Domaine Heywang Klevener de Heiligenstein Le Vin des 3 Montagnes 2023

Heywang is one of the few places to discover the rare savagnin rose grape under the tiny appellation klevener of Heiligenstein. Also found occasionally in neighbouring Jura, it is a pink skinned mutation of the Savagnin grape, itself the parent of Gewurztraminer, but without the pong of roses! This dry, textured version comes from 45-year-old vines in the terroir of Au, an ancient dry moor of flinty sandstone. Lemon, apricot blossom, kumquat and Asian pear aromas lead to a palate of mineral freshness, somewhere between Chablis and a mountain white from Savoie.

C Da Silva Dalva 10-Year-Old Tawny Port, Porto

From an estate which boasts white and Tawny ports as its specialities, this is a blend of very old wines aged in oak barrels with younger cuvées to give an average age of 10 years old. Mixing deep complexity with fresh acidity beautifully, it gives raisins, ripe peach and almonds with a slightly spicy finish.

Anne-Sophie Dubois Fleurie l’Cocottes 2024, Beaujolais

Anne-Sophie is a rising star of the new wave of producers in Beaujolais, bringing out the potential of her high-altitude vineyards with a meticulous organic approach. Les Cocottes is her early release primeur made with whole bunches in a closed vat to preserve aroma and juicy fruit. This sings from the glass with all the positive emotion of spring, light on its feet and racy. To enjoy immediately.
