Transparence of the World
Throughout WWII, French poet Jean Follain wrote poems that revisit the provinces of personal and cultural history. His quietly phrased, brief devotions are -described as miniatures, yet are monumental, capturing the pressure of history upon daily moments. By reducing the world to its small objects, every detail, every image becomes imbued with meaning. This bilingual volume, celebrating the centennial of Jean Follain's birth, is translated by W.S. Merwin, who writes in his introduction: Follain's concern is finally with the mystery of the present--the mystery which gives the recalled concrete details their form, at once luminous and removed, when they are seen at last in their places, as they seem to be in the best of his poems.

Bouchard Pere & Fils Pommard Premier Cru 2016
Drink it now or cellar for up to 20 years. It is recommended to decant it for an hour. Founded in 1731, Bouchard Père et Fils is a winery in the Cote d'Or, in Burgundy, rich in history and tradition and since 1995 it has been owned by the Maison Champagne Henriot. The company, now led by Stéphane Follin-Arbelet, owns approximately 130 hectares of vineyards in some of the most prestigious appellations of Burgundy, such as Chevalier-Montrachet, Corton-Charlemagne, and Clos Vougeot. The Pinot Noir grapes come from vineyards located in the heart of the Pommard appellation on soils of limestone origin with traces of iron. After vinification, the finished wine rests in French oak barrels (20-30% of which are new) for approximately 1 year. The Pommard Premier Cru du Bouchard Pere & Fils is an elegant and well-structured wine with a brilliant dark ruby red color. On the nose, it shows a broad aromatic profile with notes of blackberry and black cherry, hints of undergrowth and wood. On the palate, it is firm and full-bodied with dense and well-integrated tannins. It has a strong character and a long and fruity finish. It is ready to drink now but can remain in the cellar for several years. Excellent with Coq au Vin and roast guinea fowl.
Chateau de Marsannay Bourgogne Cote d'Or 2022
Cellar for up to 15 years. Decanting is optional, up to 30 minutes before serving. Chateau de Marsannay is located in the heart of the Côte de Nuits region, one of Burgundy’s finest strips of wine-growing land. Head wine-maker Sylvain Pabion works his magic at the chateau, turning 34 scenic hectares of vineyards into a range of classic Burgundy wines. In 2012, the Halley family acquired the estate, along with Chateau de Meursault in the neighbouring region of Côte de Beaune. Olivier Halley and manager Stephane Follin-Arbelet have overseen the domain's passage into fully organic farming, the results of which are now coming to fruition. The grapes for this Pinot Noir were sourced from premium sites across the Cote d’Or, resulting in a concentrated yet easy-drinking wine. It appears pale ruby in the glass, wafting with notes of bright red hedgerow berries, sweet spice and a subtle, classic earthiness. This Cote d’Or strikes an incredible balance between vibrant, crisp fruits and soft drinkability. On the palate, it shows the classic Pinot Noir high acidity, which drives flavours of wild raspberry, blackberry and tart red cherry. The fruit-dominated profile is supported by a deep well of earthy notes. This will be an excellent partner for soft, spicy cheese, mushroom risotto, or a rich salmon steak.
Chateau de Meursault Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2022
Cellar for up to 10 years. Decanting is optional, for up to 30 minutes before serving. With a history dating back to the 11th century, Chateau de Meursault has been a constant fixture of the Burgundy landscape, older than many of the trees and vineyards that line its fields. Nowadays, it is under the ownership of Olivier Halley. Along with manager Stephane Follin-Arbelet, he has spent the last 10 years overseeing the estate's transition to fully organic farming. The chateau is situated in the heart of the Meursault appellation. However, the estate owns 65 hectares of vineyard in all, spread across the most choice parcels of the Côte de Beaune region. This Bourgogne Pinot Noir is a blend, pieced together from the prolific vineyards of Savigny, and the robust plots of Pommard. Aromatic notes of ripe strawberry, raspberry and plum waft from the bottle, underpinned by subtle notes of baking spice, pepper and lilac. While the fruits came from 3 different plots, all were grown in stony soil, on exposed hilltops. High in acid, this wine shows stunningly fresh flavours on the palate, replete with notes of pulpy red berries, vanilla, bay leaf and hints of toasted nut. Its tannins are fine and well-structured, and it is worthy of some bottle ageing. Pair it with grilled meats, or a dish slathered in an umami gravy.
