Domaine Moreau-Naudet is one of Chablis’ most revered estates, with roots stretching back to the 17th century. The domaine as it exists today was born in 1950 from the marriage of Marie Naudet and René Moreau, and was elevated to greatness by Stéphane Moreau — a winemaker of extraordinary talent whose untimely passing in 2016 was a profound loss to the wine world. His family and team have carried on his vision with unwavering dedication: organic treatments only, manual harvesting, natural yeast fermentation in stainless steel, and aging on the lees for depth and texture. Their style draws frequent comparisons to Vincent Dauvissat — extreme purity, intensity, and a distinct sense of place.
The 2024 Chablis is vinified entirely in tank, preserving the appellation’s signature freshness and minerality. The nose offers lemon peel, spring flowers, and a youthful reductive lift. On the palate it is medium- to full-bodied and racy, with bright, precise acidity and a long, saline finish that is unmistakably Chablis.
Wine Advocate — “Racy palate framed by bright acids, concluding with a saline finish.”
A benchmark village Chablis at an honest price — Moreau-Naudet is the standard for what Chablis purity and terroir expression can be.
Tenuta Guado al Tasso is the Antinori family’s crown jewel on the Tuscan coast — a 1,000-hectare estate in Bolgheri, the appellation that gave the world Sassicaia and Ornellaia. This Vermentino is a deliberate act of terroir recovery: a revival of one of the indigenous varieties of the Tyrrhenian coast, recognized since the 1990s for its aromatic brilliance. Bolgheri’s unique microclimate — shaped by the estate’s coastal orientation and proximity to the sea — gives the wine its defining character: pronounced minerality, vivid freshness, and expressive aromatics that few Italian whites can match.
The nose is fragrant and coastal: white flowers, citrus blossom, green apple, and a saline mineral lift. On the palate it is crisp and focused, with bright acidity, a clean herbal thread, and a long, sea-breeze finish. The Tyrrhenian coast in a glass.
Antinori’s coastal estate — Bolgheri Vermentino at its most expressive.
A coastal Tuscan white at an honest price — Guado al Tasso’s Vermentino is the benchmark for what Bolgheri white wine can be.

The Franz Gojer St. Magdalener Vigna Rondell 2025 is a premium, single-site Alto Adige red wine (approx. 93% Schiava, 7% Lagrein) produced from a steep, sandy moraine site (350m) in Bolzano. It is known for a, structured, yet elegant profile, featuring cherry and spicy notes, typically aged in large wooden barrels.

Appellation: Südtirol DOC / St. Magdalener
Producer: Franz Gojer / Glögglhof
Grape Variety: Vernatsch / Schiava
Vintage: 2025
Wine Type: Red Wine
Franz Gojer’s St. Magdalener Rondell 2025 comes from the producer’s prized Rondell cru, considered one of his best parcels of Schiava in the St. Magdalener zone. This is a more serious and structured expression of Schiava, while still preserving the elegance, lift, and freshness that make Alto Adige reds so distinctive.
Sourced from older vines planted on a terraced, east-facing slope, this bottling shows more depth and complexity than a lighter everyday Schiava. It offers the grape’s classic charm — red berries, delicate florals, and bright freshness — with added savory, earthy notes and a touch of mild tannin.
Expect flavors of wild cherry, raspberry, red currant, dried flowers, alpine herbs, earth, and subtle spice. The wine is graceful and medium-light in body, with freshness, mineral tension, and enough structure to pair beautifully with food.
Food Pairing Suggestions:
Excellent with speck, prosciutto, roasted chicken, pork, veal, grilled sausages, mushroom dishes, alpine cheeses, pizza, pasta with tomato or mushroom sauce, and lighter red meat dishes. It also works very well slightly chilled with charcuterie boards and casual summer meals.

This Sauvignon is sourced from a south-facing parcel, giving the wine excellent ripeness while still preserving the freshness and lift that define Alto Adige whites. Unlike more tropical or overtly grassy Sauvignon Blanc styles, Gojer’s version is more refined and reserved, showing beautiful aromatics with a clean, mineral backbone.
Expect notes of white peach, citrus, tomato leaf, fresh herbs, and subtle mineral tones. The wine is crisp and focused, with elegant texture, bright acidity, and a refreshing finish. It is a polished mountain Sauvignon that balances aromatic character with restraint and finesse.

In Bué — one of Sancerre's most celebrated villages — the Crochet family has been growing Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc on Oxfordian and Kimmeridgian limestone for generations. Gilles Crochet, who trained at the legendary Domaine Dujac in Morey-Saint-Denis before returning to the family estate in 1983, brings a Burgundian sensibility to everything he makes. His Sancerre Rosé is one of the appellation's finest: 100% Pinot Noir, hand-harvested (a rare practice in Sancerre), direct-pressed, and aged six months on fine lees in stainless steel. No shortcuts, no compromises — just the visceral salinity and mineral precision that Crochet's limestone terroir delivers vintage after vintage. At $34.99, this is Sancerre Rosé at its most serious and most rewarding.
Pale pink in the glass with a nose of stunning intensity: vineyard peach, white pepper, and a subtle spicy lift that opens with aeration into citrus zest and fresh orange. Frank on the attack, the palate is both juicy and crisp — indulgent peach fruit supported by lively citrus and a fine, freshness-driven balance. The finish is long and persistent, with a refreshing return of menthol and mineral salinity. Drink now through 2028.
“Vinous without being at all overbearing, it offers the visceral salinity of the domaine’s white wines alongside the red-fruited elegance of Pinot Noir from these distinctive soils.”

Hand-harvested Pinot Noir, Kimmeridgian limestone, and six months on lees — Sancerre Rosé as it was meant to be made.

The 2024 is brilliantly transparent with the colour of light spun gold. The nose is a heady and rich creamy tropical fruit and mixed citrus without being overbearing. There’s an inviting freshness to it with soft minerals and subtle spices. I could drink this wine every day, and I don’t drink my own wines, typically. It’s mouthwatering with seamless structure.

James Suckling 94 Points | Aromas of crushed stones, dark berries, and blueberries follow through to a medium to full body with creamy tannins and a medium-chewy finish. Chocolate at the end. Two or three years of bottle age will bring this around nicely. Drink after 2024.
A standard-setting Super Tuscan red blend renowned for its intense and intriguing character. Ruffino Modus opens with aromas of mature red and black cherries, plums, and small blackberries. A blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot — each variety contributing structure, depth, and fruit complexity in equal measure.
Founded in 1877, Ruffino is one of Tuscany’s most storied wine estates. Modus — Latin for “method” or “measure” — was created to showcase the potential of blending international varieties with Sangiovese in the Toscana IGT classification, free from the constraints of traditional appellation rules. The result is a wine of remarkable consistency and age-worthiness at an accessible price point.
Grilled ribeye, braised short ribs, wild boar ragù, aged Pecorino, and classic Tuscan dishes. Equally rewarding with 2–3 years of additional cellaring.
This 100% Pinot Noir is hand sorted, destemmed, and aged in used oak for 12 months. This is a friendly red with loads of sunny, delicious red fruit, delicate whispers of smoke, and unmistakable Burgundian minerality. The tannins are present but fine, making the wine super approachable. This is the kind of red I would enjoy sipping by a crackling fire, reading a Victorian novel. This would pair beautifully with rabbit, venison, duck, or anything mushroom.

Food pairing:
• Roast chicken, turkey, or duck
• Mushroom dishes, lentils, earthy vegetarian plates
• Charcuterie & soft cheeses (Brie, Reblochon)
• Light pork dishes or grilled salmon

A dry, full-bodied red brimming with blackcurrant aromas, rich concentration of fruit, and intense flavors. Strong and structured, it finishes with a smooth, lingering warmth of vanilla and cloves — a classic Cabernet Sauvignon of excellent character and depth.
The Special Edition series from Hayotzer showcases high-quality classic varietals crafted for connoisseurs who appreciate fine wine. Grapes were harvested at full maturation, then cold-soaked before fermentation at controlled temperatures. Following three weeks of maceration, the wine was aged in barrel and blended from the finest barrels of the vineyard.

Seafood, risotto, fresh salads, creamy cheeses, and charcuterie. An exceptional aperitif for celebrations or quiet moments alike.
Alessio Dry Vermouth is the bartender’s secret weapon — and one of the most historically grounded dry vermouths on the market. Based on an Italian recipe influenced by the classic French-style dry vermouths of the 19th to mid-20th century, Alessio bridges two great vermouth traditions: the Piedmontese craftsmanship of northern Italy and the Marseille-inspired dry style that defined the golden age of cocktail culture. Crafted from aged Piedmont white wine and oxidized wine, aromatized with Piemontese herbs and aromatic spices, it delivers a complexity and authenticity that most modern vermouths simply cannot match.
The nose is intensely aromatic: herbal, savory, and layered with botanical depth. On the palate, it is crisp and dry with a rich quality of savory salinity, complex herbal character, and a pronounced yet beautifully balanced finish. The ideal ingredient for a Fifty-Fifty Martini — and equally at home in a Gibson, Negroni variation, or Vesper. Refrigerate after opening.
“The ideal ingredient for a traditional Fifty-Fifty Martini and any cocktail recipe specifying a Dry, Extra Dry, or French Vermouth.”
Aromatic, historically grounded, and built for the cocktail canon — Alessio Dry Vermouth is the benchmark for what a serious dry vermouth should be.

Just as “Flor de Pingus” and La Fleur Petrus are indicative o second tier offerings, so it goes with our La Fleur Cabernet Sauvignon.
The 2023 Robert Craig Winery La Fleur Cabernet Sauvignon exhibits deep, saturated color along with spicy, black fruit up front and a sturdy backbone of mineral and tannin. A significant amount of time in new French Oak barrels have rounded out the edges of this young Cabernet and given it a suppleness and integration that can’t be found with less expensive American oak or the dreaded barrel stave flavor treatment.
The 2023 Robert Craig "La Fleur Craig" Cabernet Sauvignon is a distinct, multi-appellation blend designed to offer Robert Craig’s signature mountain-grown quality at a more accessible price point.
The name "La Fleur" is a nod to famous "second wines" from Bordeaux (like La Fleur-Pétrus or Flor de Pingus), signaling that while this isn't the primary estate bottling, it shares the same pedigree and winemaking team.
Our La Fleur Cabernet is supple enough to enjoy immediately though it has the structure to benefit from additional cellaring.

to be harvested.

James Suckling 90 Points | Medium- to full-bodied, this is juicy and succulent with a saline note and dried herbs, the dark fruit well defined and balanced. 70% merlot and 30% cabernet franc. Try after 2028.
The 2023 Château Saint-André Corbin is a high-value Bordeaux red from Saint-Georges-Saint-Émilion, the smallest of the "satellite" appellations of Saint-Émilion. This vintage continues the estate’s reputation for producing "Right Bank" wines that punch well above their price point.
Meats: Roast lamb with Provencal herbs or a well-seasoned pork loin.
Regional Classic: Entrecôte à la Bordelaise (steak with a red wine and shallot reduction).
Vegetarian: Hearty mushroom risotto or roasted root vegetables.
Vinous 90 Points | The 2020 Citran is fortunately showing less reduction on the nose than it did from barrel, revealing blackberry and briary scents, touches of graphite and pressed iris flower. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins. Moderate depth, filling out nicely towards the finish. This is a fresh and tensile Citran that should age well over the next 15-20 years.
Jeb Dunnuck 90 Points | Red and black fruits, spice, saddle leather, and tobacco leaf notes all emerge from the 2020 Château Citran, a rock-solid, medium-bodied, balanced Haut-Médoc. It has the pure, focused, nicely structured style of the vintage and is going to evolve for 15 years or more.
James Suckling 89+ Points | A firm, racy wine with crushed-berry, walnut and spice character. Medium body and firm finish. A little austere now.
Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc
The 2020 Château Citran is a "rock-solid" representative of the Haut-Médoc, benefiting significantly from what many critics consider a legendary Bordeaux vintage. Historically one of the oldest estates in the Médoc, Citran is known for delivering classic, structured Left Bank profiles without the "Grand Cru" price tag.
Château Citran is currently owned by the Merlaut family (who also own the famed Chasse-Spleen). Their expertise in the Haut-Médoc shows through in the 2020—it offers the "saddle leather" and "cedar wood" complexity usually reserved for much more expensive bottles from nearby Margaux.
Pairing: This is a classic "meat and potatoes" wine. It pairs exceptionally well with grilled steak, lamb chops, or a hearty mushroom stew.
The Faiveley family has been rooted in Burgundy for nearly two centuries — seven generations of winemakers whose values have remained unchanged: a deep attachment to the region, an instinctive passion for terroir, and an innate respect for the land and the people who work it. Today, Domaine Faiveley is one of the largest estate owners in Burgundy, with holdings spanning the Côte de Nuits to the Côte Chalonnaise, producing some of the appellation’s most polished and collectible whites and reds. The Bourgogne Blanc is crafted from a blend of estate-grown Chardonnay and carefully selected fruit from trusted organic growers, matured for 8 to 10 months in the domaine’s cellars in Nuits-Saint-Georges, with a portion aged in oak barrels depending on the vintage. At $39.99, this is classic white Burgundy from one of the region’s most respected houses — exceptional quality for the appellation.
Brilliant pale greenish-yellow in the glass with an expressive, inviting nose of white flowers, ripe citrus, and a subtle mineral thread. On the palate: bold and generous on the attack, with good volume and a beautifully balanced structure — white stone fruit, lemon zest, and a creamy texture from the partial oak aging, finishing with exceptional length and persistence for a Bourgogne Blanc. Drink now through 2028. Pair with roast chicken, grilled sole, scallops, soft-ripened cheeses, or a simple plate of charcuterie.
Seven generations in Burgundy — Faiveley’s Bourgogne Blanc is classic white Burgundy at its most honest.
The Gush Etzion Blessed Valley Chardonnay Special Reserve has an intense aroma which gives off a scent of citrus blossoms, jasmine and ginger, alongside the smell of seasoned nuts which comes from the barrels. Medium-bodied, thick and rich but at the same time crisp and acidic.
The 2021 Vincent Girardin Saint Romain "Les Vieilles Vignes" is a standout example of why Saint Romain is often called Burgundy’s best-kept secret. Sitting at higher elevation than its famous neighbors in Meursault, Saint Romain produces wines with a signature bracing freshness and vivid minerality that set them apart from the richer, more opulent whites of the Côte de Beaune.
The "Vieilles Vignes" (Old Vines) designation indicates grapes from vines averaging 50+ years old — adding a layer of concentration and depth that younger vines simply cannot match. The result is a Chardonnay of real precision: taut, mineral-driven, and built to age.

With notes of Turkish Delight, raisins, walnuts, and dense fruit cake, this tier has a much greater richness and complexity than the Rutherglen tier, hinting at the mature wood-aged characters that will continue to develop as it ages. It’s the ideal middle ground for those who want a balance of youthful fruit and the beginnings of that beautiful, layered depth Muscat is known for.

Roberto Henríquez spent several years working in South Africa, Canada and France before going on to study agronomy and enology. In 2015 he moved back home to Biobío and began his own project based on the grape Pais, in part motivated by Louis Antoine Luyt.
Quickly he got a lot of recognition due to his most important work in principle of recovering the traditional viticultre in the South of Chile, by obtaining a delicate rusticity in all his wines. Torontel is a grape that evolved from a natural cross of Moscatel de Alejandria and Pais.
