Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Bright pale straw in color with hints of gold and a water white rim. Beautifully pure, rich nose of lemon, pear and oatmeal with mineral, quartz, chestnut honey, shortbread and white peach notes. On the palate the wine is full, rich and focused with a firm acidic profile and layered texture. There are stone, mineral and smoke elements, and some nicely rounded citrus notes of lemon and lime zest, along with basil, sea salt, vanilla, butter and shortbread. The finish is long and full, yet still mineral and refreshing.

    A taut, smoky style, with a mix of citrus and mineral flavors along with hazelnut and butterscotch notes. This is racy and builds to a long, spice- and mineral-infused aftertaste. Best from 2018 through 2028.

    Michael Ragg and Fiona Traill-Stevenson left Berry Bros. in London for Burgundy in 2003, starting to make wine under their M&M label the following year. By 2012, they had purchased a parcel in Aloxe-Corton; they produce this Puligny from purchased grapes, the vines averaging 35 years of age. It captures the region’s talents with chardonnay in a wine that smells like a spring meadow, a scent that brings to mind Queen Anne’s lace and chamomile.

One of the most popular and versatile white wine grapes, Chardonnay offers a wide range of flavors and styles depending on where it is grown and how it is made. While it tends to flourish in most environments, Chardonnay from its Burgundian homeland produces some of the most remarkable and longest lived examples. California produces both oaky, buttery styles and leaner, European-inspired wines. Somm Secret—The Burgundian subregion of Chablis, while typically using older oak barrels, produces a bright style similar to the unoaked style. Anyone who doesn't like oaky Chardonnay would likely enjoy Chablis.

A legendary wine region setting the benchmark for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay worldwide, Burgundy is a perennial favorite of many wine lovers. While the concept of ‘terroir’ reigns supreme here—soil type, elevation and angle of each slope—this is a region firmly rooted in tradition. Because of the Napoleonic Code requiring equal distribution of property and land among all heirs, vineyard ownership in Burgundy is extremely fragmented, with some growers responsible for just one or two rows of vines. This system has led to the predominance of the "negociant"—a merchant who purchases fruit from many different growers to vinify and bottle together.

Burgundy’s cool, continental climate and Jurassic limestone soils are perfect for the production of elegant, savory and mineral-driven Chardonnay and Pinot Noir with plenty of acidity. Vintage variation is of particular importance for Burgundy wine, as weather conditions can be variable and unpredictable. In some years spring frost and hail must be overcome.

The Côte d’Or, a long and narrow escarpment, forms the heart of the region, split into the Côte de Nuits to the north and the Côte de Beaune to the south. The former is home to many of the world’s finest Pinot Noir wines, while Chardonnay plays a much more prominent role in the latter, though outstanding red and white Burgundy wines are produced throughout. Other key appellations include the Côte Chalonnaise, home to great value Pinot Noir and sparkling Crémant de Bourgogne. The Mâconnais produces soft and round, value-driven Chardonnay while Chablis, the northernmost region of Burgundy, is a paradise for any lover of bright, acid-driven and often age-worthy versions of the grape.
