Gatinois
The Gatinois family has cultivated vines in Aÿ since 1696. The village is 100% Grand Cru and is renowned for its powerful Pinot Noir, particularly from a local clone called Petit Pinot d’Aÿ, which has tiny berries and is thought to have naturally higher acidity than Burgundy clones. Gatinois Champagnes are traditionally produced, reward long-aging, and are distinctly aromatic and refined...not to mention exceptional values!

Champagne
Champagne boasts some of the world’s greatest luxury brands with Krug, Cristal and, of course, Dom Perignon. But it’s also home to hundreds of small dynamic producers—farmers who grow their own grapes (often organically) and make (often with natural methods) tiny amounts of pure and absolutely delicious wine that reflect the individual personalities of their villages and terroirs. Toast with these wines, for sure. But also treat them like the great wines they are: taste, drink, explore!
