I really think that the best white wines come from Burgundy. Montrachet are my favorite wines, especially with fish and sushis. Unfortunately, those are expensive. This article will guide you to find cheaper but still complex alternative wines. Here is a preview:

“For me, one of the great white Bordeaux is not even from Graves. It is Chateau Monbousquet, a St.-Emilion whose Grand Cru red brother has built a high reputation all its own since Parisian hypermarket magnate Gerard Perse bought and completely renovated the vineyards in 1993.

I tasted the Monbousquet blanc 2004 by chance recently when I asked Emilie Garvey, sommelier at New York’s SHO Shaun Hergatt restaurant, to choose a good white wine for our dinner.”It is a wine that is extremely allocated and difficult to get,” Garvey said. “It’s certainly not typical of Bordeaux whites, which have a lean, crisp, flinty flavor from the shells in the soil. Monbousquet has a fat, creamy, buttery taste and texture I think is the richest style in the market right now.”
