Grand Calcaire Chablis Chardonnay 2020

🍇 100% Chardonnay | Chablis AOC, Burgundy, France

A true gem of a wine of pure, mineral-driven Chardonnay from the iconic Kimmeridgian limestone-clay soils that define the northernmost vineyards of Burgundy, brushing the southern edge of Champagne.

On the nose:
Delicately floral with a streak of flinty minerality and lifted citrus notes. Pure, focused, and elegant.

On the palate:
Absolutely dry and crisp, with vibrant acidity and a medium-bodied mouthfeel. Zesty lemon, chalky tension, and just a whisper of orange peel at the very back end of the palate. Finishes with salinity and length that’s tailor-made for oysters and seafood.

Mouthfeel overall:
Fresh, lively, and laser-focused, this is Chablis at its finest, clean, precise, and impossibly drinkable. The kind of wine that reminds you why Chardonnay rules the white wine world.

Pairing tip:
✨ The ultimate oyster wine, though equally brilliant with sushi, scallops, or a lemon-butter sole.

Can’t have enough of it, and you won’t want to either. Cheers! 🦪🍋🥂

Les Rouards Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits Pinot Noir 2023

Edouard Delaunay – Pinot Noir – 2023
Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits AOC – Burgundy, France 🇫🇷

Overview
100% Pinot Noir from higher-altitude sites west of the Côte de Nuits, where cooler conditions preserve freshness and aromatic clarity. A refined, terroir-driven Burgundy showing surprising precision and balance for the appellation.

Aromas & Flavors
Red cherries, cranberry, and raspberry with subtle rose petal, light earth, and a gentle herbal lift. Bright fruit rather than extraction, with a whisper of oak spice on the finish.

Mouthfeel
Light-medium body with lively acidity, silky tannins, and a clean, elegant structure. Refreshing, delicate, and quietly complex, more finesse than power.

Food Pairings
Roast chicken, seared duck breast, mushroom risotto, Comté, charcuterie, or classic French bistro fare.

Verdict
A graceful and well-made Bourgogne with purity, balance, and lift. Understated and charming; perfect for Burgundy fans who enjoy subtlety over opulence.

Did You Know?
Hautes-Côtes de Nuits vineyards sit 100–150m higher than the Côte d’Or, giving wines naturally higher acidity and fresher aromatics, traits increasingly prized in modern Burgundy.

Vieilles Vignes Le Village Gevrey-Chambertin Pinot Noir 2018

MICHAEL COOPER DipWSET
9.0

At 14% alcohol and a medium to medium plus cherry color this is a big #burgundy wine. Gevrey is always a little bit bigger than other villages, but this wine in particular and especially side-by-side with the Savigny-Les-Beaune seems particularly ripe and rich. It’s enjoyable and yet not what I was expecting only 3304 bottles made  — 2 months ago

Pouilly-Fuissé Chardonnay 2023

Laurent Delaunay – Pouilly-Fuissé Chardonnay 2023
Burgundy, France 🇫🇷

Overview
Made from 100% Chardonnay, this wine comes from Pouilly-Fuissé, one of the most prestigious appellations of the Mâconnais in southern Burgundy. Known for its limestone-rich soils and sun-kissed slopes at the foot of the Roche de Solutré, the region consistently delivers structured yet elegant expressions of Chardonnay.

Aromas & Flavors
Bright and inviting, the nose opens with white peach, citrus zest, and pear, layered with floral notes of acacia and a subtle mineral undertone. On the palate, ripe orchard fruits blend with lemon curd, toasted almonds, and a touch of honey, all balanced by a clean saline streak.

Mouthfeel
Medium-bodied, fresh, and precise. The texture shows a lovely balance between richness and crisp acidity, with a long, elegant finish that carries hints of stone fruit and chalky minerality.

Winemaking Notes
Carefully selected Chardonnay grapes were vinified partly in stainless steel to preserve freshness, with a portion aged in oak barrels to add depth and complexity. This dual approach highlights the harmony between fruit purity and gentle richness.

Food Pairing
Perfect alongside roast chicken, seared scallops, or creamy mushroom risotto. For cheese lovers, pair with Comté or aged goat cheese.

Verdict
A polished and modern take on Pouilly-Fuissé, combining Burgundian minerality with approachable fruit. The 2023 vintage feels bright and youthful now but has the depth to develop further over the next few years.
