Continuing on my series highlighting gems in the wine world you may not know about, previously featuring [Pluckemin Inn in Bedminster, NJ](https://www.reddit.com/r/wine/comments/1p26bbe/a\_night\_at\_pluckemin\_inn\_in\_nj\_featuring\_a/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=mweb3x&utm\_name=mweb3xcss&utm\_term=1&utm\_content=share button), The Oven in Lincoln, Nebraska, Sticks and Stones in Munich, and Bern's in Tampa (not underrated, but Tampa still surprised me), we now head to H3 Restaurant in Montréal Canada.
Went for a dinner with a client who is a fellow wine afficianado, this is a favorite spot in Montréal.
On the second floor of the Humaniti hotel, this is a lovely restaurant with a stellar wine cellar
Here is their famous wine list with 6K bottles: https://restauranth3.ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/nouvelle-carte-des-vins-mars-2026.pdf
Lovely place, great service, and amazing wines!
Let's do some notes!
**2015 Domaine Joblot Givry 1er Cru Clos de la Servoisine**
Who said you can't find value in Burgundy?
Enjoyed PnP, in a good place now. I rarely decant Burgundy anyway, unless it's just too young and tight, but this isn't the case here.
Still drinks young and opened up with air.
Picked up bright red cherry, strawberry, cassis, alongside some floral notes, maybe dried rose petals?
Solid acidity that can stand up to a lot of dishes.
91 points.
**2015 Az. Ag. Antoniotti Odilio Bramaterra Nebbiolo**
This bottle was a little tight at first, so gave it a decant to let it open up and balance out the tannins.
Enjoyed over about an hour, where the wine continued to evolve.
This was surprisingly fruit-forward, not what I expected from a Bramaterra.
Picks up lots of red cherry, blueberry, red plum, maybe some fresh herbs.
Didn't pick up many tertiary notes on this one, even with air.
Somewhat floral on the nose as well.
Enjoyable wine, which I'm sure will evolve, and represents solid QPR.
90 points.
**2010 Château de Fargues**
Was craving a Sauternes, but didn't want to break the bank, this delivered quite well.
Picked up all the honey, apricot, orange marmalade, peach, lemon curd notes.
Everything is nicely in balance too. Acidity still great.
Wish the mid-palate was a little more prominent, but probably nitpicking here.
92 points (on a dessert wine scale).

Well, my formatting was a disaster. Not sure what I did wrong! But hopefully still easy to read.
