Supermarket has it on sale for 30. Am trying to break into French whites more, should I grab a few bottles at that price?

    Not an especially good price, to be honest.

    Or what Cheech Marin calls “Fussy-Pussy.”

    What kind of white wine do you typically buy?

  4. No-Roof-1628

    There are better Pouilly-Fuissé and other Macon wines, even at this price. However, if this is what’s available to you, pick up a bottle to try—it’s not a bad introduction to the appellation.

    Its a must try zone from a must try producer at a good prize

  6. Jadot basic wines are decent; reliable and pretty cheap. The jadot bourgognes can be found like $12 on sale and represent tremendous value. A pouilly Fuisse at $30 is not a tremendous price for what it is, but for burgundy it’s still in like the bottom ten percentile for price.

    But don’t expect this will be a particularly great wine. It will do the trick. Maybe an 89; but a good wine to try to expand your knowledge.

    Doesn’t seem like an amazing deal to me, but I don’t know where you live and typical pricing there.

    My guess, based on my general and limited knowledge of Jadot, is that it will be “fine.”

    Try a Sancerre. Or Chablis may be closer to godello.

    If it’s the only thing that is available to you then get it

    Albertson’s has it for $28, regular price. I’d assume it’s probably the same at most of the other markets that are part of that chain – Von’s, Safeway, Jewel-Osco, etc.

    Personally, I wouldn’t pay even that much, but I’m not really in love with Maconnais whites, I’m more a Chablis person.

    Not the worst product (very consistent and a good accessible intro to white burgundy) but a terrible price. It’s $25ish by me and I think that is too much.

    I would recommend Albert Bichot, not every bottle they produce is amazing but an overwhelming majority of their portfolio is a solid value.
