Clos De La Roilette 2021 Griffe Du Marquis
$84.99A more serious, barrel-aged expression of Gamay with lifted aromas of dark cherry, plum, and raspberry layered with violet, spice, and a subtle earthy, iron-tinged note. The palate is structured and energetic, combining bright acidity with fine tannins and a savoury core of red and dark fruit, dried herbs, and a touch of oak-derived warmth. Youthful and slightly tight on release, finishing long and mineral-driven with the depth and grip to reward short-term cellaring.
Clement Lavallee 2022 Chablis
$84.99The 2022 Chablis Villages comes from a 2.5Ha plot of 35-year-old vines picked at 35 hl/ha and sees 12 months ageing on the lees. This estate cuvée displays a tension worthy of the greatest village level Chablis. The 2022 Chablis is distinguished by its purity and freshness, with aromas of citrus, white flowers and hints of flint, typical of the terroir. The palate is lively, carried by a beautiful acidic tension and a clean finish, supported by a marked minerality. This wine embodies finesse, with remarkable precision and balance. Elegance and purity in spades.
Clos Cibonne 2022 Cuvee Tradition Rouge
$86.99A dark ruby red with a full body and mellow tannins. Thick, sweet and complex on the finish and marked by aromas of spices and black fruits such as blackcurrant and blackberries.
Serge Mathieu Brut Prestige N/V
$89.9970% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay
There’s an intensity to this firm Champagne, with structuring notes of white peach, pear and lime, stony mineral notes and a hint of beeswax. Vivacious, with a chalky sensation on the finish. An incredible value!
Grosbois 2020 Clos Du Noyer Chinon
$89.99An intriguing nose – reminiscent of wild herbs and wormwood alongside its succulent red fruit flavors and light floral note. As always at Grosbois, the tannins are well handled – coating the palate with a chocolate powder-like texture. Incredibly satisfying.

$93.9990 Points Wine Enthusiast: “The aroma mingles oak with hints of baked apple and almond. The lively palate opens with allspice and dried apricot, plus a mild floral exhale. The finish is warmed with plenty of brisk baking spice.”
Clos Cibonne 2022/23 Cuvee Caroline Rose
$96.99A distinctive, age-worthy rosé with complex aromatics of dried flowers, ripe peach, and red berry layered with spice, honey, and a pronounced saline lift. The palate is textured and medium- to full-bodied for rosé, showing savoury depth, subtle oak influence, and a beautifully balanced core of orchard fruit, citrus, and mineral nuance. Long and quietly powerful on the finish, with a faint vanilla note and coastal freshness that underscores its serious, gastronomic style.
