France

Chateau Piada has gorgeous floral, peach, and citrus aromatics and an incredible honeyed texture, with beautiful acidity.

With cellars located in the charming, hilltop town of Sancerre, Jean-Laurent and Jean-Dominique Vacheron have vineyards in mainly the eastern part of Sancerre on hard, flinty soils as well as smaller holding on softer limestone and clay soils.

This is typically gastronomic with a cornucopia of exotic flavours – classic Gewürztraminer notes of rose petals, white pepper, lychee and lime – along with bright acidity and mouthwatering minerality.

This 100% Sauvignon Blanc is produced on soils that provides aromas of citrus and crispy refreshing taste to the wine. Enjoy it at 45°F with mussels, scallops, shellfish or simply on its own.

Domaine Claude Riffault is located in Sury-en-Vaux, in the heart of the Sancerre appellation in the Loire Valley. The estate is managed by Stéphane Riffault , representative of the 4th generation. He trained in Burgundy and at Château Angélus in Bordeaux.

A pale yellow wine with hints of gold, the complex nose is intense with floral notes (rose) and spices (pepper). Hints of ripe grapes. The attack is direct and concentrated. Well-balanced and rather dry, it goes well with tropical dishes and anything based on the strong Alsatian Munster cheese.

Domaine Chevrot is located in Cheilly-les-Maranges, between the Maranges and Santenay appellations. Pablo and Vincent Chevrot, two brothers with degrees in oenology, have been managing the estate for over 10 years.

Notable for its crispness and clarity, this enjoyable 2022 Joseph Mellot is a stunning example of the Loire region. Well-balanced and the ideal accompaniment for seafood and goat’s cheese, it has a punchy nose and shows plenty of floral aromas.

Bright pale yellow robe with golden reflections. The nose is complex, combining flowers (broom), grapefruit with mineral aromas (flint). The attack is lively and fresh with confirmation of exotic fruits. Good aromatic persistence.

Simonnet-Febvre Chablis is a crisp and mineral-driven French white. It greets with alluring aromas of green apple, citrus, and a touch of flinty notes. The palate delivers flavors of lemon zest, white peach, and a vibrant acidity, leading to a wine of purity and elegance, perfect for pairing with seafood or light poultry dishes.

Fourth-generation vigneron Bruno Colin is privileged to work some of the most prestigious sites in his home village of Chassagne-Montrachet. The house style could be described as a classical expression of these great climats, offering loads of Burgundian terroir with lovely texture, class, and precision.

Golden hue and exceptional purity. A very precise wine. Mineral backbone and good complexity. The first nose is dominated by aromas of white flowers and licorice. The palate is full-bodied, smooth and rich with a delicate acidity that gives it a lively finish. This wine offers excellent ageing potential. Discreet peppery and woody notes evolve. Very persistent finish.
