Bulles de Comptoir Champagne
$93.99
Born and raised in Champagne, Charles Dufour converted his 6ha farm to organic practices in 2013. To limit the use of harmful chemicals like copper, he has adopted biodynamic preparations like herbal teas to limit vineyard disease. With illustrious neighbours like Cédric Bouchard, this little corner of the Côte des Bar proves they can compete with the region’s more famous sub-appellations. In fact, Charles’ Bulles de Comptoir cuvée was the house Champagne at Noma. The media often calls him ‘the Selosse of the Aube’, a worthy title for a boundary-pushing vigneron. Each vintage features a different illustration adding to its charm and anti-establishment aesthetic.
Kimoto Classic Sake

Made by Daishichi Sake Brewery, which was established in 1752 and resides in Nihommatsu, Fukushima, Japan.
From The Producer
"Our Junmai Kimoto was first released more than 35 years ago, in 1983, at the time that thanks to the jizake boom finally sakes like ginjo and junmai were acknowledged by the market. However, our activities leading to Junmai Kimoto started already more than two decades before that, from about 1955. That was when the 8th Shichiuemon Ohta, who was then president, finally succeeded in restoring the kimoto method, which had sustained severe damage from the controlled economy during the war as well as the devastation after the war. From the mid-1950s, he took on the at that time unprecedented challenge to produce a junmai sake. But as there were limits to rice polishing and cooling equipment was not yet available, he found difficulties on his path that are today unimaginable. These were later solved by polishing the rice to a further degree and enabling low temperature fermentation by the use of cooling equipment. Our Junmai Kimoto came into existence thanks to many years of efforts by our ancestor."

It can be kept for up to fifteen years, depending on the vintage.

Dujac Morey St Dennis 1er Cru
$369.99
Jacques Seysses started Domaine Dujac in 1968. He was not born in Burgundy, but winemaking is his true vocation. His love for wine comes from his father, a gourmet with a passion for fine wines. Even as a young boy, Jacques would meet the greatest winegrowers of the time in the company of his father. From only 5 hectares in 1968, the estate gradually expanded to 11 hectares in 1977, and then reached 15.5 hectares in 2005. Over the years, the estate has expanded beyond the historic site of Morey-Saint-Denis. In 2014, with the acquisition of leased vineyards in Puligny-Montrachet (the Premier Crus Folatières and Combettes), the Domaine produces wines in both Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune. They are now among the most sought-after and collectable wines in Burgundy, although priced considerably less than the top wines.
