Domaine Bousquet Torrontés Reserve 2023
Domaine Bousquet
Torrontés is Argentina's signature white grape, and Domaine Bousquet's high-altitude vineyards in the Uco Valley give it a razor-sharp acidity that balances its naturally exuberant aromatics. This 2023 is a varietal showcase—every sip announces the grape before the place.
Nose
Explosive floral aromatics—rose petal and a hint of violet—burst from the glass alongside fresh citrus and white peach. A subtle green herb note and a grassy thread keep it grounded.
Palate
Light to medium-bodied with crisp acidity driving lime zest, green apple, and a continuation of the rose petal from the nose. There's a honeyed mid-palate sweetness that registers as flavor rather than residual sugar, and the finish pivots to a clean mineral bite.
Finish
Bright and fresh with lingering citrus and a faint floral echo.

Do Ferreiro Albariño Rías Baixas 2023
Do Ferreiro
Do Ferreiro is the benchmark producer for serious Albariño, and their basic cuvée is anything but basic. Gerardo Méndez tends some of the oldest Albariño vines in the Val do Salnés, and the wine's combination of fruit intensity, textural complexity, and mineral precision reflects decades of hands-on viticulture. This is white wine that earns its place at the table.
Graci Etna Bianco Arcurìa 2022
Graci
A vivid expression of high-elevation Carricante — austere, lifted, and built for the cellar.
Domaine de la Pépière Muscadet Sèvre et Maine sur Lie Clos des Briords Vieilles Vignes 2022
Domaine de la Pépière
Marc Ollivier built Pépière into one of Muscadet's reference estates through patient viticulture and minimal intervention. The Clos des Briords bottling, from vines averaging 70 years old on gneiss soils, is Muscadet at its most serious. At this price, it remains one of the best value propositions in all of French wine.
Domaine Vincent Dauvissat Chablis 2022
Domaine Vincent Dauvissat
Dauvissat's village-level Chablis drinks like a wine well above its station. The meticulous viticulture and restrained winemaking let the Kimmeridgian terroir speak clearly — chalky, mineral-driven, and absolutely alive. This is Chablis with nothing to hide.
