  1. Taking over the family estate after some 10 years of experience as a wine merchant was certainly constructive for Éric Chevalier. Now known as one of the rising stars of the region, he is all about terroir expression. He signs a light and tonic Muscat featuring flavours of lemon zest, beeswax, apple and chalk.
  2. P'tit Max, as we like to call Guy Breton in Beaujolais, took over the family estate in 1987 at the insistence of the renowned Marcel Lapierre. Using no synthetic product in the production of his wines, he crafts little gems like this pure juice Gamay. Crisp to perfection, it smells of red berries, peony and pink pepper. A thirst-quenching red to serve with friends as an aperitif or to complement white meat dishes.
  3. An important family business located in the magnificent Alsatian region, this estate offers its organic version of Riesling, the king grape variety of the appellation. Coming from organic farming, this is an immediate charmer: a mouth both ample and textured, then leading to a liveliness typical of the varietal. Great as an aperitif or with shrimp ceviche, it will also accompany Easter brunch and the ham omelette from your favourite sugar shack

  4. Elevated to the rank of cru of Rhône wines in 2010, the Rasteau AOC stands south facing the Dentelles de Montmirail. Benefiting from a Mediterranean-influenced climate and hillside roots, the Grenache and Syrah vines here produce a gourmet wine under the control of Michel Chapoutier. Perfect for burgers on the grill or to accompany a reinvented sugar shack meal!

  5. Natural in approach and in style, this white from Sauro Maule admirably conveys all the potential of the Gambellara volcanic terroir. Fresh, fruity and floral, it gets its purity and brilliance from fermentation initiated by indigenous yeasts and an absence of sulfur and filtration before bottling. Perfect to liven up discussions during your aperitif. Store a few bottles to mark the arrival of spring!

  6. Does Poire Williams ring a bell? Taste all its finesse and complexity in an enveloping liqueur presented in a magnificent bottle that will make a great impression on any occasion. In a cocktail or on its own to treat yourself, you'll love its roundness and personality that explores all nuances of the fruit, featuring ripe, caramelized, almost spicy pear notes. Try it alongside an orchard fruit dessert delicately enhanced with a touch of maple syrup.
