“Slightly herbal, with strong red fruit notes and a lingering spicy finish. Top stuff for the buck here at under €9!”

“Mineral laden Chardonnay from the Maconnais in far south Burgundy. Crushed gravel, lemon curd, apricot, pineapple, and a touch of vanilla. This is very nicely balanced, elegant Chardonnay. It’s not off the charts in intensity or finish, but there are also no rough edges anywhere. Drink now to 2025”

“It’s a supple and tasteful Saint-Joseph. Lots of fruit, elegant but for me it lacks substance, especially at this price. I prefer the whites of the estate.”
