($16, Dreyfus, Ashby & Co.): Véronique Drouhin explained that they have always purchased grapes from a variety of growers who have holdings in Les Crays, but this is the first year they decided to put the name of that lieu-dit (vineyard) on the label. I suspect the alluring hint of creaminess comes from Drouhin’s decision to ferment and age a small portion of the wine in 500-liters barrels. Its appealing delicacy and verve is the hallmark Drouhin style. Don’t miss this well-price white Burgundy.
