Producer: Dehours et Fils
The Dehours Champagne Brut Grande Reserve is the result of an assemblage of Meunier, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, with a great percentage of vin de rèserve, fermented according to Solera methods, embraced by Jerome in 1998.
Producer: Bouquin Dupont Fils
A wonderful champagne, 100% Chardonnay of Avize from vineyards more than 60 years old. A base of citrus fruit melted with the scent, and taste, of a custard where there are also two drops of lemon juice. Delicious and enjoyable.
Producer: Jacquesson
In Cuvée 748, reserve wines enrich its complexity without ever overshadowing the personality of the 2020 base vintage. The result is a refined, authentic Champagne that captivates with its depth and purity.
Producer: Dehours et Fils
The Champagne Rosè Oeil de Pedrix is the result of an assemblage of Meunier and Chardonnay from old vineyards. Flowery Champagne Rosè Extra Brut, particularly fine and fresh with a very limited production.

Producer: Jacquesson
A crystalline, pale-gold effervescence that opens with bright citrus zest — think lemon confit and tangerine peel — layered over rich brioche, white pepper and delicate floral hints. There’s minerality and a whisper of salinity that keeps it finely tuned.
Producer: Podere Poggio Scalette
The 2018 Il Carbonaione is one of the most elegant editions of this flagship wine I can remember tasting. Il Carbonaione is usually a rich, bombastic wine, but the 2018 is sleek, gracious and remarkably refined.
Producer: Marie Demets
The Champagne Tradition from Marie Demets in Cote des Bar offers a delightful sensory experience. It presents a pale golden hue with delicate effervescence dancing in the glass. On the nose, it entices with aromas of crisp green apples, ripe pear, and hints of citrus zest, complemented by subtle floral notes of acacia and honeysuckle.

The 2021 Barolo Bussia is a gorgeous, expressive Barolo. All the breadth of Bussia comes through in the glass, with the more laid-back, mid-weight style that is now the house signature. Deeply spiced notes meld into a core of dark red fruit. Lifted and aromatic, with understated power, the 2021 is wonderfully complex and dynamic.
Producer: Giuseppe Rinaldi
The 2021 Barolo Bussia, a new wine in this range, is fabulous. It is also a very serious, almost somber Barolo endowed with huge fruit and equally imposing tannins. Sage, mint, dried herbs, crushed leaves and spice lend compelling aromatic intensity to this deep, layered Barolo. Exotic hints of orange peel, spice and sweet dried cherry linger on the...
Producer: Giuseppe Rinaldi
The 2015 Barolo Tre Tine is a pretty, gracious wine. In 2015, the Tre Tine is bright and lifted, especially in its aromatics. Time in bottle will be a friend for this wine. For now, the 2015 Tre Tine is attractive, but also a bit quirky.
Producer: Giuseppe Rinaldi
Rinaldi's Brunate 2018 is one of the most satisfying wines of the vintage. Austere, medium in body and classic in feel. With that extra bit of textural resonace that is such a Brunate signature, the 2018 has a real potential.
Producer: Giuseppe Rinaldi
Good medium red. Reticent nose shows a bit less fruit today than the Brunate-Le Coste; smells softer and broader. Then much more horizontal on the palate than the 2008 version, with a strong flavor of cherry liqueur but not quite the sweetness of the 2007 Brunate-Le Coste.
Producer: Giuseppe Rinaldi
Moderately saturated medium red. Decadent, expressive, highly complex nose combines cherry liqueur, mocha, white pepper, sage, rosemary and cinnamon. At once silky and penetrating, with a bit less of the saline, earthy side of the 2008 and more cherry liqueur character.
Producer: Giuseppe Rinaldi
The 2018 Barolo Tre Tine is a super-classic wine. Spice, cedar, sweet pipe tabacco, dried cherry, macerated red cherry and anise start to open with a bit of coaxing. This is an intriguing wine.
Producer: Giuseppe Rinaldi
The 2020 Barolo Tre Tine impresses with its aromatic lift, polished tannins, and superb balance. While earlier vintages were more tannic and linear, the 2020 stands out for its finesse and elegance. Though lighter, it remains exquisite and well-rounded.
Producer: Giuseppe Rinaldi
The 2014 Barolo Tre Tine is nervous and tightly wound, with good precision and a bit more austerity than is the norm. This wine needs a little bit o patient, there is good delineation to the bright red stone fruit, tobacco and floral notes.
Producer: Giuseppe Rinaldi
The 2017 Barolo Brunate is a dark, powerful wine. A huge swath of tannins gives the Brunate its feeling of gravitas. Dark cherry fruit, lavender, sage, licorice, spice and earthy notes build into a crescendo of aromas and flavors that is just captivating.
Producer: Giuseppe Rinaldi
A Barolo of midweight structure and persistence, the 2014 Brunate comes across as a wine that will drink well with minimal cellaring. The 2014 offers fine balance in a decidedly gracious, understated style.
Producer: Giuseppe Rinaldi
The 2020 Barolo Brunate is stellar. I especially admire its mix of soaring intensity and energy, and yet the wine also remains light on its feet. Ethereal, nuanced and classy, the Brunate is a super-classic Barolo with the refinement of the present day. Dark fruit, spice, leather, menthol and licorice build into the potent, substantial finish, with notes...
Producer: Giuseppe Rinaldi
The 2013 Barolo Tre Tine is a super-classic, vibrant wine that bristles with energy. Lithe and gracious, but with terrific intensity, the 2013 is also surprisingly accessible for a young Rinaldi Barolo. Perhaps the 2013 will shut down in bottle, but today, it is all polish.
Producer: Giuseppe Rinaldi
Rinaldi's 2015 Barolo Brunate is a powerful, dense wine. Hints of spice, licorice and cherry develop with time in the glass. The power and intensity of the year are very much in evidence in this amazing Brunate.
Producer: Giuseppe Rinaldi
The 2020 Barolo Brunate is outstanding, balancing intense energy with a light touch. It's ethereal and refined, offering a classic Barolo profile. Dark fruit, spice, leather, and menthol lead into a substantial finish, with lingering notes of minerals and blood orange.
Producer: Giuseppe Rinaldi
Rinaldi's 2013 Barolo Brunate is dark, sensual and super-inviting. A wine of restraint, the 2013 is endowed with terrific depth and tons of personality. At the same time, the 2013 is not an explosive wine (like the 2010), but rather a Barolo that speaks to total finesse.
Producer: Giuseppe Rinaldi
Light-medium red. Exotic, slightly decadent, old-style aromas of roasted strawberry, truffley underbrush, tar and brown spices. Suave on entry, then creamy in the middle, with red cherry and strawberry flavors complicated by slightly funky but fascinating porcini and earth tones.
The 2021 Barolo Bussia is a gorgeous, expressive Barolo. All the breadth of Bussia comes through in the glass, with the more laid-back, mid-weight style that is now the house signature. Deeply spiced notes meld into a core of dark red fruit. Lifted and aromatic, with understated power, the 2021 is wonderfully complex and dynamic.
