Special Origin
Château Cos d’Estournel 1986 Saint-Estèphe
Ripe plum, blackcurrant and blackberry meet liquorice, graphite and a smoky, toasted note. The palate is concentrated yet composed, with savoury depth, firm grainy tannins and mineral freshness holding the mature fruit in shape. Cedar and warm spice build through a long, refined finish that remains powerful without feeling heavy.
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.
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.
Piper-Heidsieck NV Rosé Sauvage Brut Champagne
Blood orange, wild strawberry and cranberry lead a vivid, fruit-forward nose, with black cherry and a quiet layer of toasted brioche underneath. The palate is generous but brisk, combining ripe red fruit with grapefruit lift and fine, lively bubbles. Rich in flavour without feeling heavy, it finishes fresh and tangy. Serve with salmon, duck, charcuterie or a berry-accented dessert.
Stéphane Regnault NV Lydien No. 29 Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut Champagne
Open and energetic, this expressive Blanc de Blancs places pure Chardonnay character over a firm chalk foundation. The palate is dry and precise, with measured breadth from extended lees ageing and a clear mineral line from the south-facing Grand Cru site. Extra Brut restraint keeps the finish focused, vivid and composed.
Bruno Paillard 2009 Assemblage Champagne
Candied citrus, kiwi and fresh lemon lead a bright, focused bouquet, with white fruit, ginger and a gentle brioche note adding depth. Low dosage keeps the palate taut and precise, while fine bubbles and a chalky mineral line carry the flavours cleanly. Serve well chilled with oysters, sashimi or gougères.
Remoissenet 1969 Chevalier L’Arquebuse
A fully mature Burgundy with dried citrus peel, baked apple and hazelnut, joined by honeyed wax, truffle and gentle spice. The palate is silky and integrated, carrying preserved orchard fruit, toasted nuts and savoury depth on a softened frame. Its long, earthy finish calls for quiet attention and a simple table companion such as roast poultry, mushrooms or aged Comté.
Château La Nerthe 2022 Les Cassagnes Côtes-du-Rhône Villages Rouge 750 mL
Burlat cherry, red berries, blackcurrant and licorice define the documented fruit profile. Thyme, olive, laurel and other garrigue notes add a savoury register. The palate balances liveliness with roundness, supported by delicate tannins and a minty finish. Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre form the recorded blend, giving the wine its combination of bright fruit, herbs and restrained structure.
Domaine du Pégau 2021 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Réservée 750 mL
Licorice, tar and a stony note frame the documented profile, with leather, violet, cherry and strawberry adding aromatic detail. The palate carries meaty depth, healthy tannins and a firm, silky texture. A long, complete and slightly tannic finish follows. The blend is led by Grenache with Syrah and Mourvèdre, fermented without destemming and raised in large old foudres.
Domaine Xavier Gérard 2022 Côte-Rôtie 750 mL
Licorice root and brambly blackberry lead the exact-vintage record, followed by crunchy blueberry and dark plum. Savoury old oak, cracked pepper and a touch of game add further detail. The finish is described as long, savoury and grippy, with those same dark-fruited, spicy and meaty elements continuing through an intensely flavoured aftertaste. Dark fruit, spice and game remain central throughout.
Domaine du Coulet 2021 Cornas Ogre 750 mL
Sourced from a particularly mineral parcel at Le Serre, the wine is entirely Syrah, grown at 350 metres on heavily degraded granite. Vinification and eighteen months of ageing take place in ovoid and diamond-shaped concrete vessels. The documented profile is highly spiced, tart-fruited and smoky, with granitic aromatics, very fine tannins and an exceptionally fresh finish.
Domaine La Bouïssière 2022 Gigondas 750 mL
Pepper, dark cherry, peony and other floral notes lead the exact-vintage profile. The palate is described as delicately juicy, enveloping and supple, with velvety tannins and a generous core of fruit. A long, fresh and ethereal finish follows. The combination of dark fruit, flowers, fine tannin and freshness gives the wine its clearly documented shape.
Domaine Yves Cuilleron 2023 Syrah Les Vignes d’à Côté IGP Collines Rhodaniennes 750 mL
Bright ruby in colour, the documented profile is perfumed and fruit-led, with raspberry, cherry, violet and a subtle spicy note.

Juicy red fruit, black pepper and a mineral hint complete the record, keeping the style direct, expressive and clearly defined.
Château d’Agassac 2009 Haut-Médoc Cru Bourgeois 750 mL
A deep purple-red appearance leads to ripe black fruit, morello cherry, nutmeg and cinnamon. With air, macerated red cherry is joined by sandalwood, smoked beech and incense. The palate is dense and powerful, with concentrated tannins that remain silky rather than hard. Burnt pepper and damp garrigue appear on the long finish, followed by another echo of red cherry.
Bachelder 2011 Nuits-Saint-Georges La Petite Charmotte 750 mL
Field berries and wild flowers lead the aroma, followed by raspberry, ripe cherry, cassis and a light anise note. Floral and incense details sit beside the fruit, with savoury spice appearing through the palate. The tannins are evident but smooth, and a mineral element supports the fruit. Cherry, spice and floral notes carry into the long, documented finish.
Domaine Gaston & Pierre Ravaut 2013 Côte de Nuits-Villages Rouge 750 mL
Blackberry and blackcurrant define the producer's documented fruit profile, set within a stated balance of tannin and acidity. The fruit comes from Pinot Noir grown on the slopes of Comblanchien. After complete destemming and stainless-steel fermentation, the wine spends twelve months in French oak, including fifteen percent new barrels, followed by six months on fine lees before bottling.
Pierre Gimonnet & Fils 2016 Special Club Cramant Grand Cru Champagne 750 mL
Asian pear, nectarine and citrus lead a layered bouquet, with jasmine, freesia and yellow flowers bringing aromatic lift. Hazelnut, pollen and a light waxy note add depth. The palate is rich yet lively, its fine bubbles and fresh acidity keeping the ripe fruit precise. Chalky mineral detail develops through the middle. Harmonious and persistent, it finishes with pear, citrus, nuts and a measured savoury note.
Maison Louis Jadot 2022 Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru Morgeot 750 mL
Peach and orange oil open a rich but tightly drawn bouquet, joined by white flowers and toasted hazelnut. The palate carries generous stone fruit over clear acidity, with a creamy middle held in check by firm mineral tension. Gentle spice and a subtle buttery note add breadth without softening the wine's focus. Long and composed, it closes with citrus, nuts and a chalky savoury edge.
