2020 Benjamin Leroux - Savigny les Beaune Jarrons

Hot off the press... Lettie Teague’s column this week features dry Riesling and we have her #1 pick in stock at a very good price!

#1 2021 Pewsey Vale Single Vineyard Estate Eden Valley Dry Riesling, $20.
"Australia is home to some terrific dry Rieslings, and Pewsey Vale is among the country’s best-known makers of Riesling. This is their crisp, lime-inflected, reasonably priced take."

We have Lettie’s #3 pick as well...

"Montagny is a very interesting wine, not just a simple "terroir wine". Its colour is pale. On the nose, aromas of golden apple, almond and fern, with a faint lemony note. There is a clear-cut and lively impression when first tasting the wine, followed by a feeling of roundness. Long aftertaste, with appetizing flavors of "compote"

Founded in 1903, the Saiya Brewery is one of the most award-winning breweries at the Japanese National Sake Competition. Located in the snowy region of Akita, in the past fifteen years of the competition, the brewery has won an astonishing ten gold medals. Mr. Takahashi, their brewmaster, has been recognized by the Emperor of Japan as a cherished craftsman.

This junmai ginjo is a favorite with new and seasoned sake drinkers alike. Featuring the proprietary yeast developed by Takahashi Toji, this sake is creamy, layered, aromatic and finished with a dry spiciness. An incredible sake to enjoy on its own as an introduction to the house style of Saiya Brewery.
