Domaine Jean Royer |
Chateauneuf-du-Pape 'Tradition' |
Sleek and fresh, with cassis and plum puree notes that shimmer prettily as they race through, lined with light lavender, dried anise and singed alder hints along the way. Showing nice range, this is approachable already, though there's no rush. Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre and Cinsault. Drink now through 2034. |

Sauvignon Blanc Crownthorpe |
From New Zealand’s Hawke’s Bay, this Sauvignon Blanc smells like passion fruit, grapefruit, and bell pepper. It has a wonderful balance of fruit and acidity, with a salinity that runs through. It’s a balanced and delicious Savvy B. |

Domaine Vauroux |
Chablis 1er Cru Montmains |
In this wine, lemon and green-apple flavors are edged with hints of dried orange peel and hazelnuts. While ripe on the palate, it maintains a steely, sharply honed edge and delicately salty, chalky finish that grounds it firmly to Chablis. It’s ready now but should drink well through 2035. |

Domaine Seguinot-Bordet |
Chablis 1er Cru Fourchaume |
Red apple and yellow-cherry flavors dazzle in this fresh-fruited, full-bodied Chablis. It’s a juicy sip brightened by lemon-lime acidity and a lingering, chalky finish. Irresistible young, the wine should hold through 2030. |

Domaine Seguinot-Bordet |
Chablis |
This juicy, thirst-quenching Chardonnay highlights crisp green-apple and lemon flavors lifted by streaks of lime acidity and steely minerality. Medium bodied and zesty, this approachable but elegant dry white would enhance anything from french fries to oysters on the half shell. Best enjoyed young. |

Valdobbiadene Prosecco Brut |
Botanical herb, hawthorn and citrus aromas lead the way. Vibrant and dry, the palate offers ripe pear, green melon and lemon alongside crisp acidity and a lively perlage. |

Primitivo Appassito 'Imprint' |
Well-concentrated aromas of cherry jam, tilled earth, eucalyptus and violet make for a solid representation of the variety. It’s plush and juicy on the medium-bodied palate, with broad berry-jam flavors all wrapped in creamy, silken tannins. Accents of tar and violet bring added depth to this well-priced Primitivo.

Pinot Noir |
A smoky aroma leads to punchy red- and black-cherry flavors and wood char on the palate. The wine’s texture, in contrast, is smooth and silky, calming the smoke and showing light tannins. Best Buy. |
