There are few things I love as much as great Champagne. When given the option, I’ll open a bottle of bubbles before just about anything else. Unfortunately, most of the best bottles never make it stateside. What started as a quest to find the best bottles of my favorite wine has culminated into one of the most exceptional portfolios of Grower Champagne available.
Working with a group of like-minded vintners in France, Mario (Caldwell Estate Manager) and I have the opportunity to taste hundreds of wines side-by-side each year to assess texture, structure, and overall balance to find the wines that truly light us up.
Whether it’s a rare vintage bottling of Extra Brut or a Grand Cru Rosé, we look for absolute integration on the palate and the absence of any sharpness, from the first sip to the finish. Because Mario and I have different preferences, this portfolio offers a window into the vast breadth and depth of character of Grower-Producer Champagne. The whole lineup is a wow.
Things that make you go Mmmm…
- Membership includes a twice-yearly allocation of Premier Cru, Grand Cru, and rare vintage selections.
- Available in 12-, 6-, or 3-bottle shipments. We built this club the way we’d want it, so your membership can be further customized with a preference for All Rosé or No Rosé in your shipment.
- Many of these wines are once-in-a-lifetime bottlings or special vintage releases, which means they’ll be replaced rather than reordered. The club evolves organically from year to year, offering new discoveries with each release.
