## The Wine List

We rotate our list every quarter, chasing the vintage wherever it's most alive. All wines are chosen because the person who made them took a risk.

From cool-climate pinots to structured Jura blends — reds with presence but not aggression.

### Les Singuliers Rouge

Domaine Overnoy-Crinquand

◆ Sommelier's Pick

Arbois, Jura, France • 2022 • Poulsard / Trousseau

"Translucent garnet. Wild strawberry, dried violet, iron filings. Gossamer tannins — almost weightless. A Jura classic for those who seek depth without density."

Bottle $88

### Pommard 1er Cru "Les Pézerolles"

Domaine Courbet

Côte de Beaune, Burgundy, France • 2020 • Pinot Noir

"Ruby-red with brick at the rim. Black cherry compote, forest floor, spice box. Fine but present tannins with a long, mineral finish. Bottle-only for contemplation."

### Terre Siciliane Nero d'Avola

COS Cerasuolo di Vittoria

Sicily, Italy • 2021 • Nero d'Avola / Frappato

"Deep ruby. Cherry jam, sun-dried tomato, cocoa nib. Mediterranean herbs on the finish. Warm, generous, and endlessly food-friendly."

### Saumur-Champigny "Marginale"

### Muscadet Sèvre et Maine Sur Lie "Clisson"

Domaine de la Pepière

◆ Sommelier's Pick

Loire Valley, France • 2021 • Melon de Bourgogne

"Pale gold. Saline, citrus zest, wet stone, brioche from extended lees aging. Lean yet layered — the oyster wine of choice."

natural

Glass $15

Bottle $68

### Puligny-Montrachet "Les Charmes"

Étienne Sauzet

Côte de Beaune, Burgundy, France • 2021 • Chardonnay

"Gold-tinged. Ripe pear, hazelnut, cream, white flowers, and a razor-sharp acidity that gives the wine incredible length. A Burgundy benchmark."

Bottle $178

### Grüner Veltliner Smaragd "Achleiten"

Franz Hirtzberger

Wachau, Austria • 2022 • Grüner Veltliner

"Pale straw. White pepper, grapefruit, peach, mineral sheen. Full-bodied but never heavy. Smaragd ripeness with Austrian precision."

The Story

## Built for the Wine That Doesn't Make It to Lists.

Céleste Dubois spent eight years working cellars and bars across Lyon, Dijon, and eventually a small natural wine bar in the 11th arrondissement of Paris before moving to New York in 2017 with two bags and a list of winemakers nobody in the city was importing yet.

Maison Velours opened in 2019 in a former watchmaker's shop on Grove Street — seventeen stools, a narrow zinc bar, and a wine list that fit on one page. It still does. The room is small by design. The wines are chosen because they're honest: made by people who farm without shortcuts and bottle without correction.

Today Maison Velours pours around 80 wines by the glass and bottle, rotateing quarterly and chasing the vintage wherever it's most alive. The kitchen changes its small plates list weekly around what's in season at the Union Square market, two blocks away.
