Billecart-Salmon Brut Réserve NV
Sparkling🇫🇷 Champagne, France · Champagne blend
Crisp, polished and faintly sharp, it has the brittle elegance of Barbara Covett's voice. Bright on the surface, with an edge that bites.
The Pour

Domaine Faiveley Mercurey Rouge
Light red🇫🇷 Burgundy, France · Pinot Noir
Cool-fruited and quietly watchful, with a tannic grip that tightens as the glass empties. A good match for a novel of suppressed envy.
The Mood
A lonely teacher narrates her friend's affair with a pupil in prose that is witty, venomous and increasingly unnerving. A slow-tightening psychological trap, best read in one gleeful, uneasy sitting.
