Barons de Rothschild NV Extra Brut Champagne
Pale gold and finely effervescent, with ripe pear, fresh almond, white flowers and a discreet hazelnut-toast note. The palate is rich yet weightless, combining a delicate creamy texture with incisive freshness and chalky precision. Very dry and clean through the finish, it suits oysters, scallops, crab, tempura or a simple aperitif.
Terres Falmet 2008 A Contre Courant Saint-Chinian
Deeply coloured and strikingly mature, with dried fruit, leather, fig, tobacco and candied cherry joined by flashes of raspberry, pomegranate and dried rose. Four years under a veil of yeast give the palate unusual depth and savoury complexity. Rich, muscular and earthy, with dusty tannins and a substantial, cigar-toned finish.
Domaine Ferret 2022 Pouilly-Fuisse
Citrus and fresh almond lead a polished, mineral Chardonnay, with ripe orchard fruit and a subtle floral lift adding breadth. The palate is rounded and generous, yet limestone-derived saltiness and a fine granitic line keep it poised. Supple through the middle and clean on the finish, it pairs naturally with roast chicken, shellfish or creamy cheeses.
Vincent Paris 2024 Cornas Granit 30
Black cherry and raspberry open with dried violet and orange blossom, followed by pepper and warm spice. Medium bodied and vivid, the palate feels polished rather than heavy, with smooth, refined tannins carrying the fruit into a savoury, persistent finish. Give it a brief decant and serve with roast lamb, grilled mushrooms or lentils with herbs.
Mirabeau Dry Rosé Gin
Juniper forms the dry, steady core, brightened by fresh lemon and coriander. Orris root adds floral lift, while angelica brings an earthy line beneath the citrus. A grape-based spirit gives the palate a rounder texture and a subtle fruit note without making it sweet. The finish is poised and refreshing, returning to citrus peel, herbs, gentle florals and clean juniper.
Drappier NV Brut Nature Zero Dosage Champagne
Freshly pressed black grape, yellow plum and vineyard peach lead, joined by red fruit, citrus and lemongrass. The palate is dry, upright and pure, with a lively mousse, taut mineral texture and abundant freshness. Pink grapefruit and crushed rock sharpen the finish, while the ripe fruit keeps this zero-dosage style generous rather than austere.
Clos Cibonne 2021 Cuvee Prestige Olivier
Deep ruby in the glass, with ripe cherry, blackberry, plum and prune layered over licorice, sweet spice and wild Mediterranean herbs. The palate is rich and velvety, with fine tannins giving shape to the generous fruit. Full of savoury southern character, it finishes with persistent spice and polished structure.
Voirin-Jumel NV Les Carelles Premier Cru Blanc de Noirs Champagne
Yellow plum and ripe orchard fruit lead with a light chalky salinity. The palate is generous but lifted, with fine mousse, lively acidity and a gentle creamy texture. A subtle savoury grip brings definition to the fresh, lightly gourmand finish. Serve well chilled with roast poultry, mushroom tart or aged hard cheese.
Voirin Jumel NV Rosé de Saignée Brut Champagne
Deeply coloured and vinous, this rosé Champagne opens with strawberry, raspberry and redcurrant, followed by pink grapefruit, spice and a gentle floral lift. The palate is dry and energetic, with fine mousse, bright acidity and a lightly phenolic grip giving the generous fruit definition. Chalky freshness carries a complex, savoury finish. Serve with duck, charcuterie, tuna or mushroom dishes.
Château de Ferrand 2019 Saint-Émilion Grand Cru
Fresh, radiant fruit leads the aroma, with plum, black cherry and violet joined by touches of cocoa and hazelnut. The palate is smooth and velvety, while Cabernet Franc brings a firmer line of tannin and welcome freshness. The fruit remains clear and energetic through the middle. The finish is refined and balanced, carrying floral lift, polished texture and lingering dark-fruit intensity.
Château Pierrousselle 2022 Bordeaux Magnum
Redcurrant, cherry and plum lead an open, perfumed aroma, with vanilla and sweet spice adding gentle warmth. The palate is medium-bodied and rounded, balancing ripe raspberry and dark fruit with soft tannins and fresh acidity. Hints of cocoa, smoke and dried herbs add depth without making the wine heavy. The finish is mellow and fruit-led, leaving berries, spice and a light savoury note.
Champagne Lelarge-Pugeot NV Brut Rosé
Famille Joly 2016 Les Vieux Clos Savennières
Chateau Latour-Martillac 2015 Pessac-Leognan
Deep ruby with an expressive mix of raspberry, red cherry, blackcurrant and blackberry, shaped by a restrained note of cedar and toast. The palate is generous yet cleanly structured, balancing ripe fruit with fresh acidity and polished tannins. Savoury oak and dark berries linger on the composed finish. Decant briefly and pair with roast duck or grilled beef.
Piper-Heidsieck NV Rosé Sauvage Brut Champagne
Blood orange, wild strawberry and cranberry lead a vivid, fruit-forward nose, with black cherry and a quiet layer of toasted brioche underneath. The palate is generous but brisk, combining ripe red fruit with grapefruit lift and fine, lively bubbles. Rich in flavour without feeling heavy, it finishes fresh and tangy. Serve with salmon, duck, charcuterie or a berry-accented dessert.
Serge Mathieu NV Brut Rosé
Fresh and full-bodied, with strawberry, pomegranate and darker berry notes carried by a firm, fine mousse. The palate is crisp and savoury, balancing red-fruit richness with lively acidity and a clean, energetic structure. Tiny bubbles keep the texture precise, while a gentle toast note adds breadth to the finish. Serve with charcuterie, grilled salmon or mushroom tart.
Fleury Blanc de Noirs Brut NV Champagne
Black cherry and kirsch meet chalk, mint and a twist of white pepper. Delicate yet richly fruited, the dry palate has a fine mousse and an elegant slate-like mineral line. It finishes clean and mouthwatering, with enough structure for food. Serve with oysters, charcuterie, mushroom tart or simply well chilled before dinner.
Clement Lavallee 2022 Chablis Les Ardill
An energetic Chablis from old-vine clay-limestone soils, with a taut mineral profile and measured weight. Ageing partly in seasoned barrels and partly in stainless steel on the lees gives the palate texture without obscuring its freshness. Vibrant and focused through the finish, it pairs naturally with oysters, grilled fish, roast chicken or creamy shellfish dishes.
