Champalou Brut Vouvray NV
$55.99A finely judged Loire sparkling wine with green apple, pear, citrus zest and white flowers, followed by hints of brioche and almond.

Rosemary, a quiet savoury edge and fine acidity carry the wine through a fresh, textural finish.
Laurent Saillard 2018 Blank
$55.99Bright citrus and pale orchard fruit move across a fine, gossamer texture. The palate is light but not slight, bringing old-vine concentration to a clean, naturally expressive frame.

Composed and versatile, it is well suited to roast chicken, firm white fish or creamy vegetable dishes.
Jean Vesselle NV Extra Brut Champagne 375 mL
$56.99Fresh and powerful on the nose, with ripe orchard fruit, citrus and a restrained floral lift.

Henri de Villamont 2022 Bourgogne Pinot Noir 750 mL
$56.99Red cherry, wild strawberry and raspberry open with a delicate violet lift. A light touch of cedar and cinnamon adds quiet savoury depth without masking the fruit.

Its supple shape suits roast chicken, grilled salmon or mushroom dishes, where the bright fruit and restrained oak can remain in balance.
Domaine de la Grosse Pierre 2019 Fleurie Bel Air 750 mL
$56.99Peony and wild raspberry rise over pomegranate and redcurrant in a light, perfumed profile. The palate is graceful and lifted, with whisper-fine tannins giving gentle shape rather than weight. A mineral grip gathers toward the finish, joined by pink peppercorn and a final return of fresh red fruit. Serve slightly cool with roast chicken, charcuterie, grilled salmon or mushroom dishes.
Sohler Philippe 2018 Riesling Muenchberg
$58.99Dry and composed, this Riesling brings gentle smokiness and toast to a palate shaped by restrained fruit and defined minerality.

Serve chilled with grilled prawns, fresh goat cheese, green vegetables or a simply dressed roast chicken.
Château des Jacques 2022 Moulin-à-Vent

Frédéric Brouca Vermouth Occitanie
$58.99Cherry and fresh red fruit open the aroma, followed by summer flowers, thyme, rosemary and lavender. The palate is round and gently ample, with smooth tannins carrying warm spice, orange peel and lemon. Wormwood and wild Mediterranean herbs bring a measured bitter edge, while the citrus keeps the rich fruit lifted. The finish is long, floral and fresh. Serve lightly chilled over ice, lengthen with tonic and citrus, or enjoy on its own as a contemplative aperitif.
Tinel Blondelet 2021 Sancerre Rose
