David & Nadia Chenin Blanc 2023 Magnum
"Our bread and butter", is how David Sadie describes this old-vine Chenin Blanc, sourced from eight different sites on the Paardeberg, most of which are on granite. Earthy, stony, layered and refreshing, it offers scents of fennel and lanolin and a palate of citrus, green apple, leesy complexity and a palate-cleansing finish." - Tim Atkin MW

Château de Saint Cosme IGP “Les Deux Albion” Blanc 2022
"The wine is relatively aromatic – roughly on a par with Clairette – and develops scents of marshmallow, watermelon, pear and white flowers. On the palate, the acidity is forward or even slightly disjointed. There is great palatability. Incorporating the aptly named Saint Côme into our collection of white varieties is a worthwhile experience because it takes us back to the pre-phylloxera world of heirloom grape varieties. In 2022, the Deux Albion is fresh, clean and aromatic as always, with some great sourness on the finish – in a vintage like this, this is a surprising but welcome trait" - Winemaker's notes
David & Nadia Chenin Blanc 2022 Magnum
“This is the biggest production Chenin Blanc from David and Nadia Sadie, sourced from eight different old-vine parcels and now amounting to 16,000 bottles. Granite-based with other components on shale, clay and limestone, it’s a nuanced, effortlessly balanced white with notes of aniseed, oatmeal, wet stone and pithy citrus and yellow apple fruit.” – Tim Atkin MW
Domaine William Fèvre Chablis Village 2020
Domaine William Fèvre Chablis Village 2020, "A little more lemon with lime in colour, and a more complete expression of Chablis on the nose, marine minerals alongside the fruit. A fresh lime note comes through on the palate along with the marine character, impeccable balance and very good length." - Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy
Bodegas Mauro Godello 2021
"Their one white comes from Bierzo (mainly Villafranca del Bierzo), and the 2021 Godello was cropped from an Atlantic, cooler vintage with moderate temperatures and enough rain throughout the growing season. The grapes went through a 12-hour cold soak, and the juice then fermented in new and used 500-liter French oak barrels where the wine matured with the lees for 10 months before it was bottled. It has 13% alcohol and a pH of 3.1 denoting very good freshness. It has ripeness but without excess, with varietal notes of yellow fruit, flowers and a touch of pollen, smoke and spices. It has a round palate with clarity and definition, long, tasty and with a dry and varietal finish with a note of quince. 12,628 bottles produced. It was bottled in July 2022." - Luis Gutiérrez, The Wine Advocate
Domaine François Crochet Sancerre Blanc Exils 2020
Domaine François Crochet Sancerre Blanc Le Grand Chemarin 2019
"There's a tenderness to the 2019 Sancerre Les Grand Chemarin, filling the mouth with a silken texture. Expect pure lemon, apple cream and croissant-like flavors from 18 months on lees and malolactic conversion. A zen-like expression, yet fresh, with a fine structure that clasps the front of the mouth, providing reassuring grip. Medium-long length." - Rebecca Gibb MW, Vinous
Immich-Batterieberg Enkircher Ellergrub Riesling 2020
"From ancient, partly ungrafted vines, the 2020 Enkircher Ellergrub Riesling is white-golden in color and opens with a clear, fine and very complex as well as delicate bouquet of ripe fruit and finely weathered blue slate notes. This is amazingly fine again but also generously ripe, yet everything seems to be so easily interwoven. Bottled three weeks ago, this is a full-bodied, round and elegant Riesling that, again, didn't ferment to fully dry, which gives slightly sweet (or round) fruit but also lush, mouth-filling and silky-textured fruit with remarkable finesse. The finish is long and harmonious, very elegant and sublime. Many Riesling lovers will adore this wine immediately (and with the right dish, such as poultry in cream sauce with morels or porcini, with good reason), yet I'd opt to cellar it for about a decade. In any case, you can expect to enjoy a great Mosel Riesling when it's Immich's 2020 Ellergrub. 12% stated alcohol, 16 grams of residual sugar per liter. Natural cork. Tasted on November 1, 2021." - Stephan Reinhardt, The Wine Advocate
