CELLAR ACCESS - JANUARY!!
2026 is here! Cheers to the incredible moments and bottles of 2025, and we’re looking forward to another exciting year ahead. We’re starting off with some fantastic bottles that we were lucky enough to taste just before the holidays started cranking. Seasons change, years change, people change, but our never-ending hunt for incredible bottles never does.
This month, we have a beautiful Blanc de Blancs from Stephane Coquillette, because January is for Champagne lovers too. We also have a Chablis from Clement Lavalle, whose incredible wines have been turning our heads here at the Brentwood store. Lastly, we have the Dolcetto d’Alba from Roagna, a winery that needs no introduction for lovers of Northern Italian wine.

NV Stephane Coquillette, Cuvee Diane Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru, Chouilly
NV Stephane Coquillette, Cuvee Diane Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru, Chouilly
100% Chardonnay from old vines in the Grand Cru village of Chouilly, pressed slowly and aged in stainless steel. Bottled with 5 g/l dosage.
Stephane Coquillette has spent his entire lifetime in the vines of the Cote des Blancs. Encouraged by his father to strike out on his own at just 25 years old, Stephane set up his own winery in 1979 with a specific mission focused on low-dosage and terroir-focused bottlings. The entire production is from family-owned plots that are meticulously farmed, but the only certification Stephane deems important is their membership in the Vignerons Independants de France.
Stephane Coquillette
Numerous wineries in France and several in Champagne come from long lineages of winemaking and grape-growing, but not many can claim to be the first name to bottle within their village. Wines produced under the Pierre Coquillette label stretch back to 1928, when Stephane’s grandmother was the first in the village of Chouilly to bottle the family production. She also began bottling under another label, Champagne Saint-Chamant, which Stephane’s father, Christian Coquillette, oversaw for 70 years before passing it on to Stephane.
The winery remains in Chouilly, and the family’s holdings extend to the neighboring village of Cuis, along with a few vines spread across the villages of Ay and Mareuil in the Montagne de Reims. While still a young man, Stephane’s father, Christian, encouraged him to set up his own winery where he began working on his own style focused on low dosage and single-vineyard bottlings.
Fermentations occur in stainless steel, and then, depending on the wine, the juice is aged in used barrels from Meursault. As proud members of the Vignerons Independants de France, their entire production is made from family-owned vineyards. Additionally, Stephane does not use reserve wine for any of the non-vintage cuvees.

2023 Clement Lavallee, Chablis, 45°
2023 Clement Lavallee, Chablis, 45°
One of Clement’s top parcels named for the particular vineyard’s steep slope forcing the vines to establish deep roots. This bottling is fermented in stainless steel and aged in 20% new oak. Saline, powerful and one of Clement’s most generous bottlings.
One of the young stars of Northern Burgundy, Clement Lavallée grew up in a Chablisienne winemaking family but has ventured out on his own, putting countless years of red-winemaking experience to the test where it has never been popular, all the while crafting gorgeous examples of classic whites from Chablis and its neighbors.
Clement Lavallee
At Thatcher’s Wines, we are very familiar with the “young guns” of viticulture. After all, we import quite a few of these mavericks who find new ways to astound us with superb wines. The regional names might be less renowned (or even sans-appellation “Vins de Table”), but the sublime quality is always there. In that spirit, I want to talk about Clement Lavallee, a producer plying his trade in the Sauvignon-Blanc-centric Saint-Bris, as well as Coteaux Auxerrois and Chablis. Despite a significant viticultural lineage and a family winery in his village, Clement decided to strike out on his own and make some tasty wines to the beat of his drum that spark joy and are absolute stunners.
A core belief of the “new wave” of winemakers- no matter where they are- is that to truly make phenomenal wines must build experience at wineries across the globe. Clement Lavallee took that tenet to heart as he embarked on an eight-year journey to perfect his understanding of vinifying Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Pinot Noir (as well as non-Burgundy varieties). His storied travels included plying his trade at his hometown Domaine Verret in Saint-Bris, and iconic Armand Heitz, Chateau Margeaux, and Chaputier.
Not long after returning to Saint-Bris, Clement chose to set off on his own despite being a part of a winemaking family, and his endeavors have since elevated the appellation’s reputation and quality. He funnels his inspiration and technical know-how to make wines that reflect the unique terroirs of the less-explored parts of Northern Burgundy. Now I can tell you these wines are delicious, but- considering their cost- wouldn’t you like to try some for yourself?

2024 Roagna, Dolcetto d'Alba
2024 Roagna, Dolcetto d'Alba
50+ year-old vines from estate fruit that is aged for a year in wooden and concrete vats. One of the most aromatic, floral and complex Dolcettos that we’ve come across.
Some of the finest wines in all of Italy today are being made by Luca Roagna, the fifth generation to bottle under his last name in Barbaresco. The Roagna family has some of the most prestigious holdings in Barbaresco’s top crus of Asili, Albesani, and Paje, along with a carefully growing selection in a few Barolo crus, including their well-known monopole, Pira, in Castiglione Falletto. From Dolcetto d’Alba to their top Riservas, the wines are nothing short of formidable and an uncompromising representation of Piemontese wine.
Roagna
The Roagna family history in Barbaresco dates back over 100 years, and they have slowly added choice parcels in some of the top areas of Barbaresco and Barolo. Since joining the family in 2001, Luca Roagna has been crafting wines that represent traditional Piemontese winemaking with a particular modern flair that has captured the eye of wine lovers across the globe. Today, Roagna has two wineries: one based in Barolo near their vineyard of Pira, and the historic winery based in the commune of Barbaresco.
One particularity about Roagna is the focus on single-vineyard production that is typically broken up into several separate bottlings and harvested in multiple passes. Any fruit from vines younger than 25 years old is blended into the general Langhe Nebbiolo bottling—making it one of the great values in all of Piemonte, considering the fruit comes from vines planted in their most famous vineyard sites. The Barbaresco and Barolo normale wines come from vines aged 25 to 50 years, and the Vecchie Viti comes entirely from vines that are 50 or more years old. The estate’s top wine, Crichet Paje, is built from a few rows of old selection massale vines in the Paje vineyard that were previously saved by the family for special occasions.
The family is a huge proponent of old vines and their ability to add complexity to their bottlings. When asked about the end of a vine’s life, Luca says no one in the history of the Roagna family has ever ripped out vines because they were too old. Macerations at the winery last three months before extended aging in botti. For the normale wines, aging ranges from two to three years before release, and the Riservas can remain at the winery for 15 to 16 years.
