Hattingley Valley Classic Reserve NV
This flagship cuvée embodies Hattingley’s signature house style. More than four years’ ageing in the bottle and barrel fermentation result in delicate aromas of orchard and citrus fruits, combined with rich notes of creamy nougat and brioche.
Savigny-Les-Beaune 'Vieilles Vignes' Blanc, Domaine Benoit Girardin 2023
"A more unusual white offering from Savigny, this cuvée is sourced from 35-year-old vines on limestone soils, lending it a taut minerality and cool-climate freshness. The nose is floral with subtle hints of white pepper and lime zest, while the palate combines structure, good acidity, and bright citrus notes, making it a lively, elegant wine." Our note Son of Yves and nephew of Vincent, Benoit Girardin has steadily carved out his own reputation and is already turning heads in the Parisian restaurant scene. 2023 was a standout vintage for Girardin, delivering both quantity and quality. While white yields were typical, the reds saw an unprecedented abundance. The whites were harvested first, beginning on September 7th, with the reds following on September 10th. Whites show a harmonious balance between sugar and acidity, with greater maturity and slightly softer acidity compared to 2022. The reds are all 100% destemmed with no fining or filtration, while the whites retain purity and definition with meticulous filtration.
