The domaines that consistently produce Burgundy’s most singular Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays, Champagne houses working parcel by parcel on the Montagne de Reims, Piedmontese producers aging Nebbiolo until it is genuinely ready rather than merely DOCG-compliant, appellation-redefining Sangiovese and Valpolicella, German Rieslings from monopole sites of volcanic and porphyry soils: they answer to waiting lists long before they answer to the open market. Securing any allocation of these wines requires relationships built over years and an understanding of how each winery works and what they value. And even then, obtaining much sought-after labels is only the beginning of the story. From transport and storage to final delivery, every stage is managed with care so that each wine arrives at your table as the winemaker has intended their creations to be enjoyed.

Our latest European arrivals reflect exactly that. From Chablis village level all the way to Grand Cru, from the finest family domaines of Gevrey-Chambertin and Morey-Saint-Denis, from a grower Champagne house of uncommon integrity on the Montagne de Reims, from Italy’s most uncompromising producers in Piedmont, Tuscany, and Valpolicella, and from the defining estate of Germany’s Nahe, these are wines from addresses that require access, patience, and trust to obtain. We are pleased to bring them to you.
