Domaine Ferret Pouilly-Fuisse Organic 2023 75cl
£43.49
Probably the finest Pouilly-Fuisse producer that we have encountered, whose wines have that mineral edge more typical of Chassagne, Puligny, etc This comes from a variety of vineyards surrounding the village of Fuisse It has an immediate approachability, with the Domaine s hallmark tension and zestiness still in evidence - a thrilling balance There is an understated oakiness, a slight flintiness on the nose, then honeyed ripeness and creamy texture in the mouth, complemented by bright acidity

Louis Michel Chablis Grand Cru Vaudesir 2023 75cl
£76.19
Grand Cru Vaudesir is truly one of the profound white wines of Burgundy, and yet it costs the same as a simple 'village' Meursault Louis Michel's vines are in the lower part of the Grand Cru vineyard, and therefore yield fabulous 'puissance', richness and concentration, underpinned by the region's hallmark dryness There are hints of buttered brioche and gorse flower, alongside rhubarb and acacia flower Remember, this is fermented and aged exclusively in stainless steel, so these flavours come entirely from the site, the fruit and the fermentation - no 'artificial flavour' from oak barrels It demands keeping at least a couple of years, and will age gracefully for a decade or longer
