Sometimes the safe bet is the smart bet. Louis Jadot has been a Beaune institution since 1859, and their Bourgogne Blanc is the everyday Chardonnay that reminds you why the world copied Burgundy in the first place. It’s dry, medium-bodied and cleanly made, with orchard fruit and citrus and a chalky finish rather than a wall of oak. Nothing here is trying to impress you, which is precisely the appeal. Keep a couple in the fridge for the nights when you don’t want to make a decision.
