Josmeyer Pinot Blanc Mise du Printemps 2022
Josmeyer
Josmeyer's Mise du Printemps is meant to be the first wine of the vintage — the spring release — and it captures that sense of renewal perfectly. It's unshowy, refreshing, and quietly complex, the kind of bottle you reach for on a warm evening when you want something alive with energy.
Nose
Crisp green apple and white pear lead, followed by a delicate floral note — almost like meadow flowers — and a subtle minerality. A hint of almond emerges as the wine opens.
Palate
Light-to-medium bodied with bright acidity. The palate delivers apple and melon with a clean, slightly waxy texture. A gentle honeyed quality builds in the mid-palate, balanced by a green, herbal freshness and a chalky mineral finish.
Finish
Clean and precise, with lingering green apple and a faint marzipan note that adds just enough richness before the acidity reasserts itself.

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.
