2022 Domaine Charles Audoin Bourgogne-Aligoté ‘Vieilles Vignes’
This is a quiet power move at a dinner party. Pouring old-vine Aligoté from a serious, small Burgundy grower – instead of the obvious Chardonnay – instantly shows depth and confidence. And it backs it up: the wine moves effortlessly across the table, from seafood and salads to roast chicken and richer, buttery dishes, making you look thoughtful without trying too hard.
Certified organic farming practices (Ecocert), hand-harvested, native yeast fermentation in neutral barrel and aged for 12 months, no lees stirring or racking, unfined/unfiltered, vegan.

- Table Talk Aligoté is a classic in bistros across France. In fact, Kir Royals - the famous French apéritif of crème de cassis topped with white wine - was traditionally made with Aligoté.
Domaine Charles Audoin is one of the key estates responsible for elevating Marsannay from an overlooked terroir to a respected appellation in the Côte de Nuits, especially since it only received its own AOC in 1987. Beginning in the 1970s, Charles Audoin expanded the family holdings from 2.5 to 14 hectares, carefully selecting top vineyard sites and raising quality standards; today, his son Cyril continues that legacy with traditional, elegance-focused winemaking and ongoing investment in the estate.
Now widely considered a benchmark producer for Marsannay, the domaine farms organically (Ecocert certified since 2018), practices sustainable viticulture (HVE3), and produces vegan wines — all with a strong environmental commitment that reflects both generations’ dedication to terroir and refinement.

$22.00Born along the sun-soaked Spanish coast, this vibrant, refreshing sparkler is one of our go-to party bottles. Anna and her husband, Jordi Vallès, farm the vineyards, craft the wine, and have built the business themselves from the ground up. Made in the traditional method (like Champagne), it’s more complex than Prosecco and still incredibly approachable on price. Crisp and dry, it’s perfect with oysters, grilled fish, tapas, or bruschetta.

$42.00The 2022 vintage of Domaine Jolly’s Chablis shows a delicate pale yellow color with green highlights, reflecting its bright and expressive character. Aromas of citrus lead into fresh, fruit-forward flavors of pear, all framed by a rounded, approachable mouthfeel. Grown on Kimmeridgian clay soils rich with tiny fossilized oysters, the wine carries the classic mineral-driven elegance of Chablis. Versatile and food-friendly, it pairs beautifully with poultry, grilled seafood, vegetarian dishes, and a wide range of cheeses.
