Immerse yourself in the elegance and complexity of the Roger Belland Volnay Santenots 1er Cru 2021. This exquisite Burgundy hails from eastern France, refined meticulously using traditional vinification methods. It carries the elegance of the Volnay appellation and the depth and power attributed to the Santenots vineyard's clay-rich soils.

Under the expertise of Roger Belland, a fifth-generation winemaker, the wine exhibits a rich, full-bodied profile. With an eye for sustainable practices, Belland's wines are farmed organically, honouring the vineyard's unique terroir and microclimate. The wine underwent fermentation in open stainless-steel vats, with ageing on fine lees in French oak barrels, thus amplifying its robust character and nuanced flavours.

The opus of Roger Belland is embodied in the Volnay Santenots 1er Cru 2021 - a harmonious symphony of ripened red fruit accented by spicy undertones and earthy notes. Sipping this wine promises an exquisite journey into the heart of Burgundy.

Apple skins and membrillo. Rain-bruised orange blossom and iced cardamom. On the palate, it's a dragonfly, like catching light and shadows. A tiny note of something sweet, almost nougat, that disappears without a trace in a second. Lemon-drizzle cake and then the bitter fragrant bite of grapefruit peel. And then, the wake of this constantly moving wine is chalk, soaked in rain and soaked in lemon and packed in white pepper and trace-etched with slightly green tobacco leaves. Like all these Coulon wines, almost impossible to pin down with words. Defiant and glorious.

Another deep, sonorous nose. Edgy, but not for the sake of edgy. The depth to these Coulon wines is remarkable. Yes, it's toast and layers and fruit and spice and minerals in abundance, but the flavours are almost secondary to the anima of the wine. This is a wine that slams into your whole body; one sip; feel the reverberations. These wines are all about the energy, the resonance, the sheer life force of life. Like copper wires pulsing with electricity. Like a cello solo in the Carnegie Hall. You feel it more than you drink it.

Radiating aristocratic sophistication, the Roger Coulon Premier Cru Heri-Hodie Vrigny Extra Brut NV is a testament to eight generations of masterful vineyard cultivation. Located in Vrigny, in the heart of Champagne's prestigious Montagne de Reims, Roger Coulon meticulously maintains his vineyards, ensuring each grape's perfect ripening. This Premier Cru Extra Brut, a carefully selected blend of Pinot Meunier, Pinot Noir, and Chardonnay, delivers a sensational spectrum of flavours.

Hand-harvested and aged for a minimum of six years in oak barrels, the Roger Coulon Premier Cru Heri-Hodie Vrigny Extra Brut NV oscillates between refined elegance and invigorating vigour. Its delicate perlage reveals layers of crisp orchard fruits, subtle nutty undertones, and a vibrant lick of citrus. With its distinct minerality and extraordinarily long finish, this stimulating champagne is more than a celebratory fizz, it's a true connoisseur's elixir.

The brilliant 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Prestige (60% Grenache, 15% Syrah, 10% Mourvedre, and the balance almost every other authorized red grape of the appellation) is produced from parcels that average 90 years of age or older. It reveals the essence of Provence in its dense plum/purple color and powerful aromatics of sweet creme de cassis, black cherries, licorice, lavender, pepper, and incense. The wine possesses terrific depth, a blockbuster, opulent, multilayered texture, and a finish that lasts nearly 50 seconds. This sensational Chateauneuf du Pape should drink well for 15-20 years.

The same blend as the 2016, the 2017 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Prestige is another inky colored wine from this estate that has an elegant, mineral-laced, balanced profile that’s very much in the style of the 2017 vintage. Blackberries, raspberries, crushed rocks, ground pepper, and violet notes all give way to a full-bodied 2017 that has terrific purity, no hard edges, building tannin, and a great finish. It's going to hit the ground running and cruise in good cellars for two decades. It has slightly more freshness and minerality than the Reserve cuvée.

Wine Advocate (94-96)

There's a purity of fruit to this wine that's remarkable, year after year. The 2018 Chateauneuf du Pape Prestige showcases cherries and blueberries, backed by subtle power and gentle structure. Full-bodied, creamy and lush yet bright, intense and long on the finish, it's a terrific effort.

The 2020 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Prestige is a terrific success. Dazzling aromas of ripe raspberry, red and black cherry, blueberry, black plum, dried thyme, bay leaves, licorice, cured meat and a pinch of white pepper waft from the glass. Full-bodied, concentrated and enveloped in velvety tannins, it is well-balanced by lively acidity, ending with a bold finish.

Wine Advocate (94-96)

The full-bodied 2022 Chateauneuf du Pape Prestige boasts fascinating aromas of garrigue and black raspberries. Despite its considerable heft, the wine is balanced, silky and plush, with a long, lingering finish. Sexy stuff.
