Boutinot ‘La Fleur Solitaire’ Côtes du Rhône Blanc
Who said all Rhône is red? So 95% of southern Rhônes are red, but that doesn't mean that the whites aren't worth some attention. Just getting hold of them can be tricky as more than half of those produced are consumed in the region. Down there in the Provençal end

Origine Chardonnay, Celliers des Chartreux
This one's proving a big hit. It seems that creamy Chardonnay is back in style, although a million miles from those Aussie butter-bombs of the '80s and '90s. And if you like 'em creamy, this one's double. If not clotted! But it's also balanced by crisp, refreshing acidity.We import this

1612 Grand Viognier, Cellier des Chartreux
Viognier can be tricky grape. Harvest too early and it can be taught and characterless. Wait just a few days and it can be too ripe and the wine is flabby and bland. But get the timing right and it balances a crisp citrus opening with golden, stone fruit depth.

A Peu Prés, Sauvignon Blanc
When they drew up the boundaries for Pouilly Fumé, this parcel of land missed out on the big name alotted to the parcels next door. So it's almost - "à peu prés" in French - a Pouilly Fumé. But it's a lot more affordable.

La Source, Côtes du Rhône Blanc, Domaine de Mourchon
We've had this wine on our radar for a while, now, but now that white burgundy is becoming so expensive, it has really come into its own. A beautiful mix of crisp acidity, dry minerality and deeper ripe, honeyed fruity tones.

The wine shows pure Sauvignon style - fragrant aromas of grapefruit and citrus with a waft of mineral pungency. Full and round in the mouth, with further fruity grapefruit and orange flavours but also an almond nuttiness, supported by elegant zingy lees and acidity.

Origine Chardonnay MAGNUM, Celliers des Chartreux
Intense golden yellow color with bright reflections. The nose has an aromatic richness of very ripe white fruits and exotic fruits. The finish has notes of vanilla, toasted almonds and white flowers.

Domaines Leflaive Auxey-Duresses Blanc 2020
This offers a lovely nose, both lemony and rich, with a touch of fresh almond and a palate which offers medium concentration, fuller than the lighter Puligny style, a light richness and good length. Great value for a Burgundy white, beautifully balanced and gaining quite a following.
