Auxerre was know for local sauvignon, aligote and spaarkling (and at one time some of the most well know of french wines in england) a far cry from a good gigondas,
chablis are in my opinion the best chardonnays produced on the planet the Dauvissat family, Louis Michel, Verget, Rauveneau are work looking for on any wine list but to visit is another story, small domaine very in demand etc
try Louis Michel?? plenty of other good producers and a new book on Chablis (or Cha Bliss as we call it) was finally just released. in the cote d'or red wines are awesome there must be a book on touring Burgundy with some estate's to visit--will prob have to be the big ones?? small domaines we carry avoid people and that only our top customers beaune and dijon are beautiful have great wine shops and restaurants but beware there is a lot of cheap bugundy that is very inferior...do you want a list of the top 25 estates
they will be more expensive but GEN-U-WINE stuff?? call the book store "kitchen arts and letters??" upper lexington for book info...want more info advise me....
