This is Not Champagne Christophe Baron

Christophe Baron, legendary winemaker of Cayuse, recently released a Champagne to his mailing list (he hails from Champagne, it’s not as random as you’d think).  Despite the sky high price, the wine sold out in less than three hours.  We’re not here to offer you that wine today, but to humbly suggest that there might be another option, hiding in plain sight on our shelves, that could scratch the same itch (for a little less coin)—Benoit Dehu’s “Rue des Noyers”.

A Trove of Back Vintage Rougeard

Presenting Verticals of the Cult Wine with Impeccable Provenance

Castello di Ama Gran Selezione

Castello di Ama has emerged as a true First Growth of Chianti.  Modern and focused on quality in both the vineyard and in the cellar, Castello di Ama makes rich, textural Chiantis that rival the biggest names both in Chianti and more broadly across Tuscany (including Brunello).

One notable signal of Castello di Ama’s commitment to quality has been their championing of the new Chianti Gran Selezione DOCG.  A level above Riserva, the designation requires longer aging and is designed to let producers highlight their tip-top wines from Sangiovese.
