93 Points – Decenter…A love letter to the Willamette Valley, the new 2022 is made from five vineyard sites (Palmer Creek, Le Pavillon, Eola Springs, Kalita & Fairsing Vineyards) representing Dundee Hills, Eola-Amity and Yamhill-Carlton.
Typical of an Et Fille wine in that it is based around aromatics, finesse and beauty. Red berry, violet, soft smoke, and elusive herbs and spices are the characteristics of the wine. In the mouth, it is very impressive - velvety, concentrated and long without being jam. Persistent and expansive with fine material, drink over the next 10 years.

Many of you are familiar with Domaine Feuillarde and their apex Saint-Veran wines. Along with these great wines, the Thomas family produces a couple wines outside of the appellation. Located west of the small city of Macon, Charnay is one of the smaller, named villages of the Maconnais and always represents apex value for White Burgundy.
100% UNOAKED Chardonnay, this wine screams of France! Clean, fresh and incredibly vibrant with magical notes of tangerine, lemon and most obviously, interlaced with exquisite minerality. The palate is zesty and pure with nervosity, thrust and sophistication of stoniness that follows from the nose. Balanced with lively fruit and detail, this versatile non-oaked wine will give wine drinkers a new insight into this chameleon of a varietal. A terrific selection to go with roasted poultry, mushroom or simply prepared fish dishes and an impressive one to sip on its own. As usual there are only ever about 500 cases produced, this is our one and only ten case allotment for the next 12 months.
