Larmandier-Bernier Latitude Extra-Brut Blanc de Blancs Non-Vintage

R1,250.00 inc. VAT
"The NV Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Latitude 1er Cru is bright and beautifully focused. The Latitude contains 40% perpetual reserve wine dating back to 2004. It is usually a bit more approachable on release, but this year's version clearly needs time to soften. Today, citrus, floral and mineral notes abound on the steely finish. Dosage is 3 grams per liter." - Antonio Galloni, Vinous

Domaine Roland Lavantureux Chablis Grand Cru Bourgos 2021

R1,495.00 inc. VAT
"A paler colour and richer nose, some wood, some muscle. Gently concentrated, with some citrus, then a wealth more fruit on the second half of the palate, a surge of energy. A really very long finish." - Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy

Domaine Roland Lavantureux Chablis Premier Cru Vau de Vey 2021

R795.00 inc. VAT
Attractive pale lemon. The nose has white fruit with a grassy overlay. There is an excellent balance between the concentration of fruit and the acidity, with fruit and minerals in harness at the finish. Even a little lemony touch.. - Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy

Domaine Roland Lavantureux Chablis Premier Cru Beauroy 2021

R795.00 inc. VAT
"Pale colour, iodine mineral nose, white fruit and a little bit of almond paste, very agreeable aftertaste. Pasty texture, now all white fruit." - Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy

Domaine Roland Lavantureux Chablis Premier Cru Fourchaume 2021

R795.00 inc. VAT
"Pale colour. A light and elegant nose, some marine notes behind, gentle but showing well, with a little more volume behind, a wave of white fruit and an attractively nuanced finish. Drink from 2025-2028." - Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy

Domaine Roland Lavantureux Chablis Vauprin 2021

R595.00 inc. VAT
Pale to mid lemon. This is very discreet on the nose, but magical on the palate, with that extra stretch that delivers much more at the finish. The wood shows just a little at the finish, but is integrating. Really gorgeous long finish with just a minor inflection of iodine which carries the minerals through to the back. Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy

Domaine Roland Lavantureux Chablis Vieilles Vignes 2021

R550.00 inc. VAT
Pale lemon yellow. The bouquet shows quite ample white fruit, good body, nothing meagre here. This is beautifully balanced on the palate, with a little lemon rinse on top of the fruit. Nicely marine and mineral. - Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy

Champagne Lanson Le Blanc de Blancs

R1,395.00 inc. VAT
Champagne Lanson Le Blanc de Blancs NV, "Based on the 2014 vintage (supplemented by fully 40% reserve wines) and disgorged in February 2020 with seven grams per liter dosage, Lanson's NV Brut Le Blanc de Blancs offers up attractive aromas of citrus oil, flowers, white peach and brioche. Medium to full-bodied, pillowy and fleshy, with racy acids and a pinpoint mousse, it concludes with a mouthwatering, delicately chalky finish." - William Kelley, Wine Advocate

Champagne Pol Roger Blanc de Blancs Vintage 2015

R1,750.00 inc. VAT
Champagne Pol Roger Blanc de Blancs 2015, "After the pillowy, chiseled 2013, Pol Roger's 2015 Brut Blanc de Blancs is cut from richer, broader cloth. Offering up aromas of crisp golden orchard fruit, white flowers and subtle hints of warm biscuits, it's full-bodied, broad and vinous, with a fleshy core of fruit, lively acids and a precise, chalky finish. In style, it's reminiscent of a somewhat more sun-kissed version of the 2012 rendition." - William Kelley, The Wine Advocate

Ronco-Gnemiz Chardonnay Sol 2021

R950.00 inc. VAT
"The 2021 Chardonnay Sol is quite restrained and delicate in the glass with floral nuances, crushed stones and lime. It's much more expressive on the palate, with brisk acidity giving life to its mineral-inflected orchard fruits. This tapers off with a pretty inner sweetness offsetting its youthful concentration, leaving hints of floral-laced apple and pear. The 2021 will take some time to come fully into focus." - Eric Guido, Vinous

Ronco-Gnemiz Chardonnay Ronco Basso 2021

R735.00 inc. VAT
"An attractive blend of crushed stone, white flowers, apple and vanilla custards make the 2021 Chardonnay Ronco Basso a total pleasure on the nose. This is pure hedonistic pleasure on the palate, with soothingly silky textures and ultra-ripe orchard fruits offset by a burst of candied lime. For all of its intensity, the 2021 cleans up beautifully though the finish, leaving hints of hazelnut and dried apricot that resonate. While a bit ripe in style, the 2021 overdelivers." - Eric Guido, Vinous

BLANKbottle Seelug 2022

R350.00 inc. VAT
BLANKbottle Seelug 2022, "Did it go through malolactic fermentation," I asked Pieter Walser. "I didn’t even check," he replied. But who cares? This is a delightful new Chardonnay from a sea breeze-influenced site on the Lower Heldeberg, showing notes of honey, fresh dough and lemon butter and a fresh, zesty finish." - Tim Atkin MW

Newton Johnson Southend Chardonnay 2022

R263.01 inc. VAT
"Made with full malolactic - "it's not really a choice, it just kicks in," says Gordon Newton Johnson - this comes from a cooler, south-facing slope that tends to produce a steely style. Aged in 11% new wood, it's sappy, focused and refreshing, with lime and lemongrass flavours and a hint of struck match." - Tim Atkin MW
