Deep ruby red with purple hues, a subtle ochre sheen on the rim. Red cherries, subtle notes of tobacco, a hint of currants, nuances of orange zest.

FRANCE – WHITE WINE BURGUNDY

TREMBLAY-MARCHIVE CHABLIS 2022 AOC Chablis is surely the answer to any negative criticism of chardonnay. This example is made in the classic way: in stainless steel without any exposure to oak. The result is also classic: the fruit is pure and well-focused, with white-fleshed fruit and citrus in the leading roles, and the acidity is finely calibrated, fresh, and clean. It has a bright, refreshing texture while delivering substantial flavour. It’s drinking very well now, and it will hold its freshness another three years or so. Score: 92 (Rod Phillips, Nov. 19, 2023) Light & Crisp 38055 (XD) 750 ml $39.95 2 Featured in ’Tis Your Season

BARTON & GUESTIER POUILLY-FUISSÉ 2023 AOC

This is a supple, lively Pouilly-Fuissé with a notable, driving acidity. Balance comes from the depth and intensity of the ripe fruit, butter and vanilla tones. It’s elegant and intense, with touches of ginger spice on the close adding complexity. Enjoy this layered, evocative wine through 2030+. Full-bodied & Rich 45270 (XD) 750 ml $45.95 2 Featured in ’Tis Your Season CHARTRON ET TRÉBUCHET MÂCON-CHARNAY 2024 AOC (Famille Helfrich) Mâcon-Charnay is one of the smallest areas in the Mâcon and features mostly Chardonnay. The vineyards are planted in siliceous clay or sand, which translates to taut, precise wines with excellent depth, concentration and freshness. This wine was fermented and aged on the lees in stainless steel, retaining all the delicate white floral, peach and citrus tones. Drink before 2028. Light & Crisp 45275 (XD) 750 ml $26.95 2

LOIRE HUBERT BROCHARD SANCERRE 2023 AOP

With unpretentious, no-nonsense classicism, this is a Sancerre of elegance and poise that opens with a beautiful nose of chamomile, apple blossom and lemon curd. The palate follows with fleshy citrus, juicy Asian pear and a touch of guava. Subtle mineral framework. Enjoy with a cured goat cheese. Drinking window: 2024-2028. Score: 92 (Ines Salpico, decanter.com, Oct. 8, 2024) Aromatic & Flavourful 42444 (XD) 750 ml $39.95 2 Featured in ’Tis Your Season
