Tête de Cuvée of the Day, en Magnum
Magnums, twice the size of regular bottles, are widely regarded as the optimal vessel for aging Champagne.
We believe they are also significantly more fun, and that you should be able to drink excellent Champagnes,
out of Magnums, every day as opposed to once in a while.

Burgundy: Côte de nuits
The Côte de Nuits is most famous for its silky reds, but whites can also prevail here and have proved
that the chardonnay and aligote here can shine just as bright as the whites from Beaune.

Burgundy:
The most famous, elegant,and complex pinot noirs in the world, these wines are made for royalty,
and have the history to prove it: the vines were planted in 1 AD. They create the perfect symbiosis between
earthiness, depth, and fruit, with a silky finish that always leaves you wanting more.
Côte de Nuits
Grown on limestone, these pinot noirs are the epitome of elegance: black cherry and spice linger in the mouth
with a velvety texture that showcase the pedigree of this infamous region.

finesse. Bright flavors of black cherry and silk create wines of depth and complexity.

Beaujolais
Further down the Burgundy wine region, we come across its neighbor grape, Gamay. Highly under-appreciated,
Gamay can prove to show remarkable concentration and flavors, especially wines from cru Beaujolais which can
exhibit Pinot Noir-like flavors.

Rhône Valley: Northern Rhone
Syrah is the main event on these very steep slopes, etched into hillsides rich with granite. Dark and serious,

Piedmont & the North
Nebbiolo, Italy’s answer to Pinot Noir, reigns supreme in the vineyard covered, rolling hills of Piedmont.
With this particular and powerful grape running the land, it is no surprise that Barolo is known as the wine of kings
and the king of wines, with Barbaresco as its elegant queen.
