The glass matters more than you think.

If you’re pouring great champagne into the wrong glass, you’re missing much of what makes it special.

Developed in collaboration with legendary Champagne sommelier Philippe Jamesse—the former Head Sommelier at the two Michelin-starred Les Crayères in Reims—this is the glass used by many of Champagne’s leading Maisons and wine professionals.

Designed specifically for non-vintage champagne, its elegant shape reveals more aroma, more texture and a finer, more persistent stream of bubbles. The result? A tasting experience that’s remarkably closer to what you’d enjoy in Champagne.

Whether you’re opening your favourite bottle of Grower champagne or a prestige cuvée, this is the glass I recommend reaching for.

Available now through Vine & Bubble. Just $119 (Box of 6) + shipping.

Riper vintages, more expressive base wines. For most Champagne Houses, that's the dream. For Ruinart, a House built entirely on freshness and luminosity, it's a puzzle. We spoke with chef de caves Caroline Fiot about the "desynchronised ripeness" reshaping her Chardonnay, and how she's protecting the DNA of the House while everything shifts beneath her.

Ripening Chardonnay isn't really the problem at Ruinart anymore. Knowing the exact moment it's ready – that's the puzzle keeping chef de caves, Caroline Fiot, wondering at night. Tasting through the range with Ruinart's chef de caves, it's clear Ruinart is wrestling with its own identity in real t...

When Caroline Latrive became chef de cave at Champagne Deutz, she wasn't looking to change the style of this historic Aÿ House. Like any new cellar master taking over from a centuries-old legacy, she was charged with protecting it.

Latrive arrived at Deutz in 2021, working alongside her predecessor, Michel Davesne, for 14 months before taking full responsibility for the wines. Her first harvest was 2022 and it’s only now that her influence is beginning to show with the new release Deutz Brut Classic and Deutz Brut Rosé.

The wines are fresher and more precise. I have tasted Deutz regularly over the years and have always associated its champagnes with elegance and generosity, but also a fairly recognisable winemaking signature: creamy textures, roundness and more obvious autolytic characters.

Back in stock! Developed in collaboration with Philippe Jamesse, former Head Sommelier at the two Michelin-starred Les Crayères in Reims, the Maison Lehmann Jamesse Synergie 52 is designed for Champagnes and wines that benefit from greater space and aromatic development.

With a generous 520ml bowl, Synergie 52 takes the philosophy of the Jamesse collection a step further. Its broader proportions allow complex Champagnes to open and evolve in the glass, revealing greater aromatic detail, texture and vinosity.

It is particularly well suited to vintage champagne, prestige cuvées, mature champagne and gastronomic styles, where the wine itself — rather than simply its effervescence — is the focus.

FIRST TASTE: R.021 is the first Réflexion Demarville has overseen from grape to bottle, when he took over as cellar master, and 2021 wasn’t exactly an easy place to begin.

Lallier’s Réflexion is a multi-vintage and works from a different premise: what happens when, rather than blending away the character of a year, you deliberately allow it to show?

NEW PODCAST EPISODE 🎙️ The art of rarity with Maud Rabin, Director of Rare Champagne.

Rare Champagne, one of Champagne’s most distinctive and exclusive maisons.

The story of Rare begins in 1785, when a special cuvée wascreated for Marie Antoinette and the French royal court. That spirit of rarity and refinement continues to shape the maison today.

Produced only in exceptional vintages, Rare Champagne is unapologetically different. While it shares its historical roots with Piper-Heidsieck, Rare has forged an identity entirely its own, defined by an uncompromising vintage philosophy and a signature style that is immediately recognisable.

There’s remarkable freshness and longevity, but also layers of texture and a fascinating aromatic profile that can reveal exotic and tropical fruits alongside delicate florals, salinity and chalky minerality.

These are champagnes made not simply to impress on release, but to evolve beautifully over decades.

In her role, Maud takes the story of Rare Champagne around the world, sharing a philosophy built around patience, precision and, above all, the extraordinary.
