This mindfully curated list pays homage to winemakers and the passion that motivates them. In a glass there is more than grapes or simply wine, there is also a story of people coming together. The winemakers, through their wine, convey terroir, personality, and emotions to present nature at its best. We encourage you to explore and travel through these stories; there is always something new and exciting to connect with. ** Best Award of Excellence by Wine Spectator 2016 * 100 Best Wine Restaurant by Wine Enthusiast 2016 Beverage Director: Emilie Perrier L’Index du vin Beer, Cider 3 Champagne 4 Rosé Champagne 6 Champagne André Clouet 7 Crémants - Pet'Nats 8 Alsace 9 Jura Whites 14 Loire Valley 15 Burgundy Whites 17 South of France White Wines 20 Europe Whites 21 The New World Whites 22 Alsace, Savoie Red Wines 23 Jura Red Wines 24 Loire Valley Red Wines 25 Burgundy Red Wines - Cote de Nuits 26 Burgundy 27 Burgundy Red Wines - Cote de Beaune 29 Beaujolais, Cote Chalonnaise 30 Rhône Red Wines 31 Rhône Valley 32 South of France Red Wines 34 Bordeaux - Le Bank Red Wines 35 Bordeaux - Right Bank Red Wines 40 Italy 42 Spain - Portugal 45 The New World Red Wines 46 USA - California Cult Winery 47 The New World Red Wines 48 USA - Finger Lakes - Oregon 49 USA - Washington State 50 The New World Red Wines Continued 51 Half Boles - Sparkling, Whites 52 Half Boles - White Wines 53 Half Boles - Red Wines 54 Magnums 56 Fortified Wines 57 Dessert Wines 58 2 Beer "It requires working with the best, whether it’s hops, malts, yeast, water, or people" John Maier, Rogue Ales Beer - Dra 1557 Brasserie Météor Pilsner, Alsace NV 13 2278 Allagash "White", Maine, USA NV 14 1238 Oskar Blues Brewery I.P.A "Pinner Throwback", Colorado, USA NV 15 Beer - Boles 2407 Bells Brewing Co.

It is the only organisation in Champagne to select its members according to a set of unrelenting quality standards. Each wine maker must make their champagnes entirely in his, or her, own premises and cellars. Furthermore the champagne must be made exclusively from grapes harvested in his, or her, own vineyards. The jury of oenologists and wine professionals who select the champagnes, demand irreproachable quality as regards both the work in the vineyard and the wines. Each champagne is subject to two blind tastings (once at the still wine stage before boling and again aer 3 years ageing in bole) by a panel of passionate and distinguished oenologists and wine makers. A Special Club champagne may only be made in outstanding vintage years. Only wine makers who have successfully passed these two tests are deemed worthy of puing their chosen champagne in the unique ‘Special Club’ bole which may not be used by anyone except the members of the Club Trésors. Obtaining this ‘Holy Grail’ is a true accolade and one that requires daily dedication and application by the wine maker. Only in this way can our select group guarantee to champagne lovers everywhere the exceptional quality and unique artisan character of our champagnes."

His view on rosé champagne has an advantage over white: “It adds colour to the table – and it soens the image of champagne, it makes it more genial.” Mr Domi doses the red wine until he achieves just the right colour and aroma, nothing too tannic, the aim being a champagne with a slight hint of dried fruit and strawberry."

Another Champagne from Clouet that achieves both structure and opulence yet remains focused. Plenty of bright red fruit 100 % Pinot Noir. Jean-François Clouet, who was born and raised in Bouzy, still lives in the 17th century village house built by his ancestors. As his family were the official printers to Louis XV’s Royal Court at Versailles, Jean-Francois takes great pride in his family lineage." 2510 Gatinois Brut Rosé "Tradition", Aÿ NV 128 "Spectacular Champagnes made in a vinous, Pinot-y (90%), style with the village of Ay's signature cherry flavors.
