Domaine Roulot Bourgogne Blanc 2022
Domaine Roulot
Jean-Marc Roulot's regional Bourgogne Blanc routinely embarrasses wines twice its classification. Sourced from vines around Meursault, this is Burgundy distilled to its essence — tension, minerality, and chardonnay fruit in perfect balance. The terroir of the Côte de Beaune's limestone soils is unmistakable.
Nose
Citrus blossom and green apple open with clarity, followed by a chalky mineral edge and a whisper of hazelnut. There's a subtle honey quality that emerges with air.
Palate
Taut and precise, with bright acidity carrying flavors of lemon curd, green pear, and white flowers. The mid-palate has a creamy texture from careful lees contact, yet the wine remains laser-focused and dry.
Finish
Long and mineral-driven, with persistent citrus and a stony, almost saline close.

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.
