Juvé & Camps
Juvé & Camps Reserva de la Familia Gran Reserva 2018
Cava
“Reserva de la Familia” (translating to ‘Reserve of the Family’) is one of the world's greatest sparkling wines, 100% estate, certified organic, always vintage-dated, and all the more notable because of the quality needed to produce it without dosage.
Langlois
Langlois Brut Reserve NV
Cremant de Loire
Langlois Brut Réserve is a standout in the world of Crémant, crafted from estate fruit sourced across six distinct vineyard areas in the Loire Valley. Grapes are hand harvested in small bins and gently pressed, with only the first press juice used. Each parcel and variety is vinified separately, and reserve wines are incorporated into the final blend, an uncommon practice in Crémant. The wine is aged for a minimum of 36 months, far beyond the appellation’s 12-month requirement, resulting in a complex, refined sparkling wine with remarkable depth and elegance.
