In the springtime, in the springtime
And my heart and your heart are painted over in white wine…
                                                Jacques Brel

To our dearest customers,

Spring is here, bringing its energy and a sense
of renewal along with it. The sunlight, colours,
lightness and floral fragrances that we love are
back! It is indeed a joyous season that sparks an
urge to revel in the company of loved ones during a
social get-together or dinner party and to awaken
our taste buds with the wines of the season!

In this edition, we invite you to learn about the
revival of a Champagne house by a Burgundy
producer, tasting ideas steeped in springtime
flavours and fresh and delicious food and wine
pairing ideas. Meet the young owner of an Italian
vineyard who has taken over the running of a
historic estate in the Langhe region.

You can also enjoy our special prices on large
bottles and vintages that are ready to be relished
today.

Let our ideas inspire you to give your table and
your cellar a fresh start.

Revival of an estate
OLIVIER LEFLAIVE                                                                             VALENTIN LEFLAIVE

Valentin Leflaive is a young Champagne brand, but it is affiliated in two ways with the famous Burgundy institution, Olivier Leflaive. First, it bears the name of Olivier
Leflaive’s son and, second, it is an extension of Burgundian craftsmanship applied to champagne production. The shift towards the north to work in another fine Chardonnay
terroir, the Côte des Blancs, marks a subtle evolution in how champagne is understood and produced. Unlike Burgundy, where terroir is the major determining factor in
a wine’s reputation, Champagne is a region that emphasises brand identity. Thus, the Valentin Leflaive champagne house is daringly applying the plot-driven approach
that predominates in Burgundy to the fine terroirs of the champagne region in order to capture their quintessence in champagnes from named plots. This new endeavour
under the Leflaive name, is like a breath of fresh air for Champagne. The Valentin Leflaivre brand is one to watch and serves as a prism through which one can rediscover
the legendary region.
