Les Deesses Muettes 2024 Pinot Noir Saint-Guilhem-le-Desert
$23.99Bright and expressive, with red cherry, wild strawberry and raspberry layered over leather, gentle earth and a cool mineral note.

Lorgeril 2024 Voyageur Pinot Noir
$29.99Red 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.

Pennautier 2024 Viognier Pays D’Oc
$31.99Delicate peach and tropical fruit lead a softly fragrant nose, with gentle floral detail adding lift.

Château de La Liquière 2021 Les Amandiers Blanc Faugères
$34.99White flowers, bright citrus and fresh orchard fruit lead with an open, charming fragrance.

Early-morning hand harvesting and tank ageing preserve the vivid, pure profile, while the high, schist-grown site lends the finish a precise sense of place.
Mas Gabinele 2021 Carignan
$44.99Ruby-red and generously aromatic, with crushed strawberry and Ente plum joined by black pepper and liquorice.

Autour de l’Anne 2023 Les États d’Anne 750 mL
$45.99Fresh red fruit opens with an energetic, lightly smoky edge. The palate is bright and tingly, with semi-carbonic crunch giving the Cinsault and Grenache blend a lively, chillable texture.

It finishes crisp and savoury, leaving red berries, smoke, gentle spice and a refreshing snap.
Clos Des Nines 2021 Obladie White
$47.99Highly aromatic, opening with rose petal, jasmine and ripe stone fruit over subtle garrigue and vanilla.

Mineral lift and warming spice carry the wine through a lingering, savoury finish.
Gérard Bertrand 2021 Papilou Pét-Nat Rosé
$47.99Elegant pale pink, with fine, regular bubbles and a subtle raspberry aroma. Fresh red fruit carries onto a dry, rounded palate, where clean acidity gives the wine energy and definition.

Chateau de la Liquiere 2014 Cistus Faugeres
