2022
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.
Château des Jacques 2022 Moulin-à-Vent
Jean-Claude Lapalu 2022 Brouilly La Croix des Rameaux
Dark fruit sits behind a clear, mouth-filling palate, with fine-grained tannin giving the wine an architectural sense of shape. The texture is firm but never coarse, and a slow, mouth-watering finish brings freshness to the structure. Distinctive and composed, it suits roast chicken, charcuterie or grilled mushrooms.
Domaine Raspail-Ay 2022 Gigondas
Escaravailles 2022 Les Coteaux Rasteau
Red, blue and black fruits lead, edged by cracked pepper and delicate floral notes. The palate is creamy and supple, with medium-to-full body, ripe concentration and excellent tannins. Freshness keeps the generous fruit beautifully balanced, carrying gentle spice and a savoury mineral touch through the rounded, elegant finish.
Maison Sichel 2022 Margaux
Blackcurrant, plum and dark cherry open with violet, cedar and discreet vanilla spice. Concentrated yet elegant, the palate carries generous dark fruit through polished, silky tannins, while fresh acidity preserves lift and definition. Subtle toast and a savoury mineral note add complexity, leading to a persistent, refined finish with measured richness and composure.
D’Arenberg 2022 Money Spider Roussanne
A concentrated Roussanne with honeydew melon, yellow peach and preserved lemon, accented by macadamia and a soft savoury note. The palate is broad and creamy but remains focused, with fresh acidity giving shape to the wine’s generous texture. Its combination of richness and lift makes it a thoughtful match for roast chicken, squash, shellfish or dishes finished with brown butter.
