Burgundy
A-F Gros 2016 Echezeaux Grand Cru Mg
Floral aromas of lavender and violet meet red cherry, spiced plum and a discreet toastiness. The palate is medium-bodied yet concentrated, with ripe strawberry, darker berry fruit and a gentle earthy undertone. Silky texture and balanced acidity carry into a powerful, clean finish framed by refined, moderately firm tannins.
Remoissenet Pere et Fils 1967 Chambolle-Musigny
Delicate dried flowers and red fruit lead into a complex mature profile of cranberry, cherry, plum, thyme, mushroom and leather. The palate remains surprisingly full yet balanced, with fresh acidity and fine dusty tannins giving shape without hardness. Rose petal and savoury earth linger through a measured finish. Bottle variation is expected; stand upright before opening and decant gently only if needed.
Remoissenet Pere & Fils 1967 Gevrey-Chambertin
Earthy and silk-textured, with mature fruit carried by elevated acidity and a lively, sappy line. The palate is leaner than a youthful bottle but remains clear, energetic and savoury, with its fine texture giving the wine quiet elegance. Bottle variation is expected at this age; stand upright before opening and decant gently only if needed, then serve with roast poultry or mushrooms.
Gérard Raphet 2018 Chambolle-Musigny
Ripe red cherry, raspberry and wild strawberry open the nose, joined by rose petal, subtle spice and a light forest-floor note. The palate is supple and finely textured, with fresh acidity and delicate, polished tannins keeping the generous fruit poised. Silky and expressive, it finishes smooth and refined. Pair with duck, roast chicken, mushrooms or herb-roasted pork.
Domaine Parent 2018 Pommard
Ruby-toned and well structured, with red berries, flowers and spice forming the core of a composed, aromatic profile. The palate balances ripe fruit with firm tannins and a measured oak note, while earthy and mushroom nuances add savoury depth. Dry and focused through the finish, it suits roast poultry, duck, veal, game or mushroom dishes.
Domaine Parent 2018 Ladoix Premier Cru La Corvee
Brilliant in colour and firm in shape, with cherry and redcurrant gradually opening from the glass. The palate is structured and focused, carried by ripe fruit and assured tannins that should soften with time. There is power here, but the finish remains composed rather than heavy. Decant if opening now and serve with roast duck, pork or mushroom dishes.
Domaine Parent 2015 Pommard 1er Cru Les Chanlins
Open and deep on the nose, with attractive sweet fruit and a measured touch of toffee-toned oak. The palate is lithe and nicely weighted, building layered fruit and oak complexity over a fine, persistent frame. Fresher notes gather through the finish, suggesting a composed, structured red that continues to gain interest with air.
Maison Roche de Bellene 2002 Collection Bellenum Beaune Premier Cru Les Greves
Fully evolved and savoury, with dried cherry, raspberry and prune framed by leather, forest floor and soft spice. The palate is graceful rather than heavy, its mature fruit carried by fine structure and a gently earthy finish. Serve cool and allow sediment to settle before pouring; it suits roast duck, mushroom dishes, game birds or aged soft cheese.
Coquard 2019 Julienas ‘Jules Cesar’
A layered French red with crushed pomegranate, orange zest and red tea, lifted by a soft waft of vanilla. The palate is medium-bodied, with tight, fine-grained tannins giving shape to the aromatic fruit and a flavourful finish. Give it a little air, then serve with roast poultry, grilled pork, mushrooms or gently spiced charcuterie.

Billaud-Simon 2020 Chablis Grand Cru Les Preuses
Light gold with subtle golden reflections, opening on mineral, creamy and floral notes with touches of honey, dried fruit and sea spray. The palate is direct and powerful, yet finely honed, with concentrated citrus held in balance by fresh acidity and a precise mineral line. The finish is pure, persistent and gently saline. Serve with oysters, roast halibut, crab or young Comté.
Billaud-Simon 2020/21 Tete D’Or
A refined, deeply expressive Chablis cuvée showing layered aromas of lemon oil, ripe green apple, and white peach interwoven with crushed oyster shell, flint, and subtle floral lift. The palate is concentrated yet precise, with driving acidity and a creamy, chalk-etched texture that balances its richer core of citrus and orchard fruit. Long and linear on the finish, delivering persistent saline minerality and smoky stone depth that reflect both the intensity and finesse of top-tier Billaud-Simon fruit selection.
Remoissenet 2015 Meursault 1er Cru Blagny
Rich and layered, with ripe pear, baked apple and lemon curd opening into hazelnut, toasted brioche and a subtle floral lift. The palate is concentrated and creamy yet held in line by bright acidity and a firm mineral core. Citrus oil, almond and chalky tension shape the long, powerful finish. Serve with roast turbot, scallops, poultry in cream sauce or aged Comté.
Remoissenet 1969 Chevalier L’Arquebuse
A fully mature Burgundy with dried citrus peel, baked apple and hazelnut, joined by honeyed wax, truffle and gentle spice.

Its long, earthy finish calls for quiet attention and a simple table companion such as roast poultry, mushrooms or aged Comté.
Guillaume Vrignaud 2023 Chablis
White flowers, green apple and lemongrass lead a bright, finely drawn profile. The palate is silken, with subtle lees texture set over a cool river-stone mineral line.

Precise and food-friendly, it pairs naturally with oysters, white fish, roast poultry or fresh goat cheese.
Cave de Lugny 2022 Macon-Lugny La Carte
Citrus, ripe pear and exotic fruit rise first, followed by honey, almond and stone fruit.
