Château de Dracy Bourgogne Blanc 2018

In the last few years, the noble house of Albert Bichot has won much praise for its fine red and white Burgundies – challenging famous rivals for quality, and winning hands-down on price. In 2013, they were awarded White Wine Producer of the Year at the important International Wine Challenge. And The Wine Advocate writes that “they are making extremely fine wines.”

So you can imagine our excitement when they gave us a U.S. exclusive from the excellent 2018 vintage. It hails from Château de Dracy, which traces its history all the way back to 1298. Even cooler than that: the estate’s vineyards are a Monopole – fully controlled by the château (rare in Burgundy) and lie in the Côte de Beaune town of Couches. Amazingly, the estate has collaborated with house of Albert Bichot for the last 110 years, with great success.

This Bourgogne Blanc brims with layers of citrus and yellow apple. Also look for subtle floral notes and a hint of toasty vanilla on the long finish. This is a classy dinner white that will pair well with seafood and white meat dishes – though it’s equally delicious on its own.
