Dubourdieu, Clos Floridène Graves Blanc 2020
Clos Floridène vineyard, in Pujols sur Ciron, located in the Graves region, has been slowly developed since 1982 by Denis and Florence Dubourdieu, thanks to the successive purchases of plots located in the best terroirs. The name of the estate is derived from the two founders' first names. Clos Floridène Blanc has the particularities of white wines produced on great calcareous soils: green-gold colour, intense aroma with fruity notes of white peach, lemon, grapefruit, toasted and grilled nuances. Powerful and fresh flavours of fruit at its best, with the density and structure of a great white wine.
Mercurey Blanc 'La Brigadière', Domaine François Raquillet 2019
Mercurey Blanc La Brigadière 2019 from François Raquillet is generous and expressive, with ripe orchard fruit, citrus, and a touch of hazelnut from careful oak ageing. The palate is rounded and textured, balanced by a fresh mineral streak that keeps everything lively. A white that’s both easy to enjoy now and serious enough to surprise you with its depth. Who’s the greatest under-the-radar producer in Burgundy? While a few names in the Côte d’Or come to mind, look a little further south to Mercurey and you’ll find François Raquillet making some of the most exciting wines around - their bottles deserve a spot in any serious Burgundy lover’s cellar.
