Valbuena 5th year - Vintage 2005

|  Comments
There is undoubtedly no winery in Spain that combines the words quality, history and exclusivity better than Vega Sicilia. Don Eloy Lecanda in 1864 could little have imagined that almost a hundred and fifty years later, the wines of the bodega he founded would have become some of the most outstanding iconic reference points of the international...

A delightful winery located to the north of Montpellier which began its activity in 1999 and lies within the Coteaux de Languedoc appellation, presenting a style that closely refers to the indigenous reds of Southern France, with modern notes setting out norms in elegance that are rarely found in this area.

Krug Grand Cuvée

|  Comments
Original Champagne from the luxury Maison Krug belonging to the LVMH Group. This non millesime or non-vintage cuvée is a puzzling compilation of 120 different wines from ten distinct vintages. This lovely amalgam succeeds in creating a unique and peerless product that manages to remain faithful to the canons of the house year after year, not...
