The Pinot Noir comes from biodynamically farmed vines in Central Otago, New Zealand.
La Visciola 2022 Vicinale Cesanese del Piglio

Domaine Chanterêves 2022 Bourgogne Aligoté Miarlons du Bas
Citrus, lemon, acacia, white flowers, cold stone and hazelnut accompany a lively, vigorous character, good length and iodine notes. Old vines grow on a steep limestone slope between Les Monts de Fussey and Mainbey. After destemming and a six-hour press, native-yeast fermentation precedes twelve months in oak casks. Both the hillside site and oak ageing are part of this cuvée.
Foradori 2020 Morei Teroldego
Dark and inward, the wine shows black cherry, balsam herbs, cinnamon and clove. It is round, with zesty acidity and inner spice. Dark red fruit, mineral notes, sweet tannin, concentration and silkiness are also present. Made from Teroldego under Demeter-certified biodynamic farming, the cuvée combines fruit, herbs, spice, minerality, roundness and a concentrated, silky character.
Clos des Vignes du Maynes 2019 Mâcon-Cruzille Aragonite
An expressive, complex nose accompanies breadth, finesse and length.

The vineyards are certified organic and biodynamic.
Domaine Jean Bourdy Macvin du Jura François
Fresh grape aromas are joined by ripe fruit and prune in the documented profile. The palate is slightly syrupy and naturally sweet, with a smooth, full-bodied texture and no harshness. Production combines two-thirds unfermented grape juice with one-third Marc du Jura, followed by one year in old wood. Both organic and Demeter certification are recorded for this traditional fortified wine.
Roagna Pajè 2017 Barbaresco
Rose petals, red cherry and cranberry lead a restrained but finely detailed bouquet, joined by tobacco, dried flowers and warm spice.

Domaine des Grottes L’Antidote Sparkling Gamay

Clau de Nell 2018 Chenin Blanc
Lemon, chalk and a gentle yeasty note lead into a broad, finely textured palate.
