Champagne Bollinger
R.D.
Champagne, France
A small revolution in the world of Champagne. In 1967, Bollinger releases R.D. 1952. There is no comparable Champagne on the market at the time. This bold and brilliant Champagne takes the pillars of what makes Champagne Bollinger so unique, and pushes them to their ultimate level. It is, very simply, a masterpiece.

Vieilles Vignes Françaises
Champagne, France
Vieilles Vignes Françaises is one of Champagne’s most mythical cuvees, produced from miraculously preserved and ungrafted 100% Pinot Noir vines. Phylloxera destroyed the vines of Champagne in the early 20th century, but amazingly enough two of Bollinger’s classified Grands crus plots, Chaudes Terres and Clos St. Jacques, survived and are still grown the traditional way. Madame Lily Bollinger first had this wine produced in 1969 as an anniversary cuvee to commemorate her 70th birthday.

La Côte aux Enfants Champagne
Champagne, France
Established by Jacques Bollinger between 1926 and 1934, La Côte aux Enfants is a steep hillside vineyard located on the outskirts of Aÿ. This unique parcel has been a source of endless fascination, producing some of the most highly prized Pinot Noir in the region. Aware of its potential, it became Champagne Bollinger’s ambition to produce a great vintage Champagne exclusively from this vineyard, with 100% Pinot Noir. The fruit comes from the north-west side of the hill, revealing a particularly refined expression of La Côte aux Enfants vineyard.

La Côte aux Enfants
Champagne, France
A stunning and extremely rare, still red wine produced only for the greatest vintages. This wine harmoniously combines 100% Pinot Noir Grand Cru fruit from an exceptional vineyard with traditional Burgundian style winemaking. Historically, Pinot Noirs from Aÿ were the most popular wines of the French court, specifically a favorite of King Henri IV, and La Côte aux Enfants comes from a steep plot just outside of the village. This wine is the purest expression of Pinot Noir, offering a fine, delicate texture in the mouth, and a tautness giving it a beautifully long finish.

Brut Majeur
Champagne
Ayala Brut Majeur perfectly embodies the Chardonnay-focused style of Ayala. This cuvée achieves balance and finesse through low dosage, stainless-steel vinification, and three years of aging on lees. Made from over 70 crus across Champagne’s key regions, including the Côte des Blancs, Montagne de Reims, and Vallée de la Marne, each cru is fermented separately in 120 stainless-steel vats, preserving its unique characteristics. The result is a Champagne of exceptional complexity, capturing the richness and diversity of the region’s terroirs.

Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos - Domaine
Chablis Grand Cru
Les Clos is the largest and most prestigious Grand Cru in Chablis, so it comes as no surprise that Domaine William Fèvre stakes its claim as the most influential landowner here. This shining example comes from a cooler microclimate at the very top of the hill, resulting in a remarkably fresh, complex, and age-worthy wine.

Chablis Grand Cru Bougros Cote Bouguerots -Domaine
Chablis Grand Cru
The Côtes Bouguerots is a particularly steep parcel of the Grand Cru Bougros boasting the steepest slope in Chablis, with a gradient approaching 45 degrees. Mostly planted in the 1950s and ‘60s, its shallow soils naturally restrict yields, making for a more complex wine. Some time on the lees in old French oak barrels makes for powerful wine, densely structured and with some roundness.
William Fèvre
Chablis Grand Cru Les Preuses - Domaine
Chablis Grand Cru
From Fèvre’s holdings towards the top of Les Preuses, this wine has excellent aging potential due to the soils, dense clay over limestone. A light touch in the cellar and a measured use of old French oak allow the quality of the vineyard to shine through in this round, yet elegant and intensely mineral wine.
