Celebrate Valentine's Day with Grower Champagne
No wine symbolizes celebration like Champagne. And for decades - in fact centuries - 'Champagne' has immediately evoked the luxury brand image of an exclusive group of long-established 'Grandes Marques', for true connoisseurs things have changed.
While the Grandes Marques admirably maintain their reputation for consistency and reliability in association with production on a grand scale, one of the most exhilarating new developments in the world of wine is the emergence of small (sometimes very small) independent Champagne growers who are dedicated to producing terroir-expressive wines from their own small vineyards. Of course it doesn't hurt that many of the 'small vineyards' in question are superbly situated family plots that have been lovingly farmed for many generations, including some of the finest Grands Crus in all of Champagne. Suddenly we are blessed with a diverse array of distinctive wines that would have seemed too much to hope for a generation ago.
Today’s offer has a wine for nearly any champagne lover, covering a diverse array of styles.

Wine Spectator, October 2021
Rich and mouthwatering, with fragrant grilled nut and lime blossom on the nose layered with notes of pureed raspberry, kumquat, ground cardamom and graphite. There's opulence here, but it's well-checked and balanced by a firm spine of acidity and a salty streak of mineral that shows on the finish. |

Wine Spectator, November 2020
A lush, creamy style enlivened by a spine of mouthwatering acidity, this offers a finely knit range of fresh bread dough, crème de cassis, star anise and candied ginger flavors. The finish is clean-cut and lingering, echoing a rich tang of salted almond. |

The nose is a bouquet of aromas that has evolved over 5 years of in cellar aging. On the nose, there are layers of white flowers, hint of lychees, and dried fruit which are typical of great Chardonnays. The maturity is notable on the palate in the form of toasted hazelnut, pastries, and a well-marked mineral finish.
