The vineyards cultivated by Jacquart winemakers cover 2,400 ha spread over sixty crus, that is to say, sixty villages throughout the Champagne area – what a mosaic! It’s within this large range of sites in Champagne that their winemaker draws together the different shades through careful assemblage, creating a cuvée that is ethereal and which seduces lovers of JACQUART. Brut Mosaïque is a wine for all times, sharing the pleasures of daily life, celebrating good news, and friends that pop round unexpectedly – this is the champagne you always have in the fridge. «Our Brut Mosaïque elegantly shows the uniqueness of our style, expressing the result of selection and choices without compromise.» Floriane Eznack THE FACTS A blend where Chardonnay is the dominant grape variety (35%-40%), giving Brut Mosaïque its freshness and delicate aromas. Pinot Noir (30%-35%) adds structure and Pinot Meunier (25% -30%) brings fruit.The grapes are sourced from exceptional terroirs, including the Grands Crus of the Côte des Blancs and the Montagne de Reims. The presence of 25% reserve wine ensures regularity of style, while more than three years ageing and a light dosage of 10 g/l result in a balanced and complex champagne. There is a time and place for this bubbly and that is anytime and everywhere! Day or night, as an aperitif or with fish or cheese. For a special occasion or for sharing with friends, Brut Mosaïque makes the moment. -
This is an excellent value French Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire valley and resembles the big Sancerre wines of the region . This Petit has nothing petit about it and has an outstanding quality and is very flexible. Can be drunk on it's own or paired with grilled trout, bass or fresh goats' cheese. Jean Paul Seguin winery is situated in the small village of Verdigny in the Sancerre region, the Fournier family has been making wine for many generations. The estate has grown from 5 hectares in 1950 to almost 30 hectares today, divided over the appellations of Mentou Salon, Pouilly-Fumé and Sancerre. The improvement made in vinification techniques and the permanent concern about quality result in well-balanced wines of great diversity. Enjoy this wine from the Loire without paying the big prices of its counterparts -
Since 1481, the Chave family has been lording the soils of the Hermitage. Probably they are amongst the best visionaries and observers of the French wines in general. The vineyards are cultivated organically, with methods that favor very low yields and full ripeness, followed by minimal intervention in the winemaking process. The family's pride and joy is the Syrah planted on the fabled hill of Hermitage, but their wines from Saint-Joseph, a small nearby village devoted to the same grape, are a close second and represent distinct value. Syrah here doesn't taste like the bombastic syrah of California or Australia; rather, it's smoky, savory, and tastes like blackberries and black pepper. -
Benoît Droin is one of the most respected winemakers in Chablis. This is the entry point to his range; it highlights the potential of “lesser” wines from top producers. It’s from two parcels, both on Portlandian limestone on the plateau above the Grands Crus. Balanced approach pest control. Soils maintained via regular ploughing. The soils are generally shallow. The sub-soil alternates between grey marl and bands of limestone sometimes very rich in "exogyra virgula" fossils - small, comma-shaped oysters characteristic of the marls from the Upper and Middle Kimmeridgian periods. Winemaking is entirely in steel, preserving the crystalline fruit and bright purity. The 2019 vintage adds a little more ripeness to the fruit on the nose, bringing aromas of white melon and hazelnut. The palate is generous on entry, with cleansing acidity and a gently smoky, mineral finish. This is excellent value and will outdo many “grander” wines. Pair it with aperitif, grilled seafood, baked white fish or Oysters -
The Champagne house JM Gobillard & Fils is based in Hautvillers, a picturesque wine town in the heart of Champagne. The monk and cellar master Dom Pérignon discovered the first Champagne pearls in the Benedictine Abbey of Hautvillers around 1681 and thus made the small town the birthplace of Champagne. All three grape varieties of Champagne are carefully cultivated by hand on 30 hectares of our own vineyards - mainly in the Premier Cru vineyards of Hautvillers - under the supervision of Thierry Gobillard, oenologist and patron of the Champagne house "JM Gobillard & Fils". In addition, grapes from another 125 hectares of external vineyards are purchased from strictly controlled, quality-conscious top winegrowers. Committed to house tradition, Thierry Gobillard has full control over all of his grape requirements. With his name, he vouches for quality and uniformity, he is a guarantor of the highest perfection and a bastion in the fight against mediocrity. Thanks to the highest art of oenology, each champagne from the Champagne house "JM Gobillard & Fils" has a unique personality, so rich in expressions and appearances that you will be amazed! A votre sante! - Cheers! -
Produced by Gustave Lorentz, L'ami Des Crustacés 2018 is a well-priced Pinot Blanc from the Alsace Wine Region. Fresh and zesty on the nose with spiced pear and citrus aromas. Dry and crisp on the palate with white florals, spiced pear, ripe apple and peachy and citrus flavours. Finishes with a crisp, clean minerality. Great acidity for food. Chill and pair it with a pork schnitzel or breaded veal cutlets with a squeeze of lemon juice. Pork loin or grilled chicken, and as the name suggests any shelffish will match with it. -
A lively and ripe juice which, in the words of Maya and Nicolas, faithfully captures the character of the wines of the commune where they are based. A very nice balance and a great drinkability for this Cahors which breaks the codes. Light and greedy at the same time, it offers us a superb length and much pleasure. -
Stone fruit - check! Mineral - check! Floral - check! This wine is definitely ticking off all the right boxes! The minerality of saline and limestone sit on the tip of the tongue and linger through the entire taste. Light bodied, dry, moderate acidity, and a slightly exaggerated finish noted with blanched almonds and lemon rind bring the sip to an end. Time for another! An instant classic from a classic region! The Alain Gueneau Sancerre "La Guiberte" comes from a small family-owned estate at the Eastern end of France's Loire valley. You'll still find the grape's signature citrus freshness and a slight grassiness, but examples from Sancerre lean more towards restraint, minerality, and elegance. The secret is not only in Northern France's cooler climate, but also in the region's soil — a swathe of ancient clay-calcareous deposits that stretches from England's famous white cliffs of Dover across the channel and into Northern France. Alain and daughter Elisa are the 2nd and 3rd-generation of the Gueneau family to farm this land, three quarters of which is planted to Sauvignon Blanc vines with an average age of about 25 years. Enjoy this delicious, refreshing bottle (well chilled, of course!) now or over the next 3 years. -
On the border between Roussillon and Corbières, in the heart of the Maury appellation, is the Domaine de la Petite Baigneuse . Philippe Wies, accompanied by his wife Céline, settled at the end of the 2000s, on the superb Maury shale terroirs, at an altitude of 350 meters with breathtaking views of the big blue sea. Surrounded by scrubland and protected by an environment of cliffs, the 14 hectares of vines benefit from a Mediterranean climate tempered by the wind and maritime inlets. Organic since the beginning of the adventure, the Petite Baigneuse estate also practices biodynamics and only works the soil very little. Some plowing is then carried out with a tractor and a tracker so as not to overturn the horizons. Not far from Calce's friends in the people of La Nouvelle Donne , and Domaine Jean-Philippe Padié , Philippe Wies is today an essential figure in the world of natural wines in the south of France. "Juste Ciel", a wine that calls for summer, fresh grilled fish, marinated supions, sea urchins, carpaccio de Saint Jacques.... In short, "La Petite Baigneuse" delivers here a wine to be enjoyed by the poolside with a Mediterranean meal thanks to its delicacy, its freshness and its notes of candied fruits. A very nice white wine to share with a nice meal. -
The Clos Lapeyere Estate is a family-owned estate that dealt with rearing livestock, cultivating vines and farming many years ago.

Le Bijou de Sophie Valrose is named after a lady who worked in the Languedoc vineyards during the late 19th century and became something of a local hero. At the time, it was largely women who worked in the vineyards; pruning and harvesting the vines. Sadly these women were often mistreated, overworked and underpaid. Sophie fought for women’s rights and drastically improved the conditions for her fellow female workers in the vineyard in which she worked. Bijou is a tribute to her memory and we share her story on the back of every bottle sold. The grapes are sourced from low-yielding old vines on the sloping hillsides of various vineyards in the Languedoc-Roussillon region of southern France. The areas are made up of old volcanic soils composed of 70% schist, which helps create high-quality grapes with great structure and freshness.Bijou’s flagship wine, a beautiful pale salmon coloured rosé. Elegantly fragrant, with aromas of wild strawberries, citrus and delicate floral notes. Round and creamy on the palate, with ripe red berry flavours and a soft minerality. Elegant and balanced with refreshing acidity and a silky smooth finish. The perfect accompaniment to canapés, white meats, fish and salads. -

It is from these calcareous soils, enriched with underlying layers of silex and clay, that Emile crafts the wines -
The result of a long history, Burgundy and its wines are known worldwide. Chardonnay being a native grape to the area, perfectly matches the terroir of Burgundy: poor soils or calcareous marl, perfect exposure but a temperate climate. As a result the sugar content can reach a high level whilst maintaining a balance of fruit and acidity. Thanks to a careful selection, Maison Louis Latour is able to produce a rich and expressive Chardonnay. This wine is intense, powerful and fruity. A complexe wine with a nice aromatic persistence. Food Pairing, aperitif - shellfish - charcuterie - grilled fish -

Domaine Marcel Lapierre Morgon is a natural red wine made by Domaine Marcel Lapierre with the Gamay variety in the AOC Morgon (Burgundy). Domaine Marcel Lapierre is one of the pioneer wineries that has been making natural wines since Marcel Lapierre, a true pacesetter among Beaujolais producers, took over the Villié-Morgon estate in 1973. With his work philosophy, he was committed to combining traditional best practices with new technologies so that his wines would be a true reflection of the landscape. In 1981, under the strong influence of natural wine master Jules Chavet, Marcel was among the first to produce wines of minimal intervention, without adding SO2 or any other substance. Domaine Marcel Lapierre Morgon 2018 is a fruity red wine with aromas of cherry, violet and liquorice, covered with a forest freshness and refreshing balsamic tones. On the palate it is structured, fresh and sweet. It begins with a sharp acidity that blends with the touches of fruit and liquorice and the intense minerality. This is a refreshing red, perfect for spring and summer; recommended to drink with charcuterie, paté, cheese, roast ham, roast lamb, roast chicken and turkey and with spicy Thai and Chinese dishes. Serve at the lower end of the suggested temperature range if you like your light red wines served cooler like the French -
Michel Chapoutier created these wines to honor his great grandfather, Marius Chapoutier. Marius once said, “A good wine is one that beckons us to take another sip” and that is what Michel has accomplished with these wines. Marius Red is a wine that combines power, complexity and elegance. The Syrah endows it with warmth, robustness and a lovely bluish red hue. The Grenache brings a natural sweetness, balancing the whole structure of the wine. The harvest is done during the day: the natural summer heat by the beginning of the autumn is a great benefit for the maturity of the wine. The complexity, the elegance and the gourmet touch of Marius rouge are then revealed by their wine blending know-how. Serve it as an aperitif or with chicken liver on toast, beef carpaccio, roasted vegetables, lamb kebabs, veal, swordfish steak or goat cheese and dark chocolate at the end of the meal. Salut Marius!
