Finessed Blancs - White Wine Pack
DOMAINE AUSTRAL - SAUMUR BLANC "AMANDIERS" 2021
A superb tense and slender Chenin, with lemony, floral aromas and crazy energy. Both fine and very strong, it is one of those chenins carried by a beautiful salivating acidity which gives them a very long finish. A gastronomic wine capable of withstanding long years of cellaring. Chenin Blanc.
DOMAINE DE BEL-AIR - BEAUJOLAIS WHITE 2023
The bouquet opens up with white orchard, fresh white peach, citrus notes and light butter flavours. On the palate, the attack is round and charming with plenty of freshness to lift up all these aromas. Drink now. 100% Chardonnay.
ROUGEOT-DUPIN - MONTAGNY 1ER CRU 2019
The first nose is powerful with notes of brioche, fresh oak, and vanilla. The underlying white peach and citrus notes are refreshing a beautifully rich and comforting wine. On the palate, the medium bodied Montagny 1er cru is showcasing its pedigree with ease. It’s a long and rich finish, with enough minerality to bring a tasty finesse. 100% Chardonnay.
DOMAINE REGIS MINET - POUILLY-FUME "VIELLES VIGNES" 2022
This wine is showing spectacular fresh flavours of apple, blackcurrant bud, kiwi and subtle wet stone. On the palate the aromatic explodes with numerous layers of fruits driven by a mouth-watering acidity. It is perfect to drink now. Sauvignon Blanc.
DOMAINE LE BOUCHOT - POUILLY FUME "TERRES BLANCHES" 2021
The 2020 Pouilly-Fume Terres Blanches was bottled a week before tasting, so it might need to be revisited to give it a fair shot, but even at this early stage, this mid-weight style is clearly balanced with masses of refreshment. Partial malo has lent additional softness to the palate, which is reminiscent of pear fruit and a whiff of white pepper. Excellent structural tension on the finish. This is one to watch. 91-93 points, Rebecca Gibb - Vinous. 100% Sauvignon Blanc.
DOMAINE SPARR - RIESLING "SENTIMENT" 2021
Full of very ripe citrus (including pomelo and bergamot) and pineapple. This is a generous and beautifully proportioned Alsace dry riesling with a wonderful balance of depth and freshness. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink or hold. 92 points, James Suckling.. 100% Riesling.
