Château Rieussac Premiere Cru Classé 2006
Château Rieussec has been a leading wine in the Sauternes region for several generations. Ranked as a Premier Grand Cru in 1855, it is made with a subtle blend of Sémillon, Sauvignon, and Muscadelle. The 2006 vintage is an elegant yet powerful wine that starts subtly in the mouth, with notes of honey and a long fruity finish. The perfect partner for desserts and a counterpoint for foie gras, each bottle costs P4.352.
Taittinger Nocturne
This Taittinger is a “sec” or dry Champagne made with Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier grapes. Blended using grapes of various vintages from around 30 different vineyards, this bubbly is laid down for four years to age before being disgorged. The slow cellar-ageing creates a round, smooth, rich Champagne meant for celebrations, the perfect accompaniment to dessert and foie gras. A bottle is priced at P3,120.
Rougié Goose Liver Paté
From France, Rougié is renowned for bringing the highest quality foie gras and Moulard duck specialties to its global clientele, with a philosophy based on sustainable farming, innovation, and a great passion for details. A delectable treat, this Goose Liver Paté is best savored slowly. One 210-gram costs P3,038.
La Maison Pébeyre Miel à la Truffe d’Été (Honey with Summer Truffle)
Founded in 1897, the family owned and run La Maison Pébeyre has been focused on truffles for four generations. The truffle honey is an exceptional example of this, with truffle peels still floating in the honey, their intoxicating aroma escaping as soon as the jar is opened. Drizzle it on cheese and pastries for an extraordinary finale. Each 250-gram jar is priced at P1,188.
Arnott’s Water Crackers
These delicious quality crackers are the perfect accompaniment for any assortment of dips, cheeses, and spreads, a staple when preparing cheese plates or grazing tables over the holidays. Each box is priced at P162.

Already renowned for its baking traditions, Cologne in Germany is home to traditional Christstollen. This sweet fruit bread is made with the finest flours, spices, sugar, marzipan, and raisins coated in icing sugar. Each box is priced at P450.
Cailler Milk Hazelnuts
Each bar of Caillier chocolate hearkens back to the 19th century when founder Alexandre-Louis Cailler produced milk chocolate using milk from the Gruyère region of Switzerland. Until today, this recognizable Swiss quality is stamped in every bar, especially the Cailler Milk Hazelnuts, where creamy Swiss milk and crunchy hazelnuts combine to create absolute perfection. Each bar costs P513.
Ragusa Classique
Swiss chocolate Ragusa dates back to 1942, a time when raw materials such as cacao was in short supply. So, Camille Bloch innovated using ground and whole hazelnuts to fill a bar of chocolate. Today, Ragusa still possesses all its original characteristics: same recipe and same method of manufacturing. The Classique boasts a smooth praline filling and whole hazelnuts, in its original rectangular shape. A single bar is priced at P311.
