Intense ruby red with violet reflections. Strong floral notes of violet and rose emerge on the nose, followed by pleasant hints of cherry, peach, herbs and sweet spices. In the mouth, excellent structure, fine tannins, accompanied by a mineral trace and a nice freshness of the fruit.

Winemaker Notes, 

Produced with the RIPASSO technique deliberately applied in a more restrictive way than the production specifications, it is obtained by passing the Valpolicella Classico over the Amarone pomace only once. The result is an authentic local wine that elegantly displays a beautiful complexity of fruity aromas and spicy tones well supported by good acidity and the right alcohol content.

93 Points, James Suckling (review for 2020 vintage)

This is packed tight with a concentrated, silky bead of ripe red berries and red cherries that drives through the palate, until fine, quite firm tannins block its path right at the end. Medium-bodied, but the concentration of fruit makes it feel heavier. Lots of energy here, but balance, too. Delicious now. Even better after another year in bottle. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

Winemaker Notes

Laurent Miquel produces elegant wines in his family vineyards high in the Languedoc hills of Southern France. He harvests at night when temperatures are cooler to ensure the delicate grapes are gathered under perfect conditions. Laurent represents a new generation of winemakers combining his ancestors’ wisdom with his innovative approach and an inflexible focus on quality. Working in harmony with nature, he creates wines of character which reflect the Languedoc’s inimitable style.

This is light, crisp and steely with a cascade of citrus notes flooding in. Lemon, lime, Fiji pear and apple bounce around together. There is a creamy mouthfeel with a hint of banana which makes this a great midweek refresher.

90 Points, Decanter

It’s hard to pick just one of the many excellent Viogniers that Laurent Miquel produces around this price point, but for the money this is hard to beat, with its voluptuous white peach and nectarine fruit (harvested at night, as the name of the wine suggests). Enjoy it young and fresh. (previous vintage)

Winemaker Notes 

The Volcanique cuvée is a selection of outstanding barrels from vineyards we work with in the Dundee Hills. The wine showcases the savory quality, the fruit purity, and the fine-grained texture that characterizes the deep, red volcanic clay of these hills. The 2018 is an excellent example, with its delicately floral fruit aromas, silky texture and structural finesse. As with all of our wines, it has the depth and structure to age gracefully for many years.

94 Points, Wine Spectator

Silky and elegantly layered, with raspberry and strawberry blossom notes, which are accented by orange zest and black tea and linger on a polished finish.

PINOT NOIR

Winemaker Notes

This Volnay Premier Cru 2015 reveals a medium ruby colour. The nose shows intense aromas of blackberries, black cherries, blackcurrant, and fruits of the forest along with oak. A good concentration is present on the palate. This Pinot Noir is a structured and balanced red wine with a long finish, that will express all its complexity in a few years as tertiary flavours
develop.

Overlooking Pommard, Volnay spreads its vines on the steep slopes of the Hill of Chaignot. Our Premier Cru comes from a complex alliance of soils, including limestone, calcareous scree and clay. The grapes benefit from a southeasterly exposure.

95 Points, Wine Mag

Complex aromatics of fennel, elderflower, blackcurrant, peach and nectarine while the palate is wonderfully harmonious – good fruit weight, creamy texture, the acidity well integrated. Rich and satisfying

Reviewed by Tim Atkin MW

“A best-ever release of Savage White in a challenging vintage, this is a beautifully judged cuvée of Sauvignon Blanc and 25% Semillon, fermented in 20% new wood. Using fruit from Stellenbosch, the Overberg and Villiersdorp, it has a top note of stony reduction, pithy lemongrass and pink grapefruit flavours, scented, spicy oak and a palate of remarkable tension and energy.” 

This case contains 2 of each wine:

Defaix Chablis 1er Cru Cote de Lechet 2020

Winemaker Notes 

We cultivate 8 hectares of this Premier Cru located on the slopes of the village Milly and on the right backs of the river Serein. We are the biggest owners of this cru. When some of the plots were planted, we found impressive fossils of Exogyra virgula that had been perfectly preserved. The remarkable stony and sunny soil is captured in this powerful and complex wine. It flourishes with age and expresses mineral aromas reminiscent of gunflint. The Côte de Lechet is indeed one of the Premiers Crus of the Chablisian vineyard with the most exceptional ageing potential. To serve with fish or poultry, with white butter or cream sauces.

Giroud Bourgogne Blanc 2019

Maison Camille Giroud is a true négociant, with only 2.7 acres of its own under vine. It’s become known as a dependable source of Burgundy that delivers the best of both worlds — wines that are matured and traditional in style, as well as younger wines that beautifully communicate their terroir. This wine has fresh citrus and tropical notes, well-balanced creaminess, surprising concentration and ripe acidity. Wonderful entry-level bottle of Burgundy that will last a few years.

Dominique Cornin Saint Veran Les Serreuxdieres 2021

This wine is light yellow with pale gold reflections. The nose is exceptionally lively and fresh with notes of citrus fruits and aromatics. On the palate, you will find grapefruit then basil; finally comes freshness and a touch of acidity that ends with a nice minerality.

On the nose, cranberry, persimmon, bay leaf, black pepper and autumn mulch. On the palate, black cherry, boysenberry, cinnamon and hints of clove and earth. Pleasantly firm tannins hold the long finish, which is highlighted by juicy acidity and spice. 

Two Pinot Noir lovers, Adam and Dianna Lee, founded Siduri Wines in 1994. They produced only four and a half barrels of Pinot Noir that first vintage. Now they handcraft over 10,000 cases of Pinot Noir from vineyards ranging from Oregon's Willamette Valley down to the Santa Rita Hills and Santa Lucia Highlands AVAs. Each Pinot Noir is created using gravity flow and minimal intervention, with the goal of reflecting the unique terroir of each particular vineyard. Siduri Wines and its sibling, Novy Family Wines have received the Wine Spectator's New York Wine Experience "Critics Choice" recognition a combined seven times since 2004.

The Melon grape brings the thinness of the bubbles, a salinity and the “minerality” to X Bulles. The Côt brings aromas of raspberry. This combination gives a well-balanced wine between fruits and freshness.
