The best of the best, Chateau D'Yquem stands alone as the grandest and greatest of the wines of Sauternes.

The palate is very tightly wound, vibrant and refreshing with layer upon layer of minerals and spices, finishing with epic poise and persistence.
Chateau De Ribebon 2015 Cabernet Franc, Bordeaux Superieur
On Bordeaux’s Right Bank, overlooking the Dordogne River and the village of Pessac-sur-Dordogne, the clay-limestone soils of the Ribebon hamlet plateau form the basis of Château de Ribebon Cabernet France Bordeaux Supérieur. It begins with inviting aromas of cherries and red fruits, along with violet, spices tobacco, and earthy nuances all taking shape. The bottle is medium-bodied and beautifully textured with a round, silky mouthfeel, which leads into the long finish.
Corton-Charlemagne, Grand Cru 2015 Louis Latour
The vineyard of Corton-Charlemagne is situated in the prime area of the hillside of Corton where its southeasterly aspect ensures maximum exposure to the sun. So perfumed with exotic, tropical-fruit aromas that draw you into the glass. Full-bodied, layered, and textured with soft creamy tannins and light stone and walnut undertones.
Cristal Champagne 2008 Louis Roederer
The icon that is Cristal is a bottle truly fit for a king...or a Tsar to be exact. The origins of this famous sparkling wonder started in 1876 when Tsar Alexander II asked Champagne Louis Roederer to essentially "up their game" and make something fitting of his stature. They proceeded to create a wine so luxurious and of such high quality that its reputation still precedes itself nearly a century and a half later. The 2009 vintage is no different with nearly unanimous 95+ point critical applause. Its great depth and richness, along with a beautiful balance of ripe fruit and crisp texture, are something to truly behold and treasure.
