Vermouth made from a unique infusion of aromatic herbs and aged in the barrel before bottling.
Wine
Coquard 2019 Chiroubles
100% Gamay from the Chiroubles appellation in Beaujolais. This is one of the smallest appellations and also one of the most elevated, with some vineyards rising over 450m above sea level.
The 2019 presents lovely purple florals and crisp red fruit. Imagine fresh picked cherry meets a lavender bloom. These aromas are folded into a soft bed of silky fine tannins. Enjoy this wine young or let it develop up to 2029.
Sainte-Anne 2021 Cotes-du-Rhone Villages
In a hidden gem of the Cotes-du-Rhone Villages, Saint-Gervais, winemaker Guy Steinmaier channels his Burgundy roots into this classic, Grenache-forward Rhône blend. Set just northwest of Tavel and Lirac, Saint-Gervais sits along the same latitude as renowned Gigondas, yielding a wine brimming with concentrated currant, plum, and red raspberry preserves, complemented by white pepper and subtle mineral and earthy tones.
This vibrant, traditional expression pairs beautifully with slow-cooked lamb stew with apricots and warm spices or a spiced lentil and roasted red pepper curry with coconut milk and cumin.
La Croix 2019 Bonnelle St Emilion
Serge Mathieu Tete De Cuvee Brut
Reverdito 2023 Langhe Nascetta
Saint Desirat 2022 Ardeche Syrah
100% Syrah. Sustainably Farmed. Lots of characteristic Northern Rhone black pepper spice and savoury complexity. Sourced from vineyards just outside Saint-Joseph, hence the great price.
It's done in a juicy style, offering sappy spice-laced berry flavours on the palate. The spicy note recurs on the long, smooth finish. An exceptional value that is drinking superbly now.
Bodegas Paniza Vinas Viejas 2017 Garnacha
Clement Lavallee 2022 Chablis
The 2022 Chablis Villages comes from a 2.5Ha plot of 35-year-old vines picked at 35 hl/ha and sees 12 months ageing on the lees. This estate cuvée displays a tension worthy of the greatest village level Chablis. The 2022 Chablis is distinguished by its purity and freshness, with aromas of citrus, white flowers and hints of flint, typical of the terroir. The palate is lively, carried by a beautiful acidic tension and a clean finish, supported by a marked minerality. This wine embodies finesse, with remarkable precision and balance. Elegance and purity in spades.
