From the Winemaker:  Saint-Hilaire Brut displays aromatic flavors of peach, pear and green apple skins with a wonderful, full, creamy mouthfeel. Think non vintage Champagne for a fraction of the cost.

Blanquette de Limoux is probably the oldest sparkling wine in the world. We know that in 1531, the Benedictine Monks of the Abbey of Saint-Hilaire were already producing Blanquette de Limoux which certainly makes it France's Oldest Sparkling Wine preceding Champagne by more than a century.

From the Winemaker:  Bollinger was established in 1829 by Jacques Bollinger and Paul Renaudin. The House has a reputation for producing muscular Champagnes with body, depth and power; these are classic, complex, Pinot-Noir dominated Champagnes with the ability to age gracefully for many years.

A blend par excellence; Special Cuvée is the purest expression of Bollinger's house style. Its biscuity nose is endowed with hints of white fruit and the rich, full-bodied palate is perfectly balanced by fresh acidity and a soft, delicate mousse. A stylish Champagne that is ideal to drink now or in the next two or three year.

From the Winemaker:  The coppery champagne, the burst of red fruit aromas…to achieve it, the blend is an essential element, a creative act. The Cellar Master and his team of experts select excellent quality red wines and still wines from some of the most sought-after vineyards in Champagne to find the flavors and characteristics that perfectly express the Veuve Clicquot Rosé style.
Made using 50 to 60 different crus, and 30 to 45% of Reserve wines, the cuvée is based on Yellow Label’s traditional blend: the Pinot Noir predominance (50-55%) provides the structure that is so typically Veuve Clicquot, while Chardonnay (28-33%) adds the elegance and finesse essential in a perfectly balanced wine, and a touch of Meunier (15-20%) rounds out the blend.
The blend is then completed with 12% of still red wine using red grapes, providing fruitiness. The long period of aging in our Crayères (3 years minimum for Rosé) lends silkiness to the Champagne.

From the Winemaker:  Jean-Pierre and his son Samuel Baron own a 20-hectare family domaine in the village of Thesee, about a 30-minute drive east of Tours, on the right-bank of the Cher River. Beginning in 1946, Jean-Pierre’s father was among the first to plant Sauvignon Blanc grapes in this region, which is now recognized as Appellation Touraine Controlee. Jean-Pierre Baron decided to leave the local coop and begin estate bottling with the 1998 vintage, and a new Loire star was born. In recent years, he has handed the vineyard and winemaking duties to his son, Samuel. Beginning with the 2010 growing season, Samuel initiated the transition of his estate to organic farming, or “Agricultural Biologique.” The domaine will attain its certification within the next couple of years.

The Barons prune severely in the fall season to limit yields to a very low under-40 hectolitres per hectare and ensure healthier, riper fruit. Organic, composted fertilizer is used only when necessary, and the winemakers strive to prevent vine diseases and parasites before they become problematic. The topsoil is lightly tilled so as the remove weeds without disturbing the sub-soil, thereby encouraging the vine’s roots to go further down into the ground. The deeper the roots, the more consistent the wine is from vintage to vintage, since the vines are less affected by temperature variations in the top soil.

The Cave de Ribeauvillé, is the oldest wine co-operative in France, founded in 1895. The winemakers work together with the growers to ensure low yields and only hand-picked grapes. The co-op includes over 650 acres of vines surrounding the town of Ribeauvillé. The vineyards for this Alsace Grand Cru Riesling are just over the wall from the famed Clos Ste. Hune vines (which create one of the most expensive wines in Alsace)

From the Winemaker:  Novellum is 100% Chardonnay from vines that are at least 30 years old in the Côtes Catalanes region of the Languedoc-Roussillon in southern France. This 2015 is positively bursting with fresh fruit character, bringing aromas of ripe honeydew melon, sweet orange, and warm honey. With a third of the wine aged in French oak for three months, you get just enough of a vanilla edge to cut through the fruit without an excess of wood. The depth and texture here is that of a wine well beyond Novellum's extremely friendly price!

From the Winemaker:  A classic Sancerre from an historic Domaine, owned and run by the Girard family since 1973. Nicolas and brother Anthony are making fresh, modern and aromatic wines, and this is a super example of quality Loire Sauvignon Blanc.

Domaine des Brosses was established in 1875 and lies 10 kms south of the town of Sancerre. The Girard family modernised the winery and vineyards when they bought the estate in 1973. Nicolas Girard has now taken over his father's 11 hectare estate and, with his brother Anthony, is making wines that are fresh, modern and aromatic. Both the brothers have travelled extensively throughout the wine world, and have used the knowledge and experience acquired to underpin the style of their classic Sancerre. Bright and pale golden. A fresh, citrus palate has herbaceous notes of hay and nettle. Richly textured but with crisp acidity and textbook minerality. The finish is elegant with typical purity and refreshment of excellent Sancerre.

From the Winemaker:  Located between Bordeaux and Saint Emilion, in the heart of the Entre-Deux-Mers, Camarsac fortress, erected on a hill and surrounded by its vineyards, is one of the most amazing sights and the most enchanting of Bordeaux . Built in the fourteenth century, it owes its nickname Black Prince Castle to the famous Prince of Wales. Captured and occupied during the Hundred Years War by a garrison of Du Guesclin that ravaged the region, it was besieged and dismantled by Bordeaux in 1377. The obstinacy of its owners, the family Canteloup, allowed the estate to rise from its ruins; their descendants, the family of Ceres, occupied the property for six centuries, and gradually transformed the austere fortress into a majestic sight. Lucien Lurton, owner of Brane-Cantenac and other famous Chateau, bought Camarsac in 1973, reviving its vineyards in the Entre-Deux-Mers. Since 2007, his son, Thierry Lurton has enthusiastically taken up the reins of the property.

From the Winemaker:  Batailley is an intensive typical Pauillac, with Cassis and very good structure. Very stable quality across the vintages due to the very old vines.

Château Batailley, a 5th Grand Cru Classé of the classification of 1855, is the family Castéja’s and Borie-Manoux’s flagship.

From the Winemaker:  The 2005 Chateau Cantemerle exhibits a superb, bright and deep red colour. The nose has not completely opened up yet, but the taffeta-like tannins give elegance and a velvety texture to the palate, specific to Cantemerle terroirs. This bottle is a great classic. The 2005 Chateau Cantemerle is a Haut-Medoc enjoyable already, yet it still has a few more good years ahead.
