Gardet Cuvée Tradition Saint Flavy Brut Champagne
VINTAGES#: 924654, $45.95 SHOP
"This is a fine, friendly, fruit-driven Champagne with mild croissant and almond complexity around freshly baked apple. It is light to mid-weight with active mousse, just a hint of sweetness and very good acidity. The length is very good to excellent. An easy, well-priced reception Champagne that also has some class. Score: 90 Pts." - David Lawrason, winealign.com, Nov. 2, 2018.
Vignerons de Buxy Buissonnier Montagny 2017
VINTAGES#: 382879, $19.95 SHOP
Montagny produces only white wines, which possess noted elegance, balance and structure. You can expect this example to offer the area's characteristic honeysuckle, lemon, peach, apple, ripe pear and hazelnut tones, with a fine underpinning minerality. This is one of the great value regions of Burgundy, and this wine will develop and evolve for 5+ years. Pair with steamed seafood.
Bailly Lapierre Réserve Brut Crémant de Bourgogne
VINTAGES#: 991562, $19.95 SHOP
Sourced from the heart of the Auxerre district, this Burgundian bubbly displays attractive apple and citrus, with a delicate toast tone. Crisp and refreshing, it will be a great pairing for seafood.
La Chablisienne Les Vénérables Vieilles Vignes Chablis 2016
VINTAGES#: 215525, $27.95 SHOP
Old vines (vieilles vignes) produce less fruit, so the wines are more concentrated and flavourful. This classic, steely Chablis features aromas of sweet apple, mineral and citrus. Ideal for grilled white fish, as well as oysters on the half shell.
Rapaura Springs Reserve Sauvignon Blanc 2019
VINTAGES#: 388421, $21.95 SHOP
"A splendid rendition of the variety; the intensely aromatic bouquet shows passionfruit, kaffir lime, feijoa and green rockmelon characters, leading to a concentrated palate that offers fabulous fruit purity and vibrancy. The wine is gorgeously fruited and youthfully charming, packed with delicious flavours, finishing impressively long and zesty. At its best: now to 2022. Score: 95 Pts." - Sam Kim, wineorbit.co.nz, July 2019.
