White Wines from France
White Burgundy
Chablis "1er Cru Les Fourchaumes, Vieilles Vignes", Domaine Laroche, Burgundy, FR, 2021
A silky width but not a very open width of aroma. Super in the mouth, direct yet still with width – properly mineral but without any sharp or hard edges – faintly of the barrel in the middle and finishing flavors – super wine.

Champagne
Champagne "Demi Sec", Veuve Clicquot, Reims, FR, NV
James Suckling 91Pts.
Aromas of jasmine, almonds, vanilla, tarte tatin & poached pears. Excellent balance, with a medium body, soft bubbles & bright acidity. So clean, you almost forget about the sweetness. Blend of pinot noir with chardonnay & meunier.

Beautiful aromas of lime curd dried pear grilled white peach & flint on the nose. So exotic on the nose. Some cream & honey too. It’s medium-bodied with bright tangy acidity. Creamy & focused with lingering dried-citrus and crushed-gravel notes
