Champagne René Jolly Blanc de Blancs
This indulgent Champagne is hand-crafted by Pierre-Eric Jolly at the winery his family have owned since 1737. Revel in roasted nut and lively citrus aromas with a rich, beautifully smooth finish.
Mercurey Blanc Premier Cru 'Les Veleys', Domaine François Raquillet 2021
Widely considered the best producer of the village (and among the leaders of the region), Francois has been harvesting his 12ha (8 planted to red and 4 to white) of increasingly old vines, some 70 years+, at the end of August for the last six years so is far less concerned by climate change than many Côte d’Or growers to the north. In fact the Chalonnaise has been a beneficiary of the hotter, drier weather as it has helped reduce yields, and increase concentration and ripeness in the grapes, ultimately leading to richer, more gourmand, and delicious wines.
