Is there value in Burgundy? Moillard Macon-Villages 2022

Image ~ January 28, 2025January 28, 2025 ~ Zoltán Németi
This is how cheap white Burgundy looks like in 2025: 15 Euros. It’s not a bad wine at all, but it’s so overpriced. There are just tons of more complex and more interesting white wines out there for less.

Cheap white burgundy: Famille Perrachon Bourgogne blanc 2022

Image ~ April 18, 2024 ~ Zoltán Németi

Continuing with exploring easily available and affordable white burgundies, the next bottle is from Famille Perrachon. Compared to the previous one, the Cave de Viré VV, this is not a Macon but a straight Bourgogne, for the same price basically and from the same vintage. A clear step up in quality.

Cheap white Burgundy: Cave de Viré Macon Villages Vieilles Vignes 2022

Image ~ March 15, 2024March 15, 2024 ~ Zoltán Németi

Cheap for a Burgundy, that is. Prices of the region increased significantly in recent years – this costs 12,97€ and you won’t find many anymore below this price tag. And it’s just a plain white Macon… Continue reading →

An entry level Hungarian chardonnay that delivers in most vintages, and the 2022 is a pleasant wine again. Continue reading →

Time travelling – Montes Chardonnay Reserva 2020, Chile

Image ~ August 2, 2022 ~ Zoltán Németi
Haven’t had a Chilean white for a while and spot this in a local shop recently. If you hope that the style has change in the last decade, well, you will be disappointed.

Chablis Grand Cru that lives up to the name – Domaine Christian Moreau Les Clos 2014

Image ~ February 13, 2022 ~ Zoltán Németi

If you saw my previous post I’m sure it’s the third bottle on the photo which got your attention (same photo is featured here). A Les Clos Grand Cru Chablis – a rare treat for most of us, and it’s not just getting crazy expensive but it’s not even easy to find. Continue reading →

Demorgenzon Chardonnay Reserve 2015

Image ~ February 3, 2022 ~ Zoltán Németi ~ 1 Comment

From the same occasion as the recently posted rieslings (here and here). All three were great, but let’s pick the DeMorgenzon now – the producer is one of my favourites from South Africa, but I actually haven’t tasted their reserve chardonnay yet (the basic one is always superb).

A nice Stellenbosch Chardonnay – DeMorgenzon DMZ 2018

Image ~ November 1, 2020 ~ Zoltán Németi

Such an enjoyable and reliable chardonnay. I liked all vintages I’ve tried so far and the 2018 delivers again.

Aussie Chardonnay with an Old World heart – Hoddles Creek Estate Chardonnay 2015, Yarra Valley

Image ~ May 13, 2020May 13, 2020 ~ Zoltán Németi
Such an elegant Aussie Chardonnay that it could come from Burgundy. It represents the more exciting face of Australian wine, the one which is harder to find in Europe.
