Château de La Chaize Fleurie “Clos de La Chapelle des Bois”

Beaujolais

January 16, 2026 - A precision-driven expression of cru Beaujolais, built for perfume, finesse, and structural detail rather than simple fruit. Sourced from a single-vineyard monopole in Fleurie, it captures the appellation’s signature floral lift and silky texture while delivering the depth and concentration that can only be expected from a limited single-site bottling. The wine’s personality is defined by freshness first, with layered red and dark berry tones, subtle spice, and a refined mineral line that keeps the palate energized and long.

Champagne Bollinger La Côte aux Enfants Rouge 2019

Coteaux Champenois

January 16, 2026 - La Côte aux Enfants Rouge is a stunning, extremely rare, still red wine produced only in 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 and a tautness on the long finish.
