Agrapart Avize

Champagne Agrapart et Fils was founded in Avize in 1894 by Arthur Agrapart, laying the foundation for a house that has been passionately crafting distinguished Grand Cru champagne for over a century.

The business passed to Arthur’s son, Auguste, in the 1950s, then to Pierre, and from the 1980s onward to Fabrice and Pascal Agrapart. The Agrapart story is one of dedication, resilience, and vision, producing exceptional champagnes that faithfully reflect the family’s heritage, expertise, and enduring commitment to quality.

Today, Fabrice leads the house together with his partners Emmanuel & Johanna , drawing on his family’s knowledge while navigating a new, independent path for the future generation, where his daughter Prunelle who plans to join the adventure as his successor.

This chapter marks a shift, with Fabrice envisioning Agrapart as a forward-looking house, focused on sustainable practices and honoring nature.

Dom Pérignon

Dom Pérignon is vintage champagne only. Each vintage is a creation, singular and unique, that expresses both the character of the year, and the character of Dom Pérignon.

After at least eight years of elaboration in the cellars, the wine embodies the perfect balance of Dom Pérignon, the Plénitude of harmony.

Champagne Philipponat

It is one of the last houses to be run by a member of its founding family, and Charles Philipponnat is a true Champenois who descends from winemakers, years. Until Krug's Clos des Mesnil was first produced in 1979, Clos des Goisses was the region's only great single-vineyard wine. From its first vintage in 1935, it was not only unchallenged as the beacon of terroir in Champagne, it was the sole argument that great Champagne could be made from a single site, rather than a blend of vineyards as had been done for centuries in the region.

Louis Roederer

Initially founded as Dubois Père & Fils in 1776, Louis Roederer inherited the company from his uncle in 1833, renamed it eponymously, and set out to target markets abroad. With concentrated efforts in several countries, including Russia. Tsar Nicholas II named Louis Roederer as the official wine supplier to the Imperial Court of Russia. Although the Russian Revolution and Prohibition in the US caused financial difficulties during the early 20th century, Roederer was re-established as a leading Grandes Marques producer and remains in the ownership of descendants of Rouzaud. Cristal is a precursor prestige cuvée brand and was made commercially available in 1945.

Gaspard Brochet

Gaspard Brochet is a rising star in the Champagne world, known for crafting expressive, terroirdriven wines from the Montagne de Reims region. Born in 1995, he comes from a lineage of winemakers—his father Vincent Brochet produced Champagne under his own label, and his uncle is the renowned Emmanuel Brochet.

Initially trained as a graphic designer, Gaspard returned to his native village of Écueil in 2013 and began his winemaking journey. He officially launched his own label in 2017, starting production in a garage next to his family home. By 2019, he had taken over the full 3.2-hectare estate, which spans Écueil, Sacy, and Villers-aux-Noeuds.

Champagne Laurent-Perrier

The House of Laurent-Perrier was founded in 1812 by André Michel Pierlot and took the name Vve Laurent-Perrier when Mathilde Emilie Perrier, the widow of Eugène Laurent, combined the two family names after she decided to expand the business.

Eugénie Hortense Laurent, her daughter, inherited the House in 1925 and sold it to Marie- Louise Lanson de Nonancourt in 1939. In 1939, Marie-Louise de Nonancourt, widow and mother of four children, mindful of their future, acquired the Domaine Laurent-Perrier.

During WWII, Marie-Louise Lanson de Nonancourt ran the business while two of her sons, Maurice and Bernard, joined the French Resistance. In 1945, Bernard de Nonancourt began an exacting apprenticeship, learning every aspect of winemaking from vine to cellar, before his appointment in October 1948 as Chairman and Chief Executive. At that point, the House was employing around 20 people and shipping 80,000 bottles a year.

Krug

Joseph Krug was born in 1800 in the German town of Mainz, part of France’s Napoleonic empire at the time. Growing up at the heart of the Moselle, he was exposed early on to winegrowing as fragmented as the Champagne region he would one day call home. He became a talented, purposeful young man and spoke three languages.

Setting off at the age of 24 as a trader and commercial traveler, he finally arrived in Paris in 1834. It was an exciting time where he lived in a creative milieu peopled by artists. Dreaming of making his mark in the world of Champagne, Joseph leaped at an opportunity that would eventually lead him to greatness: Joseph Krug was employed by Jacquesson, the leading Champagne house of the time. He quickly became a partner, travelled widely, mixed with the influential, but was far from satisfied.

For him, the essence of Champagne was pleasure, yet variables in the weather could make quality waver dramatically from one year to the next. Joseph dreamed of another way beyond the constraints that compromised Champagne quality.

Bollinger

The story began with Athanase de Villermont, the youngest son of a noble family with a brilliant destiny. A great soldier who shone during the American War of Independence, he inherited an extensive estate from his family in the Aÿ area. He then met Joseph Bollinger, a widely travelled German who had left his country of birth to learn about the Champagne wine trade, and Paul Renaudin, a local man, who was fascinated by the world of wine. The firm of Renaudin-Bollinger & Cie was founded on 6th February 1829. When Elisabeth Bollinger married Jacques in 1923, she was also to become passionately involved with the House’s destiny. She was only 42 when she lost her husband at the height of the war. Without hesitation and with great dignity she stepped in to take up the torch

Bérêche et Fils

Founded in 1847, Champagne Bérêche et Fils is a family-owned house now in the hands of the fifth generation, brothers Raphaël and Vincent Bérêche. Based in Ludes, in the Montagne de Reims, the estate has become a benchmark for grower Champagne, celebrated for its artisanal approach and deep respect for terroir.

Bérêche et Fils is renowned for its meticulous vineyard work and commitment to natural viticulture. The brothers have eliminated herbicides since 2002, employ cover crops, and use biodynamic methods to enhance soil health and vine vitality. Their vineyards span a mosaic of premier and grand cru sites across the Montagne de Reims and the Vallée de la Marne, with old vines—many planted in the 1960s and 1970s—providing exceptional fruit quality.

Fermentation often takes place in oak barrels, and the wines are aged on the lees for extended periods, contributing to their complexity and texture. Notably, the house uses natural cork for the second fermentation.

Charles Heidsiek

Champagne Charles Heidsieck is one of the great historic Maisons of Reims, renowned for its un-mistakably rich, layered style and its deep con-nection to the charismatic founder, Charles‑Camille Heidsieck—the man the world came to know as “Champagne Charlie.”

Founded in 1851, the house remains one of the smallest of the Grandes Marques, yet among the most respected for both its non‑vintage and vintage Champagnes

Jacques Selosse

The estate was founded by Jacques Selosse and his family in the 1950s, with the first vintage being bottled in 1960. The current proprietor of this estate is Anselme Selosse who took over from his father Jacques in 1980. Anselme studied at the Lycée viticole de Beaune and was one of the first winemakers to apply the winemaking techniques of white Burgundy to Champagne. In 1994, Anselme was named best French Winemaker by Gault Millau.

Jacques Selosse is a grower Champagne, which means the grapes used to produce the wines are grown in vineyards owned by the winery rather than being purchased from other growers, as is the case in most Champagne production. The entire production is grown according to biodynamic principles and Anselme is considered a pioneer of biodynamics in Champagne. Selosse wines are fermented using oak barrels.

Selosse holds 37 acres (15 ha) of vines, predominantly Chardonnay with the remainder Pinot Noir. Around 55,000 bottles are produced each vintage, depending on the conditions.

Ulysse Collin

Ulysse Collin is based in the village of Congy, in the Coteaux du Petit Morin region of Champagne. The Collin family has been involved in viticulture since 1812. However, it wasn't until 2003 that Olivier Collin reclaimed the family's vineyards, which had been rented out to a large Champagne house. Olivier, inspired by a trip to Burgundy and the wines of the region, decided to pursue winemaking. He studied law to reclaim the vineyards and later trained in viticulture and winemaking The estate spans 8.7 hectares, with 5.3 hectares used for independent production. The soils are primarily Campanian chalk with carbonated black flint and clay rich in iron. This unique terroir contributes to the distinct character of Ulysse Collin's wines. The vineyards are managed sustainably, focusing on soil health and minimal intervention Olivier Collin's approach to winemaking is heavily influenced by his mentor, Anselme Selosse. All fermentations are conducted in oak barrels, and the wines are aged on lees for extended periods to develop complexity.

Cédric Bouchard

Cédric Bouchard established his own Champagne house, Roses de Jeanne, in 2000. Initially, he started with a small 1.37-hectare vineyard in the village of Celles-sur-Ource, located in the Côte des Bar region of Champagne.

Bouchard's philosophy diverged significantly from traditional Champagne practices. He focused on producing single-vineyard, single-variety, and single-vintage Champagnes, which was quite revolutionary at the time. His dedication to quality and terroir expression quickly earned him a reputation as one of the most promising young winemakers in Champagne

Cédric Bouchard's Champagnes are known for their precision, elegance, and intense expression of their vineyard origins. They are highly sought after by Champagne enthusiasts and collectors alike

Veuve Clicquot

Philippe Clicquot, from a family of bankers and textile merchants, already owns vinyards and decides to establish a champagne house. His ambition was to "cross the borders", and true to his word, Venice was the destination of his first shipment of champagne.

Pascal Doquet

Pascal and Laure Doquet are based in Vertus, at the southern tip of the Cote des Blancs, with parcels located in Grand Cru Le Mesnil sur Oger.

A leisurely half-hour drive southeast from Epernay, across the Cote des Blancs and past the famous Grand Cru villages of Cramant, Avize and Le Mesnil Sur Oger, and you arrive in the little village of Vertus, which commands Premier Cru status in Champagne’s Echelle des Crus.

Pascal Agrapart

Champagne Agrapart was founded by Arthur Agrapart in the late 1800s in the village of Avize, although the real developer of estate was his son Pierre in the years 1950–1960. Nowadays the estate is run by Nathalie and Pascal Agrapart and they own 10 hectares of vineyards in the heart of Côte des Blancs. They are very focused on the terroirs of wines.

Champagne Jacques Lassaigne

Jacques Lassaigne is a 4.7-hectare family vineyard located in Montgueux. The vineyards boast prime southeastern exposure and consist entirely of Chardonnay. The Montgueux vineyard sites were originally held for the Montrachet of Champagne and are located near the gates of Troyes— the former capital of Champagne.

Emmanuel Lassaigne, Jacques’ son who now runs the vineyard has the initial tank or barrel fermentations of all wine and is carried out with only indigenous yeast. He introduces sulphur minimally at pressing to prevent oxidation, and then never adds any sulphur again. Emmanuel disgorges all the bottles by hand himself, a very uncommon practice in Champagne, where machine disgorgement is the norm. He developed this technique so that he wouldn’t have to top up the bottles after disgorgement.

Billecart-Salmon

Billecart-Salmon is a medium-sized champagne house in Mareuil-sur-Ay, France. Founded in 1818 with the marriage of Nicolas François Billecart and Elisabeth Salmon, it is one of the few to remain family owned.

The Cuvee Nicolas-Francois Billecart 1959 won first place in the Champagne of the Millennium 1999, out of 150 of the finest 20th century champagnes.

Savart

Champagne Savart was founded by Réne Savart who planted the first vines in 1947. Winery is located on the northern side of Montagne de Reims in the Premier Cru village of Ecueil. It holds only 4 hectares of vineyards of which 3,5 ha is Pinot Noir and 0,5 ha is Chardonnay. Savart follows organic principles in farming. In 2005 Réne’s grandson Fréderic Savart took over the estate.

Champagne Salon

Salon is a unique champagne. Defined by its singularity since the very beginning, this exceptional wine is the champagne of a single terroir: the Côte des Blancs; a single cru: Le Mesnil-sur-Oger; a single grape variety: Chardonnay; a single year: that of a great vintage; and of one man: Eugène-Aimé Salon.

The first vintage of Champagne Salon was 1905. It was the creation of Eugène-Aimé Salon, a unique character with unwavering ambition. In love with champagne and captivated by the terroir of Le Mesnil, Eugène-Aimé Salon created a champagne after his own heart: an unparalleled Blanc de Blancs. Initially he created this for his personal pleasure only – it was not until the 1920s that he was to share his creation with the rest of the world.

Champagne Salon comes from a single hectare plot called « the Salon garden » and nineteen other small plots in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger selected by Eugène-Aimé Salon at the beginning of the 20th century. The wines are aged in our cellars for an average of ten years, after which they finally start to reveal their complexity and finesse.

Jacquesson

Jacquesson & Fils is a Champagne producer based in the Dizy region of Champagne. The house was founded in Châlons-sur-Marne in 1798 by Memmie Jacquesson. The house makes the claim it is the oldest independent Champagne house.

The fame of the house grew following the rumour that it was a favourite of Napoleon, who bestowed upon the house a gold medal for its fine cellars. The Champagne house Juglar was absorbed into Jacquesson in 1829. By 1867 annual sales of Jacquesson bottles had reached 1,000,000, but a period of decline followed the death of Adolphe Jacquesson, inventor of the muselet, when the descendants ceased to continue the family business, and ownership changed hands over several decades, until in 1974 when it was bought by Jean Chiquet.

Today it is directed with brothers Jean-Hervé and Laurent Chiquet. Methods have changed to be organic, fermentation in oak is increased, new vineyards are bought in, but production still is limited to app.

Nicolas Feuillatte

Henri Macquart founded the Centre Vinicole de la Champagne in 1972 as a storage and vinification unit to serve winegrowers, federated around cooperative or individual wine presses, and it received its present name in 1986.

Nicolas Feuillatte created his brand in 1976, after inheriting a vineyard near Reims, the Domaine de Bouleuse. In 1986 it was purchased by the Centre Vinicole de la Champagne. Nicolas Feuillatte died in 2014 at the age of 88.

Champagne Jérôme Prévost

Jérôme Prévost inherited his grandmother's twoacre Vineyard La Closerie wich she didn't cultivate by herself. Jérôme’s good friend Anselme Selosse suggestedhim to make he’s own champagne. Jérôme started making champagne in 1998, but he didn't have his own winery, so until 2002 Prévost makes his wine in Selosse.

Champagne Egly-Ouriet

Francis Egly's champagnes impress with the exceptional quality of their base wines. They are powerful, terroir-expressive sparkling wines that are mainly based on Pinot Noir. Given that the Domaine is one of the most renowned producers of winemaking champagne today, it has not been in this business that long. Before Francis Egly took over the helm in 1982, most of the grapes were sold to negociants.

Of the 12 hectares on the estate, eight are in Ambonnay and the rest in Bouzy, Verzenay and Vrigny. The 2 hectares in Vrigny are planted with Pinot Meunier, the rest 70% with Pinot Noir and 30% with Chardonnay. The age of the vines goes back to 1947.

Domaine Jean Fournier

Domaine Jean Fournier is a historic estate rooted in the village of Marsannay-la-Côte, at the northern tip of Burgundy’s Côte de Nuits.

The Fournier family has been present in the region since the 17th century, with records dating back to the reign of Louis XIII. The modern chapter began in 1962, when Jean Fournier officially established the domaine.

Today, his son Laurent Fournier leads the estate with a deep commitment to terroir and sustainability.

Domaine Jean Fournier cultivates 22.5 hectares across some of the most prized climats, including Clos du Roy, Longeroies, and Es Chezots. The soils vary from Comblanchien limestone in Clos du Roy to Premeaux limestone in Longeroies, contributing distinct character to each cuvée

Domaine Stéphane Magnien

The domain is proud to say that for four generations they have not used herbicides, using plowing by horse and tractor to preserve the microbial life of the soil and force the vine's roots to descend more deeply, pulling great typicity from the terroir. "Far from 'vins médiatique' you will find in our bottles a subtle wine, well-structured, respecting the terroir and the vintage, with great length on the palate… all in finesse."

There is a high percentage of old vines in their parcels, including a great deal of "Pinot Tordu," a small-berried, aromatic old clone of Pinot - and there is a superb new cuvée Of Morey-Saint-Denis - the "Grains Fins" made entirely from young vines of Pinot Fin. Minimal new oak is used, normally 10% for the premier and grand cru wines, and the wines are bottled without fining or filtration. Hand harvesting, of course, and long, slow wild-yeast fermentations.

Domaine George Roumier

Domaine Georges Roumier is a wine producer based in the Côte de Nuits village of Chambolle- Musigny, where it produces some of Burgundy's most expensive, highly rated, and sought-after wines.

The Roumier story began when Georges Roumier married Geneve Quanquin in 1924. Quanquin had family vineyards in Chambolle- Musigny, which Roumier began to expand upon. Instead of buying plots outright, Roumier used the French sharecropping/lease system of métayage, whereby an individual cultivates the land for the owner in exchange for a proportion of the produce, to build up the domain's range. Roumier began with small plots in Musigny, moving onto Bonnes Mares as well as securing two plots in Clos de Vougeot. Most recently, Domaine Georges Roumier expanded into Ruchottes-Chambertin, where it is entitled to two-thirds of the harvest from a 0.5-hectare (1.2 acre) parcel owned by Michel Bonnefond.

Domaine des Lambrays

Domaine des Lambrays was established in 1363 yet it was only in 1981 that this climat was finally promoted to Grand Cru. The estate was purchased in 1996 by the Freune family and since then dramatic changes have taken place, leading to an upsurge in quality. At 8.8 hectares, this is the largest Grand Cru parcel in Burgundy under one proprietor.

Winemaker Jacques Devauges has been in charge since 1979. The vineyards are run on more or less organic lines, with no chemical anti-rot sprays, and ploughing of the soil by horse. In the cellar, he likes to use the majority of the stems, favours punching down over pumping over, and prefers to restrain the amount of new oak – around 50% for the grand cru. The produce of young vines is downgraded to Morey St Denis 1er cru where it joins the fruit of tiny holdings of La Riotte and Le Village. The village Morey comes from La Riotte, Clos Solon, Les Larreys and especially La Bidaude which lies just above the Clos des Lambrays.

Domaine des Lambrays produces wines which possess balance, power and finesse and which fully live up to their Grand Cru status.

Dugat-Py

The Dugat family have been winegrowers in the Gevrey-Chambertin appellation since the beginning of the 17th century. Bernard Dugat and his son, Loîc are the 12th and 13th generations to exploit the unique knowledge of winemaking and working in the vines, which has been acquired over four centuries.

Domaine Marchand-Grillot

Domaine Marchand‑Grillot is a deeply traditional, family‑run estate in the heart of the Côte de Nuits, known for producing expressive, terroir‑driven Pinot Noir across a mosaic of Burgundian parcels. Found-ed in 1950 through the union of two historic wine-growing families, Marchand and Grillot, the do-maine embodies seven generations of Burgundian savoir‑faire and a philosophy centered on purity, authenticity, and respect for the land.

Today, the estate is led by Jacques Marchand, with winemaking overseen by his son Étienne and the administrative side run by daughter Marion, maintaining a genuinely intergenerational spirit

The estate farms 9–12 hectares depending on source, comprising 47–50 different parcels spread across five Côte de Nuits villages: Gevrey‑Chambertin, Morey‑Saint‑Denis, Chambolle‑Musigny, Gilly‑lès‑Cîteaux, and Brochon. Vineyards also include prestigious climats such as Ruchottes‑Chambertin

Armand Rousseau

Armand Rousseau was born in 1884 to a family heavily involved in the wine industry as merchants, coopers and vignerons. He inherited several vineyard plots and the current domaine building in the village of Gevrey-Chambertin as part of his wedding in 1909.

Armand Rousseau was among the first few producers to bottle his own wine in Burgundy, with the majority of other growers in the region selling their wines to négociant businesses to bottle and sell. Rousseau was also a pioneer within Burgundy in selling his wine to the United States market after the end of prohibition in the mid to late 1930s.

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti

In 1232, the Abbey of Saint Vivant in Vosne acquired 1.8 hectares of vineyard. In 1631 it was bought by the de Croonembourg family, who renamed it Romanée for reasons unknown. At the same time, they acquired the adjacent vineyard of La Tâche.

The Romanée-Conti vineyard was bought by Nicolas Defer de la Nouerre, who in 1819 sold it to Julien Ouvrard for 78,000 francs. In 1869 it was bought by Jacques-Marie Duvault-Blochet, who went on to build the domaine we know today with the acquisition of the holdings in Échezeaux, Grands Échezeaux and Richebourg.

Domaine Raveneau

François Raveneau established the domaine in 1948 by combining vineyards that he had purchased with vineyards owned by the family of his wife, who was part of the Dauvissat wine family.

The domaine holds 9.29 hectares of vineyard land planted entirely with Chardonnay grapevines, in Chablis. The wines are harvested entirely by hand. Raveneau is one of only five estates in Chablis to still use this method.

No new oak barrels are used to make the wines. The wines are fermented in stainless steel and then aged in barrels with an average age of seven to eight years, for twelve to eighteen months.

Raveneau owns sections of three Chablis Grand cru vineyards. These are in Les Clos, Blanchots and Valmur.

More land is owned within six Chablis Premier cru vineyards. The largest holding is Montée de Tonnerre and Butteaux.

Vincent Dauvissat

One of Chablis' most prestigious proprietors, René Dauvissat, with his son Vincent, farms nearly 12 hectares of meticulously kept vineyards, all in Premier Cru appellations of Vaillons, Sechets, La Forets among the Premiers Crus, Les Preuses and Le Clos among the Grands Crus are splendidly located on hillsides underlain by Jurassic limestone. Dauvissat's fruit is harvested by hand and is not destemmed. Eighty percent of the grapes are fermented in stainless steel and 20% are barrel fermented.

Domaine Hubert Lamy

The Lamy family has been working in the vineyards since 1640. Domaine Hubert Lamy was created by Hubert Lamy in 1973. New winery was completed in 1981 and since then the work has been much easier. In 2003 the size of the vathouse was increased from 600m2 to 1200m2. There are now three stories to the building.

Domaine Ponsot

Vineyard Brands has a 40-plus year history of buying wines from Domaine Ponsot - first from Hippolyte Ponsot and then from his son Jean-Marie and more recently from Laurent and his sister Rose-Marie.

In 1872, William Ponsot purchased a wine estate in Morey-Saint-Denis and set-up his home there. His major parcels of land at that time were the Clos des Monts-Luisants and Clos de la Roche. His nephew and godson, Hippolyte Ponsot, took over the Domaine in 1920 after completing his career as a diplomat. In 1932, he started bottling his entire harvest at the Domaine, which was a rarity in that time.

Throughout the 1940s, his son Jean-Marie farmed the vineyards and made wine in collaboration with him. He took over when Hippolyte retired in 1957.

Laurent Ponsot started working with his father Jean-Marie on the family estate in 1981 and became its manager together with his sister Rose- Marie Ponsot

Maison Camille Giroud

Founded in 1865, Maison Camille Giroud began as a specialist négociant. They had a few hectares of their own vines, but the vast majority of their wines were purchased from top-ranked growers across the region. They’d then age these wines in their cellars until they reached peak maturity; sometimes decades later. In 2001, Giroud was purchased by a consortium, counting Napa Valley winery owner Ann Colgin and a number of wine investors as members. They wished to retain the distinctive business model of the maison as well as developing their terroir-driven approach with new, modern techniques. They brought in young winemaker David Croix and undertook a major revamping of the winery.

Domaine Taupenot-Merme

Romain Taupenot is the ninth generation to run this family domaine in Morey-Saint-Denis. While records show his ancestors practiced viticulture as far back as the 17th century, the domaine as we know it today truly came to be after the marriage of Romain’s parents, Denise Merme and Jean Taupenot, in 1963.

Domaine Jean Dauvissat

The Domaine is spread over 53 parcels of vines, extending over 22 hectares and 7 communes. This scattered division of their land helps to produce wines that are fully representative of the Chablis vineyards, and notably, to benefit from the specific characteristics of the two banks of the Serein River valley.

Let the terroir express itself and preserve it... is what they called it! This is the thought that drives all their interventions, from the first cut of the secateurs to the final stage of bottling. They will only intervene in the vines to help the plants produce the best they can.

It's with this spirit that we aim for reasonable yields, using targeted pruning, a closely controlled debudding and an organical fertilisation reduced to what is strictly needed. They have grown more and more towards organical viticulture for the simple reason that we can't see ourselves working differently. No weed killers or insecticides have been used since 2011. Biodynamics have found their way into our work since 2018, as a way to keep our soils and vines healty

Vignoble des Cabottes

Vignoble des Cabottes is one of Burgundy's newest prestige domaines, officially established in 2025.

It was at Maison Champy where renowned scientist, Louis Pasteur set up a laboratory and developed the pasteurization method. When Pasteur published his findings, he gave special thanks to fourth-generation Beaune wine merchant, Claude Champy. Pasteur’s laboratory equipment can still be seen today when visiting the Maison.

Chateau Rayas

Rayas is one the legendary properties from Chateauneuf du Pape. Great terroir, with poor, red, sandy soils, low yields and they are usually one of the last properties to harvest.

Of the 23 hectares of vineyards Rayas owns, only 12 are under vine. Of those hectares, two are dedicated to white wine grape varieties. Their vines are planted on deep layers of sand. Very few stones are found littering the landscape. Those poor soils are a big part of what goes into the singular character found in their wines.

Domaine Georges Vernay

A pioneer in the renewal of the Condrieu appellation, Domaine Georges Vernay has always produced wines of unique style, notable for their finesse, elegance and harmony. The property has become a major emblem of Rhone Valley winegrowing, from the time when Georges Vernay saved the Condrieu appellation to the international awards earned by Christine Vernay’s Côte- Rôtie. Three generations have left the mark of their philosophy on the estate, while perpetuating its traditions with the greatest respect for both vines and winegrowers.

Domaine Jamet

Brothers Jean-Paul and Jean-Luc Jamet are widely regarded as being among the very, very best producers of Cote Rotie. The house style is very traditional with only a small amount of new oak being used to preserve the character of the fruit and the terroir.

The brothers farm 6 hectares of Syrah—they do not own any Viognier—spilt among tiny parcels across the appellation. The main focus of production is the Cote Rotie, although they also produce a tiny amount of brilliant Cotes du Rhone from declassified grapes and, in exceptional years, an outstanding Cote Brune.

Domaine Clape

In the world of wine, there are many good winegrowers. However, there are only a handful who are truly great—Auguste Clape is among these select few. Critics and connoisseurs alike all agree that he is one of the greatest pioneers of the Northern Rhône, and his Syrahs from the cru of Cornas are among the most celebrated wines of France. The Clapes have been vignerons for many generations, but the infamous grower strikes of 1906 and 1907 forced his grandfather out of the Languedoc and into the Northern Rhône to start anew from practically nothing. The Clapes rebuilt their fortunes, terrace-by-terrace, along the steep, western slopes of the Rhône River. For many years, the majority of growers in Cornas sold their fruit to négociants. Auguste was the first to bottle his own wine, which eventually paved the way for such contemporary superstars as Thierry Allemand. Without pretense or fanfare, Auguste, the former mayor of Cornas, is a stately picture of grace and magnanimity—a no-nonsense, wise man who is still interested in learning. Today, he works side-by-side with his son, Pierre- Marie, and grandson, Olivier.

Jean-Louis Chave

The Chave family is the most famous vine grower on the hill of Hermitage. The history of winemaking in the family dates back to 1481, and since then responsibility has moved continuously from father to son without interruption. Chave owns around 14 hectares of vines around the hill of Hermitage, from nine different vineyards, but produces only three different wines, as the tradition in Hermitage is to blend wines from different vineyards.

Alain Graillot

Alain Graillot founded his domaine in Crozes-Hermitage in 1985, and rapidly became one of the most in-demand producers in the Northern Rhone for his exuberant, robust, and complete Syrahbased wines. Alain owns 50 acres of 30-year-old Crozes-Hermitage vines on the flat alluvial plain between the Rhône and Isère rivers, in well-draining soils of sand, gravel, and stone. He also has two tiny parcels in St. Joseph, from which he makes a slightly fresher, more early-drinking wine than the remarkable Crozes-Hermitage that constitutes the majority of his production.

E. Guigal

The Guigal domain was founded in 1946 by Etienne Guigal in Ampuis; a small, ancient village at the heart of the Côte-Rôtie appellation. It is overlooked by unique vineyards where vines and wine have been celebrated for over 2,400 years. Following his arrival in 1924 at the age of 14, the founder went on to make wine for 67 vintages in the Côte-Rôtie.

In 1961, a still very young Marcel Guigal took over management of the domain when his father was struck by temporary but total blindness. He was joined in 1973 by his wife, Bernadette and they worked hand-in-hand to expand the family business.

In 1975, their son Philippe was born and today he is the domain’s oenologist. Together with his wife, Eve, he represents the third generation and continues the family’s lifetime endeavour to be at the service of the greatest wines of the Rhône valley.

Château de Beaucastel

Legend tells that in 1321, under the reign of Pope Jean XXII, four barrels were bought from the papal cellar to be filled with wine in Châteauneuf. So pleased were the papal congregation with the wine that they planted new vines, and thus many châteaus in the region were born.

Château de Beaucastel has gone from strength to strength since the Perrin family took ownership, and the fact that the vineyard has produced such extraordinarily good harvests over the years that the family felt compelled to create a special cuvee is a testament to the estate’s distinction in the region. After all, Beaucastel is one of only three vineyards in the area to plant and vinify all thirteen grape varieties permitted under Châteauneuf du Pape appellation regulations.

In 2006, the Perrin family and the château joined Primum Familiae Vini, an association of a limited number of high-end family-owned wineries, and starting with the 2009 vintage, Beaucastel became one of the first wines outside of Bordeaux to be sold on the Place de Bordeaux by Bordeaux negociants.

Vieux Château Certan

In its formative years, the wine of Vieux Chateau Certan was considered to be among the top, if not the best wine of Pomerol. The more things change, the more they stay the same as Vieux Chateau Certan is once again considered one of the best wines of Pomerol.

Château Ségur de Cabanac

Château Ségur de Cabanac takes its name from the illustrious and powerful family of the same name of which we find traces from the sixteenth century and which contributed to the development of the Médoc vineyards including that of Saint-Estèphe.

Its vineyard of 7 hectares is located to the east of the town and faces the Gironde estuary. The vine with an average age of 30 years is planted on one of the best gravelly croupes of the appellation. Composed of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot, this Saint-Estèphe combines a powerful structure allowing it to age

Château Guadet

When the French Revolution broke out in 1789, Élie Guadet, from a family of Girondin magistrates, had already acquired a solid reputation as a litigant in Bordeaux. Appointed administrator of the department of Gironde in 1790 then president of the criminal court of Bordeaux, he was elected the same year deputy of Gironde in the Legislative Assembly.

With Gensonné and Vergniaud, he will be one of the founders of the political group of the Girondins. He presided over the National Assembly from January 22 to February 5, 1792 and chaired the National Convention from October 18 to November 1, 1792.

Pursued during the French Revolution, he found refuge in the cellars running under the properties and was guillotined along with his family in 1794.

Château Pontet-Canet

Château Pontet-Canet traces its origins to the early 18th century, when Jean-François de Pontet, a royal governor of the Médoc, consolidated several parcels of land in Pauillac.

In 1855, the estate was classified as a Fifth Growth (Cinquième Cru) in the historic Bordeaux Classification. After changing hands a few times, it was acquired in 1975 by Guy Tesseron, a Cognac merchant. Today, it is managed by his son, Alfred Tesseron, who has transformed the estate into one of the most progressive and admired in Bordeaux

Pontet-Canet is a pioneer of biodynamic viticulture in Bordeaux. Since the early 2000s, the estate has embraced a holistic, nature-first approach, eliminating synthetic chemicals and focusing on the health of the soil and vines. Horses are used to plow the vineyards, and natural preparations are applied to enhance vine resilience.

Château d’Issan

Château d’Issan is one of the oldest wine-producing estates in Bordeaux. The estate’s history dates back to the 12th century when it was known as Château Lamothe Cantenac. In 1152, wine from this estate was served at the royal wedding of Eleanor of Aquitaine and King Henry II of England. 17th Century: The estate became the official possession of the d’Essenault family, from which the name “d’Issan” is derived. The family undertook extensive renovations, including building a new castle next to the vineyard. After World War II, the Cruse family, renowned Bordeaux négociants, purchased the estate and began restoring it. Emmanuel Cruse, who took over in 1998, has been instrumental in modernizing the estate and enhancing the quality of its wines1.

Classification: Château d’Issan was classified as a Third Growth (Troisième Cru) in the historic Bordeaux Wine Official Classification of 1855.

This vintage is a testament to the exceptional terroir of Margaux and the meticulous care taken in the vineyard and winery. The 1982 Château d’Issan is drinking beautifully now, but it also has the potential to age further.

1982 Chateau D’Issan 227.00€

Château Phélan Ségur

It was not by chance that Bernard O’Phelan (1770-1841), a young Irish wine merchant, left his native town of Tipperary at the end of the 18th century to set himself up in Bordeaux. The town at this time was an important trading hub with the British Isles. Close relations were built up between the families that bought and sold the wines of the region from one another.

These links were such that they led to alliances and even marriages, in particular that of Bernard Phélan with one of the daughters of Daniel Guestier, a well-known merchant in the Bordeaux wine market. Helped by the experience of his father-in-law, he could now envisage producing his own wines. Four families and more than two centuries of passion, respect for the terroir and innovation in the service of a great name. After more than thirty years in charge of the property, the Gardinier family has decided to pass on the reins to Philippe Van de Vyvere. For this great wine enthusiast, taking over this prestigious growth is the fulfilment of one of his most cherished Dreams.

Château Ormes de Pez

In around 1880, Marie Cazes married Jean Guillou, the Ormes de Pez Cellar Master. He was sadly killed at the very beginning of the Great War and so Marie, a woman of great character, subsequently took over the business. Her brother Jean-Charles Cazes purchased Ormes de Pez in 1940.

Jean-Michel Cazes later redeveloped and modernised the traditional XVIII century buildings in the early 80's.

They are made of predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon and complemented by a significant amount of Merlot for a combination of longevity and smoothness. The resulting wines are rich and fruity with a rather imposing tannic backbone.

Château Cos d’Estournel

Born in 1762 during the reign of Louis XV and died in1853 under Napoleon III, at the remarkable age of 91, Louis Gaspard d’Estournel had one sole passion: Cos.

Having inherited a few vines near the village of Cos, he recognized, in 1811, the quality of their wine and decided to vinify them separately.

Very rapidly, Cos d’Estournel’s wine exceeded the prices of the most prestigious wines and was exported as far as India.

Château Cos d’Estournel has belonged to Michel Reybier since 2000. Mr Reybier’s objective has been to uphold the château’s high standards and constant quest for excellence while at the same time continuing the avant-garde style initiated by Louis Gaspard d’Estournel.

Château Petrus

The most expensive wine in all of Bordeaux had a very humble beginning. Compared to the top Bordeaux wines in the Medoc, it’s also a relatively new producer. Especially in the high priced Bordeaux wine category.

In fact, until 1982, while Petrus was not cheap, it was not that much money when compared to the other top wines of Bordeaux. It sold for about the same price as the First Growths in those days. Step back a decade to the 1970’s and Petrus sold for less than the First Growths. And if you really want to take a look back to the middle of the 19th century, the vineyards of Petrus were not even thought of as being worthy of making great wine! It was considered a luncheon claret, not fit for the dinner table!

Château Mouton-Rothschild

The Bordeaux Wine Official Classification of 1855 was based entirely on recent market prices for a vineyard's wines, with one exception: Château Mouton Rothschild. Despite the market prices for their vineyard's wines equalling that of Château Lafite Rothschild, Château Mouton Rothschild was excluded from First Great Growth status, an act that Baron Philippe de Rothschild referred to as "the monstrous injustice".

In 1973, Mouton was elevated to "first growth" status after decades of intense lobbying by its powerful and influential owner, the only change in the original 1855 classification (excepting the 1856 addition of Château Cantemerle). This prompted a change of motto: previously, the motto of the wine was Premier ne puis, second ne daigne, Mouton suis. ("First, I cannot be. Second, I do not deign to be. Mouton I am."), and it was changed to Premier je suis, Second je fus, Mouton ne change. ("First, I am. Second, I used to be. Mouton does not change.")

Château Margaux

Since the 16th century, It’s difficult to summarise in a few lines, the long and passionate history of the estate, it could be entitled “Once upon a time Château Margaux”.

Through the generations and through the centuries, the skillfulness of one and the innovations of others, progressively made Château Margaux into a wine of excellence; They only have to remember the progress made by Steward Berlon at the very beginning of the XVIII century.

Château Margaux’s history and renown stem equally from the intrinsic genius of the place as from the contributions made by the various people who have served it for five centuries. But there has probably not been an owner who has played such a decisive role, in such a short time, as André Mentzelopoulos, who purchased the Estate in 1977.

Château Clarke

Chateau Clarke dates back to the late 1700s when it was founded by Tony Clarke, which following the custom of the time, took its name from the estate’s founder, or current owner.

The vineyard has only changed hands two more times over the centuries. In 1820, the St. Guirons family bought the property and it remained in their hands until 1973 when Chateau Clarke was purchased by Baron Edmond de Rothschild.

Château Lafite Rothschild

While the first known reference to Lafite dates to 1234 with a certain Gombaud de Lafite, abbot of the Vertheuil Monastery north of Pauillac, Lafite’s mention as a medieval fief dates to the 14th century.

The name Lafite comes from the Gascon language term “la hite”, which means “hillock”. There were probably already vineyards on the property at the time when the Ségur family organised the vineyard in the 17th century, and Lafite began to earn its reputation as a great winemaking estate.

Jacques de Ségur was credited with the planting of the Lafite vineyard in the 1670s and in the early 1680s. In 1695, Jacques de Ségur’s heir, Alexandre, married the heiress of Château Latour, who gave birth to Nicolas-Alexandre de Ségur. The wine histories of the fiefs of Lafite and Latour were thus joined at the outset.

Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande

The estate was founded at the end of the 17th century by Pierre de Mazure de Rauzan. Through the marriage of his daughter to Jacques Pichon Longueville in 1694, the property entered the Pichon family and became known as Pichon Longueville.

The "Comtesse de Lalande" name derives from Virginie de Pichon Longueville, Countess of Lalande, whose share of the estate became today's château.

The estate was acquired by the Miailhe family in 1925 and gained worldwide fame under May-Éliane de Lencquesaing, who became owner in 1978 and transformed it into one of Bordeaux's most admired wines. Since 2007, the property has belonged to the Rouzaud family, owners of Champagne Louis Roederer

Château Durfort Vivens

The origins of the estate date back to the 14th century, when the influential Durfort de Duras family owned extensive lands in the Médoc. In 1824, the estate acquired the name Durfort- Vivens when the Vicomte de Vivens added his family name to the property. The château was officially classified as a Second Growth (Deuxième Cru Classé) in the celebrated Bordeaux Classification of 1855, placing it among the elite estates of Bordeaux. A major turning point came in 1961, when Lucien Lurton acquired the estate. Since 1992, the property has been led by Gonzague Lurton, who has modernized both vineyard and cellar practices while focusing on expressing terroir through sustainable viticulture.

Château d’Yquem

The history of Château d’Yquem dates back to the Middle Ages when the estate was owned by the King of England. In 1593, Jacques de Sauvage acquired the property, and the Sauvage family began cultivating the vineyards. The estate gained prominence in 1785 when Françoise-Joséphine de Sauvage d’Yquem married Count Louis-Amédée de Lur-Saluces, bringing the property into the Lur- Saluces family. Under her stewardship, the estate flourished, and its reputation for producing exceptional wines grew.

In 1855, Château d’Yquem was classified as a Premier Cru Supérieur, the highest distinction in the Bordeaux Wine Official Classification. This unique status reflects the estate’s consistent excellence and the superior quality of its wines.

Château d’Yquem is famed for its sweet wines, which are crafted from Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc grapes affected by noble rot (Botrytis cinerea). . The wines are aged in new oak barrels for about three years before release. This rigorous process ensures that each bottle of Château d’Yquem embodies the estate’s dedication to excellence.

In 1996, the French luxury goods conglomerate LVMH acquired a majority stake in Château d’Yquem. Today, the estate is managed by Pierre Lurton, who also oversees Château Cheval Blanc.

Château Palmer

Found in the village of Margaux, the wine produced here was classified as one of fourteen Troisièmes Crus in the historic Bordeaux Wine Official Classification of 1855. The property is situated in the communes of Margaux and Cantenac, and its wine is considered to be one of the two most popular Third Growths.

Since 1998, the Château has been producing a second label, not a second wine, Alter Ego de Palmer, selected from the same quality terroirs, but employing different wine-making techniques and different proportions of grapes. In order to produce an earlier-drinking wine. Some 40% of the estate's production is now sold as Alter Ego de Palmer. The result has been a significant reduction in the quantity of wine sold as Château Palmer (from nearly 20,000 cases before the introduction of Alter Ego de Palmer to 11,000– 12,000 cases currently). The previous second wine, La Réserve de Général, is not a component of Alter Ego de Palmer, but is now sold off in bulk.

Château Cantenac-Brown

The Chateau for Cantenac Brown is unique in the Bordeaux wine appellation. It is perhaps the only Bordeaux chateau designed in the style of a traditional, Tudor mansion in the entire region!

At the start of the 19th century, the wellknown Scottish, animal painter, John Lewis Brown purchased the estate. It was John Lewis Brown that drew up the plans and designed the ostentatious chateau in the Tudor style. While beautiful, it stands out, due to its unique design which includes 370 windows and doors.

More recently, in 1989 AXA, the massive insurance company with several Bordeaux chateaux in their portfolio including Pichon Baron in Pauillac, and estates in Pomerol and Sauternes bought the vineyard. AXA sold the property in 2006 to the Halabi family.

One of the first moves made by the new owners was to place Jose Sanfins in charge of the winemaking at Cantenac Brown. Under the direction of Jose Sanfins, the level of quality has continued to improve since 2009, followed by 2010 and 2015 as benchmark vintages for the chateau.

Château Le Pin

Since 1924, what we know of as Chateau Le Pin had been the property of the Loubie family. The grapes were sold or blended to produce other fine, but undistinguished Pomerol wines until 1978.

The minuscule 2.7-hectare vineyard of Le Pin is planted to almost 100% Merlot.

The terroir of Le Pin is clay with gravel and sand with deposits of iron oxide in the soil. The gravel is deep. In some parts of the vineyard, the gravel is close to 3 meters thick. The vineyard is ideally placed with good elevation on the Pomerol plateau.

Situated near the Catusseau village, the vines average close to 35 years of age. However, they have old vines as well that date to the 1950s. The vineyard of Le Pin is planted to a vine density of 6,000 vines per hectare.

Le Pin was probably the first chateau in all of Bordeaux to conduct malolactic fermentation in barrels. Interestingly, this was by accident and not by design.

Le Pin produces between 400 and 600 cases per year. The wine of Le Pin is vinified in 7 small, stainless-steel tanks that range in size from 15 hectolitres up to 42 hectolitres. In the cellars, all wine is moved by gravity. Malolactic fermentation takes place in new oak.

Château Lacabanne

The name “La Cabanne” comes from the small cabins where vineyard workers lived centuries ago. In the early 1900s, the property was purchased by the Audy family, who were well-known négociants and vineyard owners in Pomerol. Chateau La Cabanne was sold to the Estager family in 1952. The Estager family was already well known in Bordeaux due to their active business as negociants in Libourne since 1912. Château La Cabanne’s resilience and dedication to quality have made it a notable name in Pomerol. The estate’s wines are known for their traditional style and aging potential, making them a favorite among collectors and enthusiasts alike.

1990 Chateau LaCabanne 278.00€

Château Cheval Blanc

The history of Château Cheval Blanc stretches back centuries, with vines documented on the property since at least the 15th century.

The modern estate was created in 1832, when parcels were purchased from neighboring Château Figeac. These gravel-rich plots would become the foundation of Cheval Blanc's unique identity.

The estate quickly earned an international reputation, winning medals in major exhibitions during the 19th century and establishing itself as one of Bordeaux's greatest wines.

In 1998, ownership passed to Bernard Arnault and Albert Frère, with Pierre Lurton appointed to manage the estate.

Trimbach Estate

The wine-growing history of Maison Trimbach dates back to 1626.

Since then, twelve generations of winemakers have tirelessly drawn on their passion for Alsace wines, ensuring the wines they produce stand out for their quality and authenticity, patiently establishing, from father to son, a solid reputation for excellence.

Trimbach wine acquired true international acclaim in 1898 when Frédéric Emile Trimbach received the highest distinction at the International Wine Fair in Brussels.

Jean-Luc Baldes

This leading estate in Cahors in South West France has been owned by the Baldès family since 1830. Jean-Luc Baldès, the current owner has 57 hectares from which to make his portfolio of wines which includes small amounts of white and rosé although it is the red Cahors which shapes the estate reputation.

To this end, the vineyards - some of which are of considerable age - are planted mainly with malbec grapes as well as merlot and tannat. The style is structured and generously flavoured.

Domaine Guiberteau

In 1996, at the end of a lease cycle, Romain Guiberteau, who was flailing as a law student, decided to take over the management of his family’s vineyards rather than see the leases renewed. The following year, under the mentoring of Clos Rougeard’s Nady Foucault, Romain made 5000 bottles of red wine that he managed to sell easily. The success convinced him to pursue a qualitative approach to winemaking and to gradually take back his grapes from the cooperative.

In only a few years, Domaine Guiberteau has become one of the most sought after domaines in Saumur, their wines already stringently allocated and found in the best restaurants in France and Finland!

Domaine Didier Dagueneau

Domaine Didier Dagueneau is based in the small village of Saint-Andelain in the heart of the Pouilly-Fumé appellation and is the source of some of the most singular wines of the world. A true rebel, Didier Dagueneau decided to establish his own Domaine rather than join the family estate. He acquired his first parcel and began to vinify in 1982. Inspired by the work of Edmond Vatan in Sancerre and Henri Jayer in Burgundy, Dagueuneau was one of the first growers in Loire to experiment with single-parcel wines, starting with En Chailloux in 1982 and later with the cuvée Pur Sang in 1988.

After establishing his wines at the very top of the Pouilly-Fumé appellation, Didier Dagueneau further grew the estate by acquiring vines in the thought after vineyard of Monts Damnés in Sancerre in 2000, and in Jurançon in 2002.

Domaine Cazes

Maison Cazes, located in Rivesaltes, in the heart of the Roussillon region, between the Pyrenees Mountains and the Mediterranean Sea, was founded by Michel Cazes in 1895.

1927 Michel’s son, Aimé, convinced his father to buy Mas Joffre, a farmhouse that once belonged to Maréchal Joseph Joffre, the French First World War hero and native of the area.

1955 Over the years, the Domaine acquired neighbouring parcels of land and, by the 1950s, it extended over 40 hectares. The first bottles of Cazes wine appeared in 1955, at the instigation of André, the eldest of Aimé’s two sons.

In 1971 Aimé’s sons, André and Bernard, took over the running of the domaine. André was responsible for sales and Bernard managed operations on the domaine, which already covered 60 hectares.

In 1997 When Bernard’s son, Emmanuel, joined the business, the domaine started its conversion to organic and biodynamic growing. Since 2004 Lionel Lavail the son of a local wine producer took the direction of Maison Cazes and 2005 The entire domaine became a certified Organic and Biodynamic estate.

Piemonte

The province of Piedmont is in the northwestern corner of Italy. The best-known wines from the region include Barolo and Barbaresco. They are made from the Nebbiolo grape. These wines are ideal for storage and a well-aged Barolo, for instance, may leave a feeling of drinking velvet because the tannins are polished and integrated more and more into the wine. As the wine matures the colour becomes more brownish and rust-red. While Turin is the capital of Piedmont, Alba and Asti are at the heart of the region's wine industry. The wine making industry of Piedmont played a significant role in the early stages of the Risorgimento with some of the era's most prominent figures, such as Camillo Benso, conte di Cavour and Giuseppe Garibaldi owning vineyards in the Piedmont region and making significant contributions to the development of Piedmontese wines. The excessively high tariffs imposed by the Austrian Empire on the export of Piedmontese wines to Austrian controlled areas of northern Italy was one of the underlying sparks to the revolutions of 1848–1849.

Piedmont produces more DOC/G wines by volume than any other Italian wine region with nearly 84% of all the area’s wine production falling under a DOC/G designation.

Aldo Conterno

Aldo Conterno (1931–2012) was an Italian winemaker of eponymous wine producer Poderi Aldo Conterno from the Piemonte region in the district of Langhe, chiefly producing Barolo wines. The winery is located in Monforte d'Alba, and Conterno was widely ranked among Piemonte's foremost producers. Among Barolo aficionados the wines of Aldo Conterno have earned a reputation for being "modernist" but with a blend of traditional Barolo winemaking practices. Like many traditional Barolo makers, Conterno favoured long aging of his wines prior to it release to the public. Poderi Aldo Conterno owns around 25 hectares of vineyard land in Bussia Soprana, about 400 metres above sea level. The estimated average production is 140,000 to 150,000 bottles per year.

Bruno Giacosa

The Giacosa family’s winemaking tradition dates back to 1871 when Bruno Giacosa’s grandfather, Carlo, began buying grapes from local growers and vinifying them in the village of Neive, located in the Barbaresco production zone. This tradition was carried on by Bruno’s father, Mario, and eventually by Bruno himself.

Bruno quickly became known for his meticulous approach to winemaking, focusing on selecting the best grapes from top vineyards. Bruno’s dedication to quality and his traditional methods earned him the nickname "Genius of Neive".

In the 1960s, Bruno Giacosa was one of the key figures who demonstrated the full potential of Barbaresco, alongside other notable producers like Gaja.

His wines, particularly those from the Asili and Rabajà vineyards in Barbaresco and the Falletto vineyard in Barolo, gained international acclaim for their elegance and complexity.

The winery is known for its “updated traditional” approach, which includes long maceration periods and aging in large oak casks.

After suffering a stroke in 2006, Bruno’s daughter, Bruna Giacosa, gradually took over the leadership of the winery

Commendatore G.B. Burlotto

Commendatore G.B. Burlotto is a renowned Italian wine producer located in the Piedmont region of Northwest Italy. The winery is based in the commune of Verduno, which is in the Barolo wine zone. The history of Comm. G.B. Burlotto dates back to the mid-19th century when Giovan Battista Burlotto, the founder of the estate, began producing wines. He quickly gained recognition for his highquality Barolo wines, and his reputation grew.

G.B. Burlotto played a significant role in developing Barolo as a prestigious wine region. He introduced various innovative winemaking techniques in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, including longer macerations and larger oak casks for ageing. These methods helped to enhance the quality and complexity of his wines, earning him accolades and awards.

After Giovan Battista Burlotto's passing, the winery was managed by his granddaughter, Beppe Colla, who continued to uphold the family's winemaking traditions. In recent years, the estate has been led by G.B. Burlotto's great-great-grandson, Fabio Alessandria, who represents the fifth generation of the Burlotto

Roagna

The Roagna family’s winemaking journey began in the late 1800s when Vincenzo and Rosa Roagna produced their first bottles of Barbaresco. The winery officially traces its origins to 1880, marking the production of their first modern-style Barbaresco. Over the decades, the family expanded their holdings, acquiring key vineyards in Barbaresco and Barolo.

In 1929, the Roagna family purchased the historic Pajé vineyard, which remains a cornerstone of their Barbaresco production. The 1960s saw further expansion with the acquisition of the Asili vineyard, enhancing their portfolio with another prestigious site.

Today, the winery is led by Luca Roagna, the fifth generation of the family. Luca joined the winery in 2001 after completing his studies at the Alba School of Enology. Under his guidance, Roagna has continued to emphasize traditional winemaking techniques, including long maceration periods and aging in large oak casks. Luca’s commitment to minimal intervention and sustainable practices ensures that each wine reflects the unique terroir of its vineyard.

La Spinetta

Bruno, Carlo and Giorgio Rivetti are the three brothers behind the famed La Spinetta estate, which was founded by their parents in 1977. La Spinetta has become a modern Italian superstar winery, producing some of Piemonte's most delicious wines at their main estate in Castagnole Lanze and their newer 'Campè' estate (acquired in 2000) in Grinzane Cavour.

Enologist Stephane Mazzetta, who settled in at La Spinetta several years ago after working at other top Langhe wineries, implements and oversees the work in La Spinetta’s stunning, first-class cellars that handle grapes from 100 hectares of vineyards.

Masseto

Masseto is without doubt one of the most beautiful Merlots in the world. Since the first vintage in 1987, this wine has gathered a large following of fans.

Besides the hill with the distinctive blue clay soil, there is another element that is an essential factor in the terroir of Masseto; the Tyrrhenian Sea. It is only 10 kilometers away from the vineyards. In summer, the water reflects the sunrays, which indirectly gives the vines even more sun. On top of that, the sea provides a subtle, but cooling breeze. The tempering effect of the breeze causes the ripening process to slow down and take longer, resulting in the perfect balance between tannins and acidity.

Tenuta San Guido

The story of Sassicaia begins with Marchese Mario Incisa della Rocchetta, who envisioned creating a wine in Tuscany that could rival the great Bordeaux wines. In the 1940s, he planted Cabernet Sauvignon vines on his estate, Tenuta San Guido, in Bolgheri

Initially, Sassicaia was a private wine, enjoyed only by the family and close friends. However, in the 1960s, the wine's potential was recognized, and it was commercially released in 1968. This marked the birth of the "Super Tuscan" category, as Sassicaia broke away from traditional Tuscan winemaking rules by using non-indigenous grape varieties

Sassicaia gained international acclaim in 1978 when it won a blind tasting of Bordeaux-style wines organized by Decanter magazine. This victory solidified its reputation as one of the world's finest wines. In 1994, Sassicaia was awarded its own DOC designation, Bolgheri Sassicaia DOC, a testament to its unique status and quality

Montevertine

The story of Montevertine began in 1967 when Sergio Manetti purchased the estate as a vacation home. Initially, he planted two hectares of vineyards with the intention of making wine for family and friends. However, the first vintage in 1971 was so successful that Manetti decided to dedicate himself fully to winemaking. Over the years, Montevertine has grown to encompass 18 hectares of vineyards, with a strong focus on Sangiovese, along with small amounts of Colorino and Canaiolo.

Montevertine’s commitment to quality and tradition led to a significant decision in 1981. Due to Sergio Manetti’s refusal to incorporate Trebbiano into the Montevertine blend, the winery left the Chianti Classico consortium. Despite this, Montevertine remains a true representation of Chianti Classico, relying strictly on Sangiovese and traditional winemaking methods.

Montevertine’s approach to winemaking is deeply rooted in respect for the land and the vines. The vineyards are farmed organically, and the wines are produced with minimal intervention. This dedication to natural viticulture results in wines that are not only expressive of their origins but also of exceptional quality.

Biondi Santi

The story of Biondi-Santi Brunello di Montalcino begins in the mid-19th century with Clemente Santi, who started experimenting with Sangiovese grapes at his Il Greppo estate in Tuscany. He produced a wine he called “Brunello” due to its dark color, which gained recognition at the Paris Exhibition in 1867.

Clemente’s grandson, Ferruccio Biondi-Santi, further refined the wine by identifying a superior clone of Sangiovese, known as Sangiovese Grosso. He was the first to bottle it as 100% Sangiovese and officially named it Brunello di Montalcino. The family name was united under Ferruccio, and the wine’s reputation grew under his son, Tancredi Biondi-Santi, who promoted it internationally and ensured its consistency.

Romano dal Forno

The Dal Forno family has been making wine since 1983.

The estate vineyards and farm are located where the slopes begin to rise toward the mountains and sit 1,000 feet above sea level.

The loose, alluvial soils, meticulous pruning and scrupulous viticultural techniques ensure remarkable-quality grapes. The Dal Fornos use traditional methods to grow the finest fruit, and then employ modern techniques to produce the best wines — classic in expression and modern in purity. Dal Forno Romano is well-known for a number of superior wines that range from the region’s famous Valpolicella and Amarone to unique bottlings such as Vigne Seré, a passito dessert-style wine.

Viña Tondonia

All started in the middle of the nineteenth century when French negociants visited the Rioja region to find alternative sources of quality grapes to transform into wine, since the phylloxera epidemic had decimated their vineyards. Don Rafael López de Heredia y Landeta, a knowledgeable and enthusiastic student in the art of wine making, followed closely in their footsteps.

Don Rafael fell in love with the region and especially the area around Haro, the mythical capital of the Rioja Alta region.

Artadi

Artadi was founded in 1985 as a cooperative by a group of local winegrowers in the village of Laguardia, located in the heart of Rioja Alavesa. Their goal was to produce high-quality wines that reflect the unique terroir of the region. In 1992, Juan Carlos López de Lacalle transformed Artadi from a cooperative into a private winery. Under his leadership, Artadi began to focus on singlevineyard wines and adopted organic and biodynamic farming practices. Artadi is known for its innovative winemaking techniques, including the use of open tanks, no pumping, racking, pigeage (punching down the cap), and brief maceration periods. These methods help to preserve the natural expression of the grapes and the terroir. In 2016, Artadi made the bold decision to leave the Rioja appellation. Juan Carlos López de Lacalle believed that the ‘Rioja’ label did not adequately reflect the quality and uniqueness of their wines. As a result, Artadi’s wines are now marketed simply as “Vino de Tierra” or "Spanish wine". Their wines are a true reflection of the region’s terroir and the dedication of the people who produce them.

Pesquera
