Singular wines

To name wines with no peer. Wines that were of exceptional quality, but also wholly different from all the others.

Despite the overexposure, we must cite Anselme Selosse's work, here. It's pretty blinding.

Interesting.

I've had some meh bottles. But my sample is small.

The regular Trousseau was meh, esp. in 2007. Have you had the special one?

RE Gahier, I did say MAY. I've been very impressed so far, but have not yet visited (I will attempt to do so this fall), which always gives a great deal more insight.

Compared to which other producers of similar Jura wines? It would never have occurred to me to single out Gahier.

Different strokes.

Oh, and if singularity is the criterion it's hard to argue with the 100-year tradition of Wincarnis. I would know it anywhere.

Is this even better than Mollydooker Reserve?
I know there not new but Occhipinti's red wines have become my go to light summer reds.

Folks might disagree with some of my choices, but this list will be well known to almost all on this bored:

Overnoy/Houillon Vin Jaune
Overnoy/Houillon Ploussard
Ganevat Vignes des Mon Pere Savagnin

Isn't this just a good knockoff of O/H's similar wine? Not that I don't love them both.

The Ganevat Vignes des Mon Pere is somewhat reminiscent of the couple long-elevage, ouille Savagnins I've had from O/H, but still distinct. At least to me. That said, these wines are damn rare, so it's not like I drink them side by side once a month.

I've only had the 2008 Grands Vergers once, but I thought it was very good. I liked Gahier's Ploussard, too (though again only a single bottle, and I'd have to look up the vintage). Haven't run across the whites.
 
There are very few wines listed thus far which I'd like to drink every day, bearing in mind that I import some of them.

"Better" is a loaded term. I don't think I'm concerned with quality so much as singularity. Although quality can certainly be a factor.

I know what you mean. The Mollydooker reserve is one you only want for special occasions. But the regular for everyday? I mean for you, not me. ;)

Claude's remarks on unusual white Burgundy remind me of one I would also mention: Domaine de la Cadette's Melon de Bourgogne from around Vézelay.

Romorantin meets the Chablisien.

That wine is bangin'! That is, if I understand the term properly.
 
Hey, what about Henry Marionnet's Provignage? That's pretty singular, even if the quality is a little higher than I'm comfortable with in this context.
