Charles Heidsieck Blanc de Blancs
Alison Napjus, Wine Spectator, August 2025
“Hints of vanilla, brioche and spun honey enrich flavors of baked white peach and persimmon, lemon curd, and anise in this plush Champagne, honed by vibrant acidity. Mouthwatering and long, with notes of grilled macadamia nut and fragrant spices on the finish. Disgorged 2023. Drink now through 2030. 235 cases imported.”

2018 Charles Heidsieck Brut Millésimé
Tom Hewson, Decanter, September 2025
“Charles Heidsieck's 2018 is an unusual assemblage which successfully finds some focus and energy in this generous, sometimes slightly diffuse ripe vintage. Alongside plenty of juicy stone fruit Pinot Noir and sweet, sunny tangerine there's an appealing snap of bittersweet grapefruit Chardonnay, a large part of which unusually hails from sandy Trigny just north of Reims. The stylish toasty nougat richness, set against the clean-cut precision and easy approachability of the house, is certainly on show, and both 2018s present fine mid-term drinking.”

2021 Donnafugata Sul Vulcano Etna Rosso
Danielle Callegari, Wine Enthusiast, September 2025
“Notes of crunchy, tart red berries, hibiscus, blood orange and salty crushed rocks all set up a wonderfully fresh and immediate wine, but then more sophisticated umami flavors underneath and fierce acidity suggest patience will be rewarded if you give this a little more time in the bottle.”

Danielle Callegari, Wine Enthusiast, September 2025
“Salt air, a squeeze of lemon, blooming white flowers and the hot plastic of beach chairs on the nose bring you to the beach before crushed herbs, rocks and earth on the palate lead you up the mountain for a sip straight out of Etna.”

Danielle Callegari, Wine Enthusiast, September 2025
“The Mille e una Notte marriage of Syrah and Nero d'Avola feels like a fairy tale romance—brooding and intense at first, then exuberant and exciting, with a warm, comforting finish. A story that gets better every time I read it.”
