Legendary Location, Unique Producer Champagne has its Grandes Marques—formidable brands that turn myriad growers’ grapes into the world’s best-known bubblies—and, until a tragedy on April 27th, it had men like François Secondé. Before his sudden passing, the one-of-a-kind Secondé had farmed in the village of Sillery since the age of 14. He proudly continued a…
A hundred years ago, snow fell on Mt. Hakkusan. The following spring, it melted, seeping into the ground. Over the last century, it’s slowly worked its way down through layer after layer of rock, which filter out impurities and add their own minerals. It eventually ended up in the well of Fukumitsuya brewery in Ishikawa…
We were promised perfection. Sitting down at the lavish oak table in Maison Ginestet, we couldn’t help but be excited—even without knowing what was coming. The venerable house is one of the premier powerbrokers in Bordeaux and has become a must-stop at the beginning of every trip to France. So when they set down a…
Sake’s Purest Expression, Crafted in an Igloo Our Saké expert,Certified Saké Professional and Judge in the U.S. and Japan and former global beverage director for Morimoto Group, Eduardo Dingler has selected this magical Saké. Saké enthusiast and Vinous reviewer Stephen Tanzer rated the Ginga Shizuku “Divine Droplets” a glowing 94 points. This Junmai Daiginjo —…
When you’re lucky enough to have a seat at SF’s Birdsong, you pay attention. To everything. We first dined at the two-Michelin-star destination late last year, as we collaborated with their wine team for our Michelin club. It’s a place where no detail is overlooked, and the team’s commitment to quality and the dining experience…
On a warm spring evening in 2018, we settled in at a bar in Shinjuku, Tokyo’s bustling entertainment district. We saw a beautiful, unfamiliar label behind the bar, so we asked for a taste—and we were greeted with one of the most elegantly complex daiginjo sakes we had tried in years! The flavors came in…
Two years ago, we spent more than ten months in hot pursuit of the award-winning HEAVENSAKE Junmai Daiginjo. When we finally offered it to our members, it became our single bestselling sake of all time. We’re now thrilled to offer that legend’s excellent stablemate, the HEAVENSAKE Junmai 12 Hyogo. A collaboration between Maison Rare Champagne…
We’ve been privileged to offer some of Japan’s finest sake through the years, but there’s a tier that we’ve never had the chance to bring to Wine Access members. These are bottles as prized as any Grand Cru Burgundy—and since production is often even smaller and demand within Japan is fierce, they’re all but impossible…
Caviar. Potato Chips. A party. We were going to get deep into the details of how we discovered this excellent bubbly, but we scrapped them because all they do is distract from this one fact: The Imaginarium Blanc de Blancs is dollar-for-dollar one of the best deals in French sparkling wine. Crafted in the Champagne…
When it comes to the Imayo Tsukasa Black sake—a crystalline expression of Japan’s finest terroir—superlatives are the only way to describe it. This is a gorgeous, modern sake that will change how you think about the category, whether you enjoy it from a wide-bowled Burgundy stem or a traditional clay ochoko. A favorite in…
Richard Geoffroy’s sakes have held high honors from the beginning: His Assemblage 5 being poured by the glass at Thomas Keller’s three-Michelin-star The French Laundry. Many other Michelin-starred restaurants across the globe feature it as well. But today’s Assemblage Reserves goes beyond. Richard served for nearly three decades as Dom Pérignon’s chef de cave—the guy…
We got our first shot at J.M. Labruyère’s exquisite Prologue Grand Cru Brut Champagne back in fall of 2019. BOOM—it was gone. Our second chance came in mid-2020, then another in late ‘21. Same results. For a Champagne not bearing a household name like Billecart-Salmon, it’s been a stunningly fast series of sell-outs—each one faster…
The Grower Champagne Master Sommeliers Love Julien Launois’s roots in Mesnil-sur-Oger are deep, just like the vines. For decades his father tended vines with meticulous care in this region, one of only 17 Grand Cru villages in Champagne, home to Blanc de Blancs legends like Salon and Krug’s Clos du Mesnil. As with many farmers,…
No, we’re not talking about Elizabeth. 200-year-old Joseph Perrier was the favorite Champagne house of English royalty before her highness was even born. The Cuvée Royale dazzled the palates of Queen Victoria and King Edward VII, and it lifted us out of our seats with an energy matched only by its finely beaded elegance. We…
Immaculate Grand Cru Saké from the Pure Snows of Niigata Eduardo Dingler—our saké expert,certified saké professional, longtime judge, and former global beverage director for Morimoto Group—has come through with another massive hit for Wine Access saké lovers. Takeda, the brewery that produced this Katafune Junmai Genshu has achieved global acclaim, winning gold at the International…
We’ve offered some incredible Champagnes over the years. But never before have we cracked the vault on this king’s bounty: Krug’s regal Grande Cuvée, a legend from the house many consider the greatest in Champagne. We’ve tasted previous iterations of this wine before on a few special occasions—a 2010 New Year’s Eve dinner at Daniel,…
This is the sake that altered the course of our sake expert Eduardo Dingler’s career, and it has the power to change the wine-to-sake ratio in any cellar. From the Japanese equivalent of Burgundy, the Kumaya Shuzo AN Tokubetsu is a singular bottle reminiscent of a rich Meursault, revealing layer upon layer of mandarin and…
The word “Champagne” refers to much more than a region and style. It represents a stringent set of winemaking standards that dictates yields, pressing, aging—factors that all go into Champagne’s typically daunting price. Makers of Crémant, the more affordable Champagne-style sparkling wine made elsewhere in France, are permitted to cut some corners. But Langlois’ Rosé…
When a revered Champagne house like Bollinger heads to the Loire Valley to produce a sparkling wine to their own lofty standards—but that doesn’t bear Champagne’s hefty price tag—the result is a gem like Langlois-Chateau’s Crémant de Loire Brut. This is one of our most popular wines: In the decade since our first offer, it…
Leclerc-Briant’s Divine Solera is a stunning Champagne, made primarily from the 2007 vintage and blended to a gorgeous, spicy, and rich style with blends from 2004, 2005, and 2006. The palate shows rich layers of baked puff pastry, brioche, and beeswax, which support aromas of apricot, crushed raspberry, and spiced plum. It’s poised to stand…
