Alice et Olivier de Moor Bourgogne Chitry, Burgundy, France

Sporting a nose reminiscent of a ripe Riesling from Alsace, the 2000 Bourgogne-Chitry offers sweet herbal tea aromas. Broad, velvety-textured, and medium-bodied, this delicious, smoked mineral and spiced apple-flavored wine has a surprisingly long finish. It is flavorful, boasts a terrific mouth-feel, and delivers more bang for the buck than any white Burgundy I’ve encountered in 7 years with The Wine Advocate. This shockingly good value should be drunk over the next 2-3 years. The de Moors are the Jean-Marc Joblot of the Chablisien: Producers whose wines far exceed the expectations given the supposed potential of their terroirs. God only knows what they’d be capable of if they owned parcels in Chablis’s famed grand crus. These are the finest values I’ve encountered from Burgundy in ages! Alice and Olivier de Moor are a dying breed, vignerons in the Chablisien who cut no corners. Yields are kept moderate, harvests are performed by human beings (as opposed to machines, the norm in Chablis), grapes are sorted, only indigenous yeasts are employed, the wines are fermented as well as aged in used barrels, and they are neither fined nor filtered prior to bottling. The de Moors’s dedication and conscientious work ethic, when combined with a great vintage (as was 2000 in Chablis), brings about results such as these.
