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.

Extra Brut restraint keeps the finish focused, vivid and composed.
Smith Woodhouse 1994 Vintage Port
An intense colour introduces a rich, concentrated style with a distinctive floral bouquet. Dark fruit fills the palate, framed by integrated tannins and enough freshness to keep the sweetness composed. Full-bodied and powerful without losing balance, it finishes with depth and persistence. Stand upright and decant carefully before serving with blue cheese, aged cheddar or walnuts.

Freshness keeps the wine composed through a long, grounded finish. Decant briefly and pair with duck, roast lamb or mushroom dishes.
Remoissenet 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin
Black fruit, forest floor and a measured touch of oak define a firm, classically savoury profile.

Decant briefly and pair with duck, lamb or mushroom dishes.
Remoissenet 2020 Volnay
Fresh red cherry and blackcurrant lead, lifted by violet and a gentle liquorice note. Medium-bodied and energetic, the palate has refined, integrated tannins and natural acidity that keeps the fruit bright. Red berries and fine spice carry through a silky, persistent finish. Pair with duck, roast chicken, pork tenderloin or mushroom dishes, serving just below room temperature.
Catena Zapata 2018 Adrianna White Stones
From just 27 rows of a high-altitude parcel in Gualtallary, this Chardonnay is shaped by white-stone alluvial soils, cool nights and naturally low yields. Lime, orange blossom and restrained orchard fruit meet a precise mineral line, brisk acidity and a long, stony finish. Fermented in French oak with partial malolactic conversion, then aged 12-16 months in seasoned barrels, it remains finely textured rather than overtly oaky. Unfined and unfiltered.
Remoissenet 2019 Pommard
Sour cherry and cranberry meet rose petal and dark spice in an aromatic, finely drawn profile. The palate is soft and juicy, with an elegant texture that lets the tart red fruit remain vivid. Floral notes and spice return on the measured finish. Serve with roast poultry, pork, lentils or mushroom-based dishes.
Egon Muller 2020 Kabinett Wbk
A delicately sweet German white with white peach, tangerine, apricot and almond cream. Vibrant acidity gives the ripe fruit definition and keeps the palate energetic, creating a precise balance between sweetness and freshness. Graceful through the finish, it is well suited to lightly spiced dishes, soft cheese, fruit-based desserts or a quiet glass on its own.
Chiappini 2012 Guado de’ Gemoli Bolgheri Superiore DOC
Bright ruby-purple in the glass, with ripe blackcurrant, blackberry and plum aromas layered over liquorice, sage and rosemary.

Verrier & Fils NV Tradition Mg
A robust Champagne with almond, cherry, darker berries and pastry on the nose. The palate is lively and effervescent, with firm structure balanced by bright acidity and notes of grapefruit and apple. Full-flavoured but composed through the lingering finish, it works well as an aperitif or with fried seafood, roast poultry and aged cheese.
Alexandre Lamblot NV Mouvance 17 Brut Nature Champagne
Baked apple, citrus and apricot open with fresh dough, beeswax, white flowers and a fine chalky edge. The palate is bright and fleshy, its ripe orchard fruit lifted by fresh acidity and a very fine mousse. Bone-dry and textural, it finishes clean and mineral, well suited to shellfish, roast poultry or aged cheese.
Château Las Collas 1961 Rivesaltes
Dark amber and deeply mature, with hazelnut, almond and candied citrus rising over warm roasted notes.

Refined and quietly generous, with white flowers, grapefruit and peach skin over a subtle mineral line.

The finish is clean and warming, leaving pear drop, cassia, white pepper and light oak.
Jura Prophecy Heavily Peated Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Floral heather and Brazil nut rise through peat smoke, salty air and a briny maritime note. The palate is oily and assertive, combining smoky bacon, liquorice and dried fruit with maple sweetness and dark cocoa. The smoke remains structured rather than blunt. The finish is long and mineral, leaving iodine, char, salt and a restrained touch of toffee.
Collingwood 21 Year Old Canadian Rye Whisky
Dark rye bread opens with herbs, spring flowers and freshly turned earth.
