Winemaker Charles #Philipponnat Philipponnat is not looking to create the avant-garde; he is about classic #Champagnes with finesse. And he hits his mark. #ClosDesGoisses #winemaking thewineindependent.com/articles/phili…

One of Lisa Perrotti-Brown's first tastings of the Napa 2022s with Scott Becker & Benoit Touquette #RealmCellars, because they’ve pushed their #2022releases out early and because their range tends to be a telling litmus test of what can be expected of the vintage. bit.ly/4ediDKq

A few highlights from today’s tasting of Pouilly-Fumé, all of which will be written up on The Wine Independent as soon as I am able. Some very good wines here, in what were challenging vintages (22, 23 & 24). #pouillyfume #sauvignonblanc #loire #wine

Superb retrospective of Domaine de la Noblaie’s top white, La Part des Anges, from 2003 through to 2022, done. A great, honest tasting, with every vintage (except 2006 - all sold!) included. Will be writing up for The Wine Independent ASAP. #chinon #donainedelanoblaie #cheninblanc #wine



This week, Chris Kissack spotlights a #Graves white that quietly stands apart: #ChateauRahoul Graves Blanc 2020. A #Semillon-led blend shaped by fresh thinking, patient hands & vineyard history dating to 1646. #bordeauxwine thewineindependent.com/articles/weeke…

A rare #LoireValley sparkler with serious age: François & Julien Pinon’s 1990 #Vouvray Brut Tendre. Chris Kissack opens this old cuvée & contrasts its brilliance with a 1967 Loire travel book that barely scratches the surface of Vouvray’s true story. bit.ly/44q8xlW
