6/750 A blend of two vineyards: “Les Plantes” represents about a quarter of the blend, with the balance coming from "Les Borniques". These two parcels— .04 hectares in total— are located on the alluvial cone of the Ambin valley; the substrata are composed of periglacial red silt, enriched with...

Partition is Jean-Marc’s creation: seven barrels from seven vineyard sites, always the same sites each year. Chardonnay comes from Les Frileux in Epernay, Maque-Bouteille in Dizy, La Justice in Vertus, Basses Ronces in Mardeuil, and Les Porgeons in Pierry; Les Gouttes d’Or and Les Gayères in Pierry...

In 1996 the Chiquets bottled an experimental lot of blanc de noirs from the vineyard Vauzelle Terme in Ay. The results were exceptional. The vines were planted in 1980 and grow in limestone soils mixed with some clay, with chalk bedrock. Vintage 2002 was the first release of this blanc de noirs.

This wine has an unusually fine mousse and terrific elegance, fruit and stony salinity. This is Sélèque’s flagship wine, representing nearly half of the total house production; it also roughly mirrors the house plantations, originating in all seven communes where Jean-Marc grows vines. A blend of...

From Jacquesson: "2010. Winter and spring were cold and dry, the first part of the summer was fine but the end of the season was cooler and showery. After sorting, the harvest was perfectly adequate resulting in elegant wines, fine and fresh, with the chardonnays to the fore."

The blend is 59% Pinot Noir and Meunier (from Aÿ, Dizy and Hautvillers) and 41% Chardonnay (from Avize and Oiry). Based on the 2014 vintage. Dosage is 1.5 grams per liter.

VERY LIMITED. Please Inquire. During the 1990s the Chiquets were improving their farming and re-discovering their terroirs. Their one hectare of Corne Bautray Chardonnay way up on top of a hill above Dizy particularly impressed them in the harvest of 1995, and they made an experimental cuvée from...

An equal blend of 1/3 each Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier from Grand Cru and 1er Cru vineyards: Cuis, Cramant, Oger, Mesnil sur Oger, Bisseuil, Mailly and Ludes.

Champagne Ployez-Jacquemart is celebrating its 90th anniversary this year, 2020.

The base vintage is 30-35%, reserve wines roughly equal parts of 3 prior...

The Chapelle-Chambertin grand cru vineyard faces east on a well-drained, gentle slope on the lower hillside east of Chambertin-Clos de Bèze. It is said that the small Notre Dame de Bèze chapel on this site was intentionally burned in the 1830s so that the land could be planted to more vines. This...

The 2016 Charbono is the second vintage that was produced exclusively with the fruit from the Rossi vineyard in Rutherford. As the vineyard manager of Frog's Leap Winery, Rory Williams was able to plant about two acres of Charbono in which he dedicated much of his time perfecting their growth and...

Source: 90% Central Coast, 10% Sonoma Winemaking: 85% stainless steel, 15% barrel fermented Aging: 8 months in neutral oak barrels Alcohol: 13% Tasting Note: Medium bodied and elegant, with ripe melon and citrus flavors. A touch of minerality and lively acidity keeps this wine fresh and focused.  

2017 was a stunning year to make white wine due to the fantastic growing season: the weather was warm, and yet the grapes held on to a bright acidity. Intentionally picked early in the growing season; whole-cluster pressed, then aged in 60% concrete, 25% stainless steel and 15% new and neutral...

In 2015, chateau owner Bertrand Gourdou was searching through an old desk when he came across a label that his grandfather had made in the early 1970's; that wine was called "Le pot-de-vin" which, in French, translates to "the bribe", which for that era was an audacious play on words for a wine...
