Burgundy White

White Burgundy is Chardonnay with its accent intact — flinty in Chablis, hazelnut-rich in Meursault, chiselled in Puligny-Montrachet, generous in the Maconnais. Our white Burgundy shelf covers every register, from Petit Chablis for Tuesday oysters to grand cru Corton-Charlemagne for the cellar.

Producer is everything here, and the names run serious: Domaine Leflaive, William Fevre, Olivier Leflaive, Benjamin Leroux, Chateau de Fuisse, Domaine de Villaine. The Maconnais and Chalonnaise entries — Rully, Montagny, Vire-Clesse, Pouilly-Fuisse — are where smart money drinks white Burgundy without premier cru pricing.

Drinking windows matter more with white Burgundy than almost any wine we sell. The Maconnais and Chalonnaise wines shine young; village Meursault and Puligny hit stride at three to six years; premier and grand crus reward patience beyond that. We keep multiple vintages on the shelf precisely so you can buy the wine at the age you want to drink it.

These wines love food: roast chicken, scallops, soft cheese, anything in butter. Order online with Australia-wide shipping, or ask in-store at Chadstone which village suits your table and your budget.
