Champalou NV Vouvray Brut
French Sparkling
$55.99
A finely judged Loire sparkling wine with green apple, pear, citrus zest and white flowers, followed by hints of brioche and almond. The palate combines bright Chenin Blanc acidity with a delicate mousse and a lightly creamy texture. Chalky, dry and persistent on the finish, it is equally comfortable as an aperitif or alongside oysters, soft cheese and lightly dressed seafood.
Domaine Philippe Delesvaux 2004 Clos du Pavillon Coteaux-du-Layon Saint-Aubin
French Dessert
$49.99
Fresh white pear leads into apricot, persimmon, fig and dried tangerine, with honey, candied apple and a light butterscotch note adding depth. The palate is fully sweet and generously textured, yet lacy acidity and a fine mineral spine keep it precise. Almond and honeysuckle emerge across the long, composed finish.
Vignobles Günther-Chéreau 2017 Monnières-Saint-Fiacre Muscadet
French White
$49.99
A mature Muscadet with golden colour and a complex nose of baked apple, citrus, butter and stone. The palate is full and structured, its rounded texture balanced by a clear mineral line and steady acidity. Long and savoury on the finish, it is well suited to richer seafood, roast fish, poultry or dishes finished with brown butter.
