Domaine Georges Descombes, Beaujolais Blanc 2023 England and an underlying core ofPlace: Beaujolais, France Grape: Chardonnay Vibe: Yum A primo example of Beaujolais Blanc. I smashed through a bottle of this in record time in France recently, so pretty ecstatic I've now got quite literally direct access to a healthy supply.
