Chateau Fuisse 2018 Pouilly Fuisse, Tete De Cuvee
Chateau Fuisse dates back to 1604 and has been in the Vincent family for five generations. They said "Brimming with ripe yellow plums and nectarines with candied lemon/lime citrus and honeysuckle; delightfully pure and harmonious with a warming creamy oak consistency and a lovely deft finish. Long and luxurious."
Clotilde Davenne 2018 Chablis
Along with the wonderful range of wines Clotilde Davenne bottles from her estate holdings, she has access to fruit from premier and grand cru vineyards in Chablis grown by vignerons who work to her exacting specification. This wine is 100% Chardonnay from 35+ year old vines from the village of Courgis (Chablis AOC). Just a touch of flinty reduction echoes on this wine's nose, merging into zesty, ripe lemon.
Corton-Charlemagne, Grand Cru 2015 Louis Latour
The vineyard of Corton-Charlemagne is situated in the prime area of the hillside of Corton where its southeasterly aspect ensures maximum exposure to the sun. A flagship wine for this producer, this is rich and seductive, opulent even. Bold yellow fruits, ripe apples and pears are surrounded by a youthful texture that will allow it to age.
Domaine Chavy 2018 Puligny-Montrachet, Les Folatieres 1er Cru
The estate of Gerard Chavy has now been split into two separate estates by his sons, Jean-Louis Chavy, and Alain Chavy. Jean-Louis has built a brand new winemaking facility and a deep temperature controlled cellar at the bottom of the village. This bottle shows wonderful intensity and generosity.
Montagny Premier Cru 2015 Les Tourelles de la Crée
Owned by arguably the most iconic wine couple in Oregon, the Evenstads took their talents to Burgundy to purchase this amazing estate where they've proven themselves yet again. Château de la Crée produces a clean, pure expression of Burgundian terroir. This fresh Chardonnay smells of Meyer lemons, apricots and white peaches. It's perfect for a Spring evening or alongside a delicious flaky white fish cooked in lots of butter, as the French do.
Simonnet-Febvre 2018 Chablis Premier Cru, Vaillons
The bright, tangy wines of Chablis are world-famous for their quality and style. The white, chalky soil gives them their tart flintiness, and the Chardonnay grape gives them fruit and substance. The palate adds tension and freshness, streamlining this into a mouthwatering, slightly textured body that has a clean, dry finish. This wine offers lots of energy, with a wonderfully pithy note.
Vincent Girardin 2017 Chassagne-Montrachet Vieilles Vignes

This bottle is full-bodied, powerful and rich with aromas of toasted almonds, ripe Gala apples, white flowers and honey. The balancing acidity is lively offering freshness and a long, lingering finish.
