A festive wine deserves a festive package! Villa Jolanda Holiday fizz is made from 100% Prosecco grapes grown in the hills north of Treviso. Grapes are hand-harvested, chilled in the vineyard, and given a low-temperature fermentation... Read More

This release of Cuvee M is 95% Chardonnay with 25% from vintage 2018 – a warm, rich, harvest – and 75% from a perpetual reserve from 2002. The reserve’s age and composition makes it less rich and fruity than... Read More

It's said that 150 years before Dom Perignon started to try to get rid of accidental fizz in Champagne, the monks of Limoux outside of Carcassone were making bubble on purpose. Their successors certainly keep the party going... Read More

One of the most deliciously savory Proseccos we've ever tasted comes from the very best subzone of the region and brother/sister team making benchmark wines for the past 20 years. The Vinous 91 point review describes it well:... Read More

A classy, elegant rose from one of Champagne's most important producers.

We’ve followed this oak-aged Champagne since its first release, and never has it been more luxuriously delicious than in this year’s model.

Just what you’d hope for in $20 Prosecco, but for less! This is crisp, clear and very fresh with pretty apple and yellow pear fruit accented by notes of thyme and wild herb. The tiny bubbles give the wine a creamy feel that’s... Read More

Natural Not “really” a Pet-Nat, but definitely that vibe is in play here in this wild and frothy blend of New Zealand Chardonnay (70%) and Pinot Noir. The base wines are made separately and then blended, bottled, given... Read More

A stylish Chardonnay/Pinot Bianco blend made like Champagne but tasting like Italy.

Lower ABV Christian Bellei is, as Vinous said recently, one of the true Lambrusco di Sorbara masters. A 4th generation Lambrusco maker, Bellei continues his father's innovation of making Lambrusco in the Champagne method -... Read More

As always, extremely limited. As Vinous says in the 94 point review, it's soft, seamless and exceptionally beautiful. White flowers, mint, chalk, lemon oil and marzipan are all finely sculpted. This is an especially taut,... Read More

Organic/Bio A super-fresh Champagne-style blend - 70% Chardonnay and 30% Pinot Noir - with a short 9 months on the lees to preserve the fruit and freshness. Even so, this is remarkably toasty in aroma and flavor, which complements... Read More

A luxury Champagne on every dimension other than price – and always on of our best-selling Champagnes for its compelling blend of delicious quality and remarkably low price. For this wine, the 59 wine growers who make up... Read More

For the past six years, this has been a terrific Brut Champagne at a crazy good price. It comes from a co-op founded in 1959 to help grape growers in Aube, the southern part of Champagne, get a little better deal from the big... Read More

Half Bottle.

This small cooperative winery in the heart of Champagne has struck gold with this cuvee- and yellow label gold at that. Because the Charles Clement Brut Tradition is the kind of wine that will thrill anyone who loves... Read More

As Antonio Galloni wrote earlier this year, “A decidedly mythical figure in the world of Champagne, Mignon’s philosophy takes familiar concepts of sustainability and expounds upon them with an almost spiritual, all-encompassing... Read More

As Antonio Galloni said 10 years ago, “Christophe Mignon might very well be the finest grower in Champagne most people have not heard about yet.” Which explains why none of us knew you could make something so precise,... Read More

Lower ABV Frankly, this is just better than most any Moscato d'Asti you've ever tried. It's from 40-50 year-old vines on limestone which gives an extra dose of concentration and minerality to the super-ripe apricot... Read More

A wonderfully fresh and vivid style of (just barely) pink Champagne. Oeil de Perdrix means eye of the partridge and applies to a Champagne that picks up just a touch of color from black grapes in the press. The wine is given a... Read More

Organic/Bio For decades, the Dekeyne family sold their 5 HA of grapes from the Cote de Sezanne to large houses in Epernay and Reims until brothers Gael and Baptiste recently began to bottle their own Champagne. It's outstanding,... Read More

The geography here is complicated, with the vines growing about 40 miles southwest of Geneva in the foothills of the French alps. The blend is distinctive, featuring 80% Gamay and 20% Chardonnay. But the real story is simple:... Read More

A rarity - a Dom vintage that's delicious right away! As Wine Spectator says in the 96 point rave, There's a well-spiced, zesty edge to the flavors of glazed apple, mandarin orange peel, pink grapefruit pith and crème... Read More

Lower ABV There’s a touch of spritz to this traditional Gaillac white, but it drinks more like a summer white Rhone than a sparkler. It’s 100% Loin de L’Oeiol, a native grape that gives terrific textural and... Read More

The brother and sister team of Jean-Rémi and Melanie Drémont took over the family vines in 2016, converted to organic farming with horse-drawn plowing and, by vintage 2018, were making gems like this powerful 100%... Read More
