White Winter

Nicolas Joly

Clos de la Coulée de Serrant Savennières Chenin Blanc 2020

This remains one of the greatest white dry wines of France although probably not for everybody. Every year is a surprise and that inconsistency can be off-putting. Golden color, medium weight, quite high in alcohol (14.5) and cloudy. Long burn, apricot, dried raisins, apple and pineapple. — 9 days ago

Dom Pérignon

Altum Villare Brut Champagne Blend 2013

The Dom Pérignon Vintage 2013 Brut is simply exceptional. With an elegant nose that unfolds notes of white fruits, citrus, and delicate toasted nuances, it invites you to delve into its complexity. On the palate, its silky texture and fine bubbles give way to flavors of pear, apple, and toasted almond, with a subtle hint of vanilla. Its persistent finish leaves a lasting and memorable impression. In summary, a champagne experience that captivates the senses and delights the palate. — 8 days ago

Sir Winston Churchill Brut Champagne 2008

A tad off. Better to have let it sit another 10. This champagne is so lovely when it gets dense. Tight small bubbles but not as sweet as normal. Might have just been a bad bottled. — 7 days ago

Domaine François Raveneau

Montée de Tonnerre Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2013

Not sure there are better 13 whites than Raveneau. Lafon also comes to mind. It’s an early drinking vintage (by Raveneau standards) while you wait for 12 and 14. Also, no Chapelot this year so it’s blended in here. A multi hour advance decant has it rocking, stunningly aromatic, soaring with layers of créme fraîche, baking spice, crushed stones and a whisper of botrytis influenced saffron. The palate shows immense power, concentration and depth of waxy yellow fruit chiseled with Chablisen minerality. Brilliant tension and racy lemony acids provide a seamless balance to its power and richness. MDT always hits 🫰🏻 — 20 days ago

Sauternes Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend 2009

In a beautiful spot. Went great with Bananas Foster. The wine tastes of crème brûlée with a hint of orange peel and apricot. — 6 days ago

Chateau Montelena

Napa Valley Chardonnay 2021

I don’t know why it’s taken so long to try this bottling. I have missed out all these years. Clean purity of fruit mild depth at this early age and just plain exciting. Definitely worth the wait — 19 days ago
