Champagne Bollinger Rosé

Champagne

October 27, 2026 - Bollinger Rosé is a Champagne that quietly breaks the mold. First released in 2008 and made in limited quantities, it begins as Special Cuvée before a small addition of still Pinot Noir brings vibrant red fruit, a touch of tannin and striking depth. Pinot Noir is the heart of Bollinger, making up at least 60% of all wines and shaping the Rosé’s bold yet elegant character. With one-third fermented in oak, aged for up to eight years and blended with reserve wines from magnums, this Rosé offers freshness, complexity and a silk-like texture.

Wine Spectator - September 01, 2026 "There’s a sense of precision to this elegant rosé Champagne, with its chalky base note and crisp, lacy mousse supporting a finely woven range of crushed white cherry and white…

Wine Advocate - August 31, 2022 "The latest release of Bollinger's NV Brut Rosé is showing especially well, offering up complex aromas of sweet stone fruit, honeycomb, freshly baked bread and orange oil, followed by a…

Wine and Spirits - December 01, 2021 "While this blend parallels Special Cuvée, the wine adds graceful red fruit delicacy with the inclusion of five percent red wine from Verzenay and Aÿ. The wine’s lovely depth and…

Vinous - January 01, 2015 "Bright orange-pink. Fresh red berries and tangerine on the spice- and smoke-accented nose and in the mouth. Sappy and expansive, offering juicy raspberry and bitter cherry flavors and a touch…

Le Macchiole Bolgheri Rosso 2024

Bolgheri

October 27, 2026 - Bolgheri Rosso is a refined, irresistible blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah, serving as an introduction to the estate. The wine is, frankly, almost too good at the price. All the intensive artisanal work that Le Macchiole carries out in its vineyards and cellars benefits this wine, and despite more availability than its Paleo Rosso, Messorio and Scrio siblings, it sells out nearly as quickly. Bolgheri Rossi is also the youngest of Le Macchiole’s wines, first produced in 2004. The objective: to make a Bordeaux blend, but typical of Bolgheri.

Wine Enthusiast - October 26, 2026 "A layered, intriguing nose opens earthy and graphitic, then turns juicy and fresh, and finally spicy and rich."

Wine Spectator - October 31, 2026 "Plum, blackberry, iron, earth and tobacco flavors ply the fluid texture of this lively red. Well-structured, showing both vivid acidity and dense tannins, yet everything is in balance, with a…

James Suckling - May 27, 2026 "Fresh and perfumed, showing roses, bramble fruit, horseradish and a touch of balsamic. Silky, supple and medium-bodied, with tension and firm structure."

Tenuta Perano Chianti Classico 2023

Chianti Classico DOCG

October 27, 2026 - Tenuta Perano Chianti Classico is crafted from vineyards perched 1640 feet above sea level in Gaiole, benefiting from optimal sun exposure and a unique amphitheatre layout. This distinctive terroir imparts a brilliant purplish hue, intense fruity aromas, and exceptional tannic structure to the wine, which exhibits an elegant vibrancy. The hand-harvested grapes undergo fermentation in stainless-steel tanks, with maceration and pump-overs for maximum polyphenol extraction. Maturation in oak barriques and bottle-aging further refine the wine's complexity and depth.

Wine Advocate - September 01, 2026 "The Tenuta Perano 2023 Chianti Classico is a nicely made and classically styled wine with good exuberance and no loose ends. Made primarily with Sangiovese and some complementary grapes, it…

Wine Spectator - June 01, 2026 "This red starts out rich, evoking cherry, raspberry, currant and mineral flavors. Resonates with vibrant acidity and solid, refined tannins, ending with balance and fine length."

Vinous - August 31, 2026 "...very pretty, delicate wine. Crushed flowers, mint and pipe tobacco lift a core of red-toned fruit. This is an especially understated, floral style for Perano. Silky tannins add to the…

Wine Enthusiast - October 26, 2026 "On the nose, a woodsy, floral feel comes first, followed by a sweet juiciness. The palate pivots to flavors of raspberry, strawberry, and orange peel, then the flower petals and…

The grapes are hand-harvested, pressed, and fermented in barriques, with partial malolactic fermentation and aging on lees.

James Suckling - May 07, 2025 "A fairly neutral wine on the nose, with a textured, silky palate, a medium body, zesty integrated acidity and a vibrant citrus aftertaste."

Wine Spectator - July 28, 2025 "A creamy texture embraces peach, vanilla, honey, sea salt and buttery pastry notes. This elegant white is harmonious and alluring; the only edge is a lightly bitter citrus finish."

Wine Enthusiast - October 26, 2026 "The wine has dill flower, Tahitian vanilla, and just a little yellow banana pepper that escapes the glass. On the palate there are zesty lemon qualities that entwine with green…
