Capon With Foie Gras Mousse

The largest of the Beaujolais Crus and one of the friendliest — Gamay with juicy red fruit, soft tannins, and an easy charm. The Cru you reach for first.

Brouilly's hillside sibling — fuller, more mineral, more serious, from vines grown on a single volcanic hill. The Cru worth seeking out.

The Northern Rhône's grandest red — pure Syrah from a single granite hillside, age-worthy for decades. Black olive, smoked meat, violet, and a tannic spine that demands time.

Loire Chenin Blanc at its most uncompromising — bone-dry, schist-mineral, age-worthy for decades. The white wine for those who want the opposite of a fruit bomb.
