Discovery Pack - White
Explore the white wines of France with this exciting set of entertainers wines! From Chardonnay to Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc to Aligote, this pack has it all!
Rougeot-Dupin - Bourgogne Chardonnay 2021
The wine has a subtle nose of white stone fruit, fresh hazelnut, almond and hint of butter. It’s perfect to open when it’s young, in its first one to four years. 100% Chardonnay.
Domaine Austral - Octopus white VDF 2023
"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. Very good success for this chenin bursting with purity and great digestibility. A remarkable balance between roundness and straightness induced by a nice final bitterness! 100% Chenin Blanc.
Domaine Berthier - VDF Instant Sauvignon Blanc 2024
Pale gold coloured, this white sauvignon has typical aromas of white flowers, citrus and exotic fruits. It’s a fresh and fruity wine with floral aromas, and notes of white fruits such as quince and pear. The wine is gentle and supple on entry to the palate and is followed by a refreshing acidity which provides good balance to the overall softness of the wine. 100% Sauvignon Blanc.
Domaine du Trapadis - Cote du Rhone Blanc "Les Plans" 2022
Rare to find a pure version of this vine, here characterized on the nose by aromas of ripe fruit, especially pear, peach and grapefruit peel, surrounded by light aromas of aromatic herbs. On the palate it presents itself as decisive, slim and clean, leaving a deep mineral memory: its authorial signature. 100% Grenache Blanc.
Chateau Grand Village White 2023
Compared to the 2022, the 2023 Grand Village Blanc is more fruity and dense, evoking aromas of lemon oil, verbena, kumquat and confit citrus. Broad but tensile, it’s medium-bodied with a fleshy core of fruit and a delicately phenolic frame that segues into a chalky, saline and bright finish. This blend of 80% Sauvignon and 20% Sémillon is simply stunning. 91-93 points, Yohan Castaing, Wine Advocate. 80% Sauvignon Blanc, 20% Semillon.
Domaine Gavoty - Clarendon white 2021
The Rolle retains a beautiful pale color with a green reflection; the nose of fruits (pear and pineapple) is joined by notes of white flowers and a touch of honey. Its finish is lively and asks to be rounded off on a still timid structure. Prospect of evolution over 10 years. It will take a good two years for it to take on its more mineral and more complex appearance. 100% Rolle.
Samuel Billaud - Bourgogne D'Or 2022
The 2022 Bourgogne d'Or, a blend between Macon Nord and Auxerrois, has a fragrant nose with hints of melted butter and yellow flowers and a touch of vanilla pod in the background. The palate is well-balanced with a pleasant "bite" on the entry, fresh and tangy, with a hint of marmalade on the finish. Neal Martin, Vinous. 100% Chardonnay.
Domaine Rougeot - Bourgogne Aligote "Les Plumes" nature 2022
One new barrel out of 15 barrel, before racking. Mid lemon. Natural nose with a nutty note. Very typical of the grape on the palate with extra energy compared to most practitioners. Ripe citrus, fresh apple, excellent length. 87-89 points - Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy. 100% Aligoté.
Domaine Gauby - Calcinaires white 2023
Nose with notes of grapefruits, plum, orange blossom and honeysuckle. The palate has big volume with sumptuous texture and a refreshing and lingering finish. The first white of the Gauby family, incredible value for money. 50% Grenache Blanc, 20% Macabeu, 30% Chardonnay
Domaine Sparr - Pinot Blanc "Pensee" 2022
Expressive nose of melon and Asian pears with a touch of minty freshness. It has a succulent and silky medium-bodied palate. Behind this is good structure and a wonderfully animating acidity. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink or hold. 93 points, James Suckling. 100% Pinot Blanc
Domaine Tabordet - Pouilly-Fume "Champs de Chaumes" 2021
It has a beautiful golden yellow color. On the nose, we discover an intense aromatic bouquet brought by the Sauvignon. Citrus and white fruit notes mingle. On the palate the wine is well balanced, with aromas of citrus, apricot and peach. 100% Sauvignon Blanc.
Domaine Sparr - Riesling 'Altenbourg' 2020
The enveloping nose of ripe pear pulls you inexorably into this generous dry riesling that marries ample fruit with a wonderful freshness. Very long, crisp and chalky finish. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink or hold. 94 points, James Suckling. 100% Riesling.
