A perfect example of Bouzy flavor and texture, Paillard creates this cuvée with a range of their small single vineyards, showing off the true class of their home village. Les Parcelles is 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay from clay and chalky soils, matching the freshness with depth and texture. After fermentation in barrel, Parcelles spends 4 years on the lees prior to disgorgement. All told, the time on the lees only adds a creamy touch to the already soft feel of Bouzy Pinot, and the chalk brovides a brilliant saline touch to elevate this wine to another ethereal level.

The Paillard family has been making some of the most transparent, terroir-driven wines in Montagne de Reims for over 200 years. Brothers Antoine and Quentin took full control of the Domaine in 2012 and have committed fully to organic farming and biodynamic treatments. Their Pinot Noir-dominated vines are surrounded by flora and fauna and the vinification is very hands-off.

Pierre Paillard

Two brothers, Antoine and Quentin Paillard run what is now an 8th generation Champagne house in the village of Bouzy, smack dab in the middle of Champagne's Pinot Noir heaven. Since they took over together in 2016, the duo has done nothing but intensify the focus in the vineyard, generating incredible results in the fruit quality through lowering yields and aiming for perfect ripeness. 

One of - if not the - greatest villages for Pinot Noir in Champagne, Bouzy is home to a deep chalky bedrock with varied types of clay that support great texture and depth in the grapes. In addition to crafting tremendously complex and flavorful Champagnes from their terroir, the Paillard brothers will continue to honor the family tradition and craft a Coteaux Champenois Rouge, which is one of the great examples of the region's potential for still wines.

Each plot of the domaine is harvested and vinified separately, a slow fermentation within oak barrels. These are points of emphasis as the brothers feel that a slower fermentation allows for greater flavor and texture development, and the process is allowed to proceed naturally through full malo-lactic conversion. All wines will age on the lees in bottle for at least an additional 3 years with up to 10 for the Grande Recolte; Parcelles and Terres Rosé will go through secondary fermentation under crown cap while the other wines will do so under cork. 

"I used to buy these wines for a song back in the day and the prices have gone up a touch but considering the primo Grand Cru fruit quality, I think they're a steal! The sleeper in the lineup is certainly "Les Terres Roses XVIII, Extra Brut Rosé, Bouzy Grand Cru", which has 5% Coteaux in the mix... resulting in a haunting, herbaceous and sappy persistence on the palate. One night we had the Rosé next to Prevost's Fac-Simile and '08 Dom Rosé and it held its own!" - John Cerasulo

Utter magic with a kiss of residual sugar...all of 7.5% alcohol and dare I say, THE perfect summer wine!"

Julian Haart, that is - the prodigious German winemaker who somehow already has a decade of vintages under his belt after working beneath two behemoths: the living legends Egon Müller and Klaus-Peter Keller.

Julian Haart

Training in any profession is important. Just like we sommeliers and former hospitality pros were poked and prodded for "star hunting", or shipping around to different Michelin-starred restaurants in lieu of a longstanding career at one of them, the future rockstars of the wine world seem determined to seek out differing beliefs and methods to learn from while they hone their own eventual vinous vision. So it is that Julian Haart spent time with two luminaries of Germany in Egon Müller and KP Keller - producers of many of the most sought-after (and pricy!) wines in the world!

Julian's first vineyard purchase was in the Grand Cru Ohligsberg; he followed this with the purchase of a parcel in the 75+ year-old, terraced Goldtröpfchen ("droplets of gold"); Schubertslay, home to century-old, ungrafted vines came a year later, a whole one hectare of vines (that's like a midwesterner's front yard). In 2018, Haart graciously gifted Schubertslay to Klaus Peter Keller in return for access to Keller's Frauenberg vineyard. 

"Julian's red label bottlings are playful, fresh and graciously showcase the talents of this young winemaker," Doug continued. "Although these cuvees are not a part of the Prädikat system, they still represent the region beautifully."

Le Prieure Rouge is sourced from the estate vineyard near the heart of the Hautes Cotes; Pinot Noir from this area takes on an ethereal, high-pitched aromatic tone, a welcome departure from the sometimes brooding power of wines from lower parts of the Burgundian slopes. The texture is soft and full of bright red fruits, floral and delicate earthy hints.

From 40-year-old (on average) vines, planted on three separate estate parcels, 450 to 1,050 feet above sea level facing north/northwest. Soils include red clay, limestone, and spungone, a calcareous sandstone abundant in chalky marine fossils. The wine is hand-picked, destemmed, and fermented on native yeast in stainless steel tanks, open-top wooden fermentation tanks, and tonneaux. Aged in 3.5 hl Slavonian oak ‘botti’.

This wine is elegant and wild at the same time. Fresh fruit characteristics of red cherry, blueberry, and cassis intermingle with complex flavors of sweet bread, clove, cinnamon, charred earth, garrigue, and musk. Pradappio has medium-plus, silky but profound tannins, bright acid, and an elegant texture on the palate. Marvelously concentrated, bold, yet elegant.

As one of the forces behind the wines that Thatcher's brings you, Courtney gets to drink "A lot of wines that are affordable daily drinkers, and they are lovely. But I look for emotion in wine. Chiara Condello's Sangiovese's does just that." "It can bring similar emotion and pleasure as some of the top bottles I drink," Courtney admits. "It is incredible to drink a wine that retails at $22, (cheaper than a smoothie in Brentwood) and finding yourself wanting to open the same bottle a few days later.

Chiara Condello

In between the Apennine mountains and the Adriatic Sea, Romagna has been getting a new reputation, thanks to Chiara. The news is spreading quickly, and her wines are moving in and out of some of the top restaurants and retail shops, globally. In the foothills of the Apennine mountains, Chiara farms 10ha of Sangiovese organically. 2015 was her first vintage after working with her father for years at the family Domaine. Predappio’s unique soils are rich in marine fossils, giving Sangiovese grown here a luminous, suave and spiced character, coupled with the smaller berries with thicker skin, traditional to the region. Grapes are hand-harvested with some cuvees being de-stemmed and others not. Fermentation is in stainless steel tanks and open-top wood fermenters or larger tonneaux. The wines are aged in botti.

The Predappio is a blend of three different parcels of the estate all between 450 and 1,050 feet above sea level with an average age of 40 years. The soils vary from red clay and limestone to the local spungone. Predappio is destemmed, fermented on indigenous yeasts in temperature-controlled, stainless steel tanks, as well as upright, open-top wooden fermentation tanks and tonneaux. Aged for 12 months in used, 3.5HL Slavonian oak botti.

Le Lucciole is Chiara's Riserva. It's 100% Sangiovese sourced from a parcel of 0.8 hectares planted at a density of 5,500 vines at about 750m elevation. Planted on the local spungone soils. The wine is partially destemmed and fermented in open-top wooden tanks and tonneaux. The wine is aged for 2 years in botti and a year in the bottle.
