Domaine Roy & Fils Incline Pinot Noir 2024

Willamette Valley

September 01, 2026 - The Incline Pinot Noir takes a more focused view: sourced entirely from the Quartz Acorn Vineyard in the Yamhill-Carlton AVA, it offers the fruitiness and mineral character typical of the Yamhill-Carlton marine sedimentary terroir.

James Suckling - January 20, 2026 "A floral, mineral-driven, medium-bodied wine with aromas of sandstone, tart Bing cherries and rose petals. The palate is super fresh, with salty, wild herb and tangerine flavors that are really…

Jeb Dunnuck - August 17, 2026 "The 2024 Pinot Noir Incline pours a jeweled ruby red color and initially shows more toast from its 15% new French oak, though the fruit remains beautifully fresh. Blackberries, blueberries,…

Wine Spectator - February 09, 2026 "Combining intensity with grace, this Pinot offers refined flavors of cherry and raspberry laced with stony mineral and dusky spice notes while building tension toward fine-grained tannins. Drink now through…

Vinous - July 01, 2025 "The 2024 Pinot Noir Incline Yamhill-Carlton opens with a bouquet of ripe raspberry, licorice, rose buds and dusty earth. The palate is soothingly round, with floral-laced red berry fruits and…

Champagne Bollinger Rosé

Champagne

August 31, 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 - August 11, 2025 "An enticing rosé Champagne, with a core of ripe and juicy raspberry, white peach and cherry, fragrant anise, cardamom and cumin, plus accents of slivered almond, candied ginger, blood orange…

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…

Champagne Bollinger Special Cuvée

Champagne

August 31, 2026 - Special Cuvée is a Champagne that defies category. Pinot Noir, the most demanding grape in the region, makes up at least 60 percent of the blend, giving structure, depth and signature red fruit. One-third is fermented in oak barrels, adding silkier texture and layered flavor. Reserve wines aged in magnums under cork for up to 15 years are hand disgorged into the blend, bringing richness and complexity. Aged much longer than most Champagnes, Special Cuvée offers freshness, savory nuance and velvety texture. It is a true expression of Bollinger’s devotion at every step.

93

Wine Spectator - August 11, 2025 "A vibrant, graceful Champagne that shows fine definition and integration, with a mouthwatering frame of acidity. The persistent, lacy mousse is enmeshed with an appealing range of ripe and juicy…

92

Wine Advocate - August 31, 2022 "Like its rosé counterpart, the latest release of Bollinger's NV Brut Special Cuvée is showing especially well, bursting from the glass with aromas of honeyed apples, crisp stone fruit, buttery…

92

Wine and Spirits - December 01, 2021 "A vinous Champagne, this has pinot-noir depths of flavor, the structure enhanced by barrel-fermented reserve wines. Youthfully blunt in its power, this will benefit from a year in the cellar,…

91

Vinous - December 01, 2011 "The NV Brut Special Cuvée is fabulous. Hints of pears, pastry crust and hazelnut lead to an expansive core of fruit. There is plenty of the signature Bollinger oxidative style…

Champagne Bollinger La Côte aux Enfants Rouge 2016

Coteaux Champenois

August 31, 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.

93

James Suckling - "Complex nose of red fruit with an autumnal touch of underbrush, plus a spicy element that expands and expands as the wine aerates. An impressively ripe pinot noir for this…
