On every bottle
Every bottle comes with a card
One side tells you what to eat with it and what it tastes like. The other side is empty — write a note and the bottle becomes a present.
The front
What to eat with it
Two dishes that work with this wine, two flavours you'll notice, and the right temperature to pour it. No wine-speak.
The back
Room for your note
Lines for a name, a few words and your signature. Have it sent straight to someone and they get a card you wrote, not a packing slip.

Why it's on our shelf
Sauternes is not a category for every shop, but it should be on every serious list. Château Fontaine's plots in Fargues de Langon sit in the same commune as Château Rieussec — the geography alone earns attention. The 2023 is lighter and more elegant than textbook sweet Sauternes: medium sweetness, fine acidity, and all the botrytis character you come to this appellation for. Mango, melon, honeycomb, a provocative whisper of aged cheese. Open it with Roquefort. Thank yourself later.
