Such elegance and poise. Like a strong and muscular ballet dancer - it has the power to punch through but holds it back with such finesse. Dancing on the palate.
7 years of age - could easily do with 10 more, but already now it can do this. Highly complex and so so so refined. — 6 days ago

Stunningly complex, mesmerising and fantastic.
Full of tertiary notes: Figs, hazelnuts, stemmed ginger, dried lemon peel, honey. Loads of caramel, baking spices, vanilla and tonka beans. Quite oxidative almost sherry like. Super bright acidity, wonderful balance and structure, a super lush and creamy finish. — 10 days ago

Colour is very pale, nose is super fresh, grassy, citrusy and packing quite a bit of fruit: white peach, gooseberry, passion fruit and guava. Quite an aggressive nose.
On the palate it’s crunchy, thirst clenching and razzy. Good acidity and very light body. — 14 days ago

Way too young but it will develop into something quite remarkable! Bit darker than your average red Burgundy, wild strawberries, cherry, black raspberries, black tea, liquorice and spices. Highly concentrated and delicious. — 6 days ago

Nice and balanced Chardonnay with golden apples, fat peels of lemon, some orange zest, cream, butter and very refined touch of vanilla. Nice acidity and not too heavy. — 7 days ago

A well balanced wine offering ripe apples, pear juice, yellow cherries, lemon peel, roasted and grinded hazelnuts, sourdough, cream, butter, white roses, white tea with jasmine and a complex mix of mushroom, earth and stemmed ginger. Super delicious — 12 days ago

Smoky, slightly reductive, crisp apples, fragrant lemon peel and quite a bit of body. Nice balance between a smooth and creamy texture but still stringent and quite sharp - wonderful Auxey-Duresses Blanc — 6 days ago

Beautiful “entry level”-wine from SLWC - however it’s very very young. Decanted for 4 hours and really opened up but shouldn’t be opened until 2026 earliest. Cassis, bramble, dark cherries, dusty tannins, mocha, mint and spices! Very bold and yummy — 7 days ago

Very young and could do with some years in the bottle. But after decanting: Lush and powerful fruit bomb with dusty tannins, herbal notes, roasted bell peppers and mocha. Super delicious — 13 days ago

Power, poise and precision. Black fruit galore, spice, bacon and butcher shop, bonfire, smoke, olives, garrique - an incredible nose that gave me goosebumps. Perfect balance, immense intensity and just spot on. — 15 days ago
