This elegant, traditional-method sparkling has dried apricot and lemon curd on the palate. Great for the heat, whether that's in the summer sun or by a fireplace.

Mainly Gamay with a hint of Cab Franc (7%), this light sparkling red has great pairing potential, with candied red fruit notes on a crisp palate.

Red fruit notes nestled in a melony background make this bubbly a great pairing with seafood.

Citrus and melon notes make this a great pairing for simple sushi or a light cheeseboard.

Chardonnay is Domaine l'Espiegle's most-cultivated grape, and they know how to treat it. One of the best Canadian Chardonnays we've tried in a while.

Mostly Chardonnay, with the remaining 5% split between Muscadet, Riesling, Savagnin, and Ehrenfelser, this cuvee is a nod to the farmers, interred in the eponymous cemetery nearby, who first tilled the soil on which these grapes are grown. Solemn, but not intolerably so.

A blend of all three Champagne grapes grown on the coolest plots (the "lieux frais" of the name) l'Espiegle has, aged for 34 months on lees. Fresh Brie rind and lemon on the nose, with all the creamy complexity you could ask for on the palate.

A medium-bodied red with notes of black cherry licorice, strawberry, and a hint of leather, this one could use some time in a decanter. Delicious now, but totally cellar-worthy.

As the name ("fougue" translates as 'ardor') indicates, this is a wine with impact, with cherry florality on the nose and notes of stonefruit and lemon curd on the palate, and an almond-y finish. Like some passions, this one needs time: open a day in advance for its full expression.

A nose of melon, beeswax, and riesling's signature petrol, fulfilled in a palate of cantaloupe and baking spices with a steely acidity.
