You can find the other 3 Renaudin Champagnes aforementioned here in the Store…

This time it’s R. Renaudin’s luxury cuvée L’Espiègle and the 2013 vintage which Wine Spectator describes as a year “yielding many vibrant and balanced examples that are approachable but with good aging potential; Chardonnay excelled” …just like this one! The importer adds *“a slow drumbeat has arisen that acclaims 2013 as a sneaker great champagne vintage, rather like 2004 before it, and in a similar vein i.e. diamond-bright, scintillating wine of great aromatic appeal and perfect balance.”

And what says love in wine better than bubbles?

Finding vintage Grower Champagne is always a challenge. Finding one for OVER HALF OFF? One that struts like Krug or seduces like Vilmart? Today is the day we’ve accomplished the impossible. The implausible. The improbable. In a move straight from King Henry’s playbook, we’re bringing you FOUR incredible Champagnes today - one after another, until they’re no more.

Like many a love story, this discovery came down to fate.

Agent Noir and family were in San Francisco and happened to pop into a favorite local wine store. Inexplicably, he was drawn to this super traditional-looking bottle of grower Champagne he wasn’t familiar with. But he knew the importer well. So, the following day he reached out to ask about it…

But let’s rewind the tape. EXACTLY by 300 years to 1724 when a French count founded the House of Renaudin. Later in 1829, a Renaudin partnered with Renaudin-Bollinger which later became Bollinger! Fast-forward to today, Dominique Tellier-Renaudin and his family continue to bottle extraordinary Champagnes in the sleepy little hamlet of Moussy, in the heart of Vallée de la Marne.

With holdings bordering the Côte des Blancs, Blanc de Blancs is their specialty style. That means 100% Chardonnay, with extended tirage, and low to zero dosage. The result? Bubbles that are more wine than sparkling yet with electrifying acidity, and a rich, creamy mouthfeel… sensual wines that shock and comfort your palate at the same time.

Join us on a trip to the Côte des Blancs with four Champagnes today. We’ll roll out one after another. With so little imported to begin with, we could only get our hands on so much. Yet the prices are unreal, their vintage wines cost far less than most NV cuvées from the bigger names.

This too will go quick as it’s also at this throwback price, so claim yours fast. We have a few cases of the NV too once it’s gone!
