Langlois Brut Reserve NV

Cremant de Loire

November 24, 2025 - Langlois Brut Réserve is a standout in the world of Crémant, crafted from estate fruit sourced across six distinct vineyard areas in the Loire Valley. Grapes are hand harvested in small bins and gently pressed, with only the first press juice used. Each parcel and variety is vinified separately, and reserve wines are incorporated into the final blend, an uncommon practice in Crémant. The wine is aged for a minimum of 36 months, far beyond the appellation’s 12-month requirement, resulting in a complex, refined sparkling wine with remarkable depth and elegance.

Champagne Ayala Rosé Majeur NV

Champagne

November 20, 2025 - Rosé Majeur is the perfect embodiment of the originality and finesse of the House’s wines. Made predominantly from Chardonnay, it is crafted with the addition of a small proportion of Pinot Noir from the best crus of the Montagne de Reims. A low dosage enables it to express the House style, both feminine and generous, with great elegance. The very high proportion of Chardonnay and the aging process result in a Champagne with remarkable finesse. It ages on the lees for three years, which is more than twice that is required by the appellation.

Marqués de Riscal Rioja Gran Reserva 2018

Rioja Gran Reserva DOCa

November 11, 2025 - Marqués de Riscal Gran Reserva is a timeless wine which represents almost two centuries of winemaking skill. It has the traditional style of the Rioja Alavesa, with an elegance to its complex concentration, and recalls the aspirations of the founders of the bodega back in the 19th century. It is the wine made today that is a direct link to the bottles found in Riscal’s historical cellar, the largest such cellar in Europe with a collection of over 140,000 bottles dating back to 1860.
