The grapes for this wine are sourced from the main four appellations, including Sancerre and Pouilly Fume, which are known for their racy, mineral-driven style. The nose is fresh and vibrant with notes of lime zest, ruby grapefruit, green pear and mandarin oranges. There is an undercurrent of wet stones throughout. True to its terroir, it is refreshing with moderate acidity but it also has some weight in the mid-palate due to being aged on its fine lees.

92 Points, Decanter (for 2020 vintage)
Domaine Bernard Defaix is a highly-rated family estate based in Milly, with the vines for this bottling averaging 30 years age. Ten months lees ageing adds to the complexity on both the nose and palate. Refined, classy and complex characters on show here, which meld beautifully with the ripe peachy fruit notes. A very fine, expressive, distinctive Chablis which is ready to drink now but will age very well for many years.

Le Poggere Bianco Est! Est!! Est!!! di Montefiascone
$19.99 x 12
Regular price $212.28 PER CASE
This wine is from the northwest part of Lazio, near the border with Umbria. Legend has it that a bishop traveling to Rome would send a scout ahead of time to establish which inns were offering the best wines and he'd mark them with the word Est (which translates to “it is” in Latin). When he reached Montefiascone, the wine was so excellent there that the scout noted “Est! Est!! Est!!!” on the local inn’s front door, and so this wine is a nod to this story.
A blend of three native grapes. It has refreshing lemon and green apple notes, some minerally sensations and a little breadiness. On the palate, it's refreshing, citric and savoury with lots of bright acidity and a lively fish.

Echeverria Sauvignon Blanc Reserva / Curico Valley, Chile

Telmo Rodriguez Basa / Rueda, Spain
Basa is made from Verdejo and Viura grapes in the Rueda DO, about two hours northwest of Madrid. The region is famous for fresh white wines made from Verdejo and this is a fitting example. The name comes from the 40-year-old 'baso' or bush-trained vines that are planted on limestone-rich soils at over 700-meters elevation on a plateau along the Duero River. The vineyard is farmed organically, and fermentation is carried out spontaneously with native yeast. Expect a fresh, fruit-driven white wine with just the right balance between charming fruit and aromatic complexity.

When he reached Montefiascone, the wine was so excellent there that the scout noted “Est! Est!! Est!!!” on the local inn’s front door, and so this wine is a nod to this story.

40% Viognier, 30% Vermentino, 30% Colombard. Beautifully clear, a very pale golden color with tints of green, revealing a lovely freshness. Very expressive with lemony notes. Lovely Freshness. The light, aromatic roundness comes from the Viognier grape, while the Colombard contributes the body. An easy-drinking wine, ideal to share with friends. Pair with grilled mussels, monkfish with fennel, oysters, or on its own as an aperitif.
Hess Shirtail Ranches Chardonnay / California, USA
Our 352 acre Shirtail Creek estate vineyard takes advantage of Monterey’s cooling fog and Pacific coastal breezes, drawn across the Gabilan Mountains into the Salinas Valley, creating an ideal climate for growing Chardonnay. The moderate temperatures lengthen the growing season, allowing the fruit to evolve with layers of distinct Central Coast flavors. Our Chardonnay is fermented and aged in stainless tanks without any oak or malolactic influence. Shirtail Ranches Chardonnay is a hallmark representation of a coastally-influenced wine. We age this Chardonnay sur lie for approximately 6 months.

Sancerre La Guiberte
$49.99 x 6
Regular price $265.43 PER CASE
Winemaker Notes
Pale yellow in colour with green and golden highlights. The first smell is discreet with herbaceous hints (nettle, tomato leaves, and menthol). Then the nose reveals notes of elder blossom, citronella, and thyme. Frank in attack, the palate refreshes with its acidulous balance where lemon and grapefruit prevail. On the finish, notes of pears in syrup. Try a perfect marriage of flavours by pairing white Sancerre and Crottin de Chavignol goat cheese.

$62.99 x 6
Regular price $334.46 PER CASEWinemaker Notes
We cultivate 8 hectares of this Premier Cru located on the slopes of the village Milly and on the right backs of the river Serein. We are the biggest owners of this cru.
When some of the plots were planted, we found impressive fossils of Exogyra virgula that had been perfectly preserved. The remarkable stony and sunny soil is captured in this powerful and complex wine. It flourishes with age and expresses mineral aromas reminiscent of gunflint. The Côte de Lechet is indeed one of the Premiers Crus of the Chablisian vineyard with the most exceptional ageing potential. To serve with fish or poultry, with white butter or cream sauces.
Côtes du Jura Blanc
$46.99 x 6
Regular price $249.50 PER CASE
Notes
Classic Jura notes of funky sherry-like nuttiness, flor, ripe pears, baked apples with a briny minerality and zippy acidity. Keep in mind: not your typical French Chardonnay; open several hours before serving; can stay open for well over a week; can out live you and your children in the cellar. They’re still selling bottles from the 1800’s!

Gaba do Xil O Barreiro
$33.99 x 12
Regular price $360.96 PER CASE
This is the white wine from Telmo’s Gaba do Xil project in Galicia. It hails from Valdeorras (“Valley of Gold”) in eastern Galicia, a region once famous for gold mining and now best known for its unique and complex wines made from the indigenous Godello grape.
The rocky, terraced vineyards are famously difficult to farm, but Telmo and many others believe that this ancient soil and harsh terrain offer a unique combination of factors that produce wines like no others. Made with 100% Godello from high elevation vineyards that have been organically farmed, with fermentation by indigenous yeasts, in stainless steel witanks, this is a more serious white for those who enjoy minerality and complexity in their wines.
The wine is named for the river Sil that flows through the region (Xil is its ancient name, used by the Celtic people who once inhabited the area). Many of the river’s tributaries are flanked on either side by vineyards, planted in terraces on steep slate hillsides. The label displays a dozen bridges, symbolizing the idea of crossing from one vineyard plot to another.

$264.99
Regular price $233.44 PER CASEThis case contains 1 of each wine:
Vincent Caille X Bulles NV / Loire Valley, France
A fresh sparkling wine from the Loire Valley. The Melon grape brings the thinness of the bubbles, a salinity and the “minerality” to X Bulles. The Côt brings aromas of raspberry. This combination gives a well-balanced wine between fruits and freshness.
Raats Original Chenin Blanc 2022 / Stellenbosch, South Africa
The wine has a distinctive yellow apple, kiwi fruit and pineapple core, alongside notes of green melon and limes. The wine is thus bursting with fresh fruit flavors. The wine has a zesty citrus flavor linger on the palate, with a long mineral finish. Serve with mild curry dishes, sushi or oysters.
Alain Gueneau Sancerre La Guiberte 2021 / Loire Valley, France
Pale yellow in colour with green and golden highlights. The first smell is discreet with herbaceous hints (nettle, tomato leaves, and menthol). Then the nose reveals notes of elder blossom, citronella, and thyme. Frank in attack, the palate refreshes with its acidulous balance where lemon and grapefruit prevail. On the finish, notes of pears in syrup. Try a perfect marriage of flavours by pairing white Sancerre and Crottin de Chavignol goat cheese.
Il Poggione Rosso di Montalcino 2020 / Tuscany, Italy
Produced entirely from Sangiovese grapes, sourced in the estate's younger vineyards, Rosso di Montalcino is aged in large casks and barriques before a period of bottle aging. The wood aging, although not obligatory for the production of Rosso di Montalcino, tones down the tannins typical of a young Sangiovese and gives this red wine a complexity of aroma and structure that make it a great "Young Brunello".
Intense ruby red colour. Fruity bouquet with red berry notes. Very well structured, yet soft, long-lasting flavour with smooth, velvety tannins.
Vargas Rioja Reserva 2017 / Rioja, Spain
The handpicked grapes used for our Marqués de Vargas Reserva come from our 50 hectare vineyard “Hacienda Pradolagar”. Herbicides and pesticides are not used in our vineyards, occasionally only organic fertilizers are employed. The wine is made traditionally according to the old-world methods side by side with state-of-the-art technology. The wine is bottled without any fining or filtering resulting in an unprocessed and fully natural wine.
This wine is ruby in color. There is a freshness to it but the nose is rich and concentrated. It is silky on the palate with notes of blackberries, spice, dark chocolate and some balsamic from American/French/Russian barrels.
Ata Rangi Crimson Pinot Noir 2021 / Martinborough, New Zealand
Crimson is our selection of fruit from younger parcels of vines from our various vineyards on the Martinborough Terrace. In their youth, vines tend to be more fruit expressive, gaining more complexity with time. Now, Crimson is developing more depth of flavour, with a mix of vines aged from 5 to 20 years.
The nose is complex and beguiling with notes of cranberry, raspberry, caraway and an earthy spice note. The season of 2018 has delivered a finely structured palate, with a gentle sweet entry and enticing bramble fruits and finishes with a flourish of fine savoury tannins – classic Martinborough.
Pouilly‐Fumé Terres Blanches

Regular price $382.25 PER CASE

Biodynamic practices are taken within the vineyard and winery and the wines are naturally fermented in stainless steel vats with indigenous yeasts and aged in either vat, barrique or amphora.
91 Points, James Suckling
A coating of ash and stone over the ripe citrus-fruit and apple notes on the nose. Turns to sweet apple and pear flavors on the medium-bodied, dense and silky palate. Quite a round, fruity feel, but the drive of acidity keeps it moving. The mineral notes return in the aftertaste. From organically grown grapes. Drink now.
91 Points, Rebecca Gibb (Vinous)
The 2019 Sancerre Terres Blanches is now starting toblossom. It provides appetizing drinking with its mid-palate tenderness, floral and orchard fruit flavors and hints of lees-derived almond croissant. This wine gives both a gentle embrace and a fine line thanks to its mouthwatering acidity and the vineyard'sterres blanches–clay and limestone soils.--

Dr. L Riesling (Vintages)
$16.95 x 12
Regular price $180.00 PER CASE
This popular, classic Mosel Riesling is always a superb value. It's made with a gentle sweetness that's kept in balance by Riesling's firm natural acidity.

Grillo
$25.99 x 12
Regular price $276.00 PER CASEWinemaker Notes
The grapes are hand-picked and then delicately destemmed and crushed.

Among the green hills of Western Sicily, a few kilometres from the ancient Norman town of Monreale, the Di Lorenzo family cultivates one of the native Sicilian grapes par excellence, Grillo. This bright yellow wine with pale greenish highlights is made from a careful selection of bunches of grapes.

Gewuztraminer Altenbourg
$92.99 x 6
Regular price $493.75 PER CASE
17/20 points, Jancis Robinson
Full bottle 1,365 g. Demeter certified biodynamic. From the vineyard just below Grand Cru Furstentum. Quite some fruity sweetness on the palate plus real energy. Polished, smooth texture and a little dry pungency on the finish. This is far from the most opulently varietal Gewurz, and seems to communicate vineyard more than variety. Really quite long. Lots of smoky undertow. Serve cool, with something salty and savoury – charcuterie?
Fief Des Coteaux Gabbro
$34.99 x 6
Regular price $185.79 PER CASE
Winemaker Notes
The objective, simple but ambitious, to produce this cuvee is the optimal search of quality.It begins by applying rules of organic and biodynamic farming to the vineyards.Regarding our “Fief des Coteaux”, we took into account the choice of the terroir and the origin of the plants. A wine that is long on the palate, powerful, well-structured and with a present minerality.
Ronceray
$87.99 x 6
Regular price $467.20 PER CASE
Winemaker Notes
A terroir from which world-renowned sweet wines are produced, the Chaume 1er Cru and Quarts-de-Chaume Grand Cru appellations also have the capacity to produce great dry whites. The Ronceray cuvée refers to the Abbey of the same name, owner of the Chaume vineyard from the 11th century. Until the French revolution the lords of Haute-Guerche, farming this vineyard, were paying the nuns with "the best quarter of the harvest"... The "Quarts-de-Chaume" name was born.
Ronceray is a complex wine, resulting from the blend of our plots on the rump of Quarts-de-Chaume. A terroir with complex geology, the marriage of shales and pudding sandstones gives this cuvée a sharp minerality and a floral and fruity richness. A fine bitterness, signature of this terroir, brings complexity and length on the palate.
Pouilly‐Fumé Caillottes
$79.99 x 6
Regular price $424.73 PER CASE
This wine comes from the first certified organic estate in the Loire Valley and in 2021 they will be fully biodynamic certified as well. The wines are made from 10 hectares worth of Sauvignon Blanc planted around the winery, which is located in the village of Saint Andelain on the east side of the Loire (facing Sancerre). Biodynamic practices are taken within the vineyard and winery and the wines are naturally fermented in stainless steel vats with indigenous yeasts and aged in either vat, barrique or amphora.
The vines for this wine are grown in limestone. The wine has a very fresh nose with mineral notes to it. This mineral sensation continues on the palate; the wine is fresh and elegant with an abundance of citrus fruit.
92 Points, Rebecca Gibb (Vinous)
The 2019 Sancerre Caillotttes is a very pure wine that might be full in body and seamless in texture but displays a light touch. The wine coats the palate with a powdery texture, as if it were a red wine. The long finish is redolent of gunsmoke and almond.
Muscadet Mouton Noir
$28.99 x 12
Regular price $307.86 PER CASE
Winemaker Notes
Young and fruity Muscadet with aromas of citrus, good minerality. Pairs perfectly with seafood and freshwater fish.
Sauvignon Blanc
$27.99 x 12
Regular price $297.24 PER CASEWinemaker Notes
The grapes are pressed and the juice undergoes active maceration on the lees for five days at 5 to 8°C. This helps to release and preserve as many of the aroma precursors in the skins as possible, which will later reveal the typical aromas of the Sauvignon Blanc grape when they come into contact with native yeast. On fine lees in vats and eggs. This helps prevent oxidation of the wine’s aromas and adds richness, body and complexity on the palate.
A pale, bright yellow colour with some touches of green. White peach and mint aromas come through first on the nose, then mingle with lemony touches. Elegant on the palate with beautiful balance between a soft attack and a lingering, mouth-watering mineral finish.
Pouilly Fume le Chant des Vignes
$52.99 x 6
Regular price $281.36 PER CASE
Winemaker Notes
Brilliant, tenderly straw yellow colour. Intense and fresh nose with lemony notes. The mouth opens with elegance and volume. The notes of lime underline the minerality of this wine revealing a pleasant, aromatic finish.
Pouilly-Fuissé
$73.99 x 6
Regular price $392.87 PER CASEWinemaker Notes
Organic and biodynamic farming. Whole cluster press into stainless steel and fermentation with natural yeasts. Aged on lees for 11 months before bottling.
Riesling Cuvee Theo
$66.99 x 6
Regular price $355.70 PER CASE
Exotic, rich, pungent nose with truly exciting fruit. Crunchy sensation and really deep flavours. Passion fruit flavours and creamy texture. Electric impact and no shortage of ripe fruit but a long, bone-dry finish. Great stuff.
Côtes du Jura Savagnin
$64.99 x 6
Regular price $345.08 PER CASE
Notes
Savagnin blanc is mostly grown in the Jura. It is most famous as the only grape allowed in the vin jaunes of Château-Chalon and L'Étoile, similar to fino sherry with a covering of flor but not fortified and without the use of the solera system.
100% Savagnin aged for 4 years in barrel without being topped up before bottling. This is a “baby Vin Jaune” according to Jean Francois. Powerful aromatics and richness.
Caves Jean Bourdy is one of the oldest domaines in the Jura. Created in the late 1400’s, the Domaine is now run by brothers Jean-Phillipe and Jean-François, the 15th generation of winemakers at this estate. The Bourdys grow their vines on 10 hectares of land, including a half hectare in Chateau Chalon AOC. Caves Jean Bourdy makes wine the old fashioned way, using old barrels—some as much as 80 years old—for fermentation and aging of the wines. The Domaine was certified biodynamic in 2006, and the combination of some of the best terroir in the Jura and careful and patient winemaking results in wines that thoroughly express the land on which it is grown.
1er Cru Mont de Milieu
$76.99 x 6
Regular price $408.80 PER CASEWinemaker Notes
The famous Mont de Milieu vineyard lies to the east of the village's Grand Cru slope, sharing the same southern facing exposure that the Grand Cru vineyards do. This makes for a wine of concentration and structure, balanced by the classic Chablis acidity.
1er Cru Les Vaucoupins
$66.99 x 6
Regular price $355.70 PER CASEWinemaker Notes
The open, warm terroir of Les Vaucoupins produces wines with both freshness and generosity. The old vines here are used to create a wine that is floral and intense, with a balance of concentrated fruit and fresh acidity.
Bianco di Toscana
$22.99 x 12
Regular price $244.14 PER CASE
Straw yellow in colour; on the nose it shows aromas of fresh fruit, citrus and mineral notes. On the palate the freshness of the Vermentino balances the structure of the Chardonnay.
Portrait Pinot Blanc

This Pinot Blanc is dry, crisp, and fruity with refreshing notes of citrus, green apple, and white flowers. Organic.
Portrait Riesling
$33.99 x 12
Regular price $360.96 PER CASE
Clear lemon yellow colour. An unusually floral style, this wine retains full fruit aromas of citrus and a rare hint of pineapple. Citrus fruit in abundance, like a bowl of fruit salad with a clear, crisp and long finish.
Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru En Caradeux
$99.99 x 6
Regular price $530.92 PER CASE
93 Points, Decanter
Not the biggest white wine cuvée at Maison Champy at only 25 barrels, but this 1ha parcel planted in the 1970s has produced a very stylish, saline, focused Chardonnay in the heat of 2018, with sweet vanilla-spicy oak, subtle gunflint aromas and a core of fresh, tangy, citrus and lime fruit.
Winemaker Notes
These vineyards cover the hilly slopes of Aloxe-Corton and Savigny-lès-Beaune. There are only four Premier Crus Pinot Noirs: “Les Fichots”, “En Caradeux”, “Creux de la Net”, “Iles des Hautes et Basses Vergelesses”. This wine is aged in a 350-barrel and a 228-litre used barrel. The wine is open and intense on the nose with notes of orange and grapefruit. The attack is fresh and supple. A well-balanced and concentrated wine with good mineral length on the finish.
Côte 228 Pech Clamensou Chardonnay
$29.99 x 12
Regular price $318.48 PER CASEWinemaker Notes
Over the years vineyards, and the plots within them, change. It’s nature’s way of keeping us interested. What doesn’t change is that certain piece of every plot that always gives you what you expect. The finest wine from the finest grapes. That’s the piece of land the Le Côte range comes from. The number, 228, represents the average altitude of the particular plot this wine comes from. The grapes are harvested at night and fermented at a low temperature. This seems to bring out the best in them. Some of these grapes are aged in barrels before they are all blended back together. It’s an unusual method but from the unusual comes the exceptional.
Côte 228 is a well-balanced wine with rich oak aged character. This complex wine shows generous fruit aromas such as crisp pears. The finish is mineral.
Solus Blanc
$52.99 x 6
Regular price $281.36 PER CASE
Winemaker Notes
A pale yellow wine, bright and clear, showing freshness and elegance.
The white Grenache has a unique character and an elegant complexity, with seductive aromas of lemon and grapefruit. After aeration, it is the minerality which comes to the fore, with subtle notes of white flowers and redcurrants. As the Solus gains power, it reveals a certain distinctive purity through notes of fresh almonds and toasted bread. Rounded and vibrant, with a long mineral finish, a perfect expression of the Boutenac terroir.
Pair with rock lobster in aspic, coquilles St Jacques, sole with wild mushrooms, foie gras with quince jelly… or our favourite, turbot en croûte with herb butter.
