Norton Cosecha Especial Extra Brut Sparkling, Lujan De Cuyo, Mendoza, Argentina: NV Extra Brut Chardonnay Cosecha Especial is an exceptional 100% Chardonnay from Luján de Cuyo, presenting in the glass a luminous golden colour accented by a subtle verdant glimmer. The bouquet unfolds with delicate hints of crisp pome fruits, accompanied by gentle nuances of freshly trimmed green accents and a whisper of autolytic complexity. On the palate, the wine is decidedly dry with a light, diaphanous texture that reveals persistent layers of fruity depth. A refined choice to be enjoyed now, it pairs beautifully with seared scallops drizzled in a citrus beurre blanc or succulent oysters on the half shell.

Château Hyot 2022, Castillon Côtes De Bordeaux, Bordeaux A.C., France: Château Hyot 2022 offers tremendous value. Crafted by Alain Aubert, prop., this Merlot-led blend—with accents of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc—displays a rich profile of dark plum, cassis, pepper spice, and a spark of flinty minerality. Its firm yet refined tannins and balanced acidity suggest a wine that will benefit from a short period of cellaring, so enjoy it from 2025 (or decant for an hour tonight). Pairs beautifully with a rare rib steak or stuffed pork tenderloin roast. Food pairings: rare rib steak, stuffed pork tenderloin roast, gourmet burger.
