Domaine Thibert Père & Fils — Fuissé
Christophe Thibert and his sister Sandrine are now at the helm of this venerable 60 acre estate in the Mâconnais. The Mâcon region is home to some of the greatest-value white wine appellations in all of Burgundy, and the Thiberts have extensive holdings in St. Veran, Mâcon, and Pouilly-Fuissé, including some old-vine parcels over 85 years old. The vineyards are now organic, all fruit is picked by hand (not a universal practice in this region), and the wines are hallmarked by their intensity, purity and length. These wines often blow away many Côte de Beaune whites at a fraction of the price.

2007 Macon-Prissé $20 >>
- “Smells of lime, subtly bitter fruit pits, sage, and meatstock, almost like a cross between a Riesling and a Chablis. Well-concentrated on the palate, it offers a fine combination of substantiality with brightness and lift, leading to a long,bright finish. 89WA”
2006 St. Veran Champ Rond $24 >>
- “A gentle touch of wood frames distinctly ripe orchard fruit aromas that introduce round and easy middle weight flavors that are textured, supple and admirably concentrated while culminating in good finishing intensity. This will drink well young. (85-88)/2008+”
