[Château d'Yquem] Champagne Royalty Now In Stock With increased global demand and distribution shortages, it's been increasingly difficult to keep the big names in Champagne in stock, making today's offer on the most transcendent examples of the region's top producers that much more compelling. Leading the way is Krug's inspired 169ème Édition, which highlights once again why their yearly releases are not to be missed. The same can be said for Dom Pérignon, who has gone from blue chip to cult collectible in the past decade. Collectors on the hunt for Cristal will find three beguiling bottlings on our shelves in very limited quantities.

The Heart of Napa Cabernet Coming from some of the names that have shaped the conversation around collectible Napa wines for the past decade, it's also extremely exciting to see these wines among the best-ever from the respective properties. BV's Georges de Latour is an absolute classic in 2018, and one of our last allocations just landed. Dominus' 2018 takes things to another level entirely, with a 100-point score and Wine Spectator's Wine of the Year acclaim. Add in top expressions from Peter Michael, TOR, Opus One, and Screaming Eagle, and the wines that make Napa so celebrated are all just a few clicks away.

Our assortment of Rare Armagnac Collection and Chateau de la Grangerie are now in stock, and they are the kind of groundbreaking and market-defying examples that are too good to miss. With age statements ranging from 30 to 52 years old, these are also hand-crafted bottlings made by some of the region's all-time luminaries. While all the fanfare goes to Bourbon and Scotch, collectors of all stripes should make these a priority while they last, as few examples exist on the market that can match this kind of age and quality for the price.

As a result, our allocations quickly disappear anytime we confirm a new parcel. This predicament is only compounded in banner vintages like 2020, a growing season that gave way to a raft of viscerally thrilling wines crafted from painfully depressed yields. Available now, but not for long, are some of the top wines of the vintage. As evidenced below, this set is nothing short of a highlight reel from Burgundy’s best. Very rarely will you find labels like Lamarche, Dugat-Py, Boillot, and Bouchard in the same place, let alone when they’re attached to the region’s top Grand Crus.
