Phillipe Viet Fleurie Poncie Gamay 2023

Jean Loron Jean Pinot Noir 2023

Fruit builds and builds, but things stay approachable and minerally throughout. The style is flinty and crispy, and there’s some citrus that just pushes through without ever hogging the limelight. Lovely.

Roland Tissier Sancerre 2022

One of the best white Burgundy’s we’ve had in a long time! Most of the fruit is from Meursault, with some from surrounding communes where things are a little richer, but there’s a perfect amount of acidity, fruit and tannin. Pair with fancy cheese and one other person – at the most.

Matrot Bourgogne Blanc Chardonnay 2022

Plump, juicy and round with good bright and fresh acidity washing through to amplify the purity. Gets 8-12 months in concrete to keep things expressive and savoury and punching well above its price for Beaujolais village.

Phillipe Viet Beaujolais-Villages Gamay 2023

A clean and plush expression with sweet whole berries and a flitting carbonic note. Very juicy and very pure, but it’s more than that thanks to a little mineral element and splash of dusty tannin.

Domaine Perol Pierres Dorees Bien Eleve Gamay Beaujolais 2023

Plush boysenberry and currants with shredded cherries sitting on earthy spices. It’s French Pinot for less than $30 so it won't be here long. Stock up.

Vignobles 3 Châteaux Pays d'Oc Pinot Noir 2023

Six months on lees for a more tactile finish that sits soft and lets all the lemon pulp, orchard fruits and honey soak into your palate and warm your soul. Loire Valley Chenin is a special thing so this is a great gifting wine.

Béatrice et Pascal Lambert Le Droit Chenin Blanc Chinon 2023

Renowned Gamay that’s intense and full of mineral expression thanks to the vineyard sitting on granite, and the fruit maturing in oak for 12 months. Rich with bright fruit that’s driven and a dream with rotisserie chicken and crunchy potatoes.

Frederic Berne Morgon Corcelette Gamay 2021

Black fruits and floral notes that flow with silky tannins and fresh herbs. It’s a small grain Gamay Noir that was aged for 12 months to let all the body and precision take shape and hold us lovingly, and deliciously. Yum.

Frederic Berne Les Vergers Beaujolais Lantignié 2021

Dry, dry, dry, but don’t worry, it’s not just chalk and acidity, there are golden ripe aromatics, yellow peaches and the stingiest slice of upside down pineapple cake you were offered.

Brut Dargent Blanc de Blancs NV

Ripe with dark cherry and foraged fruits that are held together with ripe tannins and pour full of joy and a value. There’s also a big environmental focus at des Treille where their farming practices reduce waste and boost soil rejuvenation.

Champs des Treille CDT Rouge Cabernet Merlot Blend 2022

Melon de Bourgogne - is there a better name for a grape? It’s like speaking in fluent silk for three words. That grace is also embodied in the wine which spends 9 months on lees and flows dry and mineraly with some pithy grip. Perfect with cheese and friends on weekend afternoons.

Michel Delhommeau Le Fief Seigneur Muscadet Sevre et Maine sur lie 2022

Fresh Rosé that’s fluent in freshness thanks to all watermelon and strawberry notes with a paper-thin slice of cantaloupe. One to drink in Fitzroy Gardens while the bats make their nightly flight west.

La Ptite Pierre Rose 2023

A great entry to the world of Savoie reds. Crunchy, bright red spices, pepper, alpine herbs and fresh acidity. They used to say that Mondeuse was a ski chalet wine, but a few years ago some legends started taking the grape to the next level. Merci to them.

Domaine de Chatillon Savoie Mondeuse 2020

Wild strawberries and raspberries that pour with some crisp, leafy tannins. There’s a little LoFi liberté here but it’s presented with that subtle Frenchness we love and comes wrapped in a firm tannin and bright acidity.

Cros des Calades Ballon Rouge 2023

A Grenache, Syrah blend with saturated tannins that a Shiraz drinker with French tendencies will absolutely love you for. Give it a swirl to access more of the wild plum, aniseed and cooling lavender.

Mas des Bressades Tradition Rouge 2022

There’s something about an alpine landscape come harvest time, full of wildflowers and divine sprawl. We're thankful all that pretty depth gets into the glass as chamomile, crunchy apple blossom and some concentrated acidity to help you focus on flavour, and fromage.

Domaine de Chatillon Jacquere 2022

Colour your afternoon a refreshing, pale gold and crisp straw. This is another wine that is perfect for oysters and cheeses – we try not to have too many pairing biases. Expect lemon, salinity and white pepper to make your nice afternoon great.

Lorgeril Les Mouettes Picpoul de Pinet 2023

Ripe, textural and summery, they seem to have bottled early December. All those delicious afternoons that come with cantaloupe, stone fruit and an enriched freshness. A brilliant gift for the Gris-Chardonnay lovers in your life.
