750 mL
Château Latour 1974 Pauillac
A fully mature, restrained claret with smoke and spice over gently evolved fruit. The palate is round and silky at first, then turns leaner as marked acidity and a lightly astringent finish come forward. Provenance matters at this age; stand upright, decant carefully for no more than thirty minutes and serve with simply roasted beef.
Château Mouton Rothschild 1952 Pauillac
Fully mature and richly textured, with blackberry, liquorice and leather carried by a broad, refined and complex bouquet. The palate is round and warming, balancing sweet fruit with drying tannins and a substantial, gently rounded finish. Bottle condition is essential at this age; stand upright, decant carefully for about ninety minutes and serve with lamb or slow-cooked beef.
Bruno Paillard NV Première Cuvée Extra Brut Champagne
Pale straw gold with a very fine bead. Almond, white peach, lime and grapefruit lead the nose, followed by redcurrant, raspberry and sour cherry, then a touch of pineapple as it opens. The palate is lively and low-dosage, combining citrus, toasted bread and ripe orchard fruit with a broad, chalky texture. Saline freshness drives a clean, mouthwatering finish.
Charles Heidsieck Brut Réserve Champagne
Fresh brioche and roasted nuts open with mango, apricot and mirabelle plum. The palate is generous but lively, bringing creamy nougat, cherry and plum into balance with bright citrus and fine bubbles. A high proportion of reserve wine adds depth without weighing down the texture. The finish is long and mouthwatering, leaving toast, almond, dried fruit and a gentle note of ginger.
Nicolas Maillart 2012 Premier Cru Brut Millésimé Champagne
Champagne Gardet NV Brut Tradition Chigny-les-Roses
White stone fruit, lemon and pear lead, with chalk, fresh yeast and warm toast adding savoury depth. Fine bubbles carry an expressive palate shaped by crisp acidity and clean mineral freshness. A gentle red-fruit note rounds the middle before the balanced, refreshing finish settles with quiet elegance.
Dom Pérignon 1996 Plénitude 2 Rosé Champagne
Malt, nectarine and wild strawberry open into smoky, peaty depth, with dried rose, citron, saffron and a touch of vanilla spice. The palate is radiant and energetic, balancing ripe red fruit with fine bubbles and firm mineral tension. Toasted nuttiness and savoury complexity carry a long, precise, gently spicy finish.
Louis Roederer NV Collection 246 Brut Champagne
Mirabelle plum, nectarine and candied lemon lead with vanilla and a subtle toasted note. Light and delicate, the palate brings peach and pollen through soft, creamy bubbles, savoury depth and dry chalky tension. Fresh, powdery texture stays vibrant through the mid-palate, finishing gracefully with smoke, toast and a clear saline lift.
Champagne P. Lancelot-Royer 2013 Grand Cru Millésimé Blanc de Blancs Brut
Toasted apple, honeysuckle and white flowers rise over warm brioche. The palate is smooth and mature, with generous orchard fruit held taut by vivid tension and clean mineral cut. Extended lees ageing brings depth without dulling the energy, carrying the fine mousse into a long, silky and composed finish.
Champagne Bauchet NV Brut
Piper-Heidsieck Cuvee Brut NV Champagne
White peach, pear and fresh citrus lead into orange blossom, toasted bread and a quiet almond note. The palate is crisp yet creamy, with a fine mousse and enough freshness to keep the ripe fruit precise. Subtle mint and toast carry the balanced finish. A polished aperitif, and equally comfortable with shellfish, fried chicken or triple-cream cheese.
de Venoge Princes Blanc de Blancs NV Champagne
White flowers, lemon and crisp apple lead, joined by white fruit, vanilla and a quiet biscuit note. The palate is fresh and finely balanced, with smooth bubbles, bright acidity and a creamy, gently buttery texture. Lime and orange zest sharpen the finish, while a clear mineral line keeps the richness poised and elegant.
Champagne Lilbert-Fils NV Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Brut
Vouette et Sorbée NV Fidèle Brut Nature Champagne
Deep gold with a faint copper cast, opening on red cherry, wild strawberry, baked apple and citrus peel. Brioche and toasted nuts add depth before a powerful, vinous palate takes over, shaped by tart red fruit, chalky earth and lively acidity. Bone-dry and savoury, it finishes long, clean and mineral, with fruit and structure in equal measure.
Bruno Paillard NV Rosé Première Cuvée Champagne
Copper-rose in colour, with fine bubbles and a vivid nose of redcurrant, sour cherry, wild strawberry and violet. A discreet lemon note brings lift. The palate is lively and chalky, capturing ripe red fruit without heaviness, then narrowing into a fresh, refined and gently saline finish. Excellent with sushi, cured ham or roast poultry.
Champagne Guillaume Sergent 2017 Les Prés Dieu Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs 1er Cru
Verrier & Fils NV Cuvée Fleuron Brut Champagne
Refined and finely drawn, with fresh butter, almond, bergamot and thyme opening into candied lemon and orange. The palate is lively and precise, its fine mousse carrying bright citrus, chalky minerality and a subtle saline note. A measured creaminess rounds the edges before a long, pure finish of lemon, iodine and brioche. Serve with oysters, gougères, smoked trout or light hors d'oeuvres.
Taittinger NV Prestige Rosé
Bright raspberry, cherry and blackcurrant rise from the glass with a light floral lift and a discreet hint of brioche. The palate is vivid and full, its fresh red fruit carried by a fine, persistent mousse and clean acidity. Velvety texture brings polish without weight, leading to a crisp, balanced finish with excellent definition.
Delamotte NV Brut Champagne
Fresh apple, pear and citrus are layered with brioche and warm bread on a finely yeasty nose. The palate brings freshness and roundness together, with lively bubbles, clean fruit and a subtle creamy breadth. Balanced and elegant through the persistent finish, it is equally suited to an aperitif, shellfish, gougères or roast poultry.
Louis Roederer 2012 Cristal Rose Champagne
Citrus peel and yuzu rise first, followed by red forest fruit and a fine mineral note. The palate is precise and finely layered, combining delicate fragrance with real power and structure. A persistent mousse and vivid acidity keep the finish focused, long and quietly complex. Serve in generous white-wine glasses with lobster, salmon, roast poultry or delicate mushroom dishes.
