Castello Di Querceto Chianti Classico 2023 Red wine | 750 ml Italy , Tuscany
Aromatic and robust
$27.50Available Online Not available In storeLocated in the northeast of Chianti Classico, about seven kilometres from Greve, Castello di Querceto sits among the Tuscan hills, bordered by oak trees that inspired the estate’s name. Benefiting from at least 10 months of aging in concrete and steel tanks, followed by two months of rest in bottles, this wine charms with its supple texture and overall harmony, evoking cherry, herbs, and dried tomatoes, in a style that is both traditional and delightfully appealing. -
Available Online Not available In storeIn Arbois, Chardonnay finds in the Jura’s marl-limestone soils an ideal terrain to express its personality. The Marcel Cabelier brand, belonging to the négociant La Maison du Vigneron, offers here a distinctive and approachable cuvée that reveals its uniqueness. The style highlights the natural tension linked to the appellation’s cool climate, with a resolutely dry profile, while allowing room for the milky and hazelnut notes so emblematic of the region’s white wines. It will naturally accompany oily-fleshed fish, pasta, or poultry in a cream sauce; also try it with firm cheeses and a handful of salted walnuts. -
Available Online Not available In storeIn the Niagara Peninsula, the moderating influence of Lake Ontario allows European grape varieties to reach optimal ripeness. The growing season stretches on without excessive heat, encouraging a slow and steady maturation of the grapes. This is what notably enables the Gamay in this cuvée to achieve a harmonious balance while retaining its natural freshness. A leading estate in the mastery of this grape variety, Malivoire has long accustomed us to eloquent demonstrations of Gamay’s potential outside Beaujolais, and here it expresses itself beautifully. At the table, it will naturally accompany charcuterie, roast chicken, vegetarian dishes, or simple and convivial bistro-style cuisine. -
Nicolas Grosbois Bourgueil Clos de la Henry Monopole 2023 Red wine | 750 ml France , Vallée de la Loire
Fruity and medium-bodied
$24.40Available Online Available In storeAnother beautiful cuvée crafted by Nicolas Grosbois, this time born of a collaboration with Samuel Demon, a long-time neighbour and family friend. A rare thing in the Bourgueil appellation, the wine comes from a monopole: here, a clos enclosed by stone walls for nearly four centuries. The vines, about 25 years old, are harvested by hand and faithfully express this clay-and-tuffeau terroir. Serve it slightly chilled with grilled meats, beef tartare, or a comforting aubergine gratin.

Available Online Not available In storeAccording to Charles Hours, a leading figure in the region, “Pyrenees, patience and passion make the great wines of Jurançon”. With his daughter Marie, he produces this cuvée according to the rules of biodynamics. Both tense and generous, it reveals complex aromas and a very appreciable length in the mouth. A wine built for food that will make grilled salmon or poultry with hazelnut sauce shine.
