Josh’s Wine Cellar

A textbook example of excellent dry white in 2023: you get the sumptuousness of ripe Sémillon with nectarine juiciness and the verve and citrus punch, in this case kiwi, from the Sauvignon Blanc.

Candied lime, green melon, mint and chalk dust. Round and supple, it shows a tinge of sour citrus for balance as ripe orchard fruits further soothe the senses… A total pleasure to taste.

The very deep coloured Les Pénitents Pinot Noir has ripe black fruits, a rich texture, structure and power. This is a very muscular version of Pinot Noir.

An intense and perfumed wine full of violets, blood oranges, red cherries and pepper. The attack is soft, with a medium body, velvety tannins, crisp acidity and a savory finish. Juicy and delicious.

A year in which Dauzac excelled! Aurore is a bit deeper and structured with bright black fruit, berries, fine spices and crushed stones. Dusty tannins crumble nicely on the palate with full body and a long, powdery finish. Lots of energy.

Bright red fruits and fresh Mediterranean herbs, offering immediacy and charm… There’s a firm, energetic structure beneath the brightness, giving the wine tension and clarity. This always offers tremendous value.
