Moreau-Naudet Chablis 1er Cru Beauregard 2022
$145.00The most south-westerly of all the Chablis Premiers Crus, Les Beauregards is one of its coolest due to its altitude and location at the end of Chablis’ Left Bank. It’s also one of the steepest (meaning the clay soils are shallow, and the limestone marl is never far from the surface) and one of the highest, rising […]

Stanton & Killeen Rutherglen Topaque NV (500ml)
$25.00Such a different expression. Topaque’s usually play second fiddle to Muscat, but that should definitely not be the case. Very complex and layered with a lovely tension between the sweet and savoury elements. Florals, honeycomb, salted caramel, grilled nuts, sultanas and savoury spice. It’s somehow lighter than the Muscat, yet shows more vivacity and stuffing. […]

Eastern Peake Original Block Pinot Noir 2022
$125.00Sourced from the estate’s 1983 plantings, with only one barrel produced (a mere 22 dozen released to the public). The linger of flavour here is excellent. This pinot noir puts some runs on the board and then some. It’s an earthen, spicy, cherry-and-strawberry-accented wine, with cedarwood oak, mint and sweetly extravagant herb notes pulsing throughout. […]

Eastern Peake 1989 Block Pinot Noir 2022

Vincent Dancer Pommard 1er Cru Les Pezerolles 2022
$590.00Les Pézerolles is a site just above Les Petits Épenots and Clos des Epeneaux and is, therefore, one of Pommard’s highest Premiers Crus. It regularly produces some of the village’s finest reds. It’s a site that gives finesse—in the context of Pommard—and is widely considered to generate a style that is as much Volnay as Pommard. Some big names work […]

Chatto Franklinii Pinot Noir 2023
$68.00The Franklinii is the most delicate, fine-boned china wine from the Chatto range. Wafting and cool, there’s a lot going on, but this is a little less immediate and needs coaxing and a little warming to unfurl. And unfurl it does.

Antoine Jobard Beaune 1er Cru Les Montrevenots 2021

Antoine Jobard Pommard 2021
$275.00“Also a nose of depth and guarded darker fruit. Broad, mouth-filling wine – a fine, grainless tannin as a support for everything else. Modest bitters add extra complexity to these finishing flavours. Another wine to wait for, but perhaps becoming accessible a little before the previous Beaune.” Bill Nanson, Burgundy Report “The 2021 Pommard Village has […]
