Pierro Chardonnay
Margaret River is a world renowned Chardonnay producing region and Pierro can rightfully stake a claim as to why. Incredibly complex, it is a tangle of fine-boned acid, lees complexity, pristine fruit and the most detailed use of good quality oak. Extremely enjoyable now, but will benefit from short to medium term cellaring.
Perrier-Jouët Blanc De Blanc Non-Vintage
Pale gold with hints of green, PerrierJouët Blanc de Blancs awakens the senses with enticing aromas of hedgerow flowers elderberry, acacia and honeysuckle and tangy citrus. On the palate, its mineral freshness lingers into a surprisingly smooth, mellow finish, which adds to the charm of this delightfully lively, luminous champagne.

Benjamin Leroux Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru Les Hauts Jarrons
Ruinart R de Ruinart Brut Non-Vintage

A large majority of Premiers Crus from the Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims vineyards for aromatic refinement, supplemented by Sézannais wines known to provide maturity.

Pio Cesare Piodilei Langhe Chardonnay D.O.C.
Pio Cesare have been making wines in their ancient cellars in central Alba for 141 years, from their vineyards based primarily in Barolo and Barbaresco. Today, fifth generation Federica Boffa with her cousin Cesare Benvenuto lead this prestigious estate, after the untimely passing of Pio Boffa in 2021 after 40 years as the face of Pio Cesare. The winegrowing is sustainable and the winemaking largely traditional resulting in wines of great elegance, structure and purity. The fruit for the Pio Cesare Piodilei Langhe Chardonnay D.O.C. 2020 is sourced from family-owned vineyards in the Mosconi vineyard in Monforte d’Alba. Since the 1985 vintage, it represents our desire to produce a white wine with the same body, complexity and ageing potential of the great reds historically produced in the area. The grapes are picked in small baskets, then softly pressed at low temperature. The fermentation starts in stainless steel tanks and then finished in French oak barriques, 30% new oak, for 8 months with extensive lees contact. On the nose are elegant flavours of ripe fruit and hints of spice. The palate is spicy, creamy and intense with sweet ripe fruit, very fresh with an elegant touch of oak and a long soft aromatic finish.
Domaine Samuel Billaud Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos
Product Description: The bouquet is deeply Chablisien—wet stone, citrus zest, iodine, and subtle smoke, layered with hints of honey, pear, and bread crust. On the palate, it’s coiled and chalky, with prodigious dry extract and racy acids. This is not a wine that shows all at once; it reveals itself in layers, with time and air. Expect this to cellar gracefully through 2041. Serve with lobster, turbot in beurre blanc, or aged Comté if you’re pulling a cork early. Tasting Notes NOSE – Flint and citrus Pear skin, lemon zest, iodine and crushed stone, with gentle smoke and spice. PALATE – Deep and driven Structured and mineral, with layers of yellow fruit, chalk, and ginger spice. FINISH – Saline and persistent A long, mouth-watering finish with precise acidity and lingering minerality. Reviews & Accolades There are only 300 bottles of the 2021 Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos, but the wine has turned out superbly, mingling aromas of citrus zest, clear honey, white flowers, wet stones, freshly baked bread and iodine in a classically Chablisien bouquet. Medium to full-bodied, deep and chalky, with prodigious reserves of dry extract, racy acids and a long, saline finish, anyone lucky enough to taste it will be delighted. – Wine Advocate, (2023) Finer Details: Style - White Wine Varietal - Chardonnay Country - France Region - Chablis Vintage - 2021 Bottle Size - 750ml ABV - 13% Closure - Cork
Domaine Samuel Billaud Chablis Grand Cru Les Preuses
Product Description: Elegance and precision characterise the Domaine Samuel Billaud Chablis Grand Cru Les Preuses 2023. Situated on a gently sloping section of the Grand Cru hillside between Vaudésir and Bougros, Les Preuses is revered for wines that unite refinement with quiet power. The vineyard rests on classic Kimmeridgian limestone soils packed with marine fossils, giving the wine its unmistakable chalky minerality and saline lift. The 2023 vintage delivered beautifully balanced fruit, combining ripe citrus character with preserved natural acidity. Samuel Billaud’s careful vinification, favouring stainless steel and restrained neutral oak, allows the terroir to express itself with clarity and composure. Aromatically the wine shows lemon peel, white peach and green apple layered over crushed shell and wet stone. On the palate it is poised and finely textured, neither as delicate as Blanchot nor as powerful as Les Clos, instead occupying a harmonious middle ground. The structure is firm yet polished, supported by a persistent mineral backbone and vibrant energy. With cellaring it will develop greater complexity while retaining freshness and definition. It pairs beautifully with lobster, scallops, turbot and refined shellfish dishes. Tasting Notes NOSE – Refined and mineral Aromas of lemon zest, green apple and white peach with oyster shell, chalk dust and subtle floral hints. PALATE – Balanced and precise Citrus and orchard fruit framed by lively acidity, silky texture and a pronounced limestone mineral core. FINISH – Long and harmonious A persistent finish with saline freshness, citrus oil and lingering stony minerality. Reviews & Accolades “Aromas of citrus oil, pear and white flowers introduce a medium to full-bodied, layered wine with fine concentration, lively acids and a long, mineral finish.” — William Kelley, Wine Advocate, 94–96 points (barrel review) Finer Details: Style – White Wine Varietal – Chardonnay Country – France Region – Chablis Grand Cru, Burgundy Vineyard – Les Preuses Vintage – 2023 Bottle Size – 750ml ABV – 13%
Domaine Samuel Billaud Chablis Grand Cru Bougros
Product Description: Structure and energy define the Domaine Samuel Billaud Chablis Grand Cru Bougros 2023. Bougros lies at the western end of the Grand Cru hillside, where a slightly warmer exposure and deeper clay-limestone soils give wines broader shoulders while still retaining classic Chablis tension. The Kimmeridgian bedrock, filled with ancient marine fossils, imparts a pronounced saline minerality and firm chalk backbone. The 2023 vintage shows excellent balance, with ripe fruit supported by vibrant acidity preserved through careful picking decisions. Samuel Billaud vinifies with precision, using stainless steel alongside restrained neutral oak ageing to maintain purity while allowing gentle texture to form. Aromatically the wine opens with lemon zest, pear and white peach, layered with oyster shell and flinty notes. On the palate it is fuller and more powerful than the more delicate Grand Crus, yet remains precise and lifted by mineral freshness. A firm structural core gives the wine impressive depth and ageing capacity, promising additional complexity over time. This is a confident and expressive Grand Cru Chablis, well suited to lobster, crab, roasted scallops or richer seafood dishes in butter sauce. Tasting Notes NOSE – Expressive and stony Aromas of ripe lemon, green pear and white peach with crushed shell, flint and chalk dust. PALATE – Broad yet focused Generous citrus and orchard fruit framed by lively acidity, creamy texture and a pronounced limestone mineral core. FINISH – Persistent and saline Long and mouth-watering, finishing with citrus oil, wet stone and lingering maritime salinity. Reviews & Accolades “Offering notes of citrus zest, orchard fruit and oyster shell, the wine is medium to full-bodied, layered and lively, with fine concentration and a long, mineral finish.” — William Kelley, Wine Advocate, 93–95 points (barrel review) Finer Details: Style – White Wine Varietal – Chardonnay Country – France Region – Chablis Grand Cru, Burgundy Vineyard – Bougros Vintage – 2023 Bottle Size – 750ml ABV – 13%
Domaine Samuel Billaud Chablis Grand Cru Blanchot
Product Description: Purity and refinement distinguish the Domaine Samuel Billaud Chablis Grand Cru Blanchot 2023. Blanchot sits on the eastern edge of the Grand Cru slope, where cooler morning exposures and pale Kimmeridgian limestone soils encourage delicacy, aromatics and fine structure rather than sheer power. The site is known for producing the most elegant and floral of the Grand Crus, and the 2023 vintage captures that identity with remarkable clarity. Careful vineyard management ensured balanced ripeness while preserving vibrant natural acidity. Samuel Billaud’s restrained élevage, combining stainless steel with subtle neutral oak, enhances texture while maintaining transparency of terroir. In the glass the wine shows lifted citrus blossom, white peach and lemon curd over a distinct chalk and oyster shell minerality. Compared with the muscularity of Les Clos, Blanchot offers a more airy, satin-textured profile with graceful intensity. The palate unfolds gently yet persistently, revealing depth through precision rather than weight. With time in bottle it will gain honeyed and hazelnut nuances while retaining its crystalline line of acidity. It pairs beautifully with scallops, poached lobster, delicate white fish or lightly creamy seafood preparations. Tasting Notes NOSE – Elegant and lifted Aromas of lemon blossom, white peach and green apple with chalk dust, oyster shell and subtle floral perfume. PALATE – Silken and precise Fine citrus and orchard fruit layered over a supple texture, bright acidity and pronounced limestone minerality. FINISH – Lingering and graceful A long, refined finish showing saline freshness, citrus oil and delicate stony persistence. Reviews & Accolades “Aromas of citrus oil, white flowers and fresh pear introduce a medium to full-bodied, satiny and precise wine, with fine depth at the core and a long, mineral finish.” — William Kelley, Wine Advocate, 94–96 points (barrel review) Finer Details: Style – White Wine Varietal – Chardonnay Country – France Region – Chablis Grand Cru, Burgundy Vineyard – Blanchot Vintage – 2023 Bottle Size – 750ml ABV – 13%
