Florian Beck-Hartweg 2019 Tout Naturellement Pétillant
Vibrant fruit sits beneath beautifully fine bubbles, with a firm spine giving this rosé pét-nat welcome shape. The palate feels fresh and lively, while a light, intriguing bitterness brings definition to the finish. Unusual but highly approachable, it is an excellent aperitif and works well with chickpea fritters or crisp salads.
Trimbach 2023 Sylvaner Weinbaum
Nutty apple and delicate herbs lead a generous, quietly distinctive nose. The palate is medium-bodied, concentrated and elegant, with a cool, dry herbal line carrying through the long finish. Detailed and fresh without becoming heavy, it works well with charcuterie, smoked fish, roast chicken or vegetable tarts.
Trimbach 2016 Reserve Pinot Gris
Ripe Mirabelle plum and pear shape the nose, giving a generous first impression without excess sweetness. The palate is resolutely dry, concentrated and fresh, with an earthy undertone adding depth beneath the fruit. Taut and clean from entry to finish, it carries its weight with poise and closes with whistle-clean precision.
Domaine Ostertag 2018 Clos Mathis Riesling
Focused and finely sculpted, with bright citrus framed by a cool, stony mineral character. Granite-grown fruit gives the palate a firm, precise line, while measured ripeness adds shape without heaviness. Sleek, energetic and persistent, it is compelling now for its clarity and has the structure to develop gracefully in bottle.
Domaine Ostertag 2015 Fronholz Riesling
Peach and tangerine make an immediately expressive nose, combining juicy ripeness with aromatic spice and citrus zest. The palate is dry, concentrated and vigorous, with firm acidity, mineral focus and a sleek, crystalline texture. There is real structure and poise beneath the exuberant fruit, carrying the finish with clarity and energy.
Jean-Paul Mauler 2016 Riesling Grand Cru Schoenenbourg
Deep gold in tone, with an enveloping, complex nose of pear, lime, grapefruit and bergamot over mineral, lightly smoky notes and a savoury herbal edge. The palate is full and powerful, its generous texture held in shape by clear, wrapping acidity. Concentrated and persistent, with the balance to continue developing.
Domaine Ferret 2022 Pouilly-Fuisse
Citrus and fresh almond lead a polished, mineral Chardonnay, with ripe orchard fruit and a subtle floral lift adding breadth. The palate is rounded and generous, yet limestone-derived saltiness and a fine granitic line keep it poised. Supple through the middle and clean on the finish, it pairs naturally with roast chicken, shellfish or creamy cheeses.
Remoissenet Pere & Fils 2019 Chassagne-Montrachet
Vanilla, light oak and cream frame ripe pineapple, stone fruit and white peach. The palate is broad and polished, then tightened by bright acidity that keeps the richness in check. A long finish brings caramel and vanilla back into focus without losing freshness. Give it a little air and serve with roast poultry, lobster, creamy seafood or firm alpine cheeses.
Remoissenet 2019 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru
Lemon butter and lime curd meet spiced green apple, clove and a faint cedary note. Full-bodied yet precise, the palate combines creamy texture with bright acidity and a long, refined finish. Yellow fruit, herbs and a light smoky savouriness add depth. Serve with grilled scallops, roast poultry or firm cheese.
Remoissenet Père & Fils 2019 Givry Blanc
Blossom honey and citrus lead the nose, joined by lilies and dried apricot as the wine opens. The palate is juicy and rounded, with ripe stone fruit, a light vanilla nuance and enough fresh acidity to keep the texture lively. A gently savoury mineral note brings definition to the clean, composed finish.
Remoissenet Pere & Fils 2019 Beaune Montagne Saint-Desire
White flowers and lemon zest lead into a clean line of crushed-stone minerality. The palate is concentrated yet finely drawn, with a silky texture and enough freshness to keep the shape precise. Subtle savoury notes gather through a long, composed finish. Serve cool rather than cold with shellfish, roast poultry, creamy sauces or firm white fish.
Billaud-Simon 2020 Chablis Grand Cru Bougros
Intense mineral notes meet candied fruit on the nose, leading into a rich, unctuous palate with a measured gingerbread warmth. The structure balances firmness and roundness, while a saline line keeps the finish elegant and precise. Serve with oysters, grilled fish, scallops or poultry in a light cream sauce, allowing a little air before pouring.
Domaine Etienne Sauzet 2019 Bourgogne Blanc
Fresh pear, crisp apple and lemon-lime open with a light floral lift. The palate is silky and gently rounded, but a clear mineral line and mouthwatering acidity keep the Chardonnay precise. Subtle citrus and orchard-fruit detail carry through a polished, refreshing finish. Pair with shellfish, roast poultry or a simple mushroom dish.
Domaine de l’Enclos 2023 Chablis Premier Cru La Fourchaume
Ripe orchard fruit opens with an inviting sense of richness. Full and softly enveloping on the palate, it carries its fruit with measured weight while a clear mineral line keeps the profile composed. The texture is generous without becoming heavy, and the flavours linger through a persistent, harmonious finish. A poised match for scallops, lobster, roast poultry or creamy mushroom dishes.
Billaud-Simon 2021 Chablis Premier Cru Vaillons
White peach and delicate white flowers form a focused, finely drawn nose. The palate is vibrant and energetic, with bright citrus acidity and a cool mineral line giving the fruit clarity. Leaner than opulent, it gains measured texture through the middle and closes with a brisk, precise finish that suits oysters, grilled fish or simply prepared shellfish.
La Soeur Cadette 2020 Bourgogne Blanc
Bright and light on its feet, with lemon pith, green apple and delicate apple blossom over a cool, stony backdrop. The palate is crisp and energetic, its clean Chardonnay fruit carried by a snappy line of acidity and a gently chalky finish. Fresh, versatile and quietly detailed, it works especially well with shellfish, salads or goat cheese.
Robert Perroud 2023 Terres Blanches Beaujolais-Villages Blanc
Delicate and refreshing, with grapefruit, white peach and bright citrus at the centre of a clean, poised profile. The palate stays light on its feet, balancing ripe fruit with a fresh, gently textured feel and a neat finish. Serve well chilled with roast chicken, grilled fish, fresh cheeses or vegetable dishes; it is equally comfortable as an elegant aperitif.
Mark Haisma 2023 Bourgogne Aligoté
Meyer lemon, nectarine and honeysuckle open with a cool, stony lift. The palate is refined and textural, carrying ripe citrus and orchard fruit through a clean mineral frame. There is enough breadth to feel generous, but the finish remains composed, precise and quietly energetic. A polished white for shellfish, roast chicken or firm Alpine cheese.
