It brings instant pleasure & a smile, for the rose petal aromas are so lifting, so pure & delightful. A wonderful expression of Andre's sensitive handling of fruit (and of biodynamic viticulture perhaps). It recalls the Edwardian scented soaps of Floris, Jermyn Street, while the medium bodied palate is as clear as a mountain burn, so juicy, yet dry even at 35 grams of residual sugar
- the biodynamics accentuating the minerality & acidity of the wine to balance out the natural grape sweetness, & rendering them incredibly drinkable.

The result is an uncommonly full-bodied & structured Pinot Blanc, yet dry. It exhales fresh & fruity aromas of yellow peaches & nectarine. A hint of hazelnut comes out with air. The mouth is thick & tense by a nice minerality. ...

For a few years now they've acceded, with this wine justly regarded as one of the finest Pinot Gris in all Alsace! It's noticeably paler & finer than the Zellberg Pinot Gris, less fruity yet more mineral. This is due to a patch of limestone located within the Grand Cru, which, combined with the volcanic & pink sandstone soils gives great, airy elegance & fresh detail to the wine. A wine of immense poise. ...

The pink stone & granitic Heissenberg (the 'hot mountain') soil imparts richly smoky fruit, a fuller more alcoholic impact, notes of orange peel & clove, that reminds one of Zind Humbrecht's St. Urbain Rangan de Thann in character. The heat in the vineyard during summer can be suffocating, says Andre, yielding slightly lower acidity, more peach power & mandarin, with syrupy intensity. Impressive but needs more time to come round. ...

Riesling with minerality & flesh respectively. Still a baby, everything under wraps, held ever so tightly, yet the latent power, poise & angelic shape of this wine is discernible. Defined by a dry, salty backdrop that Andre searches for, as evidence of deep-rooted minerality (and encouraged by biodynamic viticulture). ...

A pale salmon coloured rose. On the nose this wine is floral but there are hints of spice which follow through to the palate. The palate combines volume & freshness in equal measure & the satisfying finish will leave you wanting more. ...

£126.70
Attractively aromatic, rich dry Sauvignon showing the fruit character of fully ripe grapes. Exotic fruits in abundance on the nose & just a hint of mint. On the pallet, it's fresh & tangy & the finish is fruity & moreish. ...

This wine is bright yellow in colour with perfumed white flowers & stone fruit on the nose. The palate is medium to full-bodied, with lively citrus acidity & flavours of fruit salad including melon, peach & a hint of pineapple. The finish is minerally & long with the fresh acidity nicely balancing the full fruit. ...

£205.92
Bright golden yellow in colour with melon & citrus fruits on the nose & a smooth, round palate that has all the minerality that comes with classic white Burgundy. The St Vran is an elegant, crisp wine balanced by full body & a long fine finish. ...
Available
£102.74
Delicate, brioche perfumes on the nose, characteristic of long, slow ageing on the lees. The mousse is fine, delicate & long-lasting, with the brut dosage evident in the fresh but round finish. The length, brioche complexity & finesse of bubbles on the palate are all characteristic of high-quality Champagnes which are made by the same method as this wine. ...

Not a shy dry wine at nearly 14%, it's packed with flighty, tiny berries/mirabelles, floral complexity and intrigue. The palate though, as with Clos Ste Hune, gives nothing away, being tightly coiled, compact, in a shell! You'll need to wait till closer to 2020 to reap the rewards of this prodigious wine. Hold tight!
