Herve Kerlann Aligoté 2013 $23.50 ★★★★

From France’s Côte-d’Or comes this deliciously dry, chalky, oyster-shell scented white, which is so crunchy and cleansing to drink, it’s practically an oral exfoliant.  White florals, lime and quartz-like, mineral complexity make this a must-sip for those that like their wines so dry they’re almost skeletal.
