Selection
Melinon 2017 Morgon
A vibrant Morgon with ripe red cherry, blackberry and violet on the nose. The palate is medium-bodied and smooth, balancing juicy red fruit with soft tannins, bright acidity and subtle earthy, mineral undertones. Fresh and structured through the finish, it is versatile at the table and works well with charcuterie, roast poultry, mushrooms or grilled pork.
Smith Woodhouse 1985 Vintage Port
Violet, black cherry and dark chocolate lead a rich, mature bouquet, with Christmas spice and a light leathery note adding detail. The palate is full and intense, bringing raspberry, cassis and caramelized sugar over round, fine-grained tannins. Firm grip keeps the sweetness balanced through a long, spicy finish. Decant carefully and serve with blue cheese or dark chocolate.
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.
Taylor Fladgate Late Bottled Vintage Port
Dark cherry, plum and blackcurrant lead, with cocoa, dried herbs and warm spice adding savoury depth. Rich and full, the palate balances generous sweetness with supple tannins and well-judged acidity, keeping the dense fruit composed. A light smoky note gathers through the finish, which remains smooth, persistent and distinctly satisfying without feeling heavy.
Château du Coing de Saint-Fiacre 2017 Monnières-Saint-Fiacre Muscadet
Bright lemon, grapefruit and white flowers lead, followed by crushed rock, ripe orchard fruit and a subtle tropical note. The palate is dry and structured, with brisk acidity, fine mineral tension and gentle lees-derived breadth. Light brioche and toast emerge on the persistent finish, adding complexity without dulling its coastal freshness.
Moulin Touchais Coteaux du Layon 2007
Unctuous yet vibrant, with honey, baked apple, saffron, guava and mango lifted by dusty lemon, dried herbs, grass and fresh mint. The palate is generous and layered, balancing tropical sweetness with the high, graceful acidity that gives mature Chenin its poise. Long and luscious without becoming cloying, it suits blue cheese, baked apple or lightly spiced pâté.
Château Cailleteau Bergeron 2024 Tradition Blanc
Bright and aromatic, with white peach, pear and citrus opening into a light tropical note. The palate is clean and brisk, bringing juicy white fruit together with a subtle mineral edge and enough texture to feel composed rather than simple. A fresh, persistent finish suits shellfish, goat cheese or a warm-weather aperitif.
Champagne Gardet NV Brut Tradition Chigny-les-Roses
White stone fruit, lemon and pear lead, with chalk, fresh yeast and warm toast adding savoury depth. Fine bubbles carry an expressive palate shaped by crisp acidity and clean mineral freshness. A gentle red-fruit note rounds the middle before the balanced, refreshing finish settles with quiet elegance.
Champagne Bauchet NV Brut
Louis Roederer 2012 Cristal Rose Champagne
Citrus peel and yuzu rise first, followed by red forest fruit and a fine mineral note. The palate is precise and finely layered, combining delicate fragrance with real power and structure. A persistent mousse and vivid acidity keep the finish focused, long and quietly complex. Serve in generous white-wine glasses with lobster, salmon, roast poultry or delicate mushroom dishes.
Louis Roederer 2007 Cristal Brut Champagne Magnum
Golden with warm orange highlights and exceptionally fine, regular bubbles. Williams pear and redcurrant lead into hot pastry, baked apple, white chocolate and hazelnut. Concentrated yet refined, the palate is silky and velvety, with smoky depth, powdery salinity and energetic freshness carrying the wine into a precise, graceful and persistent finish.
Islay Violets 33 Year Old Single Malt
Distinctively floral, with Parma violet, jasmine and lavender joined by candied lemon, singed orange peel and smoky sage. The palate is waxy yet light on its feet, layering violet petals, rosewater and sultana with rosemary, juniper and pine. Mint, vanilla toffee and soft oak spice bring depth without muting the perfume. The finish is long and fresh, fading through grapefruit, green grass, toffee and gentle smoke.
Benromach 10 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Ripe forest fruit and creamy malt lead the aroma, joined by a measured curl of smoke. The palate keeps the fruit and malt in balance, while maturation in sherry and bourbon casks brings depth through the middle without making the whisky feel heavy. The smoky element stays restrained. The finish is warming and composed, returning to forest fruit, creamy malt and quiet smoke.
Brickers Ardbeg Barrel Aged Cider 750Ml
The Liberty Distillery Endeavour Pink Gin
Delicate rose and raspberry lead the aroma, followed by juniper, coriander and citrus peel. Star anise brings another botanical layer, while rosehip keeps the floral and citrus profile closely joined. The palate is forthright, with juniper and citrus carrying through the middle. The finish is smooth and lingering, leaving rose, raspberry, flowers, citrus and a measured trace of anise.
Domaine de Villalin 2023 Quincy Cuvee Tradition
Lemon and grapefruit lead a bright, aromatic profile, joined by acacia, white flowers and a gentle peppery lift. The palate is smooth and lightly textured, with fresh citrus carrying through a clean, energetic finish. Its balance of fruit and freshness makes it easy at the table. Serve well chilled with oysters, goat cheese, grilled fish or simply prepared green vegetables.
