Veuve Clicquot is one of the most famous Champagnes in the world. Since its founding in 1772, Clicquot has not only been heralded for its wine but also for the courage and creativity of Madame Clicquot who is regarded as being the first businesswoman of the modern era. The well-known “Yellow Label” has become synonomous with quality. The layers of citrus and minerality from the Chardonnay, brambly berry from the Pinot Meunier, and the refined full structure from the Pinot Noir, which is the dominant variety in this blend, makes this an outstanding Non-Vintage Champagne.

“A fine example of a dry, sophisticated brut, this is an elegant style of Champagne whose understated apple and butter flavors are well balanced by crisp acidity.”
- Wine Spectator

From the incredible producer, Jean Pascal, This 2012 1er Cru Puligny Montrachet “Les Enseigneres” is a lovely white Burgundy that offers wonderful fruit, floral and mineral character with nice intensity and a long finish.

“Sourced from 3 small vineyards in the Gratallops, this blend of Grenache, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon is Clos I Terrasses’ second wine, made from the grapes that don’t meet the very strict selection for top wine Clos Erasmus, younger vines, or the occasional declassified barrel. But it is a thing of beauty unto itself, aged for 16-18 months in a combination of vessels and full of intense aromas of fresh blackberries, cherries, and spice. Dense and concentrated, but extremely energetic and with huge ageing potential.”
– Notes from the Producer

“Everything went quickly in 2015, in the vineyards as in the cellar. A flowering at the beginning of June, a veraison begun in mid-July and grapes that one begins to harvest at the end of August. In this vintage, the grapes were perfect. An impeccable health status and optimal maturity. This vintage is solar, with generous wines.”

“The 2015 Chablis 1Er Cru Vaulorent is a selection parcellaire within the vineyard. It has a tightly wound, quite backward bouquet that demands coaxing from the glass, hints of white flower developing with time, albeit reluctantly. The palate is well balanced with hints of orange cordial on the entry, harmonious with touches of yellow plum and dried honey towards the harmonious finish. This will benefit from 3-4 years in bottle, but it should evolve into a crisp, taut and classic Chablis.”
- Robert Parker, Wine Advocate (92 points)

“While 2013 was a difficult vintage, this estate produced a charming, classic 2013 Châteauneuf du Pape that has tons of character and will drink nicely for upwards of a decade. Possessing lots of black raspberry, blackberry, wild strawberry and peppery herb aromas and flavors, this beauty has medium-bodied richness and depth, solid mid-palate concentration and a great finish. I don’t think it will be the longest lived wine, but it will certainly drink nicely through 2023.”

Pink robe with very clear lychee reflection. A rich and complex nose of ripe fruit; vanilla strawberry, pomelos and tangerine zest open a procession of aromas for a perfect sweetness and complexity in the mouth. This gastronomic Rose will go perfectly with your charcuterie boards and summer fruit salads or on a citrus seabass ceviche. It is also top choice for an aperitif on the beach!

Zardetto’s Non-vintage Prosecco Brut is one of the most consistently delicious Proseccos on the market. It is also made in sufficient quantities to guarantee that it will be available in most, if not all, major markets. This exuberant, extroverted wine is full of flowers, pears and spices, and is sure to deliver much pleasure. -Wine Advocate

“This has mellowed nicely, revealing plum, leather, tobacco, iron and earth flavors. The tannins are well-integrated and the finish is long and harmonious. Drink now through 2023. 2,000 cases made.”

“Also showing a Bordeaux-like graphite quality, the 2014 Gigondas Cuvee Cecile (70% Grenache, 25% Syrah and 5% Mourvèdre aged in French oak) is medium-bodied, surprisingly concentrated and structured, with darker fruits, smoke and leafy herb aromas and flavors. It’s a big, rich 2014 that will keep through 2024.”
– Jeb Dunnuck, Wine Advocate

“While much of Sancerre lies on chalk soils, much of the Vacheron estate is planted on silex, which is flint over a clay and limestone base. This silex soil contains millions of tiny oceanic fossils, giving evidence that the entire region was once covered by the ocean. It produces wines of amazing minerality and acidity, with trademark smoky aromas. The famed “Les Romains” vineyard in Sancerre is made up exclusively of this soil type and the Vacheron family owns some of the more important holdings in these parcels.”
- Notes from the Producer

“Delicate and floral, with citrus blossom, apple and ginger notes. Nicely balanced, picking up some textural detail on the finish. Ideal as an aperitif.’
- Wine Spectator

“The NV Brut Blanc de Blancs is a great introduction to the house style. This elegant, fragrant wine offers up an array of smoke, toastiness, minerals, ripe pears and flowers. The medium-bodied NV Blanc de Blancs offers tons of clarity and precision at this level, with the lingering Ruinart sweetness on the finish.”

“The Bouzereau clan is widespread in the village of Meursault, with Domaine Michel Bouzereau at the forefront. Michel Bouzereau comes from a large winemaking family and has held the post of President of the Burgundy Growers Union. His is a voice to be heard. And what he likes to talk about is the traditional way of making wine. He ferments in cask and gives his wines nine months on their lees. Determined that his wines will smell and taste only of wine, the importance of new wood is acknowledged but downplayed. Michel’s son Jean Baptiste is now in charge of making the seventeen wines from this 11 hectare estate.”
- Notes from the Producer

“The La Migoua vineyard is on the outskirts of the village of Le Beausset, perched on the southern face of the Le Beausset-Vieux hill range on a chalk and clay terroir…Cuvée La Migoua is comprised of 50 to 65 % Mourvedre depending on the year. A significant amount of Cinsault is also grown in this vineyard, particularly on the south-facing hillside known as ‘La Louffe’. With a tendancy towards more animal notes than the estate’s other cuvées,La Migoua expresses great complexity. It is a wine with a delicate nose, excellent balance and a long ageing potential.”
- Notes from the Producer

“Offering more minerality than the cuvee Classique, the 2014 Bandol La Tourtine is a structured, tannic effort that has lots of fruit, ample mid-palate density and a masculine, firm style that will need bottle age to resolve.”
