Would have been better stated that I’m now in the hunt for better value producers. I can’t say that I’ve found great replacements for guy like Mugnier and Rousseau but, I am finding great Chablis producers like JP Grossot and Garnier to replace Dauvissat. I’m really enjoying exploring 1er Cru and AOC Chablis from producers I’ve never heard of before. The quality of AOC and 1er Cru Chablis is very impressive for the pricing. Its fun to see what others are holding to see what producers I’ve been overlooking.
Carillon ~ 30%
Hudelot Noellat ~ 13%
Rousseau ~ 7%
and then a cluster of around 5% each: H Boillot, Sauzet, Roulot, Fevre, below that pretty much meaningless to distinguish.

That’s total purchase over the years as I don’t keep track of what I drink…
I love white Burgundy, but I cannot imagine having more whites than red, esp. in today’s world. Most of my reds will age a long time and so I have a lot of reds to age and hopefully drink when the wines are mature. With whites, I am nervous about the ones I have and sometimes think I should only buy enough to drink over the next year or two and should have less in the cellar (does not mean I should drink less, just buy for immediate consumption).
I was not questioning your decision, just asking who you are buying. For me, the best value producers I have been buying have been Chandon de Briailles, Dublere and Jadot.

Early on I had more white for sure and have always been a huge white fan. When I realized how long it takes most red Burgs to show their stuff I started backfilling reds even more. Right now I have 260 reds and 141 whites.
