Selection
Coquard 2019 Fleurie
The wine greets the nose with an enticing bouquet of fresh flowers, particularly violet and peony, characteristic of Fleurie wines. There are also subtle hints of red berries, such as ripe strawberries and raspberries, along with a touch of spice, perhaps reminiscent of white pepper or cinnamon.
On the palate, Coquard Fleurie is light-bodied and elegant, with soft, silky tannin that provide structure without overwhelming the senses. The dominant flavors mirror the aromas, with bright red fruit notes taking center stage. Juicy raspberry, cherry, and cranberry flavors dance across the palate, accompanied by floral undertones that add depth and complexity. There's a refreshing acidity that balances the fruitiness, lending the wine a lively and refreshing character. The finish is smooth and lingering, leaving a subtle impression of red fruits and florals.

34% Cabernet Franc | 33% Cabernet Sauvignon | 33% Merlot
This classical blend was created by using the ancient technique of fermenting uncrushed berries with native yeast from the grapes. After aging for one year in French barrels, it was bottled without fining or filtration. A further 12 months of bottle aging took place prior to release.

Odd Society Salal Gin (375ml)
Odd Society's iconic Wallflower Gin is infused with British Columbia-grown salal berries to create a West Coast take on the classic British liqueur, sloe gin. Towards the end of every summer, berries are handpicked along coastal B.C., and then steeped in our Wallflower Gin. This year, over 90 per cent of the berries came from remote Haida Gwaii, imparting the 2019 release with wild characteristics that reflect its origin.
Coquard 2019 Julienas ‘Jules Cesar’
