The Lafaurie Peyraguey Grand Vin Blanc Sec 2022 is a stunning white wine hailing from the renowned wine region of Bordeaux, France. This vintage, produced in 2022, showcases the exceptional quality of the Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey estate. A pale golden hue shimmers in the glass, hinting at the wine's delicate yet complex character.

On the palate, the wine delivers a vibrant and refreshing experience, with a perfect balance of vibrant acidity and rich, creamy texture. Flavors of juicy stone fruits, citrus, and a touch of minerality dance on the tongue, leading to a long and satisfying finish. This Grand Vin Blanc Sec is a true representation of the elegance and finesse of Bordeaux wines.

Domaine Daniel Bouland Morgon Délys
The lieu-dit Les Délys is part of the Corcelette climat located downslope from Bellevue and right behind Bouland’s residence and winery. Délys is Bouland’s back garden if you like. Again, Bouland splits his vines into two cuvées: an old vine cuvée raised in foudre and this younger-vine version raised in concrete. The vines were planted in 1978 and 1980 in the deep granitic sand typical of Les Délys, which brings roundness and Burgundian-like texture to the wines. It’s another super refined and comprehensively delicious Morgon, redolent of succulent wild berry and nettle spice, topped off by a vibrant, racy close with just a hint of tannin.

MAISON LES ALEXANDRINS CONDRIEU
Maison Les Alexandrins is a collaboration between two renowned winegrowers from the Rhone Valley - Nicolas Jaboulet and Alexandre Caso. Their wines are crafted in a signature style that is at once contemporary and timeless, and always from exceptional vineyards unearthed by Alexandre Caso, a specialist in the terroirs of the Northern Rhone. Condrieu lies at the northernmost part of the Rhône Valley. Here the parent rock is granite with topsoil varying between decomposing granite and loess. This soil is perfectly suited to the Viognier grape variety and the vines, planted in terraces, are constantly bathed in sunshine. Seductive shiny-gold colour with golden reflections. The nose reveals an aromatic bouquet with an exotic character white peaches, spices and citrus fruit. Perfectly balanced between finesse and power, the mouth is voluptuous, complex, with a beautiful structure and freshness.
Weinbach Alsace Clos des Capucins Pinot Noir
Biodynamic. The standard of Weinbach’s Pinot has gone through the roof. There are now five single-vineyard Pinots in the range. The Clos des Capucins bottling leans towards early-ish drinking, with quality pitched towards the village-level wines of Burgundy. Stylistically, it can equally resemble the high-grown Pinots from the Jura or even the best German Pinots as much as those of the Côte d’Or. The fruit fermented spontaneously with 20% bunches and spent about 20 days on skins. It was raised in mature Burgundy barrels for 14 months before being bottled unfiltered. The result is a beautiful expression of Pinot Noir, combining subtle tannins, refreshing texture and a mouth-watering, powdery close. This is very, very good—a unique and terrific alternative to Burgundy.
