Remoissenet Père et Fils 2019 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1Er
Concentrated Pinot Noir with dark cherry, strawberry and blackcurrant framed by rose and liquorice. Vigorous and chewy in youth, it carries substantial structure, layered fruit and impressive length, gradually softening into leather, truffle and game notes. A serious cellar-minded Burgundy for rib steak, roast duck, lamb or rich, soft-centred cheeses.
Remoissenet 2018 Vosne-Romanée
Purple and pink wildflowers lead into light spice, black cherry and red plum. Juicy and refined on the palate, the fruit is carried by a silky texture and enough freshness to keep the shape precise. The finish is long and gently spicy. Serve with grilled lamb sausages, duck breast or mushroom dishes.
Domaine A.F. Gros 2021 Vosne-Romanée Les Chalandins
A distinctive floral perfume leads into a direct, finely shaped palate. Silky texture gives the red fruit a graceful flow, while a subtle extra depth develops through the middle. The finish is notably long and detailed, with a flicker of complexity that keeps the wine lively rather than heavy. Elegant now, with the poise to reward careful cellaring.
Domaine Ostertag 2015 Fronholz Riesling
Peach and tangerine make an immediately expressive nose, combining juicy ripeness with aromatic spice and citrus zest. The palate is dry, concentrated and vigorous, with firm acidity, mineral focus and a sleek, crystalline texture. There is real structure and poise beneath the exuberant fruit, carrying the finish with clarity and energy.
Lorgeril 2024 Voyageur Pinot Noir
Red cherry, raspberry and violet lead with a leafy touch of blackcurrant. The palate is supple and poised, layering bright red fruit over smooth tannins and balanced acidity. A discreet peppery note adds definition, while the finish remains fresh, gently savoury and impressively persistent for its light-footed frame.
Château La Rabotine 2024 Sancerre
Elderflower and acacia rise first, followed by wildflower honey, pineapple and a light confectionery note. The palate is fresh and smooth, with lemon and citrus bringing clean definition to the riper fruit. Bright acidity holds everything in balance, carrying the wine into a tangy, polished and refreshing finish.
Château Caronne Sainte-Gemme 2019 Haut-Médoc
Dark and classically structured, with blackberry, blackcurrant and briar framed by cedar, pencil shaving and a touch of loamy earth. The palate is medium to full-bodied, fleshy and supple, with sappy dark fruit, fine powdery tannins and fresh acidity. Dark chocolate, tobacco leaf and white pepper carry the savoury, composed finish.
Croix Mouton 2019 Bordeaux Superieur
Smoky plum and blackberry form a dense, dark-fruited core, with subtle spice, cocoa and liquorice adding savoury depth. Full and rounded on the palate, the mainly Merlot blend carries ripe fruit through tannins that are beginning to soften. The finish remains earthy and generous. Pair with braised beef, lamb or grilled mushrooms.
Fauvin 2019/22 Chenas Tradition
Dalem 2018 Fronsac
Deep garnet-purple, with baked blueberry, kirsch, redcurrant jelly and earthy truffle aromas. The palate is full-bodied and generous, layering black fruit with brighter red-fruit accents and a firm, velvety structure. A refreshing lift keeps the finish poised. Pair with roast lamb, braised beef, duck or aged hard cheese.
Moulin Blanc 2019 Montagne Saint Emilion
An understated Right Bank Bordeaux with pure red cherry and violet aromas. The palate is medium-bodied and composed, with crisp acidity giving the fruit freshness and fine, chewy tannins adding shape through the finish. Refined rather than showy, it benefits from a little air and pairs neatly with roast lamb, duck, mushrooms or firm cheese.
Domaine des Corbillières 2024 Touraine Rosé
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.
Autour de l’Anne NV Wonder Womanne Sparkling Rosé
Coral pink and lively in the glass, with dried rose, fresh peach and ripe red berries carried by a bright, playful fizz. The palate stays dry and aromatic, balancing gentle acidity with a soft honeyed tone and an earthy, savoury edge. Energetic but composed, this naturally made sparkling rosé is an easy match for charcuterie, grilled vegetables or lightly spiced dishes.
Daumas Gassac 2021 Mas Languedoc
Robert Perroud 2023 Terres Blanches Beaujolais-Villages Blanc
Delicate and refreshing, with grapefruit, white peach and bright citrus at the centre of a clean, poised profile. The palate stays light on its feet, balancing ripe fruit with a fresh, gently textured feel and a neat finish. Serve well chilled with roast chicken, grilled fish, fresh cheeses or vegetable dishes; it is equally comfortable as an elegant aperitif.
Chatelet 2018 Moulin A Vent
A structured Cru Beaujolais with dark cherry, plum and blackberry over black pepper, clove and a light forest-floor note. Firm tannins and bright acidity give the Gamay a mineral backbone without obscuring its fruit. The finish is long, savoury and gently spiced, making this a strong choice for roast chicken, pork, mushrooms or richer charcuterie.
Domaine de la Ragotière 2019 Cœur de Schistes Chardonnay
Citrus, white peach and delicate flowers open with a quiet touch of oak. Elegant and layered, the palate balances ripe fruit with vibrant acidity and fine mineral tension from mica-schist soils. The texture is generous without becoming heavy, carrying purity, subtle complexity and poised freshness through a long, harmonious finish.
