In this different format, Laurent Ponsot continues to use his experience, his craftsmanship and his passion to serve the terroir of Burgundy.

Jean Marie Fourrier Vigne Comte de Chapelle 1er Cru Morgeot Chassagne-Montrachet Chardonnay
The JM Fourrier 1er Cru Morgeot is an aromatic delight with an inviting nose of lemon, honeysuckle, and acacia. The floral aromas resolve on the elegantly textured palate with soft, fleshy stone fruits, and round-edged citrus. This well-refined Chassagne-Montrachet offers a sumptuous mouthfeel, persistent flavour, and great length.
Jean Marie Fourrier Vigne Comte de Chapelle Puligny Montrachet Cote de Beaune Chardonnay
An elegant and pure Puligny-Montrachet. This dry, medium-bodied Chardonnay offers vibrant citrus, white flower, and classic minerality, leading to a long, precise finish. A true expression of this revered Burgundian village.
Chateau dYquem 1er Cru Superieur Sauternes Sauvignon Blanc Semillion
Intense aromas of crème brûlée, dried pineapple, and botrytis-kissed apricot fill the senses, accented by a hint of vanilla and blossom. The taste is profoundly rich and full-bodied, yet exquisitely fresh, delivering layers of honeyed pear, sweet spices, and a mineral complexity that extends into a seemingly endless, harmonious finish.
Calcannia Chardonnay
Bright white gold with a hint of green, this elegant drop bursts with tropical guava, ripe pineapple, and white peach, wrapped in toasty French oak. A touch of citrus zest and nutty spice rounds out the nose. On the palate, think stone fruits, gentle oak spice, and a flicker of white pepper, all lifted by crisp acidity and a whisper of flinty minerality. Medium-bodied, zesty, and beautifully textured.
Tyrrell's Vat 1 Semillon
Tyrrell's Vat 1 Semillon is one of Australia's great white wines and has the capacity to age superbly in the bottle. This release continues the recent immaculate line up of Vat 1s that show classic citrus floral and honey aromas. The palate is dry, yet full-flavoured with lovely crisp acidity. Still only a relative baby in terms of Vat 1s longevity, this bottle will reward you for decades to come.
