Chardonnay

Bright & Creamy

The Baud estate dates back to 1742, today the 9th generation manages the winery. Siblings Clementine and Bastien, both under 30, are making some of the best value wines in the area. Jura is that narrow valley in the remote hills between Burgundy and Switzerland, which millions of years ago was covered by an Ocean and today still bares many of the fossils from that time.  If you kick a stone in a Jura vineyard, it will probably be a fossil. 

This sparkler, or Crémant, is made in the traditional Champagne style, where the second fermentation happens inside the bottle. This Crémant has rich aromatics of apple fruit with citrus, toasted brioche and a striking minerality. It sparks a great balance between creaminess and vivacity.  If you like Champagne, but not the price tag, then this is the wine of choice for you. 

It is very versatile at the table and you can drink this with almost any dish: try it with all types of classic cuisine or even spicy Asian dishes, caramelized popcorn or fried chicken!

Creamy & Fresh

Bright & Creamy

Arguably one of our best values in bubbly. This cava is made from Macabeo, Xarel-lo, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

Mas Codina is a 40 hectare estate in the Alt Penedès which dates back to 1681. This Cava Brut Nature Reserva was hand-harvested from 20 to 30-year-old vines and estate bottled. Farming is 100% organic on the estate. Though it does not say it on the label, the wine is 100% single vintage and is aged on its lees for a minimum of two years before release.

This Cava has a lovely, fruity nose with ripe yellow pear, a hint of vanilla and soft biscotti notes. It is light to mid weight, slightly creamy yet firm and dry on the finish.

Cava is fantastic with fresh salads, crudités, raw oysters and summer dishes like Spanish Gazpacho. It's creaminess makes it a perfect pairing for roast chicken and all kinds of fish.

Mineral & Zesty

From a new family (relatively speaking) in Chablis, the estate belongs to Marie-Noëlle & Laurent Ternynck.

This old vines Chardonnay saw 12 months in large oak barrels. The fruit is gathered from vineyards in Fleys and this area sits at a higher altitude on a windswept plateau, which helps maintain the acidity in the wine.  Fresh, floral and mineral on the nose. There are notes of fresh almond, hazelnut, citrus and white flowers on the palate. It is balanced and has a fresh finish.    

Keep it chilled in the fridge, uncork it at the end of the day and pour yourself a glass! Also pairs well with oysters, all kinds of fish dishes, and roasted chicken.

Travel through the different Burgundian climats and appellations with this Mixed Case, featuring a selection of six wines from Domaine de Bellene's 2019 vintage.  Wether you want to sip some of them right away or hold some bottles in your cellar, this is the right Mixed Case for you!

This mixed case includes one bottle of the following wines:

Domaine de Bellene L'Eclos des Abeilles Coteaux Bourguignons 2019. 91 points by Wine Align. Released for the first time in 2018, this is a very ambitious white Burgundy from young, densely planted vineyards in Nuits-St-Georges and Saint Romain. Made without any added sulphur, it's the latest in a series of brilliant generic whites from Nicolas Potel, with chiselled, breezy flavours and a saline bite, (Tim Atkin, MW)

Domaine de Bellene Santenay Les Charmes Dessus 2019. 94 points by Wine Align. Nicolas Potel has a real talent for producing super white wines in so-called lesser terroirs, such as this Santenay lieu-dit, using larger oak barrels to complement rather than dominate the fruit. It's oatmealy, sappy and fresh, with notes of beeswax, citrus peel and white flowers, (Tim Atkin, MW).

Domaine de Bellene Maison Dieu Vieilles Vignes Bourgogne 2019. 91 points by Wine Align. Situated in the village of Pommard, the vineyards were planted in 1928 and the plot was bought by Nicolas Potel's parents in 1978. This plot always produces well balanced wines, and it has been farmed organically since 1992. This wine is rich in colour and shows a complex aromatic palette and a beautiful structure. The nose is so attractive: the strawberry, raspberry and cranberry fruit have an earthy-twiggy depth, with a hint of cinnamon spice too. The tannins are fine and silky, and the lively acidity infuses the fruit on the palate with a pleasant juiciness. 

Domaine de Bellene Savigny-lès-Beaune Villages Vieilles Vignes 2019. 93 points by Wine Align. The Savigny-les-Beaune made from Pinot Noir is a wonderfully harmonious with 25% new oak to support the wine. Fine, with a discrete minerality, it is also intense and dense. It is made from three plots in Savigny-lès-Beaune: Les Vermots, Aux Champs Pruniers et Les Planchots.

Domaine de Bellene Nuits-Saint-Georges Villages Vieilles Vignes 2019. 94 points by Wine Align. The cuvée of Nuits-Saint-Georges-Village, which has been part of Domaine de Bellene since 2009, comes from four different 'climats'. A slightly fresher nose offers up decidedly floral-infused aromas of spice, the sauvage and black cherry aromas. Once again, the medium weight flavours are not particularly concentrated, but they are reasonably refined in the context of what is typical for the appellation, all wrapped in serious if slightly rustic finale.

Domaine de Bellene Beaune Villages Blanche Fleur 2019. 94 points by Wine Align. A generous expression of village level Beaune from the Blanches Fleurs lieu-dit located at the northern border of Beaune close to Savigny les Beaune. Featuring a great deal of power and finesse, this lightly smoky pinot noir is bursting at the seams with black cherry, pomegranate and sweet red pepper. Pink peppercorn and rare meat play a supporting role in the flavour make-up of this engrossing and youthful pinot noir. Notes of rosebud coyly linger on the finish of excellent length (Sara d'Amato).

Mineral & Fresh

Domaine de Bellene is the creation of Nicolas Potel – the son of the legendary Gérard Potel of Domaine Pousse d’Or. Potel is a big name in Burgundian winemaking, and he is known for constantly challenging the borders of winemaking in Burgundy.

Nicolas Potel has a real talent for producing super white wines in so-called lesser terroirs, such as this Santenay lieu-dit, using larger oak barrels to complement rather than dominate the fruit. An intriguing wine with a beguiling profile of white flowers, yellow fruits and citrusy acidity.

About the vintage: The 2019s bring finesse and elegance to the equation without sacrificing concentration. The vintage takes its place alongside other exceptional recent years in Burgundy, carving out a niche for its outstanding balance of intense fruit, firm structure and supple texture.

Enjoy with fresh salmon, swordfish or herb-crusted pork roast.

Keint-He’s approach to winemaking is as down-to-earth as it gets and their quality is second to none.

This is a blend of Chardonnays grown in three separate estate vineyards.  The nose shows a light breadiness along with ‘wet stone’ minerality. Mid-range acids. A permeating mouth feel, without being syrupy. A palate of lemon drop with healthy limestone derived minerality. Very clean.

For food pairings, the wine goes great with raw seafood like oysters, sushi, or moules frites!

Fresh & Lively

A to Z Wineworks was started in 2002 by Oregon wine industry veterans: Deb Hatcher (Eyrie), Bill Hatcher (Domaine Drouhin Oregon), Sam Tannahill (Archery Summit) and Cheryl Francis (Chehalem). The two couples worked in the Hatcher's kitchen to build the original blend honoured by Food & Wine magazine as the Best American Pinot Noir under $20. Recognition for A to Z wines as offering dependable quality for great value continues today making A to Z the top-selling Oregon wine brand.

The lovely, pale pink A to Z Bubbles invite with juicy, ripe fruit aromas. Notes of strawberry, raspberry, watermelon, cherry, white peach, nectarine and apricot are joined by white flowers and a hint of creaminess. The bubbles dance on the tongue with mouth-watering acidity that leaves one wanting more.

Primarily Pinot Noir with a bit of Chardonnay (10%), the fruit was left in contact with the skins to get the perfect color, a traditional, natural technique preferable to blending back red wine. Several different aromatic and Rosé yeasts were used during fermentation in 100% stainless steel for freshness.

Pair with good times and sunshine! These bubbles were made to be fun and delicious regardless of glassware or setting.

Rich & Complex

Fresne-Ducret is rich in family history and has been rooted in the premier cru village of Villedommange since the mid 1800s. Originally growing grapes for the big champagne houses, it wasn’t until the end of the second world war that the family decided to make their own wine. The tradition carries on today with Pierre Fresne and his wife Daniella (an Oakville ex-pat). Their philosophy is to produce wines that best exemplify the terroir of Villedommange, and they do this with sustainability in mind.

This vintage Champagne is perfect representation of the Fresne Ducret style, balancing freshness and aromatic complexity. It is crystalline with a pale golden colour. Good effervescence that continues long after opening. The nose is fresh, dominated by floral notes with hints of citrus. In the mouth, a savoury dimension with a balanced astringency, with aromas of orange zest and honey. The wine is lively, dynamic, and moreish, a vintage still in its youth.

Serve with goat cheese, small game, or rhubarb millefeuille.

Mineral & Earthy

Scribe Winery in Sonoma, Calif. produces vibrant, terroir-driven wines. The winery– founded in 2007 on a property that pioneered pre-prohibition Sonoma Valley winemaking– is managed by fourth-generation California farmers and brothers, Andrew and Adam Mariani.

Scribe Winery's Carneros Chardonnay is fermented in concrete. It's never casked in oak and does not go through malolactic fermentation, meaning it is a pure expression of the Chardonnay grape varietal uninfluenced by oak and malolactic flavours. Its aromas include candied and green apple, which follow onto the palate along with notes of apple blossom and quince. It has a rich medium body with assertive acidity without oakiness or buttery flavours.

It will pair beautifully with smoked or grilled fish, roasted root vegetables, and other seafood—or makes a great wine to enjoy on its own.

Mineral & Textured

Scribe Winery in Sonoma, Calif. produces vibrant, terroir-driven wines. The winery– founded in 2007 on a property that pioneered pre-prohibition Sonoma Valley winemaking– is managed by fourth-generation California farmers and brothers, Andrew and Adam Mariani.

Like many of Scribe's wines, the Skin Fermented Chardonnay started as an experiment. When one of their Chardonnay clones were not cooperating with the others in the blending process, they isolated them and tried something slightly different. Fermented on the skins for 101 days in concrete, this traditional (and resurgent) winemaking process adds the necessary colour, texture and structure to create a delicate balance against the clone's pronounced floral and tropical fruit notes. The result is an expressive golden-hued wine, with a stony grip and herbal texture to the fine, bright and precise citrus and green apple fruit, in a shorter 500 ml bottle, that has earned its place as a staple, annual Scribe release. Not your average California Chardonnay but one not to be missed! 

Enjoy with Morrocan inspired dishes.

Mineral & Zesty

Husband and wife duo Ilya and Nadia started Leaning Post winery in Niagara over 10 years ago. Initially a virtual set up, the winery now located on Highway 8, has become a reference producer in Niagara.

Vintages like this really epitomize what Ontario Chardonnay is all about! The nose bursts with lemon curd, pear, green apple, peach and freshly baked bread. Mineral and wet stone dominate the palate, with a background of cream, honeydew and almond in the background, all tied together with bracing, crisp acidity. This wine will age well for the next 5-8 years.

Enjoy with brie, sole meuniere, and lemon-roasted chicken.

Floral & Citrusy

The Grosjean family traces its roots back to the village of Fornet in the high mountain passes of the Valle d’Aosta, Italy’s smallest wine region, known as Valgrisenche where they raised cattle and made wine since 1969. Sustainable farming techniques have been in place since 1975: only organic fertilizers are applied and no pesticides or herbicides are used. Today, the winery is run by the third generation: four brothers working together and making some of the most exciting wines in this tiny and magical region.

This white is a tribute to their grandfather, Dauphin. A strange Chardonnay-based with a pinch of Moscato, Pinot Grigio and Müller Thurgau. This one is like a ‘secret’ wine from the winery, as it is not very much announced and produced in very small quantities.

On the glass, it has a very pale straw yellow color. Aromas of delicate wildflowers, freshly-cut grass and a very characteristic vegetable bouquet lead the nose, while on the palate is very citrusy, with an aftertaste of almonds and with a vibrant acidity.

A perfect wine to enjoy as an aperitif or to accompany a raclette!
