Wine
Terralsole 2016 Rosso di Montalcino DOC
Radikon Saša 2019 Sivi Pinot Grigio
Roses, cranberry, tangerine and red pomelo lead a vivid, complex bouquet, joined by fresh herbs and a gentle tea-like note. The skin-contact palate is savoury and mineral, with bright acidity, fine tannic grip and a saline finish. Serve lightly chilled with grilled vegetables, charcuterie or richer seafood dishes.
Arzuaga 2021 La Planta Ribera del Duero 1.5L (Magnum)
High-toned red fruit leads, with tart strawberry and cherry framed by scrubland herbs, resin, mineral notes and gentle toast. Fresh and welcoming on entry, the palate gains fleshy volume through the middle while structured tannins stay balanced. Bright acidity and softly sweet spice shape a composed, persistent finish.
Luís Seabra 2020 Indie Xisto Tinto
Savoury red and blue fruit leads, with forest floor, wet stone and green herbs giving the nose a cool, earthy frame. Layered on the palate, it combines ripe berry depth with white and black pepper, fresh acidity and fine tannic grip. The finish is persistent, slate-led and quietly smoky, with the fruit remaining clear and composed.
Clos Marsalette 2019 Pessac-Leognan
A classically structured Pessac-Léognan with blackcurrant, blackberry and graphite, joined by iodine, earth, tar and black tea. The palate is medium-bodied and fresh, with firm, fine-grained tannins giving the dark fruit a precise frame. Savoury and composed through the finish, it benefits from air and suits roast lamb, beef or mushroom-led dishes.
Les Pinot Blacks 2019 Irancy Vallee de Coigny
Highly perfumed, with rose, ripe red fruit and subtle whole-cluster lift rising above well-integrated oak. The palate is silky and immediately appealing, carrying generous flavour over a fine, supportive grain of tannin without dryness. Wide, gently phenolic and poised on the finish, it is both sophisticated and ready to enjoy.
Jean-Claude Lapalu 2019 Brouilly Cuvee des Fous
Fragrant and energetic, with blackberry, black cherry and raspberry framed by violets, dried rose and a faint earthy edge. The palate is dry and lively, with supple fruit, fine grip and notes of licorice, cinnamon and smoke adding dimension. Lightly chill before serving; its freshness and savoury detail work beautifully at the table with charcuterie, roast chicken, pork or mushroom dishes.
Petterino 2004 Gattinara DOCG
Co-op of Pico 2022 Arinto dos Acores
Fresh tropical fruit leads into a subtle oak note, bringing gentle breadth without obscuring the wine's brightness. Refreshing acidity and clear minerality give the palate a precise, energetic shape. Persistent and distinctly salty through the finish, it is a polished match for shellfish, sushi, grilled fish or firm cheese.
Dalem 2018 Fronsac
Deep garnet-purple, with baked blueberry, kirsch, redcurrant jelly and earthy truffle aromas. The palate is full-bodied and generous, layering black fruit with brighter red-fruit accents and a firm, velvety structure. A refreshing lift keeps the finish poised. Pair with roast lamb, braised beef, duck or aged hard cheese.
Domaine Guiberteau 2020 Saumur Blanc
Springfield Estate 2020 Méthode Ancienne Chardonnay
A classically styled Chardonnay, fermented with wild yeast in French oak, with lime and sweet orange leading into golden apple, restrained tropical fruit and toast. Broad and creamy without losing definition, the palate gathers citrus oil and a fine stony note around a firm line of freshness. Richness and mineral lift remain beautifully balanced through the composed finish.
Jean Foillard 2023 Morgon Côte du Py
Dried cherry and prune lead a soft, unctuous palate, with concentrated fruit carried by a supple texture. There is seriousness beneath the generosity, but the wine remains composed and flowing rather than dense. Its pure, generous shape makes it a natural partner for charcuterie, roast chicken or goat cheese, while the fruit remains clear enough to enjoy on its own.
Jean-Claude Lapalu 2022 Brouilly La Croix des Rameaux
Dark fruit sits behind a clear, mouth-filling palate, with fine-grained tannin giving the wine an architectural sense of shape. The texture is firm but never coarse, and a slow, mouth-watering finish brings freshness to the structure. Distinctive and composed, it suits roast chicken, charcuterie or grilled mushrooms.
Boudier 2018 Savigny-Les-Beaunes
Medium ruby in colour, with delicate floral aromas opening into rose petal, red cherry, raspberry and soft spice. The palate is light on its feet, shaped by fresh acidity and fine tannins rather than weight. A poised, fragrant Pinot Noir with a clean, savoury finish and understated Burgundian character.
Eve & Michel Rey 2018 Mâcon-Vergisson La Roche
Grapefruit and lemon zest lead with bright precision, followed by fresh nuts and a delicate thread of smoke. The palate is composed and quietly generous, with clear Chardonnay fruit, a fine mineral line and enough texture to soften the citrus drive. Clean and persistent through the finish, it pairs naturally with roast poultry, firm fish or creamy vegetables.
Trimbach 2016 Reserve Pinot Gris
Ripe Mirabelle plum and pear shape the nose, giving a generous first impression without excess sweetness. The palate is resolutely dry, concentrated and fresh, with an earthy undertone adding depth beneath the fruit. Taut and clean from entry to finish, it carries its weight with poise and closes with whistle-clean precision.
