Product Description: Chablis precision from a master of terroir. The 2023 Chablis from Domaine Samuel Billaud is a compelling showcase of one of the region’s most meticulous winemakers. With vines averaging 40 years of age and rooted in classic Kimmeridgian marl, this wine blends fruit from three standout climats—Les Pargues, Cartes-Fontenottes, and Bas de Chapelot. The result is a Chardonnay that’s pure, mineral-laced, and finely structured. Harvested entirely by hand and gently pressed, the juice undergoes slow, cold fermentation followed by 12 months of lees ageing in stainless steel. There's minimal oak influence, letting the crystalline fruit and signature oyster shell salinity shine through. This is Chablis with sharp focus—unforced, unmasked, unmistakably expressive. Drink from 2025 through 2034. It’s in top form with oysters, white fish carpaccio or lightly grilled lobster. Decant briefly if drinking young to awaken the full depth. Maker Samuel Billaud is a winemaker renowned for his precision, mastery, and dedication to producing wines that authentically express the complexities of Chablis’ exceptional terroir. Located in the heart of Chablis, with cellars dating back to the 13th century, Samuel Billaud combines the region’s rich history with modern techniques to create wines of remarkable freshness, firm structure, and intense minerality. With a focus on quality, Samuel sources grapes from some of the finest plots in Chablis, including Grand Cru vineyards such as Bougros, Valmur, Les Preuses, and Blanchot, and Premier Cru sites like Les Furnaces. Through a meticulous approach to both vineyard management and winemaking, Samuel ensures that each vintage reveals the true character of the land, producing wines that are complex, precise, and balanced. The Vineyard At Samuel Billaud, the philosophy is rooted in a deep respect for Chablis’ terroir, with the goal of revealing each vineyard’s unique expression through careful and precise winemaking. The estate’s vineyards, with an average age of 40 years, are planted on the Kimmeridgian clay-limestone marl, a soil type that imparts the characteristic minerality and freshness for which Chablis is renowned. The vines are managed using sustainable practices such as disbudding and ploughing, which help preserve the purity of the Chablis terroir while promoting the healthy growth of the vines. Samuel’s sourcing strategy is equally focused on quality, building trusted relationships with local winegrowers to access the best grapes from the region’s most exceptional sites. In the winery, Samuel Billaud is committed to maintaining balance and complexity in every wine. Fermentation is carefully monitored, with a focus on using low-temperature settling and gentle pressing to preserve the delicate flavours of the grapes. For certain Premier Cru and Grand Cru wines, Samuel favours fermentation in 450-litre barrels to add complexity, allowing the wines to interact with the lees and oxygen for optimal balance. Aging on fine lees in large containers enables the wines to develop mineral tension and freshness. After maturation, the wines are transferred to stainless steel vats for several months to emphasise their crispness and vibrancy. Through this process, Samuel Billaud’s wines reveal the true richness, elegance, and potential of the Chablis terroirs, reflecting the delicate balance between tradition and innovation.

Product Description: City-owned land. Underground talent. A Bourgogne that defies its label. Domaine de la Cras ‘Montrecul’ Bourgogne Rouge 2022 is one of the most compelling red Burgundies coming out of Dijon right now. Farmed organically by Marc Soyard—an alum of Domaine Bizot—this single-site Pinot Noir is grown on a steep, limestone-rich slope at 300 metres altitude, just inside the city limits. The vineyard might be municipal, but the wine is anything but bureaucratic. Vinified with 70% whole bunches and native yeasts, and aged in older barrels with minimal SO2, Montrecul 2022 is light-footed but structured. Expect bright red cherry, dried herbs, and a lick of spice over fine, savoury tannins. It’s unfiltered, unfined, and unmistakably personal—this is Pinot with both energy and edge. Perfect with duck breast, grilled mushrooms, or a wedge of washed-rind cheese. Drink now with a light chill, or hold for 3–5 years. Tasting Notes NOSE – Lifted and herbal Wild cherry, crushed herbs, and a touch of spice. PALATE – Tense and savoury Bright red fruit, supple tannins, and underlying earthiness. FINISH – Mineral and pure Limestone grip and gentle length with a herbal echo.

Product Description: A monopole Chardonnay rethinking what Burgundy can be. The 2022 Domaine de la Cras ‘Cras’ Monopole Bourgogne Blanc comes from an extraordinary project just outside Dijon, where winemaker Marc Soyard is rewriting the rules of regional Burgundy. Grown on the steepest, best-exposed section of the estate’s Chardonnay plantings, this wine reflects precision farming and a low-intervention approach learned from Soyard’s years at Domaine Bizot in Vosne-Romanée. Fermented with native yeasts and aged for at least 18 months in both new and seasoned barrels, ‘Cras’ Blanc is complex yet energetic. It’s unmistakably Burgundy, yet distinct—mineral, saline, and textural, with a kind of nervy freshness that speaks of marl, limestone, and elevation. Dijon may be known for Pinot, but this proves Chardonnay deserves just as much attention here. Pair it with grilled trout, aged Comté or roast chicken with tarragon. Drink now or cellar for five years. Tasting Notes NOSE – Bright and savoury Lemon zest, salted butter, white flowers and a touch of struck match. PALATE – Textural and layered Juicy citrus and yellow apple over a mineral frame with well-integrated oak. FINISH – Long and chalky Saline acidity with lingering notes of hazelnut and citrus pith.

G.H. Mumm Grand Cordon is all about making a statement. This signature cuvée means doing things your own way, creating your own style, and celebrating your own triumphant achievements. It’s about honouring the past, but with a reinterpretation for the future. The new, revolutionary Mumm Grand Cordon bottle breaks convention. It is the result of the combined dynamism of Chef de Caves Didier Mariotti and designer Ross Lovegrove. Their meeting of the minds created an optimal oenological shape with a long and slender neck to accompany the development of aromas in the wine. Visually the bottle is unique. A red ribbon is indented into the glass in place of a traditional label, making a powerful statement celebrating the iconic red sash of the Maison. Experience this fresh approach and appreciate the pleasure and power of Pinot Noir. Embrace and celebrate its energy and stylish unconformity as the intensity of the wine frees your mind from the confines of what was before. This champagne is a brightly sparkling, light golden yellow liquid with an abundance of fine and elegant bubbles. The nose reveals initial aromas of ripe fresh fruit (white and yellow peaches, apricots), tropical notes (lychee and pineapple). It then opens up with the fragrance of vanilla before developing notes of milky caramel, breadcrumbs and yeast, culminating in aromas of dried fruit and honey. An explosion of freshness in the mouth, followed by strong persistence. The complex aromas of fresh fruit and caramel perpetuate the intensity. Mumm Grand Cordon signifies triumph and elation – a symbol of success to be experienced and celebrated, whether as a toast for the ultimate moment or savoured with a meal of white meat or fish such as monkfish or red mullet.
