Domaine Amelie et Charles Sparr, Riesling Grand Cru Schoenenbourg 'Revelation' 2023
Special Offer: Spend £250 or more for a 10% discount Domaine Amelie et Charles Sparr represents the new generation of Alsatian winemaking, bringing fresh energy to their family domaine in Riquewihr. This Schoenenbourg Grand Cru comes from one of Alsace's most prestigious hillside sites, where limestone soils and perfect south-eastern exposure create Rieslings of exceptional purity and longevity. The 2023 'Revelation' captures everything we love about great Alsatian Riesling: that thrilling balance between power and precision, where citrus-bright acidity meets emerging honeyed depth. The Schoenenbourg terroir adds its signature limestone backbone, creating a wine that's both immediately compelling and built for decades in the cellar.
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.
