Sancerre is the “spiritual home” of Sauvignon Blanc. It’s considered to be the purest expression of Sauvignon Blanc on the planet and a wine we love for its versatility when it comes to food. It pairs well with light green salads and Crottin de Chavignol goat cheese of course, but Sancerre comes to life alongside vibrant fish dishes like seafood thai curry.
This wine comes from 25+ year old vines that are sustainably farmed in clay-limestone and chalk soils. It’s vinified in stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness.
Atalier is the exciting new Rías Baixas Albariño project from the redoubtable Raúl Pérez, and this wine is nothing short of explosive. It leaps out of the glass with aromas of oyster shell and etherized granite and follows through with a palate rich in marine-inflected yellow and green fruits and sporting a powerful surge of acidity.
Fermented and aged in large, neutral French oak foudres. The oxygenation that occurs during this élevage gives the wine a softer, rounder entry that balances out the razor-sharp acidity. Biodynamic and organic.
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.
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.
