Ferrando Erbaluce di Caluso Bianco 2024Theres something quietly electric about Erbaluce, but lets not keep it too quiet. Its one of those wines that feels like a discovery every time you pour it. Alpine sunshine in a glass, a reminder that Piemonte is not only Nebbiolos deep, brooding register. It can run bright, too. Ferrando sits up in the north, where Piemonte starts to lean into the Alps, and Erbaluce thrives in that in between space: cool air, bright light and mineral driven soils.

and plum skin

Pritchard Hill Franc’s girthy power

Chardonnay

France making Cabernet Franc

This is Peyrassol’s top wine

But everyone in Gevrey-Chambertin knows Dominiique – his main job is farming for all kinds of different producers in the village

blackberry and boysenberry flavors that stay well-defined

At the table

ripens fruit well to give a full expression to ripe black cherry fruit with hints of violets
