly is at the top of the Champagne world. With his vineyards magnificently situated in grand cru (pinot noir and chardonnay in Ambonnay, Bouzy and Verzenay) and premier cru (in Vrigny and Bisseuil), he makes wines of prodigious vinosity, intensity and nobility of character, always on the razor's edge between the great ripeness of the grapes and a fine chalky minerality. All his vintages are vinified in wood, without malolactic fermentation. The critics are enthusiastic, such as M. Bettane, who says that "Égly-Ouriet sets the tone for all Champagne viticulture with vintages of staggering depth". Starting with the admirable flagship Brut Grand Cru, barely dosed (1g/l), slender and rich, with hints of iodine accompanying a fine bitterness.

Égly-Ouriet has been rewarded with its fourth star in the Revue du Vin de France's 2025 guide.

Created in 2020, the new cuvée "Les Prémices" is a blend, in equal parts, of chardonnay, pinot meunier and pinot noir. A perfect entry-level wine, fresh and elegant.

The Grand Cru Blanc de Noirs comes from an old Pinot Noir vineyard, planted in 1946. The vines are deeply rooted in the chalk (the locality is called "Les Crayères"), which is only 30 cm above ground level.

A precise and meticulous worker, Francis Égly is at the pinnacle of Champagne. With his vineyards beautifully located in grand cru (Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in Ambonnay, Bouzy, and Verzenay) and premier cru (in Vrigny and Bisseuil) appellations, he produces wines of prodigious vinosity, intensity, and noble character, always walking the fine line between the great maturity of the grapes and a subtle chalky minerality. All of its cuvées are vinified in wood and without malolactic fermentation. Critics are enthusiastic, such as Mr. Bettane: “Égly-Ouriet sets the tone for all Champagne viticulture with wines of sidereal depth.” Égly-Ouriet has been awarded its fourth star in the 2025 guide of the Revue du Vin de France.

Based on Sauvignon (with a hint of Semillon), Caillou Blanc has been presented for 50 years as the archetype of Médoc dry white wine: pale colour, between delicate freshness and aromatic distinction (lemon, bitter orange, honeysuckle), never too full or demonstrative. A model of elegance, never too lavish or ostentatious, and always reasonably priced.

Known for producing a full-bodied, expressive, even exuberant white wine, Larrivet Haut-Brion has gained freshness and tension in recent vintages, thanks to its new vat room incorporating smaller containers (including 20% concrete eggs). Its young director, Charlotte Mignon, has also undertaken a major agroforestry project in the vineyard to promote biodiversity and protect the vines from global warming.

Alongside its famous Sauternes, Suduiraut has been producing a dry white wine for fine dining for 20 years, made from half Sémillon and half Sauvignon (average age of vines 45 years for both grape varieties), aged for 9 months in barrels (12% new). Renamed Suduiraut Vieilles Vignes from 2020 onwards, this cuvée achieves a near-perfect balance between refined fruit (fresh citrus), marked acidity and subtle bitterness on the finish.

Like many wines from the Sauternes region, Climens has been producing a confidential 100% Semillon cuvée since 2022. Pressed without destemming, fermented with natural yeasts, and aged for eight months in glass globes, Lilium captures and blends the mineral tension of Climens' limestone terroir with the richness of Semillon, resulting in a perfectly pure (aged in glass) and fresh aromatic expression. A great dry white wine from southern Gironde is born!

With near-maniacal intransigence at every stage of its development, the Bonnie family delights us with each vintage with its white wine, very Sauvignon (80 to 90%), combining energy, supreme finesse and exemplary straightness.

Mr Derenoncourt, Bordeaux's most sought-after consultant, is also a producer. Obviously, he (with his wife) applies in his vineyards the methods that have made his success: respect for the terroir and biotope, subtle vinification and maturation, wines of great aromatic precision.

Prieuré-Lichine's second wine, with a high proportion of Merlot (80%) to promote roundness and richness. Its vibrant fruitiness is enhanced by discreet ageing (no new wood, 60% second-use barrels). In short, everything you would expect from a modern second wine: a seductive profile for immediate enjoyment, but with enough substance to last at least 10 years.

With a higher proportion of Merlot (60%), La Dame de Montrose offers a fruity, fleshy version of Saint-Estèphe, without losing the richness and power for which the Grand Vin is renowned. Another expression of terroir, in a seductive style all its own.

Troplong-Mondot and its formidable terroir dominate Saint-Émilion both literally (the commune's water tower adjoins the winery) and figuratively. Led by Aymeric de Gironde (formerly of Pichon-Baron and Cos d'Estournel) and benefiting from generous investment from reinsurer SCOR since 2016, Troplong-Mondot shines brightly, producing wines that are consistently fresh, flavourful and refined despite their high concentration.

A leader in the Marsannay appellation, the Domaine Fournier offers wine lovers a rare opportunity to purchase fine Pinot Noir wines from the northern Côte de Nuits at reasonable prices. With 21 hectares, including 17 hectares in Marsannay, this estate produces exciting wines with deep colour, full-bodied and intense, always balancing richness and freshness, indulgence and finesse.

Awarded one star in the Revue du Vin de France guide and listed among the properties to watch in the Bettane & Desseauve guide: ‘Laurent Fournier, with his humour, intelligence and delicacy, is one of the most brilliant talents of the new Burgundian generation.’

Le Chapitre, the latest addition to the range, is his most mineral, chalky and slender cuvée, with very pure violet aromas.

Cyprien Arlaud has awakened this beautiful family estate of 15 hectares between Gevrey, Morey and Chambolle. Its wines, biodynamic since 2010, complete and delicious, have a frankness, a voluptuousness of texture and a rare aromatic elegance. The most recent vintages attest to remarkable progress, this domain clearly aims for excellence. Rated two stars in the guide of La Revue du Vin de France.

With 10 ha in the combe of Pernand-Vergelesses, Domaine Pavelot present the best facet of Burgundy: organic viticulture thought out in the respect of the viticultural tradition (manual harvest in wicker baskets, natural yeasts, vinification 30% to 50% in whole bunches, etc. ) with the tools and achievements of today's oenology (sorting on a vibrating table, precise sulphiting of the harvest, pre-fermentation maceration, etc.) and above all, prices that are the opposite of the prevailing speculation. Their whites and reds are models of style, balance and aromatic purity.

The Revue du Vin de France rightly hails the work accomplished by Luc Pavelot in recent vintages: “All his 2022s are intense, fragrant, with incredible density of fruit. Pure marvels with an exceptional price/pleasure ratio”.

Awarded one star in the 2026 Guide of the Revue du Vin de France.

In 2004, Jean-Michel Chartron gave new impetus to the family domaine, blessed with an extraordinary land heritage (Clos des Chevaliers is the best part of Chevalier-Montrachet, itself considered the best climat in Puligny after Montrachet). The estate's 14.5 hectares have been farmed organically (without certification) ever since.

Mineral, nervous, powerful and long, with a crystalline purity, its wines are among Puligny's finest.

The grandson and son of a winegrower, Christian Terrier established his estate in Clessé in 2009, purchasing 16 hectares of beautiful “cray” terroir (white pebble limestone) that is so favourable for Chardonnay. Together with his daughter Adélie, they favour natural methods (ploughing, organic treatments, etc.) and traditional winemaking techniques (slow fermentation with indigenous yeasts, light filtration, etc.). Their wines are delicious and long-lasting, with an immediate, invigorating and authentic charm.

Made from vines aged 50 years and over, the ‘petit’ Viré-Clessé village is a dynamic white wine, endowed with "a fruity freshness echoed by a very lively, long and balanced palate" according to the Guide Hachette 2025.

Quintessence, aged for 12 months in oak barrels, has extra body and aromas (lemon, quince and honeysuckle), with an elegant hint of acidity on the finish.

It is François Chidaine who, since 1989, has sounded the awakening of Touraine wines and given the white Chenin its letters of nobility. Biodynamic since 1999, his wines show a crystalline purity and a vibrancy that are a reference... with prices that are just as exemplary.

Rated three stars in the Revue du Vin de France guide.

The Vouvray wines of Domaine Chidaine (Les Argiles, Baudoin) are hidden under the appellation Vin de France. They can no longer claim the Vouvray appellation since 2011 because they are vinified at the estate in Montlouis-sur-Loire (i.e. on the other side of the bridge over the Loire) and not in the commune of Vouvray. The INAO has reasons that reason does not know!

A lifelong wine lover, Philippe Guyonnet took the plunge in 2021 by purchasing 9 hectares in Vouvray, on the advice of his friend and mentor Jacky Blot (La Taille aux Loups). With his attention to detail, he immediately opted for organic viticulture, manual harvesting and fermentation with indigenous yeasts in small containers (amphorae and barrels) . From his time in the Mâconnais region, he retains a taste for long ageing (18 to 30 months), which he finishes with bottling without fining or filtration. His Chenin wines, vinified exclusively as dry wines, have a beautiful aromatic richness (chamomile, white peach, vanilla, etc.) and a richness that is perfectly balanced by a lively acidity. 2022 is his first vintage, and already a masterstroke. Everything is in place for this estate to quickly make a name for itself.

Made from vines aged 50 years and older, grown on flinty clay soil, Inspirations (aged for 18 months) is characterised by its finesse and liveliness.
