Champagne Bollinger PN AYC21

Champagne

November 09, 2026 - The seventh edition of Bollinger PN, AYC21 is a 100% Pinot Noir Blanc de Noirs anchored by fruit from Aÿ, blended with Tauxières and Mutigny, and deepened by 25% reserve wines from 2012, 2013, and 2014. Each edition of PN is built around a single principal cru, offering a new interpretation of Bollinger's vineyards and savoir-faire. Aÿ, one of Champagne's most storied villages and a cornerstone of the Bollinger identity, makes AYC21 one of the most compelling editions yet.

Champagne Bollinger La Grande Année Rosé 2018

Champagne

November 09, 2026 - La Grande Année Rosé is a singular expression of La Grande Année, distinguished by the addition of red wine from the iconic La Côte aux Enfants vineyard. This legendary Aÿ parcel is owned entirely by Champagne Bollinger and vinified into red wine only in years when the grapes reach optimum ripeness. Fermented in small old oak barrels and aged for an extended period on the lees, every bottle is still riddled and disgorged by hand. The result is a cuvée of exceptional purity, reflecting the full expertise and savoir-faire of the Maison.

E. Guigal Château de Nalys Châteauneuf-du-Pape Grand Vin 2022

Châteauneuf-du-Pape

November 09, 2026 - The Guigal family's Châteauneuf-du-Pape Grand Vin brings together fruit from all three Nalys vineyards into a wine of exceptional precision and completeness, with intense old-vine Grenache and Syrah at its core, Mourvèdre and other estate varieties rounding out the blend. Half the composition draws from La Crau, whose ancient soils deliver the wine's signature structural intensity, building layers of fruit, spice, and minerality that unfold long into the finish.

E. Guigal Château de Nalys Saintes Pierres de Nalys Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2022

Châteauneuf-du-Pape

November 09, 2026 - Saintes Pierres de Nalys Châteauneuf-du-Pape, meaning “holy stones,” is a wine that reflects the soils and history of the region. This second red wine from Château de Nalys offers a different profile, with a focus on freshness and approachability. Crafted from distinct varietals and vineyard plots, it features vibrant red fruits, supple structure, and an overall bright, rich character. Unlike the Grand Vin, its fermentation in stainless steel and foudres highlights its freshness, making it an immediately enjoyable wine with a balance of depth and liveliness.

Marqués de Riscal Frank Gehry Selection Rioja 2019

Rioja

November 09, 2026 - A wine destined to write some of the most beautiful pages of Rioja wine in the 21st century. It takes its name from one of the greatest architects of modern times and the creator of the emblematic Hotel Marqués de Riscal. From vineyards of over 80 years, the Frank Gehry Selección is a wine of pure hedonism. A wine to caress the senses. The second glass is better than the first, when it has had a chance to breathe and opens up to reveal the quantity of nuances it displays. When it is made, production is between 3,000-5,000 bottles.
