Burgundy
Remoissenet 2018 Meursault Cuvée Maurice Chevalier 750 mL
Balanced and harmonious, with a delicate profile and a smooth, polished texture. The palate is measured rather than showy, moving with quiet poise and a consistent sense of proportion. Nothing feels exaggerated; the wine remains refined and composed through a long, even finish. Allow a little air before serving, then pair with roast chicken, grilled lobster, scallops or creamy mushroom dishes.
Laurent Ponsot Bourgogne Blanc Cuvée du Perce-Neige Magnum
Hawthorn blossom, lemon and fresh pear lead into warmer notes of honeysuckle, brioche and toasted almond. The palate is fleshy yet lifted, with ripe orchard fruit balanced by a saline, finely drawn finish. Hints of marzipan and pineapple add breadth without making it heavy, while lively freshness keeps the texture poised. Serve slightly cool with roast fish, gougères, mushroom ravioli or vegetables baked with feta.
Laurent Ponsot 2017 Bourgogne Rouge Cuvée des Peupliers Magnum
Cherry, blackcurrant and blackberry open with pomegranate, peony and a gentle earthy edge. The palate is supple and finely textured, carrying pulpy red fruit through delicate tannins and bright freshness. A light savoury note appears with air, while the finish remains graceful, clean and quietly persistent. The larger format should benefit from time in a decanter; serve with roast chicken, duck, charcuterie or mushroom dishes.
Laurent Ponsot 2022 Meursault Cuvée du Pandoréa 750 mL
Lemon zest and white blossom open with toasted almond, hazelnut and a measured buttery richness. The palate is full and silky, balancing ripe citrus and gentle honeyed notes with a clear line of freshness. Flint and light toast add definition through the middle, while a savoury mineral edge keeps the finish long and composed. Serve slightly cool in a generous glass with lobster, roast chicken, turbot or creamy mushroom dishes.
Laurent Ponsot 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin Cuvée de l’Aulne 750 mL
Strawberry and raspberry lead a lightly floral nose, with darker currant, soft earth, cedar and a whisper of wild herbs underneath. The palate is sleek and medium-bodied, combining fresh red fruit with savoury spice and a clear mineral line. Fine volume builds through the middle before a firmer, gently rustic finish brings shape and length. Give it time in a decanter and serve with duck, roast chicken or mushroom dishes.
Domaine Michelot 2017 Bourgogne Côte d’Or Clos de Montmeix Monopole Magnum
Ripe orchard fruit opens with gentle spice and a light floral lift. The palate is broad and concentrated, reflecting the warm, sheltered site, yet fresh acidity and a rocky mineral line keep the Chardonnay focused. Subtle oak adds texture without overwhelming the fruit, while a faint nutty note develops with air. The finish is long, rich and composed. Serve cool with roasted fish, poultry, foie gras or creamy mushroom dishes.
Maison Louis Latour 2017 Pommard Premier Cru Les Epenots 750 mL
Blackcurrant, liquorice and woodland aromas lead a deep, savoury Pinot Noir profile. The palate is ample and rounded, combining dark fruit with measured oak and a return of liquorice through the mid-palate. Firm, persistent tannins provide shape without making the wine feel severe, while earthy undergrowth adds mature Burgundy character. The finish is long, structured and composed. Decant briefly and serve with duck confit, beef bourguignon or mature cheese.
Tourterelles 2022 Vire-Clesse Mg
A generous large-format white Burgundy with ripe pear, white peach, lemon curd and acacia blossom. Hazelnut and wet-stone notes add detail, while the supple palate balances rounded orchard fruit with fresh mineral lift and a touch of creaminess. Elegant and approachable through the finish, it is well suited to roast chicken, creamy seafood or buttery vegetable dishes.
Les Vignes d’Adelie 2023 Vire-Clesse
An intense nose brings roasted almond, mocha and gently toasted notes. The palate is powerful and fleshy, with mirabelle plum and candied-grape richness carried by ample texture. Roasted nuances return through the mid-palate, while the wine's weight and concentration settle into a long, broad and generous finish.
Les Vignes d’Adélie 2023 Chardonnay
Green and yellow apple open with clean definition, joined by grapefruit and a gentle honeyed note. The palate stays bright and fruit-led, with measured weight and enough softness to keep the citrus in balance. A neat, easy finish follows. Serve chilled with vegetable dishes, light pasta or cured meats.

Silky texture and graceful tension carry subtle oak and savoury detail into an elegant, persistent finish.
Joseph Drouhin 2006 Musigny Grand Cru
Musky floral aromas of magnolia and exotic orchid mingle with kirsch, dark cherry, plum, brown spice and a cool mineral edge. Rich and concentrated on the palate, the wine remains finely textured, with bright acidity and polished, fine-grained tannins. Savoury depth and chalky precision drive the long, resonant finish.
Louis Jadot 2009 Musigny Grand Cru
Rose petal, sweet red berries, plum and subtle spice rise over a restrained wet-stone note. The palate feels weightless yet intense, with concentrated fruit held by fine tannins and lively freshness. Richness builds without heaviness, while precise mineral detail and a supple texture carry the wine into a long, graceful finish.
Domaine Laroche 1999 Chablis Grand Cru Les Blanchots

Lemon and mineral freshness provide shape beneath the richness, leading to a structured, persistent and immediately attractive finish.
Faiveley 1997 Chambertin-Clos de Bèze Grand Cru
Red cherry, dried strawberry and rose petal rise first, followed by forest floor and subtle spice. Raspberry and cranberry shape a composed, savoury palate, with tea leaf and earthy mineral detail adding depth. Firm, finely woven tannins give classical poise, while lingering floral and savoury notes carry the long, elegant finish.
Remoissenet 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin 3L
Earth and dark berries lead the nose, with oak adding a restrained savoury frame. Firmly structured on the palate, the fruit has enough depth to balance the wine's steady grip and grounded character. The finish is composed, persistent and gently wooded. Give it air before serving with roast lamb, braised beef or wild mushrooms.
Domaine Armand Rousseau 1994 Chambertin Grand Cru
Mature and remarkably balanced, with red fruit retaining freshness despite the vintage's leaner reputation. The palate avoids undue heaviness or tired fruit, showing a composed structure and firm, lightly green-edged tannins on the finish. It is drinking well now and may continue to hold. Stand upright, open carefully and serve with roast game or earthy mushroom dishes.
Clement Lavallee 2022 Bourgogne Aligote Pariot
Bright, zippy and mineral-driven, with a clean line of acidity and a restrained, lightly textured palate. Native-yeast fermentation in stainless steel and neutral barrels preserves freshness while adding quiet depth. The style is precise rather than showy, making it a natural partner for oysters, grilled prawns, white fish, fresh cheeses, roast chicken or a simple plate of buttered vegetables.
