Domaine Reverdy-Ducroux traces its roots back to 1550 and is now shining as bright as ever under 14th generation winemaker Laurent Ducroux. Laurent has transformed the historic estate to best capture the individual essence of each of their distinct 70 micro-plots and his work has paid off big time. The estate gained enormous popularity in 1970s French Michelin dining scene and became the go-to restaurant white in some of the top spots around the world.
This wine a special non-vintage bottling from Domaine Reverdy-Ducroux that features mainly fruit from the 2021 and 2021 vintages. It comes from a special vineyard along the Loire river with distinct Silex soils, that locals call “rocks”. It’s an energetic expression with clean citrus notes and an overwhelming freshness. It’s much more mineral-driven than any other wine from Reverdy-Ducroux lineup as it is the famous Silex soil that gives this one its chalky minerality.

“A tasty mix of crisp apple and warm butter and vanilla flavors highlight this medium-bodied and silky textured wine from one of Anderson Valley’s well-established producers. Pippin apple and lemon notes complement the buttery richness.” – Jim Gordon

Almondo Roero Arneis Bricco delle Ciliegie Le Rive (Gold Label) is made from the estate’s oldest single plot of vines within the already heralded Bricco Delle Ciliegie (hill of cherries). This is only the third vintage of this label but it’s already considered by many to be one of the best white wines in all of Italy. Juicy peaches, pears, and a hint of almonds on the nose. The mouth is dense and fleshy, full of bright fruit, minerality and salinity notes with a touch of spice that’s the highlight of a finish that lingers and lingers in the best way. An absolute treat.
I’m lucky to have a few cases of this instant classic, immaculate and complex, this is a wonderfully pure expression of Chardonnay that is so distinctly Jermann. His extraordinary, multi-layered, extract-loaded whites are landmarks of contemporary winemaking. This one has a lot of nuance and depth, and finishes strongly with what Wine Spectator called, “A streak of tangy salinity.”
The sandy soil of north Piemonte is home to the appellation Roero and the indigenous variety, Arneis. Stefano Almondo is a master of the rare variety, crafting aromatic and mineral wines that rival any of the best white wines in Italy. The newly released 2021 Vigne Sparse dazzles right out of the bottle; floral and fruity with juicy peaches and apricots yet with a chalky mineral streak as well. As always, it’s such a complex white and the kicker is its finish which goes on for a minute of pure joy.
