2022 Dominique Gruhier, Tonnere Blanc

Bright, exuberant, and oh-so-delicious—2022 Dominique Gruhier Tonnerre Blanc is Burgundy’s best-kept secret from just northeast of Chablis. Certified organic and fermented in native-yeast stainless steel and oak, it delights with pineapple, exotic fruit salad, citrus zest, and a hint of vanilla. On the palate, it’s rich yet saline, supple but fresh—a charming balance of texture and minerality. From steep, kimmeridgian fossil-rich slopes and biodynamically tended vineyards, this elegant Chardonnay showcases purity, precision, and Burgundian coolness—all for under $30.
