1/ Domaine Laureau Savennieres Les Genets 2019 - Bt | VNS93
(15% Off) HK$380 ▷ HK$323

The 2019 Les Gênets is a powerful, reductive style of Savennières that has a sense of roundness but remains firm, focused with real drive. Damien Laureau lost 40% of his crop due to spring frosts leading to a concentrated and firm style. Expect mandarin flavors alongside red grapefruit. It's a powerful, intense wine from vines planted on sand over schist.

2/ Tawse Quarry Road Chardonnay, Vinemount Ridge VQA 2019 - Bt | Jamie Goode 94
(15% Off) HK$305 ▷ HK$260

This is the biggest Chardonnay block. Windy site. This is fresh and lively with bright pear and citrus fruit, with good acidity and a fine spiciness. It’s very bright and focused: there’s some mid-palate richness but also good acidity. There’s a bit of structure, too. The oak is really well integrated.

3/ Anthony Thevenet Morgon Cuvee Vieilles Vignes 2020 - Bt
(15% Off) HK$285 ▷ HK$242

This medium-bodied wine elegantly combines plummy, fruity, and spicy flavors. The layered nose offers cherry, raspberry and leather, reflected on the complex palate of ripe red fruit, black cherry, pepper, and subtle spice. A well-crafted, serious expression of the varietal.

4/ Domaine de la Noblaie Pierre de Tuf 2018 - Bt | RP93
(15% Off) HK$250 ▷ HK$213

The 2018 Chinon Pierre de Tuf comes from two plots planted on "cornuelles" (flint clay) in 1947 and 1953. Macerated for several weeks in an ancient vat carved into limestone in the 15th century, aged in 500-liter oak barrels for 14 months and for another four months in tank, this is an enormously concentrated yet finessed and elegant, even charming Cabernet Franc with beautiful freshness without being all too vibrant. The nose shows perfectly ripe and elegant, spicy and limestone-driven fruit, and on the palate, this is a highly elegant pairing of finesse and silk with ripeness and concentration. A fabulous Chinon that is not built on power but on intensity and finesse! Tasted in June 2021.
