Our Top Champagne

NV Champagne M. Brugnon Selection Brut

Hand-crafted by fourth-generation vintner Alain Brugnon and his family, this Champagne almost never leaves France. Made in tiny quantities, the only bottles in the USA are earmarked for Wine Access.

Bollinger’s Champagne-Inspired Loire Sparkler

NV Langlois-Chateau Crémant de Loire Brut Loire Valley

Taking a page right out of Bollinger’s own Special Cuvée Champagne-making script, this Crémant de Loire dazzles with the complexity we’re used to seeing only in Champagne. This a must-have. 

Terroir-Driven Sancerre Minus the Typical Price

2019 Domaine Hubert Brochard Tradition Sancerre Loire Valley

Just one sip reveals the mouthwatering 2019 Hubert Brochard Tradition to be as classic and irresistible as Sancerre gets. This is beyond light on its feet: It’s a wine that begs for multiple sips even before the waves of minerality are done coursing through the long finish. 

Highly Rated, Age-Worthy, & Stunning

2014 Trimbach Reserve Pinot Gris Alsace

The Trimbach family has been setting the standard in Alsace for close to 400 years. Their 2014 Pinot Gris finds the rare, perfect sweet spot between complexity, energy, and age-worthiness.

Petit Chablis, Grand Value

2018 Louis Moreau Petit Chablis Burgundy France

“Pinpoint-focused white Burgundy, 93 points—delivered!” our Master Sommelier Sur Lucero belted out after taking a sip of today’s Petit Chablis and slamming his hand on the table. “How are you gonna beat that?!”

Impeccable Provence Rosé from Two of Burgundy’s Best: 

2019 Domaine de Triennes Rose Mediterranee IGP 

The mouthwatering, mineral Domaine de Triennes Rosé Méditerranée is one of the most exquisite French rosés money can buy. It boasts the pedigree of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti and Domaine Dujac.

A Grand Value from a Grand Cru Mainstay

2017 Louis Latour Les Pierres Dorées Pinot Noir Burgundy

Maison Louis Latour is synonymous with first-class Pinot, from 100-point Grands Crus to stellar values from way-ahead-of-the-curve terroirs. Today’s Pierres Dorées Pinot brings that pedigree. 

“The Class of Juliénas”

2019 Domaine du Clos du Fief Tradition Cru Julienas Beaujolais France

Juliénas has 120 producers fighting for its prized and increasingly expensive grapes. Yet only Michel Tête’s wines, like this $22 2019 Cuvée Tradition, were dubbed “the class of Juliénas” in the New York Times.

A Critical Darling from an "Exceptional" Vintage

2018 Château Croix de Labrie Camille de Labrie Bordeaux

Frankly, with all that goes into it, it’s no wonder the 2018 Camille de Labrie shows such impressive fruit and savory spice—it’s easy to draw a direct line from this to the estate’s $90 Grand Cru flagship.

A Red to Charm Bordeaux Lovers & Napa Fans Alike

2018 Le Grand Bouqueteau Chinon Tradition Loire Valley France

This Cab Franc is a delicious lesson in all that makes the Loire Valley so special. It’s the kind of powerful yet elegant red that will charm Bordeaux obsessives and fans of the concentrated Napa reds.

A 100-Point Rhône Master’s Everyday Red

2017 Stéphane Ogier Le Temps est Venu Côtes-du-Rhône

100-point winemaker Stéphane Ogier’s collector Côte-Rôties will cost you $300+. This is a Côtes du Rhône for the ages, from a region-defining young producer. You can’t beat this pedigree or value.

An Icon’s Go-To Red:

2016 Paul Jaboulet Aîne Le Grand Pompée Saint Joseph

Paul Jaboulet Aîné’s landmark Rhône reds belong alongside the First Growths and cult Cabernets in your cellar. Their spicy, complex Grand Pompée is a savory, tightly-wound red that showcases their Syrah mastery.
