Domaine Alain Voge |
Saint-Peray Fleur de Crussol |
Ripe and lush, with creamed melon, peach and pear flavors that glide through, gilded with heather, brioche and lemon peel notes. Features a buttered edge but also lift from a honeysuckle accent. There's lots to like here. Drink now through 2020. 500 cases made. |

Bodega Cuarto Dominio |
Blancat Estate Vineyard Selection |
What a really exciting nose with citrus, crushed stones, oyster shell, orange rind, raspberries and cedar. A touch of reduction. The palate is very lithe and tightly framed with compact, soft tannins, bright acidity and a tangy finish. Drink now. |

Champagne Jean Laurent |
Blanc de Blancs Millesime |
This crisp, textured wine still offers great freshness. Its acidity and taut white fruits are zesty, hinting at toastiness and with a fine texture. It is an elegant wine, ready to drink. |

Champagne Jacquart |
Blanc de Blancs Brut |
A blend of Grand Cru fruit, this well-structured wine is rich while also tense, mineral and with further aging potential. Citrus acidity is allied to crisp apples to produce the fruity side of this well balanced wine. It will be better from 2020. |

Champagne Jacquart |
Cuvee Alpha |
With lower than the standard dosage in the Jacquart range, this wine shows off its rich, maturing fruit. A strong line of minerality comes from the 52% of Chardonnay in the blend of grand and premier cru wines. Drink now, or, even better, wait until 2020. |
