Méo-Camuzet Frère et Sœurs 2023 Chambolle-Musigny Pinot Noir 750 mL
Perfumed, crunchy red fruit opens with violet and rose-petal lift, followed by a quiet thread of spice. The palate is dry, medium-bodied and finely shaped, with fresh acidity giving the fruit precision and energy. Silky texture and fine tannins keep the wine graceful rather than weighty. The finish is pure and persistent, returning to red berries, florals and subtle spice with composed length.
Domaine Etienne Sauzet 2023 Puligny-Montrachet
Pale lemon-lime in the glass, with a restrained citrus nose that opens gradually. The palate is precise and refined, combining Granny Smith apple, wet-stone minerality and a fine line of acidity. Middleweight and persistent, it carries measured richness without losing its clean, animated shape. Give it a little air, then serve with scallops, roast poultry or creamy cheeses.
Domaine Gros Frère et Sœur 2023 Vosne-Romanée 750 mL
Red and black cherry lead an aromatic, silky profile, with rose and strawberry adding lift. The palate is elegant and finely textured, carrying ripe fruit without excessive weight. Fresh acidity keeps the wine lively, while supple tannins provide a quiet frame. Gentle spice develops through the middle and gives the fruit additional definition. The finish remains poised and persistent, leaving cherry, floral detail and a measured savoury edge.
Méo-Camuzet Frère et Sœurs 2023 Fixin Pinot Noir 750 mL
Dark currant and berry fruit meet potpourri, earth, graphite and a subtle wild note. The palate is medium-bodied and velvet-textured, with fine depth and an even balance between red and black fruit. Fresh acidity keeps the shape precise, while dusty, mildly rustic tannins add definition. The finish is quietly persistent, returning to dark fruit, earth and graphite with composed length.
Domaine Bessin-Tremblay 2023 Chablis Premier Cru Fourchaume
Lemon peel, grapefruit and lime zest lead with yellow apple, pear and white flowers. The palate has concentrated fruit wrapped in a smooth, finely textured middle, while bright acidity keeps the wine precise. An iodised, saline character adds savoury definition. The finish is persistent and mineral, leaving citrus, subtle hazelnut, gentle spice and a cool stony edge.
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.
Albamar 2023 Albariño Rías Baixas Magnum
Fragrant yellow and orange fruit opens with a saline, almond undercurrent, sandy spice and a light leesy note. Electric and precise, the palate carries bright fruit through a taut, maritime profile, finishing clean and savoury. The style is vivid without excess weight. Serve with oysters, ceviche, grilled prawns, sushi or simply prepared white fish.
Karamolegos 2023 Koloura
A mineral Greek white led by stone fruit, citrus, white flowers and dried herbs. The palate is firm and fresh, with Assyrtiko’s bright acidity carrying the fruit into a saline, persistent finish. Structured enough for the table but still refreshing, it is especially good with grilled octopus, shellfish, feta, lemon-dressed vegetables or herb-forward dishes.
Domaine A.F. Gros 2023 Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits Rouge
Bright red cherry and fresh raspberry lead a pure, energetic profile, with a light earthy note and fine mineral edge adding definition. The palate is light to medium in body, carried by lively acidity and finely drawn tannins into a crisp, refined finish. Serve with roast chicken, duck, mushroom dishes or simply prepared pork.
Ekho 2023 Aegean Islands Rose
Soft pink and quietly aromatic, led by floral notes rather than overt fruit. Pronounced acidity gives the palate a crisp, taut shape, while subtle spice, lees ageing and partial fermentation in acacia bring texture and complexity without heaviness. Light-bodied, dry and elegant, it finishes clean and restrained. Serve well chilled with shellfish, grilled vegetables, mezze or lightly spiced seafood.
Jean Foillard 2023 Morgon Côte du Py
Dried cherry and prune lead a soft, unctuous palate, with concentrated fruit carried by a supple texture. There is seriousness beneath the generosity, but the wine remains composed and flowing rather than dense. Its pure, generous shape makes it a natural partner for charcuterie, roast chicken or goat cheese, while the fruit remains clear enough to enjoy on its own.
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.
Escaravailles 2023 Rasteau Heritage 1924
Sweet raspberry, framboise and floral notes rise from the glass, leading into a ripe, powerful palate that remains remarkably weightless. The texture is medium to full-bodied, framed by ultra-fine tannins and fresh, precise fruit. Made entirely from destemmed Grenache and raised in concrete, it pairs naturally with grilled lamb, duck, beef stew, roasted aubergine or aged hard cheese.
Benanti 2023 Etna Bianco
Pale and bright, with green-apple freshness, lemon oil and a light chamomile note. The palate is dry and finely cut, bringing white cherry and a touch of honey into vivid mineral acidity. A saline, gently smoky line carries the persistent finish. Poised rather than showy, it suits raw shellfish, grilled fish or simply chilled as an aperitif.
Lorgeril 2023 L’Orangeraie Rosé 3 L Box
Pale, dry and lively, with strawberry, raspberry and pink grapefruit lifted by a light floral note. The palate is crisp and easy-moving, bringing juicy red fruit, fresh citrus and a clean mineral edge to a refreshing finish. Three litres make this rosé an easy favourite to keep ready for your patio, picnic or casual gathering; serve well chilled with salads, grilled salmon or Mediterranean vegetables.
Saint Cosme 2023 Crozes-Hermitage
Black fruit, smoked bacon, cracked pepper and incense lead a savoury, aromatic nose. The palate has more structure than the appellation's flatter-ground examples, with dark Syrah fruit, firm tannins and a mineral line carrying through the finish. Meaty, peppery and composed rather than heavy, it is a strong match for grilled lamb, mushrooms or slow-cooked onions.
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.
Domaine de l’Aigle 2023 Chardonnay Limoux 750 mL
Toasted brioche and gentle oak frame ripe peach, quince and honeydew, with a subtle note of herbal tea adding detail. The palate is rounded yet energetic, carrying roasted stone fruit into a salty, mineral line. Citrus-marmalade brightness keeps the richer texture in balance. It finishes with measured toast, fresh acidity and a savoury, lightly saline persistence.
