Maison Louis Jadot, Bourgogne Blanc (Burgundy, France) Chardonnay 2013

($16, Kobrand Wine And Spirits):
It’s no surprise that Louis Jadot, one of Burgundy’s top producers, makes a fine “simple” Bourgogne Blanc. A blend of Chardonnay grown in the Côte d’Or, the Côte Chalonnaise and the Macon, it’s not so simple and is a great value. Though Chardonnay is plastered prominently on the label, this is not an opulent New World example. Rather it’s honest Burgundy, combining restrained fruitiness with vibrant acidity.
