+1 on Varner and Mount Eden Estate
I think you forgot to include the nr 1 Chardonnay producer in the world ; d’Auvenay .
I’ll give Moreau a try, thank you Howard.
There are simply too many excellent producers to have a meaningful result. So many names that aren’t on the list of choices (for me, mostly French).
It’s hard to have a meaningful poll these days without Colin-Morey (=PYCM for those who don’t have the decoder ring). And Carillon and Jobard should be on there.
+1 (2 and 3)
Arnaud Ente
Steve Brickley:For price, Fevre but drink young ahead of premox
For value Chablis, there are producers I like more than Fevre like Christian Moreau (I would have also highlighted Moreau-Naudet, but unfortunately Stephane Moreau died last summer).
Moreau is an excellent call. Very weird, but I never had a premoxed Fevre. Luck of the draw, I guess.
If Marcassin is on the lst you may as well include:

I received an email from Total Wine about this today. Who buys this stuff?!
After last night, +1 on Varner.
Without factoring premox into this…my list:
PYCM
Sauzet
Henri Boillot
Droin
Drouhin
Raveneau
Marcassin
Ceritas
Rivers-Marie
Ramey
Montelena
Domaine Mt. Eden
Goodfellow
Crowley
Ramey and Varner.
Good call on the Varner! I recently picked up some Maybach Chardonnay, so I’ll be interested to see how it performs.
I drink more PYCM & Hanzell than almost any producer listed.

I’ve gotta see how horrible that sh*t is. I fully plan on snagging a bottle next time I’m there

You must report back! We need someone to replace Mark B on stuff like this.

Absolutely! Not sure when I’ll get to TW, but probably over the next 2 weeks.

And also get the “Butter” so you can taste it next to “Buttercream”.
Throwing Ganevat into the mix. Any takers?

Wait until “Just Cream” is released.
