INCLUDES 2 BOTTLES OF EACH WHITE WINE with GROUND SHIPPING INCLUDED
Jean Dauvissat Pere et Fils Chablis Bas de Fourchaume 2022
The parcel named "Bas de Fourchaume" is located, as its name indicates, under the Premier Cru Fourchaume. Classified in the Chablis appellation, this bottom of the hillside benefits from the same South-South/West exposure as the premier cru, with deeper clay-loam soil. Long maceration on fine lees. Part in stainless steel, part in 600l oak demi-muits. Assembled after 12 months, and then another 6 months of maturation 'en masse'. Light fining and filtering, but not cold treated, to preserve aromatic finesse.
Domaine Borgeot Bourgogne Blanc 2022
This is a real (secret) gem, the vines actually sit within the commune of Puligny-Montrachet and this is evident in the floral and citrus fruit bouquet, surprisingly dense and mineral in the attack. It does not possess all the intensity of a village or 1er cru but no doubt is a perfect example of how, when you understand the sometimes complex Burgundy wine laws, great quality can work in our favour, drinking perfectly now.
Jean Claude Rateau Hautes Cotes de Beaune Blanc 2022
Racy and bright, ripe aromas of lemon and almond, spiced pear and apple, and that hint of sweet river rock. The palate is balanced and has impressive length. The antithesis of fat, oaky Chardonnay, this is a real terroir wine and a great value.
Domaine Gilles Bouton Bourgogne Blanc 2022
Beautiful example of how good regional classified wines can be. The caveat is that the producer must be top quality, small production. Complex citrus on the attack, with good concentration, saline minerality merges with some white pepper into the finish.
Julien Cruchandeau Aligote 'Le Village' 2023
From 50 year old vines in the hills above Nuits St Georges, this Aligote is fresh and spicy with green apple acidity. Bright, crisp almost crunchy fruit and a deep, floral lingering finish carried out long by the limestone minerality.
Jean-Jacques Girard Bourgogne Blanc 2021
A baby Savigny white. Its youthful vivacity tempered with a judicious use of oak yields a balance and a maturity beyond its years. That's the hand of the winemaker working with terroir that he was born to.
