Damien Laureau Savennieres “La Petite Roche” 2018
Add to cart$50.00$43.00in any six$58.00per single bottleDamien Laureau’s 2018 La Petite Roche has a greater concentration of fruit than the 2016, riper acids and more succulence. To put this in perspective though, Laureau makes extremely pure, precise and mineral chenin blanc and the 2018 is true to form with just a little bit more flesh. A truly gorgeous wine for slightly […]

Valenciso’s Blanco 2018 is a super pretty, aromatic wine with crushed citrus and savoury notes and a juicy, silky yet tangy, vibrant palate.

Review for the 2018 – Light straw-yellow colour, slightly cloudy in the glass – an unfiltered appearance. Lemon, herb and floral aromas, very attractive. The wine is bright and fresh, crisp and lively, with a dry finish and brisk acidity. A touch of nuttiness. Honey grew the longer it was in the glass. Struck-flint notes […]
