Moulin Touchais Coteaux du Layon 2002
Bright gold and wonderfully lively, with peach, papaya and melon layered over lemon zest, white flowers, honey, apricot and spiced orange peel. The palate is ripe and creamy but never heavy, its sweetness held in check by vivid acidity and a clean mineral line. Persistent and refreshing on the finish, it pairs beautifully with foie gras, blue cheese or almond tart.
Remoissenet 2019 Côte de Nuits-Villages
Dark berries and ripe cherry lead, lifted by a restrained thread of spice. The palate combines generous fruit and density with polished, finely woven tannins, keeping the wine elegant despite its depth. A lively sense of freshness carries into a long, powerful finish. Serve with duck, roast poultry or mushroom dishes.
Remoissenet Père et Fils 2015 Santenay Blanc
Remoissenet Père et Fils 2019 Santenay Blanc
Remoissenet Père et Fils 2019 Ladoix Blanc
Pale-gold Chardonnay with acacia, ripe apple, quince and spiced pear, underscored by a gentle buttery note. The palate balances generous texture with lively freshness and a firm, composed line, becoming rounder with time. A polished white Burgundy for shellfish, cooked seafood or softly spiced fish and prawn dishes.
Voirin-Jumel NV L’Assemblage Tradition Brut
Ripe red fruit leads, followed by cherry biscuit, delicate pastry flakes, sea salt and chalky spice. The palate is vinous and generous rather than sharply linear, with equal parts Chardonnay and Pinot Noir bringing elegance and depth. Savoury, dry and lightly crunchy through the finish, it offers richness without losing its poised freshness.
Champalou 2015 Vouvray La Moelleuse
Gently sweet and supple, this late-harvest Chenin carries generous orchard fruit through a rounded, silky palate. Mouthwatering acidity cuts cleanly through the richness, bringing freshness and balance to the lingering finish. Expressive without becoming heavy, it is well suited to fruit desserts, blue cheese, foie gras or a quiet glass after dinner.
Château Pradeaux 2011 Bandol Rouge 750 mL
Mourvèdre forms the core, with Grenache in support. The cuvée is made with gentle crushing without destemming, native-yeast fermentation in temperature-controlled concrete and extended maceration. Long ageing follows in seasoned oak foudres. Freshness and firm tannins are central to the house style, placing grape composition, maceration and long foudre ageing at the centre of this traditional red.
Beau Joie NV Brut Nature Champagne
Clean and crisp from the first sip, with citrus, green apple and white flowers over a light yeasty note. The zero-dosage style keeps the palate dry and direct, while Pinot Noir brings firm structure and Chardonnay adds lift. Fine bubbles, fresh minerality and a savoury finish make this a versatile match for oysters, sashimi or fried seafood.
Clement Lavallee 2022 Chablis
A precise village Chablis with citrus, white flowers and a light flinty note. The palate is lively and pure, shaped by bright acidity, clean mineral tension and measured lees-derived texture. Fine-boned and balanced through the finish, it offers a classic, versatile style for oysters, grilled white fish, roast poultry or mild, creamy cheeses.
Le Gin de Christian Drouin
Fresh apple and juniper give the aroma an immediate lift, followed by rose, lemon peel and a fine thread of ginger. The palate is smooth and rounded, layering vanilla, cinnamon, almond and cardamom over bright orchard fruit. Floral citrus keeps the spice precise rather than heavy. The finish is clean and gently warming, with apple, juniper and sweet spice returning in an elegant, aromatic line.
Vaudon VS Cognac
Fresh pear and apricot lead the aroma, joined by vanilla and a light berry brightness. The palate opens supple and delicate, then gains gentle weight as clean white-fruit flavours develop through the middle. A slight liquorice note brings contrast without disturbing the spirit’s balance. The finish is smooth and softly warming, returning to pear, vanilla and restrained fruit sweetness.
Piper-Heidsieck Cuvee Brut NV Champagne
White peach, pear and fresh citrus lead into orange blossom, toasted bread and a quiet almond note. The palate is crisp yet creamy, with a fine mousse and enough freshness to keep the ripe fruit precise. Subtle mint and toast carry the balanced finish. A polished aperitif, and equally comfortable with shellfish, fried chicken or triple-cream cheese.
Champagne Bauchet NV Brut
Château de Montfaucon 2012 Vin de Monsieur Le Baron
Moulin Touchais Coteaux du Layon 2007
Unctuous yet vibrant, with honey, baked apple, saffron, guava and mango lifted by dusty lemon, dried herbs, grass and fresh mint. The palate is generous and layered, balancing tropical sweetness with the high, graceful acidity that gives mature Chenin its poise. Long and luscious without becoming cloying, it suits blue cheese, baked apple or lightly spiced pâté.
Féret-Lambert 2018 Bordeaux Supérieur Magnum
A fresh and expressive Bordeaux with lifted aromas of red cherry, raspberry and blackberry layered with subtle florals, spice and a hint of graphite. The palate is medium-bodied and supple, showing juicy red and dark fruit framed by bright acidity and fine, lightly grippy tannins that add structure without heaviness. Clean and approachable yet nicely focused, finishing with a savoury, mineral edge and an easy, food-friendly charm.
Clos Cibonne 2022/23 Cuvee Caroline Rose
A 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.
