Jura
Stéphane Tissot
David Schildknecht wrote, "Stephane Tissot’s sparkling cuvees of Chardonnay and Pinot remain among the finest traditional method sparklers for the money grown anywhere in the world," and the Revue du Vin de France noted, "Everything is handled with virtuosity, finesse, and total respect for the fruit ...The health of the domaine and the rigor of the work places it at the summit of the production of the region.”

The Wine Advocate described these wines as a "stunning value" and David Schildknecht wrote, "These constitute as a group the most fascinatingly delicious Jacquere-based wines of my rather long experience with this varietal."

Champagne
La Closerie (Jérôme Prévost)
Antonio Galloni called this champagne "the ultimate expression of Champagne as wine."
Champagne Roses de Jeanne
Galloni commented, "These remain some of the most spectacular wines being made anywhere in the world, and are well worth the effort of finding them. Frankly, I can't think of too many wines I would rather drink."
Champagne Bénoit Déhu
Galloni wrote in the December 2017 issue of Vinous , "Benoit Déhu's NV Extra Brut La Rue des Noyers has established itself as one of the most compelling wines in Champagne since it was first released with the 2011 vintage."
As well as, for the moment, less well-known domaines such as Champagne Guiborat about whom Brad Baker, The Champagne Warrior, wrote in the June 2014 issue, "Richard and Karine Foquet have injected a giant dose of awesome into the family's wares ... I find [the wines] impossible not to love ... the prices are ridiculous for the quality and I have a feeling this will change soon."

Loire
Thibaud Boudignon
Of these wines Michel Bettane declared, "[these] should be in the cellar of all connoisseurs of great dry chenins. The three wines of Boudignon were the best dry chenins that I tasted at the Salon of Angers, we are at the level of 1er Cru and Grand Cru Burgundy."
Domaine du Collier
At this vineyard, Antoine Foucault, son of Charlie Foucault of Clos Rougeard, is producing great whites and reds. The 2010 Charpentrie blanc was described by Le Rouge & Le Blanc as the 2nd best wine of their tasting just behind the Clos Rougeard and noted that "The majority of tasters delighted in the power, mineral and aerian character of this great chenin."
Gérard Boulay in Chavignol
About this wine John Gillman in A View from the Cellar wrote, "Gérard Boulay is clearly one of the finest vignerons in all of Sancerre these days ... year in and year out, his lineup of stellar Sancerre bottlings are amongst the highlights of all the wines I taste for this annual report."

Burgundy
Domaine Pattes Loup (Thomas Pico)
Antonio Galloni commented that it is "arguably the single most exciting young domaine in Chablis today ... these are some of the most ground-breaking, intensely captivating wines being made in Chablis today. Readers should do whatever they can to taste them."

Beaujolais
Jean-Marc Burgaud
These wines were described by Michel Bettane as, "part of the young generation which contributes to the dynamism of Morgon." David Schildknecht said that Jean-Marc is, "as usual brimming with ideas about how he is going to make what are among his region’s handful of most exciting wines even better" and Josh Raynolds remarked in Vinous "Burgaud is a serious player in the region ... and he has few peers when it comes to value"

Rhône Valley
Cédric Parpette
These grapes used to be a component of Guigal’s La Turque until he began vinifying and bottling his own wine in 2006 and received a Coup de Coeur from the Guide Hachette, which described this as a "vin rare" and said, "Already remarkable, this bottle will improve over the next two or three years and can keep for ten years. A domaine to watch. Coup de Cœur."
Vincent Paris
Robert Parker observed, "He fashions three remarkable cuvees, the Granite 30, Granite 60 Vieilles Vignes, and an offering from the well-known parcel of La Geynale."
Domaine d’Ourea
A newer property described by the Revue du Vin de France as a "talented vigneron ... full of promise." Jancis Robinson described the 2011 Vacqueyras as, "Big – very big for its boots." Terre de Vins listed the domaine as one of its "Coup de Coeurs" at Découvertes en Vallée du Rhone 2013, calling it "dynamique ... an Eveready battery" and described the Vaqueyras and Gigondas as "fresh, fruity and structured ... a great future for the domaine."
Domaine Jean Royer
Josh Raynolds (Vinous December 2016) noted, “Always among the most elegant examples of Châteauneuf-du-Pape…these are Châteauneufs for Burgundy lovers”.

Languedoc
Domaine Coston
Described by David Schildknecht as, "one of this justly-renowned sector’s most exciting if as yet largely unheralded source of excellence as well as of exceptional value. The fifth generation took over this estate in 1999 ... and in multiple respects one can safely predict that the best from Domaine Coston is yet to come."

Others
Finally, a small selection of growers in Spain such as Mata I Coloma of whose cavas Cédric Bouchard remarked, "these could hold their own in a tasting with champagnes.", and in Switzerland, growers such as Marie-Thérèse Chappaz, known as "the Queen of the Valais", and whose Petite Arvines Olivier Poussier declared "worthy of the greatest white wines of Europe."
