Some of the favourites from the online New Arrivals
The natural
- AvailableOnline Not availableIn store"If you respect nature, she will return the favour". For the Chasselays, the ultimate way to let a terroir and a grape express themselves is to let them be! This organic Gamay is produced according to a “natural” philosophy, without input and a minimal dose of sulfur during bottling. This cuvée expresses all its fruit after chilling in the fridge for around 40 minutes. Perfect as an aperitif with sausage bites or to accompany a ham grilled cheese.
Very chill red
- AvailableOnline Not availableIn storeThe name of this appellation is undoubtedly to be reviewed as it is full of big surprises! Frédéric Prain masterfully manages this estate comprised of 13 hectares. Dry, tight and beautifully delicate, it revels scents of grapefruit, lemon and white fruits, joined by the very chablisienne minerality. A perfect match for oysters, all the way to your main dish of pesto, shrimp and goat cheese pasta.
Refreshing red
- AvailableOnline Not availableIn store
The name of this cuvée geographically locates the historic farm, Cantina Girlan, at 448 meters above sea level. Fermented in stainless steel casks and aged in concrete, this rosso offers bright fruit and a high drinkability index. A great match for veal scallopini Milanese or roasted poultry.
Volcano wine
- AvailableOnline Not availableIn storeBorn from the hillsides of Etna, the biggest volcano still active in Europe, this cuvée offers a novel profile thanks to the Nerello Mascalese variety, which is perfectly-suited for volcanic soils. To temper the sometimes very “solar” profile of southern Italian cuvées, the appellation combines its scents of cherry and dried herbs to a quite dry, not very tannic texture. Pair with a burger, marinated chicken skewer or grilled tuna filet.
The organic surprise
- AvailableOnline Not availableIn store
A true free spirit, Patrice Lescarret magnifies the full potential of this appellation with little-known grape varieties grown at very low yields. Certified biodynamic, the estate strives to limit interventions and the use of sulfur in their wine production. This cuvée will definitely steal your heart and take you travelling, as a marked fruitiness, notes of dried herbs and pepper join in a perfect symbiosis, following a fresh attack. To be served slightly chilled with charcuteries or a duck confit salad.
The exotic gin
-
AvailableOnline Not availableIn storeLooking for a change of scenery? This is the gin you need. Inspired by the spice route and a time when merchants had to travel thousands of kilometers to deal and trade them, its style will no-doubt captivate you. Round, well-balanced and graced with a well-integrated alcohol sensation, it offers spicy aromas marked by Indonesian cubeb berry, tellicherry pepper and cardamom from India, as well as scents of cumin.
