Château Plaisance, an 18th-century country manor once owned by the renowned Bordeaux restaurateur Dubern, is set on a steep, sun-drenched hill in the heart of Bordeaux. Its 23-hectare vineyard, planted with 80% Merlot on clay soils and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon on sandy gravel, benefits from exceptional sunshine and warm temperatures, ensuring full grape ripening. Under the stewardship of Philippe Magrez, a fourth-generation winegrower, modern winemaking techniques are seamlessly combined with the finest Bordeaux traditions. The estate’s carefully crafted wines capture the character of the terroir, reflecting a deep respect for heritage and a passion for excellence in every bottle.

Opening with a red cherry–scented nose, leading into a lively, refreshing palate that remains light and fresh despite the ripeness of the fruit. Delicate notes of raspberry and black currant glide across the tongue, while subtle, mellow woody tannins lend gentle structure and a pleasing roundness to the texture, creating a balanced and approachable finish.

Rich & Elegant

Maison Mahaut captures everything we love about white Burgundy — classic Chardonnay, exceptional value, and effortless drinkability. Sourced from select vineyards across Burgundy, the wine is fermented in stainless steel with a touch of oak ageing to preserve its freshness while adding subtle texture and depth.

Expect vibrant notes of lemon, crisp green apple, white peach, and a hint of chalky minerality, finishing bright, clean, and beautifully balanced.

The kind of bottle you'll reach for again and again, whether paired with roast chicken, grilled seafood, creamy pastas, or simply enjoyed on its own.

Rich & Mineral

Domaine de Pellehaut, located in the hills of Gascony, has produced a remarkably energetic white wine with its Harmonie cuvée. It's a refreshing and modern wine, designed for those seeking vibrancy and a range of bright flavors. 

A complex white blend of Colombard, Ugni Blanc, Sauvignon, Gros Manseng, Chardonnay, and Folle Blanche, shaped by high-altitude vineyards on mineral-rich boulbène and calcareous clay soils. Crafted with low-temperature winemaking, it highlights fresh, vibrant fruit with a clean mineral backbone.

Would pair perfectly with a seafood platter or grilled prawns, sushi, or vegetable spring rolls. 

Light & Fruity

Domaine de Pellehaut, located in the hills of Gascony, is known for sustainable winemaking practices and utilizing native yeasts, with wines often aged in stainless steel to maintain fresh fruit character. 

This wine presents aromas of strawberry, raspberry and cherry. It is light and delicate with soft tannins.

To be enjoyed as an aperitif, with white meat or a cheese platter.

Raised amidst the vineyards, Alexandre Favier is part of a long line of winemakers in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. His grandfather, Noël Sabon, hails from one of the region’s most renowned winemaking families. Alexandre began his viticultural studies at the age of fifteen in Orange, completing his exams by 2001. Just a year later, at the age of twenty, he assumed full winemaking responsibilities at Domaine Chante Cigale when his father’s health declined. Today, Domaine Chante Cigale stands as one of the most important family estates in Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

Extrait consists of 50% Roussanne and 50% Grenache Blanc. The Roussanne for Extrait comes from a very specific plot and the vines are over 40 years old. For a wine this unctuous and textured, the palate shows remarkable balance and freshness. Aromas of apricot, peach and citrus are complemented by some perfumed florals and well integrated, savoury oak. The finish is incredibly long and fresh.

Complex & Silky

Château de La Chaize is among the oldest, most historic estates in Burgundy’s Beaujolais region. Cared for by the same family for nearly three and a half centuries, the estate has been passed on to new owners, the Gruy family, who are equally committed to managing the estate with the utmost care, while implementing an ambitious environmental plan.

Pale yellow colour with golden reflections, the nose opens on notes of citrus fruits and pear, with a delicate hint of acacia blossom enriching the aromatic palette. Expect a clean and balanced palate, reflecting the generosity of a sunny vintage with a pleasant volume and a delicate, mouth-watering finish.

Chill and serve with shellfish, white fish, or soft goat cheese.
