A Trip Around the World – Whites

Take a trip around the world without leaving the comfort of your own home with 4 wines from some of the most famous growing regions. This set contains 4 different white wines: 

Les Vins Julien Russian River Valley Chardonnay

VIN92 The 2019 Le Pich Cabernet Sauvignon is a terrific introductory-level wine from Julien Fayard. A rich, opulent wine, Le Pich offers up a compelling mélange of black cherry, plum, chocolate, cloves, new leather and licorice. This bold, sumptuous Cabernetdelivers the goods, every time. The 2019 is one of the best editions of Le Pich I can remember tasting.

Bodegas y Viñedos Raúl Pérez Ultreia Godello

WA93 2020 was a very good year for whites, and they harvested very early. The 2020 Ultreia Godello shows restraint and very low pH (3.2!) with high acidity (6.6 to 6.8). None of the whites go through malolactic, and this is the freshest vintage of this wine so far. This is now made with mostly own grapes from Cacabelos and Ponferrada (in 2022 they will own around 80% of the vineyards used for this wine), matured in a mixture of barriques, oak foudres and some concrete. It’s super tasty, mineral and finishes dry.

2022 Bisci Verdicchio di Matelica

2022 Ladoucette Comte Lafond Sancerre AC

Beautiful crystalline dress, pale gold. The olfactory expression opens immediately on a succession of shades that are constantly renewed. First citrus fruits (orange peel and lemon), then summer fruits (white peach and pear) finally honey notes on a subtle background of peppermint… an excellent complexity that translates richness and elegance. The lively and very frank attack precedes the acidulous roundness of the summer fruits expressed by the nose which are mingled with the refreshing flavors of exotic fruits (lychee, mango). Then, in delicate harmony, the fat and smells of fresh almond and pear are revealed. The finish, based on a stony minerality, is prolonged on notes of very ripe lemon.
