Bright and expressive, this Godello opens with aromas of white flowers, wild herbs, and a hint of smoky minerality. The palate is fresh and textured, unfolding layers of white peach, salted grapefruit, and a whisper of anise. Balanced acidity and a subtle bitterness on the finish mark it as a classic expression of this rare varietal that graces the Iberian peninsula.
Pair with: Grilled shrimp in a citrus-herb marinade with toasted hazelnuts, or roasted turkey with peach-fennel stuffing and creamy polenta to echo the wine’s vibrant fruit and savory undertones.
sustainable farming practices, hand-harvested, native yeast fermentation
Fruit for this 1er cru White Burgundy comes from the highest vineyard site in Maranges (avg. 30 years in age). This is a sneaky premier cru that I think would keep an eye on. It may be the best valued Burgundy on the market.
Organic farming practices, hand-harvested, native yeast fermentation and aged for 12 months in barrel.

This Brut Tradition Grand Cru is the heart and soul of what the Delavenne’s do. Jean-Christophe describes this wine as the “embodiment of the Delavenne house tradition,” and we couldn’t think of a better bottle to elevate any dinner party, weeknight happy hour, or gathering amongst close friends.
Organic/biodynamic farming practices, native yeast fermentation, and less than 2,000 cases produced annually.
