MAISON ADVINAM - BOUFFONNE 2020

Juicy and velvety hermitage cuvée. Rambling scents of dark, brambly berries, aniseed, garrigue and bouquet garni. Lovely, warm kitchen compote cooking scents. Dark berry flavours, authority of sinewy, fresh tannins apparent, succulent, long and fine finish. Feels fancy but unadorned where fruit does the work over winemaking.

FABRICE DODANE (SAINT-PIERRE) - VDF "G.G" 2023

The finesse and delicacy is immediately noticeable, light fruity and delicate, with soft berry fruit and filigree spice, the GG is downright dancing and animating, crystal clear and vibrant, no kitsch, pure juiciness and berry delight.

"Octopus 2023 opens the tasting with a perfectly dry Chenin that nevertheless offers a lot of sweetness, both free of tone and precise." - 90 points, Revue de Vin du France.

GAVOTY - ROSE CUVEE "CLARENDON" 2022

Pale pink hue, with a subtle nose of rose and white-fleshed fruit. On the palate, fat and volume support the fresh fruit with refinement.

TABORDET - POUILLY-FUME "PETITES AUBUES" 2022

Under its pale gold colour, it reveals the richness of the aromas characteristic of its appellation.
