Vougeraie Clos du Prieure Monopole
$164.99
The Domaine de la Vougeraie was created at the dawn of the third millennium. It is a family-owned estate that is small in size yet big in presence, located between the Côte de Nuits and the Côte de Beaune. The Domaine de La Vougeraie story begins in the vineyard and continues in the cellar, and long after, in the pleasure of tasting. Working the soil, ensuring low yields, producing concentrated grapes that are, above all, handled with extreme gentleness from their birth to their metamorphosis, hand-crafted vinification and maturation for each plot – all of this helps ensure a style that is all about elegance and a definition of terroir that is ever-more precise.
Salem Evening Land Chardonnay
$53.99
Since 2014, Evening Land Vineyards has been under the aegis of Rajat Parr & Sashi Moorman, a vigneron tag-team loved for their work in California at Domaine de la Côte and Sandhi Wines. But Evening Land's story truly begins in 1980 when the MacDonald family planted the famed Seven Springs Vineyard in south-eastern Eola-Amity Hills, Willamette Valley. The MacDonald Family farmed and sold this magical fruit to the brightest names in Oregon winemaking for decades. It wasn’t until 2005 when Evening Land Vineyards was born that this esteemed vineyard became a monopole, so to speak. Evening Land leased the whole of this treasured vineyard from the MacDonald family outright that year and a star-studded team led by Dominique Lafon of Burgundy fame took the helm, transitioning leadership to Sashi Moorman and Rajat Parr in 2014.

Domaine Tissot was founded in 1962 by André Tissot and Mireille his wife, we are in Montigny-les-Arsures a neighboring commune in Arbois one of the most representative towns of the Jura and qualitatively one of the best areas.

Stéphane returning from important training experiences abroad immediately began to bring organic practices to the winery until complete conversion within a short time, this was the 1990s.

Tissot Arbois Rose Massale Chardonnay
$101.99
Domaine Andre et Mireille Tissot, begun in 1962, is in Montigny-les-Arsures, just a few kilometers from Arbois. Stéphane, their son, took over in 1990 and has slowly but surely established the Tissot name as an important one in the history of Jura wine. A tireless vigneron, Stéphane farms between 45 and 50 hectares biodynamically, travels to distant lands as a spokesperson for the Jura, makes numerous different cuvèes, and is intimately familiar with each of his terroirs. After taking over from his father, André, as the head of the family's estate, Stéphane quickly began leading it in a new direction, eliminating the use of selected yeasts and pushing the farming towards organic methods, a decision he made after meeting Nady Foucault of Clos Rougeard. The domaine received organic certification in 1999, and biodynamic certification 5 years later. Thanks to Stephane's tireless work, the Tissots are regarded as one of the most important producers of the Jura, and their belief of and focus on well-farmed, well-made wine has never wavered.
Giant Steps Yarra Chard
$39.99
Giant Steps was founded by wine industry pioneer Phil Sexton, who ventured from Margaret River to Yarra Valley to find the ideal site to cultivate Chardonnay and Pinot Noir of purity and finesse. Phil found his holy grail near Gruyere in the Sexton vineyard, which he planted in 1997 on the steep slopes of the Warramate Ranges. A mad jazz fan, Phil named the winery after John Coltrane’s album and fitting metaphor, “Giant Steps.” In 2003, Winemaker Steve Flamsteed came aboard, and the two set about producing a range of iconic Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays that express a profound sense of place from six finite sites in Yarra Valley.
La Spinetta Rose Di Casanova
$31.99
In the beginning of the 1960s, Giuseppe Rivetti, nicknamed ‘Pin’, and his wife, Lidia, were both expert and dedicated farmers with enormous appreciation and knowledge for tradition while keeping a curious interest in the future. They exemplified humility, respect, as well as ambition. These are the values that still define the philosophy of La Spinetta. In due course, their children, Carlo, Bruno, Giorgio, and Giovanna, took over the winery reins. They worked to implement the teachings of their parents and were taught to have great respect for the territory, for the indigenous vines and for the Piedmontese land. They now produce wines in Tuscany as well, with great results.
Marie Courtin Efflorescence Jeroboam
$634.99
A Kensington Wine Market exclusive! The champagnes from Marie-Courtin are truly something special. An ultra-fine, elegant style with amazing freshness. Delicate and racy, yet absolutely unique in style thanks in part to biodynamic viticulture. All her grapes are grown in a single plot of 2.5 hectares, which is also the total size of the domain that Dominique Moreau founded in 2000. Because all her wines come from a single vineyard, she has decided to emphasize the differences in champagnes through vinification. There are wines matured in barrique, amphorae, enamel tanks and one without sulfur. All come from the 2.5 hectares of single vineyard on the Kimmeridge marl soil of the Soden, on the Côte des Bar. Winemaker Dominique Moreau, who named the estate after her grandmother, is a master of purism.

Agrapart Blanc de Blanc Magum
$462.99
The Champagne house of Pascal Agrapart is located in the celebrated village of Avize in the heart of the Côte de Blancs. The estate previously known as Agrapart & Fils was established in 1894, yet unlike many of the smaller grower Champagne houses that have only begun to estate bottle under their own labels in recent decades, the Agrapart family have done so since the inception of the domaine. The winery was founded by Arthur Agrapart and is now run by the fifth generation of the family, Ambroise Agrapart, who joined his father Pascal in the 2018 vintage.
They farm 10 hectares of predominantly Chardonnay vineyards, the vast majority of which are Grand Cru in the heart of the Côte de Blancs (mostly in the villages of Avize, Oger, Cramant and Oiry). Additionally, a small percentage of Pinot Noir is planted north of Aÿ in Avenay-Val-d'Or, a well-known village in the days when Champagne produced still wines. Vines that were planted at the end of Pascal's father's career have now reached 40-50 years of age. With complex juices from these coveted Pinot terroirs, Ambroise has added a Côteaux Champenois Rouge and a Rosé Champagne to the range, both released in 2025. To ensure the highest possible quality, production has always been kept at an artisanal level, with quantities of no more than 5,400 cases produced in any given year. Vine age is among the oldest in the Côte de Blancs, with many of Agrapart’s vineyards in excess of seventy years of age, and the average overall age of the vines is a healthy forty years old. The estate has also farmed organically for years, but has never really publicized it. For Pascal, this was merely the right way to farm, not a marketing fad to promote the wines. From these fine, old Chardonnay vineyards, Agrapart produces some of the most refined and complex wines to be found in the region.
