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.
Nose
Green apple and lemon zest dominate, with a flinty mineral note beneath. A subtle honeyed quality and just a trace of white flowers add complexity without weight.
Palate
Taut and precise, with citrus and green apple flavors wrapped around a chalky mineral spine. There's a delicate creaminess from lees contact that keeps the wine from feeling austere, while the acidity is bracing and clean.
Finish
Medium-long with a persistent mineral-citrus echo. The finish is razor-sharp and refreshing, with a saline quality that calls you back for another taste.

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 Zind-Humbrecht Pinot Gris Clos Windsbuhl 2022
Domaine Zind-Humbrecht
Clos Windsbuhl is a monopole site on limestone-rich Muschelkalk soils in Hunawihr, and its wines always carry a tension between richness and minerality. The 2022 vintage captures this duality perfectly — the warmth of the year gives generous fruit, but the terroir's limestone backbone refuses to let the wine become lazy. Olivier Humbrecht's biodynamic approach and non-interventionist winemaking let the vineyard's personality fill the interval between vine and glass.
