Domaine de Bel Air - Beaujolais White 2023
With its ripe pear and white flower character, this stands out in the field of white Beaujolais, showcasing a warmer side of the chardonnay grape to the norm. Very good balance of creaminess and fine tannin on the palate. No so long, but smooth at the finish. Drink now 90pts - James Suckling. (2022 review) 100% Chardonnay.
Domaine du Trapadis - Cote du Rhone White "La P'tite Cote" 2022
