With this gloomy and drenched summer in full swing, there is no better time to reach for a refreshing glass of white wine. From crisp, vibrant Aligoté to beautifully textured and age-worthy Chardonnay, we have handpicked a selection to help you savour the season in style.
To kick things off, we have two standout Aligotés from the revered Sylvain Cathiard and Domaine Roulot. Bright, vibrant and refreshing, these bottles make perfect companions for leisurely weekend brunches in this hot Summer.
For Burgundy enthusiasts, we have also included several outstanding bottles from both Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits. Among the highlights is Les Argillats from Jean-Pierre Guyon – a rare cuvée crafted organically from 100% Pinot Blanc, it delivers an intriguing expression of a traditionally red wine appellation combining richness and energy.
If classic white Bordeaux is more your style, look no further than Pavillon Blanc du Château Margaux and La Clarté de Haut-Brion, both showcasing the hallmark floral aromatics and refined intensity. Meanwhile, Les Tour Blanc and Emidio Pepe’s Trebbiano offer more exotic and contemplative experiences – layered, expressive and deeply characterful, these bottles are sure to captivate seasoned drinkers.
Don’t miss Envínate if you are seeking a fresh take – sourced from ancient native vines planted on Tenerife’s volcanic slopes overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, their whites deliver a natural, distinctive combination of saline freshness, mineral tension and maritime character that offers a novel perspective on Spanish white wine.
Whether you are stocking up for summer gatherings or simply looking to discover new producers, our selection offers something for every occasion. Feel free to reach out to our team for more personalized picks.
Cheers to staying cool and hydrated in style!
