They’re decidedly old-school in texture, ranging from 11.5% to 12% in alcohol, and sporting a refined daintiness that’s impossible to resist. These wines will arrive as winter turns to spring, and we expect them to suit the warmer weather season perfectly.Thomas’s St-Aubin is a blend of several village level plots, a noticeable step up in complexity. The nose shows gardenia, hints of oak, and white pepper. The mouth is lovely, with a deep savory palate of grapeskin and lemon zest. At 12% alcohol it’s light on its feet, but with gorgeous fruit and a lovely vibrant texture. Less (-) Free US Shipping | |

These wines will arrive as winter turns to spring, and we expect them to suit the warmer weather season perfectly.Thomas also has a plot in Murgers des Dents de Chien, high on the hill overlooking Montrachet. This is real, classy premier cru white Burgundy. The nose is deeper and slightly darker, with a hint more of woodsiness. The mouth is classic, with lemon curd sucrocité and a beautiful beeswax finish, with more flesh around it. Fresh, clean, mineral, the concentration is there but you don’t really see it until you let the wine linger in the mouth. Great result. Less (-) Free US Shipping | |

St-Aubin has become rarer and pricier like everything else in Burgundy, but it’s still far more affordable than its famous neighbors.At the western edge of the St. Aubin appellation lies a plot named “Murgers des Dents de Chiens.” Perched just up the hill from Montrachet itself, this St. Aubin 1er cru is a remarkable value. It’s everything that white Burgundy should be – rich, refreshing, complex, and elegant. Less (-) Free US Shipping | |

Jancis Robinson’s reviewer found “rich, broad fruit with precise, sculpted purity and freshness,” and “well-judged oak.” Less (-) Free US Shipping | |

The terroir shift is real, and this is classic Puligny. The nose is stony and precise with delicate white flowers and spice. The mouth is more refined and very long, with less flesh but more persistence and refinement. Powerful, smooth, deep yet so fresh, very good. Less (-) Free US Shipping | |

Today it’s no longer hidden – many writers put in on par with Chassagne, Puligny and Meursault – but it’s still a gem. For decades our source here has been the Domaine Gérard Thomas, a traditional, family run white Burgundy source with a small collection of excellent terroirs.The Puligny-Montrachet 1er cru “La Garenne” is also especially attractive in this vintage. The balance is just right, with plenty of supporting material and excellent concentration, yet an attractive lift on the palate. A long, refined finish completes the picture. This wine is surprisingly open for a Puligny so close to its bottling Less (-) Free US Shipping | |

The nose is chalky and precise with delicate white flowers and lime zest. The mouth is terrific, an honest, graceful Puligny free to be itself. Less (-) Free US Shipping |
