| 17 Alain Gras Saint-Romain Blanc Powerful and sophisticated nose, with a hint of nuts, toast and vanilla beans. Expressive palate, full and supple. A wine with minerality, an elegant touch of oak, and a beautiful, long finish.(available: 7) | 41.99 |

| 20 Bechtold Engelberg Riesling This shows some body, but its great acidity tightens it around the waist, while white raspberry, quinine, jasmine and papaya mingle at the core. Its spiciness characterizes the long finish. It's a wine that is still very intense and alive, so I would recommend keeping it in the cellar for a few more years, although you won't regret opening a bottle now.

| 21 Chateau d'Esclans Rock Angel Rose A very pure and incisive nose, with refined mineral chalkiness to the fresh strawberry and grapefruit aromas. Again, pure is the word to describe the linear, dry palate, which delivers crisp yet textured acidity, together with elegant, freshly chopped raspberries and strawberries. A truly outstanding rosé here!

| 20 Chateau des Jacques Moulin-a-Vent I love the way this sophisticated Moulin-a-Vent marries the bright red fruit you expect from Beaujolais with savory character and a warm, tannin base that enables it to turn the bright acidity of the gamay grape into a major asset. Long, complex finish with depth and energy in near-perfect balance.

| 20 Chateau Haut-Segottes Dark purple core and hue. Pure and intense aromas of cassis, dark plum, fine oak and toast. Good concentration and polish, finely grained tannin, some oak derived soiciness paired with crushed dark berries, liquorice and cocoa notes leading to a long and meaty finish.

Download label
This small jewel of an estate produces a mere 15,000 bottles of Margaux per annum. We are fortunate to have access to at least 3,600 bottles per year (plus a small number of magnums and double magnums!) of this superb wine. Heavily dependent on Cabernet Sauvignon (at least three-fourths of the cuvée), this wine has a distinguished structure and complex flavors that beg for additional aging in the bottle. The élevage in barrel extends for eighteen months at which point the wine is bottled without filtration.(available: 6) | 50.99 |

| 16 Domaine Bitouzet-Priuer Muersault "Climats de Glace" (Bitouzet blended his Clos du Cromin and Les Corbins for the first time, as production in these two lieux-dits was down by 80% in 2016): Enticing cool aromas of lime and crushed stone. At once dense and juicy, with citrus and spice flavors complicated by a leesy nuance. This broad wine boasts good inner-mouth tension and floral lift. Finishes classically dry and firm, with a note of menthol.

| 22 Domaine Huet Le Haut-Lieu Moelleux The 2022 Le Haut-Lieu Moelleux is a supple, tender style. It's delicate on the palate while succulent and medium-sweet, which is quite a feat. You'll struggle to find many producers in the world who can achieve this balance. It has a fine, delicate fragrance of apple, pear and even a hint of celery. The finish is gentle, with a fine texture lightly coating the palate. A little shorter than I'd like ideally, but still super stuff.

| 21 Domaine Huet Le Mont Sec The 2021 Vouvray Le Mont Sec opens with the classical flinty fruit aromas on the still discreet but again elegant and fascinating, unique nose that is crystal clear, precise, fresh, intense and aromatic, with concentrated quince and lemon aromas intermingled with chalky and even more saline notes. Crystalline, refined and elegant on the palate, this is a full-bodied, tight and complex Vouvray from green marls and silex soils. The wine is still tight and very tensioned, which is great to taste but challenging to drink at this early stage. The finish is pure, citrusy and very mineral, most of all salty and lemon fresh, with fine tannins and a firm, sustainable structure. 13% stated alcohol. Natural cork.

| 21 Domaine Tempier Bandol Lulu et Lucien The Estate’s prominent cuvée blends the discrete strength of Bandol with the elegance and finesse which characterize Tempier. Remarkably fresh and approachable for a region known for brawn. Perfectly balanced, delicious with a slight chill; wonderfully perfumed of sandalwood and spring blossoms.
In 2020 Mrs Lucie Peyraud, better known as Lulu, passed away soon after the harvest, at the age of 103. She joined her husband Lucien in ‘Winemakers’ Paradise.’ To express gratitude to these renowned persons of the domain (and the region), the family decided to rename their basic "Classique" cuvée to "Lulu & Lucien" upon release of the 2020 red wines. This name will no doubt live on in the years to come.(available: 11) | 60.99 |

Full-bodied and concentrated, it's also supple and silky in feel, with a ripe, harmonious feel and a lingering finish. It's a testament to the Guigals' relationships in the appellation that this is one of their most delicious and consistent bottlings.

| 21 Guy Breton Chiroubles Cuvee Lea Chiroubles sits in the middle of the vertical band of the ten Beaujolais crus and represents the highest-altitude cru. Its elevation and cooler temperatures mean that grapes ripen more slowly and often produce wines that are among the least concentrated of the region. Guy’s Chiroubles is floral and succulent, bursting with notes of little red berries, but it is also delicate and light on its feet. It serves as a phenomenal counterpoint to some of the more structured Gamays that we import from Beaujolais.(available: 4) | 39.99 |
|
| 21 Guy Breton Fleurie Rouge Long, cold macerations are just one of the signature techniques that stylistically set Max Breton’s Beaujolais apart from those of his peers. And while I’m loath to always compare his wines to the others in the Gang of Four, I’m forever drawn to understanding what makes each unique. His Fleurie is delicate, with buffed tannins and juicy fruit; it will leave your thirst slaked and your heart feeling light.
