White - Sparkling
N.V. Roger Coulon Champagne Premier Cru Heri-Hodie France, Champagne, Champagne Premier Cru
92 points
Made with 90% Meunier from the réserve perpetuelle, vines in Vrigny, Coulommes la Montagne and Villers-Allerand, bottled unfined and unfiltered, disgorged April 2022 with a dosage of 3 gr/l. Notes of brioche noted in particular this time, fresh and energetic but creamy and rounded, flavoursome and stylish. Almost two years of post-disgorgement ageing seem to have served it well.
White
2018 Justin Boxler Riesling Florimont France, Alsace, Alsace Grand Cru
92 points
Beautifully balanced and harmonious, elegant and seamless, zesty freshness, flowers and a touch of earth, gentle maturity, very good lime zest persistence. A subtle wine, very well suited for the cuisine at restaurant Showw.
Red
2019 Meyer-Näkel Spätburgunder Germany, Ahr
91 points
Screwcap 13% ABV. Lovely nose, very Ahr and very Meyer-Näkel, spicy and ripe but fresh, good depth; young vines give a lighter style on the palate, delicately creamy with mild tannins and delightful freshness; good resonance and length. Has developed well since last tasted in 2021.
