Domaine Roulot Bourgogne Blanc 2022
Domaine Roulot
Jean-Marc Roulot's regional Bourgogne Blanc routinely embarrasses wines twice its classification. Sourced from vines around Meursault, this is Burgundy distilled to its essence — tension, minerality, and chardonnay fruit in perfect balance. The terroir of the Côte de Beaune's limestone soils is unmistakable.
Nose
Citrus blossom and green apple open with clarity, followed by a chalky mineral edge and a whisper of hazelnut. There's a subtle honey quality that emerges with air.
Palate
Taut and precise, with bright acidity carrying flavors of lemon curd, green pear, and white flowers. The mid-palate has a creamy texture from careful lees contact, yet the wine remains laser-focused and dry.
Finish
Long and mineral-driven, with persistent citrus and a stony, almost saline close.

Domaine des Huards Cour-Cheverny AOC Romo 2023
Domaine des Huards
Cour-Cheverny is the only AOC in France dedicated to the ancient Romorantin grape, and Domaine des Huards is its finest ambassador. This is a wine of place — the chalky soils and continental climate write themselves into every glass. If you've never tried Romorantin, this is where to start.
Domaine Weinbach Riesling Grand Cru Furstentum 2022
Domaine Weinbach
The Faller family's Grand Cru Furstentum Riesling showcases one of Alsace's warmest and most powerful sites, yet the 2022 vintage maintains stunning freshness. This is Riesling at its most complete — aromatic, textured, mineral, and built for the table.
Pietradolce Etna Bianco DOC 2023
Pietradolce
Pietradolce's Carricante vines grow at 700 meters on Etna's north face, rooted in millennia of lava flow. Winemaker Michele Faro handles the fruit with restraint — stainless steel only, no malolactic — letting the grape and the volcano speak. The result is one of Italy's most compelling white wines at a price that borders on absurd for this level of quality.
Benanti Etna Bianco Superiore Pietra Marina 2022
Benanti
Pietra Marina is arguably Sicily's greatest white wine, and the 2022 vintage continues the tradition. Carricante from Etna's highest vineyards delivers a rare combination of power and precision — it has the depth to age but the freshness to drink now. If you want to understand what volcanic soil tastes like in a glass, start here.
