Eva Fricke Rheingau Riesling Trocken 2021
$65.00“The 2021 Rheingau is a pure Riesling trocken with bright, ripe fruit and fine mineral stone as well as herbal aromas—pretty complex for a generic Rheingau Riesling from Kiedrich, Eltville, Erbach and Lorch. Lush and round but elegant, this is a fruity, juicy and very aromatic Riesling with mouth-filling texture and fine mineral grip on […]

Bernard Baudry Chinon Blanc 2019
$55.00100% Chenin Blanc. Baudry’s rare Chinon Blanc hails from two small parcels: 0.8 hectares of vines behind the Château de Sonnay (these propagated with cuttings from the vineyards of Domaine Huet); and the eroded limestone of Le Clos Guillot. Vine age is in the 12 to 15 year ballpark. Matthieu Baudry naturally ferments the wine slowly […]

Eva Fricke Rheingau Riesling Melange Trocken 2021
$115.00Out of Stock
“A classic Rheingau riesling that reminds me very much of the great wines of the 1970s, this has a great interplay of lemon-curd fruit with mirabelle and dried-herb complexity. Serious depth and concentration on the full-bodied palate, fine tannins and earthy structure exactly interlocked on the powerful and complete finish.” 95 points, jamessuckling.com “Eva’s 2021 […]

Eva Fricke Rheingau Riesling Trocken 2020
$58.00Straight out of the blocks, what a way to start a wine tasting. Expressive, explosive and intense. Lemon, thyme, vine leaf, white peach and umami. Very narrow in profile, initially, but with a bit of swirling, warmth and time, really opens up and fleshes out. There is a mineral and saline quality, lip-smacking and with […]

Eva Fricke Kiedrich Riesling Trocken 2021
$85.00“The raspberry, orange-blossom, jasmine and white-tea character suggests a wine that’s less sweet and structured than this is. Still very youthful, with serious tension between the slightly grainy tannins and crisp acidity and the lush elements of the wine. Long, very bright finish.” 93 points, jamessuckling.com “The Riesling trocken 2021 Kiedrich offers a fine yet […]

Brendan Stater-West Saumur Blanc 2020

A wonderful example of chenin, showcasing the varietal’s richness and nerve. Smoky and earthy, with tangy citrus, white peach, kiwifruit, Indian spices, honey and apricot. Medium to full bodied, with a current of acidity, adding shape and structure. Faint peach skin texture, woven with the most pure and translucent fruit. Waters Wine Co A Portland […]

Georg Breuer Rudesheim Estate Riesling 2019
$48.00Out of Stock
At once generous, yet fine and polished, this is a pretty serious wine for the village-wine category with a lot of depth at the finish, where positive tannins and a slate-like quality add some real complexity. From organically grown grapes with Fair’n Green certification. Drink or hold. Screw cap. 93 points – Stuart Pigott, jamessuckling.com, […]

Jonathan Didier Pabiot Pouilly Fumé Aubaine 2020
$90.00Out of Stock
Aubaine is a single site of mature vines from the Les Champs de Cris vineyard. A cool, high vineyard, with stoney limestone soils of excellent drainage. Miniscule yields are derived from this tiny 1 hectare parcel and in a sense, this is the very essence of Pouilly-Fume. Depsite the cool nature of the site, the […]

Thibaud Boudignon Anjou Blanc 2021
$100.00The Anjou Blanc is from old densely planted vines, rooted in shallow sand and schist soils. Aged for up to 18 months in 500L and Stockinger “cigar” barrels, 30% of which are new. This is certainly the estates signature style, if more approachable, fuller and rounder than the more aristocratic Savennieres. Clear, tender, transparent and […]

Jonathan Didier Pabiot Pouilly Fumé Leon 2020
$70.00Leon is Jonathan Pabiot’s estate wine. Drawn from the region’s three main soil types of silex, caillottes and terres blanches. The vines are planted at 10,000 to the hectare, cropping a miserly 30 hl/ha. Now we enter the world of soil and climate. Aged in a mixture of stainless steel, oak and concrete, the choice […]

Jonathan Didier Pabiot Pouilly Fumé Elisa 2021
$60.00We should start with the Elisa (previously named Prelude), a blend of material from young vines across the 15 hectares of estate vineyards. This is the most overtly fruit driven and high toned, indeed closer to the cliched notion of Sauvignon Blanc. Stainless steel ageing for between 8 to 12 months has gifted a rich […]

Eva Fricke Lorch Krone Riesling Trocken 2022
$265.00Eva believes this needs a Burgundy glass, and now I think about it, all the single vineyard wines would benefit from such a glass. The Krone spends longer on lees than all the other wines. The power of the site is evident as there is still some dry extract and faint peach skin texture, despite […]

Paul Prieur Sancerre Blanc 2020
$75.00Paul Prieur’s Sancerre Blanc comes from estate vineyards, composed of either silex or limestone and blended. But make no mistake; this “entry” level Sancerre is very serious indeed. Medium bodied, sleek, mineral and mouthwatering. White peach lemon, lemon zest, green apple and savoury spice. Tense and pulsating, without the textural pillow of the more expensive […]

Eva Fricke Rheingau Riesling Melange Trocken 2022
$118.00Always one of our favorite wines of the release, with its exotic fruit profile and decadent palate. Kiwi, grapefruit, lemon squash, cherry and dried apricot aromatics. As always rich and broad, controlled opulence. Darker fruits on the palate, brought together by rippling passionfruit. Base notes, curves and lovely fleshy movement. Waters Wine Co “Stunning […]

Spreitzer Lenchen Riesling Kabinett 2020
$48.00A hedonistic Kabinett from a great vintage, without any fat or heaviness. Supremely complex, with blackcurrant, white cherry deep lime, green snake, green mango, raspberry and yellow peach. It’s tough to write in a way because there is so much flavour and complexity, just think of a fruit and you’ll find it. Tangy and tense, […]

Thibaud Boudignon Savennières Le Clos de Fremine 2021
$205.00Clos de Fremine is planted just below the winery, across the lane from Clos de la Hutte. The soil is sand over schist and what’s most surprising is how different the shape and structure is to Clos de la Hutte. Clos de Fremine is the most delicate, refined, lifted and floral with a structure of […]

Huet Vouvray Le Mont Sec 2021

The flint and the coolness of the site seem to bring a sense of tension and purpose through this wine, which seduces you then spits you out. […]

Huet Vouvray Le Haut-Lieu Sec 2021
$90.00“This is a very fine, fragrant and floral Le Haut Lieu Sec. While delicate, the 2021 fills the mouth with a cloud of pure fruit reminiscent of violets, apple and nectarine skin. There’s a fine sinew that pulls the wine through on the finish. It can be approached in its youth but will go on […]

Eva Fricke Lorcher Riesling Trocken 2020
$80.00Perhaps the most classic and aristocratic wine in this line up and a defining wine of the vintage. Intense, powerful, with great clarity of flavour, focus and precision. Citrus, white peach, a touch of peach skin for texture, minerals, tarragon and salt. Tingly and throbbing, huge energy and breadth and the overwhelming impression of hidden […]

Eva Fricke Lorchhauser Seligmacher Riesling 2022
$185.00A first taste for me of this great vineyard and it reminds me of the Mosel, except for that little bit of Rheingau heft and oomph. Super exotic. Cherry, passionfruit, kiwifruit and spring jasmine. So sensual, rich and luscious, with enveloping smoke and cream. Slightly off-dry, although the sweetness is faint, aiding gentleness and helping […]

Italian peach, blood orange, apricot, yellow peach and lime. Texturally complex, alongside the creaminess is a zesty line of acidity. A thoroughly complete wine and in a way, emblematic of the […]

Rich and deep, a feeling of effortlessness. Great precision, the acidity drawing a fine bead on the rich yellow fruit. Indian spices and silky texture. […]

Eva Fricke Rheingau Riesling Trocken 2022
$58.00Classic Eva Fricke of old, and she described this as a wine for a picnic or a casual party. Well, I’m sure this would be perfect, but this is also very serious wine. Lime, slate, white peach, white flowers and green mango aromatics. Incredibly intense and incisive. Salty and mineral with cumquat, apricot and grapefruit […]

A high active lime content is a feature of the region, but at this level, the vines must work very hard indeed for nutrients and water. The vineyard is terraced, steep […]

Dense and concentrated, with ripe citrus, stone, orchard, plum and cherry fruits. Less mineral than other wines in the Eva Fricke […]
