Grand Cru White Burgundy from Leflaive, Colin-Morey & More
The white grand cru vineyards of Burgundy produce some of the world's most age-worthy, regal and sublime wines. Stock your cellar today and select wines from our expansive list of Burgundy's finest producers including Leflaive, Lafon, Sauzet and Colin-Morey.

Because the distinctive character of Burgundy is so closely tied to the terroir, we have assembled a quick reference guide to help you maneuver Burgundy's white grand cru sites:
  • Montrachet - Considered one of the greatest dry white wines in the world and surrounded by four other Grand Cru vineyards with "Montrachet" as part of their names. Rich, luscious wines that, although dry, possess a sublime sweet, honeyed fruit character. Often requires at least ten years of aging.
  • Chevalier Montrachet - Situated to the west of Montrachet and has the highest elevation of the Montrachet vineyards. The thin, stony and chalky soils create wines that are intense, spicy and elegant.
  • Batard-Montrachet - Located to the east of Montrachet, these are rich, heady wines where the best examples display honeyed aromas, have concentrated flavors with lots of fruit, and deserve eight to ten years of aging.
  • Criots-Batard-Montrachet - The smallest of the Montrachets. Flavor and texture profiles are very similar, but slightly lighter than the neighboring Batard Montrachet.
  • Bienvenues-Batard-Montrachet - The lowest elevation of the Montrachets. The Bienvenues vineyard sits on soils that are deeper and more fertile than the higher up sites and so produce wines that are heavier and richer.
  • Corton-Charlemagne - In its youth, this Grand Cru often displays citrus, green apple and spice flavors, steely minerality and powerful acid spine. The best examples need at least six to eight years of aging in bottle.
