($23, Frederick Wildman and Sons, Ltd.): Need more evidence that the 2014 white Burgundies are terrific?  Here, at the bottom of the Burgundy prestige ladder — Bourgogne Blanc — is a great bargain.  Wines labeled Bourgogne Blanc can come from grapes — always Chardonnay — grown anywhere in Burgundy, from Chablis in the north to the Mâconnais in the south.  Even this lowly appellation succeeded in 2014, especially when produced by an excellent négociant, such as Olivier Leflaive.  A subtle creaminess offsets the bright and vivid apple-like fruit in this wine.  Drink now and during the summer.
