Drouhin 2017 Volnay
A wine of great elegance. A bright and luminous color, very frank. The aromas evoke violet and blackcurrant bud when the wine is young, evolving with maturity towards notes of ripe or candied fruits, mushrooms and sweet spices. On the palate, a beautiful sensation of roundness, velvety. The tannins are fine, the acidity gives freshness. A beautiful aromatic persistence, in candied and vanilla tones.
Charles Heidsieck Brut Reserve
Clement Lavallee 45 Degrees 2022 Chablis
This Chablis is the flagship. There's something very 'Raveneau' about this, their Chablis 45° (named after the steep slope of the vineyard), a wine with beautiful length, a perfectly balanced structure and subtle layers of orchard fruits and lightly-salted butter. It’s focused and richly textured, highlighting why Clément has become one of the fastest rising stars in Chablis.
