The 2022 has a sweet nose with summery whiffs of peach and apricot, a silky mid-palate, and a lovely citrus and mineral finish.

In this bottling from Yves Leccia, Grenache takes center stage, offering fragrant notes of lavender spiced with balmy Mediterranean brush.

It fills the mouth with suspicions of honeysuckle and pulpy stone fruits, all while maintaining classic notes of iodine and sea breeze that make this the vinous equivalent of tidepooling.

No need to wait for the perfect moment to enjoy a bottle; popping the cork on their Blanc de Blancs is a special occasion unto itself!

A terroir-driven rosé redolent of a Provençal summer with notes of thyme and white peach, and a mouthwateringly salty finish.

This Sylvaner, from high in the Dolomites, is a finely channeled mountain breeze, an exercise in textural delicacy that will leave your palate tingling with the sensation of crispy minerals.

This bottle gives some of my favorite grand cru Rieslings a run for their money with a nose evoking peach skin and pear and a palate that ripples with fresh acidity.

Whatever snacks are on your table or picnic blanket, this blanc will fit the bill with its pretty notes of green apple, citrus, and subtle tropical fruits.

Aligoté may actually be an even more precise conduit for Burgundian terroir than Chardonnay.

An opulent, mouth-filling expression of granitic terroir, this bottling has the delicate floral nuances and fine-grained tannin that differentiates Fleurie from the other crus.

A biodynamic, orange-zesty, multifaceted masterpiece from the most ancient growing region on the island.

This exquisite Muscadet is a perfect reflection of where it originates, as if it’s been sculpted by winds off the ocean and infused with hints of sea salt in the air.

Soaring with aromas of brioche and praline, this lush and luxurious bottling sets the benchmark for Crémants everywhere.

Sleek, crisp, light, and luminous, with a steely, saline finish.

A fleshy and savory unfiltered Vermentino from northern Sardinia.

When you smell it, keep in mind that no other wine, besides a Melon de Bourgogne grown in the gabbro soil of Gorges, could possibly smell like this one does.

The Lumpp style is on full display with this beauty: open-knit, fruit-forward, silky, and seductive Pinot Noir beckons.

Gorges boasts an incredible texture and tension imparted by decomposed, blue-green igneous rock, seventy-year-old vines, and years-long aging on the lees.

A stunning value from one of Chablis’ oldest premier cru vineyards, with a lovely mouthful of stone fruit and hint of lemongrass.

Displaying both the oyster shell quality we love about Chablis and the sunny orchard fruit notes that make Bourgogne blancs so delicious.

It’s both inviting––it makes for a lovely apéritif––and angular, prime to accompany lemony pasta dishes, clams, or flavorful and rich vegetarian lasagnas.

Savor it while you can, because your glass will be empty before you know it, leaving you only with the spicy, mineral-laden aftertaste of a bottle that went down way too easily.

The wine’s salinity finds balance with a delightfully tart note of lemon rind.

Supremely crisp and mineral, this is an ideal representation of this coastal region and perfect for seafood.

Ethereal and bright, with the notes of cherry and earth that get red-Burgundy lovers’ hearts racing.

A single-vineyard bottling whose age lends a soft, drawn butter richness to its bright, tart citrus palate.

Beautiful perfume of orange blossom, very fine with an incredibly soft mousse.

The uncommon location and treatment capture a different face of this very familiar variety, deep and mouth-filling yet carrying a bracing jolt of limey acidity.

This low-alcohol, youthful bianco has a subtle, chalky texture you might find in much pricier French Chablis.
