Light-medium in weight; zippy citrus & dried floral notes with toasty brioche towards the finish.

Bright and crisp - good acidity. Very versatile pairing with a variety of fish, shellfish and salads.

Fresh, mineral. Bright acidity, and a balanced measure of the floral notes one expects with Sancerre but with a little more weight and texture.

A rich and structured rosé, peppercorn aromas, with ripe grapefruit and melon notes

Medium bodied, ripe plum and cedar. Concentrated but lively, with balanced silky tannins and a long spiced finish; anise and clove.

Question 7

Ladoix, Edmund Cornu 2017 Burgundy FRA

Bright, red cherry fruit with notes of olive and mushroom. A more restrained expression of Pinot Noir than you would find outside of Burgundy.

Question 8

Beaujolais-Villages, Jean Foillard 2021, Beaujolais, France

Answer 8

A light style wine made of Gamay, this Beaujolais strays slightly from the beaten path - a little more savory, mushroom and olives.

Bourgogne Blanc, Maison Jessiaume 2022 Burgundy FRA

Answer 9

Medium bodied, baked fruit and pastry on the nose. Key lime pie - cooked citrus and pith plus graham crackers. Rich and decadent.

Question 10

Chablis, Sébastien Christophe 2022 Burgundy FRA

Answer 10

While featuring a citrusy and saline profile, this Chablis has some body and weight. Medium-high acid makes this an easy pairing option with virtually everything on our menu.

Champagne Brut Rosé, Billecart-Salmon NV, Marne FRA Half Bottle

Answer 11

Strawberries and cream, with a toasty, buttery finish. Some baking spice balances out the fruit.

Mineral-driven, big tropical fruit notes.

Question 13

Pauillac, Château Pedesclaux 2017 Bordeaux, FRA Half Bottle

We currently offer the 2015 vintage on our bottle list, but this 2017 is giving notes of pencil shavings and plum. Medium bodied and chewy.
