Frescobaldi Castello Nipozzano Montesodi 2022
Chianti Rufina Riserva DOCG
May 22, 2026 - Montesodi is the ultimate single-vineyard expression of Sangiovese at the Nipozzano estate, created in 1974 from the eponymous vineyard with particularly stony soils. A Terraelectae (single-vineyard) Chianti Rùfina, Montesodi showcases a lively and elegant expression of Sangiovese. Situated at 400 meters above sea level, with schist soils and a south-west exposure, the vineyard benefits from significant temperature shifts, contributing to the wine's complexity and remarkable longevity.
James Suckling - July 15, 2025 "Complex and layered, with aromas of sour cherries, pomegranates, dried lavender and an earthy edge. The medium-bodied palate is textured and bright, with fine-grained tannins, cool fruit and a long,…
Wine Spectator - October 31, 2025 "A tense, linear version, this red boasts cherry, strawberry, earth and iron flavors. Firms up nicely on the finish, where the aftertaste of fruit and mineral extends."

William Fèvre Chablis 1er Cru Les Lys – Domaine 2023
Chablis 1er Cru
May 22, 2026 - William Fèvre Premier Cru Les Lys is a refined expression of the Vaillons climat, drawn from a 0.99-hectare plot once owned by French royalty. Located on an eastern-facing slope with clay soils over Kimmeridgian limestone, this site yields wines of notable elegance and finesse. Gentle handling in the cellar via gravity flow, light pressing, and fermentation on fine lees preserves purity and detail. The wine ages 13 to 14 months, with partial élevage in older French oak. It offers a floral, mineral-driven bouquet, supple texture, and a graceful, lingering finish.

William Fèvre Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre – Domaine 2023
Chablis 1er Cru
May 22, 2026 - William Fèvre Chablis Premier Cru Montée de Tonnerre is among the most esteemed Premiers Crus, thanks to its proximity and geological kinship to the Grands Crus just west. Fèvre farms three lieux-dits—Pied d’Aloup, Montée de Tonnerre, and Chapelot—high on the slope, with exposures from southwest to southeast. Each site brings something distinct: Pied d’Aloup adds salinity and structure, Montée de Tonnerre lends weight, and old-vine Chapelot (planted in 1936) contributes finesse. The result is full, rich, and mineral, with floral lift and impressive aging potential.
Wine Enthusiast - June 01, 2026 "This wine is elegance in a glass. Layered aromas of golden apple, toasted brioche, dried hay, field herbs, and forest floor charm the nose dusted with lemon zest. The palate…

Champagne Bollinger La Grande Année Rosé 2018
Champagne
May 20, 2026 - La Grande Année Rosé is produced only in select vintages, born from Lily Bollinger’s one condition—that any Bollinger rosé must be extraordinary. It is a subtle blend of La Grande Année and a small percentage of red wine from La Côte Aux Enfants, a Grand Cru vineyard in Aÿ used only when Pinot Noir reaches perfect ripeness. Producing red wine of this quality in Champagne is rare, and it showcases the House’s mastery of Pinot Noir. With deep color, balanced aromas, and refined vinosity, La Grande Année Rosé reflects its terroir, with remarkable aging potential.
