Château Coutet, Opalie de Coutet 2020
On the palate the Opalie is lush yet bright, balancing creamy texture with vibrant acidity. Flavours of grapefruit, lemon zest, and stone fruits like peach and apricot are well-defined, leading to a long, mineral-driven finish with a whisper of oak from subtle barrel aging. This wine pairs excellently with seafood, poultry, creamy cheeses, or dishes with fresh herbs, and it should age gracefully, adding complexity as it matures. Opalie de Château Coutet is an alternative expression of Sémillon and Sauvignon in a fine dry white wine. Another vision of the clay-limestone soil of Barsac, traditionally known for its sweet wines, another balance to reveal its minerality. The grapes come from vines with an average age of 45 years, grown in selected plots.
Coteaux Bourguignons blanc 'En Bollery', Domaine d'Alussia 2023
An address on a new trajectory and definitely a name to watch - we are excited to introduce Domaine d'Alussia for the first time to Honest Grapes club members. Winemaker Alexandra Wilson joined the domaine in August 2024, bringing valuable experience from her time with Benjamin Leroux and, before that, fellow Australian winemaker Jane Eyre. The team also benefits from the expertise of Bernard Zito, a renowned consultant and specialist in organic and biodynamic viticulture, aptly described by Winehog's Steen Öhman as “ The Swiss Army knife of the Burgundy wine world. ” The domaine combines its own vineyards with contracts from trusted growers, offering a diverse range of wines. Notable holdings include a vineyard in Aloxe-Corton near the winery and three Premier Cru sites: Savigny-lès-Beaune, Pommard, and a prized 0.3-hectare plot in Puligny-Montrachet ‘Les Referts'. The Coteaux Bourguignons blanc 'En Bollery' is from a plot by Clos Vougeot, and was aged in steel and new oak and sandstone.
