Power, finesse, succulence, and striking acidity... Pair with delicate crab meat and relish in the experience.
Meyer-Fonné
France | Alsace | Alsace
Félix Meyer’s old-vine Pinot Blanc from the slopes of Katzenthal, in Alsace, has long overdelivered in the role of the proverbial “crisp white” for which we long.

This white, raised in demi-muids with malolactic fermentation, flamboyantly shows off the affinity of ripe Vermentinu grapes with a judicious use of wood.

At first, it is streamlined, saline, and full of lemon. Then the granite terroir kicks in...
Comtesse de Chérisey

De Cherisey produces classic Chardonnay that seems as if from a different time. White Burgundy like this doesn’t come around very often.

This unfiltered bottling from the excellent 2020 vintage—a more classic, sun-filled year than that fateful 2002—is one of the best editions to date.
Bernard Baudry
France | Loire | Chinon
A textbook Chinon like this merits simple, rustic cuisine such as roast game, baked potatoes, and sautéed porcini mushrooms.
Bernard Baudry
France | Loire | Chinon
This cuvée comes from their highest vineyard, which rests on a plateau of gravel, sand, and limestone, and it is arguably their best entry point into the charm of Loire Valley Cabernet Franc, lithe and less dense than the bottlings from their clay-and-limestone terroirs.
Éric Chevalier
France | Loire | Vin de Pays du Val de Loire
Some wines deliver well beyond expectations—this is one of them.
