Domaine Vincent Dauvissat Chablis 2022
Domaine Vincent Dauvissat
Dauvissat's village-level Chablis drinks like a wine well above its station. The meticulous viticulture and restrained winemaking let the Kimmeridgian terroir speak clearly — chalky, mineral-driven, and absolutely alive. This is Chablis with nothing to hide.
Nose
Green apple and lemon zest dominate, with a flinty mineral note beneath. A subtle honeyed quality and just a trace of white flowers add complexity without weight.
Palate
Taut and precise, with citrus and green apple flavors wrapped around a chalky mineral spine. There's a delicate creaminess from lees contact that keeps the wine from feeling austere, while the acidity is bracing and clean.
Finish
Medium-long with a persistent mineral-citrus echo. The finish is razor-sharp and refreshing, with a saline quality that calls you back for another taste.

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.
