It feels luscious and exotic yet incredibly lively, like if a papaya got struck by lightning.
Château d’Épiré
France | Loire | Savennières
Electrically vibrant yet succulent, this glorious Chenin Blanc is one of the most versatile wines I know, sippable on its own or widely food-friendly—no forethought is necessary except for chilling the bottle.
Thierry Germain
France | Loire | Saumur
This chiseled Chenin Blanc comes from 70-year-old vines planted on an ancient limestone slope. Burgundian-like in character from its time spent in barrel, the laser-like acidity will become even more enticing with some age.

France | Alsace | Alsace
That grapes can be cajoled and fashioned to make such a liquid is miraculous. This aroma is beyond belief.
Albert Boxler
France | Alsace | Alsace
Earthy Pinot Gris as dramatic and flinty as this, with a hint of residual sugar, demands an assertive pairing; try it with smoked sausage and mustard.
