2020
Robert Weil 2020 Riesling Trocken
Fresh citrus and a subtle slate note shape a precise, understated nose. The dry palate is vivid and well proportioned, with light-to-medium body and clean acidity giving the wine an easy sense of movement. Balanced and complete rather than showy, it finishes with calm mineral definition and suits shellfish, river fish or simple vegetable dishes.
Zilliken 2020 Forstmeister Geltz Mosel Riesling
Fresh citrus and orchard fruit glide across a light, nearly weightless palate, balanced by crisp acidity and a gentle off-dry fruitiness. Lemon zest and apple tart shape the long, clean finish, while a slate-like mineral line keeps everything precise. Serve well chilled with spicy Thai dishes, pork, smoked trout, roast chicken, creamy cheeses or lightly sweetened fruit tarts.
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.
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.
Remoissenet 2020 Volnay
Fresh red cherry and blackcurrant lead, lifted by violet and a gentle liquorice note. Medium-bodied and energetic, the palate has refined, integrated tannins and natural acidity that keeps the fruit bright. Red berries and fine spice carry through a silky, persistent finish. Pair with duck, roast chicken, pork tenderloin or mushroom dishes, serving just below room temperature.
Elodie Roy 2020 Maranges Le Goty
Perfumed and floral, with darker cherry fruit and a discreet oak note. The palate has real flavour authority, combining freshness and concentration with fine energy and a graceful, sculpted shape. Tannins are present but smooth-grained, carrying the wine to a savoury, gently dry finish with excellent focus and length.
Robert Perroud 2020 Pollen Brouilly
Blackberry and spice lead a rich yet composed red, with the structure already well integrated into its dark fruit. The palate is generous but not heavy, shaped by fresh acidity and a savoury mineral line that carries through the finish. Serve slightly cool with roast chicken, pork tenderloin, grilled sausages, charcuterie, lentil dishes, mushrooms or hard cheese.
Jane Eyre 2020 Savigny-les-Beaune 1er Cru Aux Vergelesses
Bright ruby in colour, opening with pure violet, fresh red cherry and a quiet touch of forest floor. The palate is graceful and mid-weight, with supple tannins, lively tension and subtle whole-bunch spice. Silky texture and poised acidity keep the fruit precise before a clean, persistent finish of violet and fine mineral detail.
Château du Hureau 2020 Saumur Blanc Argile
Apricot and Anjou pear lead, followed by white flowers and fresh citrus. The palate is succulent yet focused, with bright acidity shaping ripe white and exotic fruit into a clean, tonic line. A subtle mineral grip adds texture and precision, carrying the wine through a long, layered and gently floral finish.
Domaine Pelle 2020 Menetou-Salon Morogues Blanc
Yellow plum, ripe citrus and a touch of tropical fruit give the nose generous lift. Concentrated on the palate without becoming heavy, it balances rounded fruit with clean acidity and a light mineral edge. The finish is fresh, aromatic and quietly persistent. Serve chilled with grilled prawns, fresh goat cheese, green vegetables or a simply dressed roast chicken.
Domaine Guiberteau 2020 Saumur Blanc
Mark Haisma 2020 Cornas
Château Le Puy 2020 Émilien
Dark cherry, blackcurrant and plum meet cedar, earth and a quiet trace of mushroom. The palate is savoury and finely structured, with silky tannins framing bright red fruit, roasted almond and subtle spice. Freshness and mineral detail hold the supple texture in balance through a long, understated and complex finish.
Rabasse Charavin 2020 Cotes Du Rhone
A ripe Southern Rhône red with blackberry, black cherry and plum, framed by garrigue, pepper and licorice. The palate is medium- to full-bodied, with supple tannins, juicy dark fruit and fresh acidity keeping the wine warm but balanced. A savoury, lightly earthy finish makes it a natural partner for grilled lamb, roast vegetables or herb-seasoned sausages.
Grosbois Gabare 2020 Chinon
A generous Chinon with ripe strawberry and raspberry fruit, a dusting of cocoa and a subtle leafy note. The palate is soft and succulent, with fine tannins and fresh acidity giving the wine an easy, harmonious shape. Serve it lightly cool with pâté, charcuterie, grilled pork or lentil dishes, where its bright fruit and savoury edge can work together.
Grosbois Clos La Henry 2020 Bourgueil
A smooth Loire Cabernet Franc with raspberry, graphite, green pepper and violet. The palate is refreshing and supple, with the red fruit and floral notes carried by a clean, understated structure. Made with minimal intervention, it finishes savoury and composed rather than heavy. Serve it with pâté, terrines, roast poultry, mushrooms or lightly grilled pork.
Billaud-Simon 2020 Chablis Grand Cru Les Preuses
Light gold with subtle golden reflections, opening on mineral, creamy and floral notes with touches of honey, dried fruit and sea spray. The palate is direct and powerful, yet finely honed, with concentrated citrus held in balance by fresh acidity and a precise mineral line. The finish is pure, persistent and gently saline. Serve with oysters, roast halibut, crab or young Comté.
Sainte Anne 2020 Notre-Dame Cellett Cdrv
A structured southern Rhône red with warm spice, subtle leather, cumin and dark blackberry. The palate is rich and ample, combining concentrated fruit with firm tannins and enough freshness to maintain balance. Dense but polished through the savoury finish, it should benefit from air and works well with roast lamb, braised beef, grilled sausages or herb-led dishes.
Sohler Philippe 2020 Riesling GC Heissen
Lemon and star anise lead this lively Riesling, with a clear mineral line adding shape and complexity. The palate feels bright and quietly playful rather than showy, finishing clean and precise. Its freshness makes it an easy table wine; serve with shellfish, roast chicken or lightly spiced vegetable dishes.
