Just released in magnum from the cellars of Launois deep underneath the village of Mesnil! Without a doubt, this is one of the best Champagnes we carry at any price. This is made from the Launois "mother vines" the massal selected old vines planted from 1947-1953 on the best mid-slope sites of their grand cru vineyards in Mesnil, Oger and Cramant. This is the last special club that they will ever produce, as they are moving to a proprietary tete-de-cuvee in the future. This shows off how well Chardonnay did in 2006 with brioche and texture that is hard t...

90 points Decanter: "Opens with a fanfare of peach, pear and spiced lemon; subtle architecture in the mouth with a chalky subtext and attractive orchard fruit, transported by a flowing mousse. Pretty accomplished and serious. (Panel Tasting)" (02/2017) K&L Notes: If you have enjoyed the wines of Lallement, Bollinger and Krug in the past, I think you will very much enjoy Michel Arnould. They are bold, masculine Champagnes with plenty of toasty flavor. This is a blend of 75% Pinot Noir and 25% Chardonnay, entirely from estate vineyards in the Grand Cru o...

Jancis Robinson: "100% Chardonnay from Aviza, Oger and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. Stainless steel, 100% malo and six years sur lattes. Dosage 2.5 g/l. Smells of sour cream and lemon zest. Lots of groovy, grooved bitterness, lots of dusty spice and stone dust. This wine is much more about the finish; the mid palate backfills right at the end. I love the contrast of the rich smoothness and ‘thickness’ of sour cream with the tiny, sharp, peppery, ground-rocks sensation of the bubbles. (TC)" (05/2023)

Roger Voss' selection of the best grower-producers of Champagne: "Michel Arnould & Fils has 30 acres based around Verzenay on the Montagne de Reims. Pinot Noir dominates his production, of which the best are the Cuvée Carte d’Or and Grande Cuvée." If you have enjoyed the wines of Lallement, Bollinger, and Krug in the past, you may very much enjoy the bold Champagne of Michel Arnould. The Brut Rosé is 100% Pinot Noir Grand Cru, acquired by assembling different vintages and red Coteaux Champenoises coming from old vines. This lovely rosé Champagne offers h...

This all-estate Champagne is aged for six years on the lees and is composed of 70% Pinot Noir, 15% Chardonnay and 15% Meunier. This wine has very fine, brioche like aromas from the long sur lie aging as well as a savory cherry note from the high-quality Pinot. It is very rich and long in the mouth, with a fine bead, again from long aging.

The Ariston's vineyards are vastly different than the other blanc de blancs producers that we carry. The steeper slopes, less chalk, and more fossils in the soil of Brouillet make for a rich, creamy style Chardonnay Champagne that will appeal to just about anyone. This is one of my favorite toasting Champagnes, as all of the flavors are up front, and it's open-knit and fun. It is a perfect way to start a party. (Gary Westby, K&L Champagne buyer)

90 points James Suckling: "A dense and fruity wine with cooked-apple and lemon flavors. A hint of biscuit. Creamy texture. Subtle finish. " (09/2019) K&L Notes: Baron-Fuenté is a négociant that owns almost 90 acres of vines and purchases another 90 acres "sur pied," meaning that they pick the grapes. This is an important distinction as many négociants buy "sur lattes," meaning in bottle! This delicious Champagne is composed of 10% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay, and 60% Meunier and has been aged three years on the lees. It is fermented at relatively cold t...

The Carte d'Or from Arnould makes up less than 2% of their small production, and they don't produce it every year- magnums are even more scarce. Patrick Arnould trades grapes with Delphine Cazals for this wine, which is 50% Mesnil Grand Cru from her estate, and 50% old vine Pinot Noir from the Arnould estate in Verzenay. Our allocation is tiny, and this Champagne is capable of very long ageing.

This spectacular Champagne is one of the most sought after in France, and Launois' cult status made it very difficult for us to make a purchase. We lucked out, and now we buy it directly, nabbing a top-quality value. This house is from Mesnil, the southernmost Grand Cru in Champagne and home to both Salon and Krug's Clos de Mesnil. This Champagne is 100% Chardonnay and all Grand Cru from the villages of Mesnil, Oger, Cramant and Avize - a roll call of the finest crus for Chardonnay in all of Champagne. Additionally, all the vineyards are Veritas-certifie...

Champagne always tastes better out of magnum. Paul Vincent Ariston says that his 25-year-old vines reflect the vintage, but the Prestige, made from vines averaging 60 years, reflect his terroir. It is composed of 50% Chardonnay, 25% Pinot Noir, and 25% Meunier. This was one of the best bottles from my last trip, and we drank two just to make sure! It has fantastic Brouillet black cherry power, and finishes very dry and super long. It is a powerhouse in the style of a vintage Bollinger, but with even more soul! Like almost all Champagne, this wine has rel...

"In magnum! The first ever straight vintage rosé from the masters of the style at Billecart. This wine is composed of 55% Chardonnay from the grand crus of Chouilly, Mesnil, and Cramant and 45% Pinot Noir from Verzenay, Mareuil, and Ludes. The red wine comes from ancient vines in the Valleofois vineyard just next to the Clos des Goisses in Mareuil. This incredible wine has the pure, subtle fruit that this great house is famous for on a frame that is as delicate and fine as one could imagine.

Named for the independent landowners who fought to defend Mexico in the 18th century, Chinaco has been producing excellent tequilas since 1972. Their distillery, La Gonzaleña, remains family-owned and -operated today. Its name pays homage to their patriarch, General Manuel Gonzalez, the hero of the Cinco de Mayo battle who served as President of Mexico from 1880 until 1884. Their Añejo is bottled at 40 proof after aging for thirty-five months in a mix of Scotch white oak barrels and ex-bourbon barrels. The result is a silky-smooth Añejo with beautiful oa...

Now in magnum! Alexandre Le Brun is the smallest producer that we import, or even carry, from Champagne at just seven and a half acres. He only makes wine from half of the grapes he brings in, selling the rest off to négociants—his production is just one thousand cases a year total. This tiny scale allows Alex to do nearly everything himself and his hands-on approach shows through in the finished product. He only uses his own estate fruit for his Champagne, and although small, his land is diverse. He farms 22 plots in eight different villages. Among thes...

Elisabeth and Jean-Marie only made 400 of these magnums, and we only got 12 of them! It is all Chardonnay, half from Elisabeth's best plot in Aÿ and half Louvois from Jean-Marie's best plot.

Now available in magnum! This Champagne is made entirely from selected grand cru estate fruit from the village of Mesnil. It is fermented and aged in 600-liter new-oak casks before being bottled and aged four years on the lees. It has a super rich nose of vanilla, sourdough toast, and Mesnil minerals. In the mouth it's very racy and dry, not nearly as broad as the rich nose suggests. I think this is one of the ultimate lobster Champagnes in our stock, and will repay five years of cellaring with a gorgeous drink. If you love Selosse's Origine and Tarlant'...

Champagne is always better from magnum, and at Lamoureux the magnums are always treated to at least an extra year of aging on the lees! This is one of the most exciting small-estate Champagnes that we stock, and it hails from just a few miles north of the border of Burgundy in Les Riceys. It is composed of 100% Pinot Noir, 50% of which is reserve stocks. All of the wine is fermented in stainless steel in a clean, racy style.
