Greatest in Present, 97 factors
(11%), 100% Sémillon
Those that lengthy for freshness, restraint and petite shapeliness in white wine paired with a bracingly acidic palate shouldn’t confine their search to the northern hemisphere’s high-latitude wines.

(14%), 100% Gamay
In contrast with its different 9 Beaujolais cru friends, Fleurie isn’t ‘essentially the most’ of something – besides, that’s, of allure. The beautiful identify, too, guarantees a beguiling scent. This heady in addition to head-turning mixture is typically arduous to stay as much as in follow, however not right here. This wine is a darkish, opaque black-red, and from the second you dip your nostril into the glass, you’ll discover all the flower-fruited raise you count on, allied to flavours which fill the mouth with brilliant cherry and plum however achieve this in a manner which by no means calls both allure or scent into query. The wine’s weight is all fruit, too, with tissue-soft tannins, and the cherries and plums themselves proceed to evoke blossom as a lot as juicy, spurting flesh on the palate.
