Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou Saint Julien Nebuchadnezzar 2020

Saint-Julien Grand Cru Classé
2020 Nebuchadnezzar – Limited Edition

To honor three centuries of viticultural excellence, Château Ducru-Beaucaillou has unveiled a rare, commemorative bottling: the 2020 Nebuchadnezzar (15L), a powerful expression of Saint-Julien’s storied terroir.

Only 30 bottles were produced globally—20 released for sale—each housed in a handcrafted oak case, constructed with staves from two 300-year-old trees in the famed Tronçais forest. The case, adorned with a black leather band and metal detailing, is as much a collector’s piece as the wine it protects.

The 2020 vintage represents a pinnacle for the estate—complex, structured, and profoundly elegant. Crafted from the estate’s finest plots, it embodies the mineral-rich beaux cailloux soils that define Ducru-Beaucaillou’s identity. This bottling also features a custom-designed label—the first redesign since 1870—a triptych illustration evoking the chateau’s rich lineage.

A tribute to both heritage and innovation, this Nebuchadnezzar is a statement of timeless luxury and enduring craftsmanship.  Est. $13,000-$16,000 USD.

Tenuta San Guido Extra Virgin Olive Oil

A Taste of Tuscany in Every Drop

Crafted on the sun-drenched hills of Bolgheri, San Guido Olive Oil is a pure expression of Tuscan terroir and tradition. Produced in limited quantities from hand-harvested olives grown on the historic Tenuta San Guido estate—also home to the legendary Sassicaia wine—this extra virgin olive oil is as exclusive as it is exquisite.

San Guido’s olive oil is cold-pressed within hours of harvest, preserving its vibrant character and nutritional integrity. The result is a beautifully balanced oil with aromas of green almond, fresh-cut grass, and artichoke, finishing with a peppery brightness that signifies high polyphenol content and superb quality.

Whether drizzled over grilled vegetables, paired with rustic bread, or used to finish a dish of handmade pasta, San Guido Olive Oil brings a touch of elegance and authenticity to your table.

Limited availability. Only 24-36 bottles imported per year.

Chartron et Trébuchet Bourgogne

Two people clinking champagne glasses against a scenic mountain backdrop.

The Renaissance of a Great Name on the Côte de Beaune

Chartron et Trébuchet is a name revered by wine lovers around the world—a legacy deeply rooted in the heart of Bourgogne. Since its founding in Puligny-Montrachet in 1984, this esteemed house has embodied the purity, elegance, and complexity of some of the region’s most prestigious terroirs.

A Heritage of Grand Crus and Golden Terroirs

From the crisp, mineral character of Chablis Grand Cru Bougros to the opulent richness of Corton-Charlemagne, each vintage is a tribute to the storied climats of Bourgogne. With legendary cuvées like Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru and the iconic Puligny-Montrachet, Chartron et Trébuchet’s wines are an invitation to experience the extraordinary.

The estate’s soul lies in the “Golden Triangle” of the Côte de Beaune—Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet, and Chassagne-Montrachet—where small parcels of noble vines produce white wines of unmatched precision and depth.

A Philosophy of No Compromise

Every step—from meticulous plot selection to gentle vinification and careful aging—is executed with uncompromising attention to detail. Grapes are harvested by hand at peak ripeness, vinified separately, and aged in French oak barrels sourced through close partnerships with expert coopers.

For the whites, ageing on lees for 10 to 18 months enhances texture and aromatic complexity. For the reds, 14 to 20 months of maturation bring harmony, freshness, and structure. The result: wines that are refined, expressive, and true to their origins.

A Legacy Reimagined

Today, under the stewardship of François Martenot, Chartron et Trébuchet continues to evolve while staying faithful to its founding vision. Oenologists Serge de Bucy and Baptiste Corrot lead the charge, crafting wines that balance modern technique with traditional savoir-faire, bringing new life to a historic name.  The global brand ambassador is Gabriele Gorelli MW, who is one of Italy’s most esteemed wine experts. Born and raised in Montalcino, Tuscany, Gabriele became the first Italian Master of Wine in February 2021.

Bellavista Curtefranca DOC

Vittorio Moretti, the visionary behind Bellavista, is a leading force in the revival of Italian fine wine, especially in the sparkling appellation of Franciacorta DOCG and the still wines of the Curtefranca DOC. While Bellavista is best known for its world-class sparkling wines, Vittorio Moretti’s dedication to still Chardonnay is aptly embodied in two of his most celebrated white wines: Uccellanda and Convento della Santissima Annunciata.

Brought to us by the team at Liber Selections, Uccellanda comes from a south-facing hillside vineyard in Nigoline di Corte Franca, where glacial soils of limestone and gravel produce Chardonnay with ripeness, freshness, and mineral tension; fermented and aged in small oak barrels, it delivers layered notes of orchard fruit, citrus blossom, hazelnut, and flint.

The Convento Chardonnay, grown on calcareous clay soils surrounding a 15th-century monastery in Rovato, is more introspective—creamy and complex, with evolving aromas of peach, brioche, and subtle herbs, reflecting its historic, contemplative origins. Both wines are crafted with precision and aged patiently, showcasing Bellavista’s refined approach to terroir-driven, world-class Italian Chardonnay. 

Ktima Gerovassiliou Malagousia

Perched on the gentle slopes of Epanomi overlooking the Aegean Sea, Ktima Gerovassiliou is one of Greece’s most iconic and forward-thinking wineries. Founded by Vangelis Gerovassiliou, a visionary oenologist and pioneer of modern Greek viticulture, the estate has become a benchmark for quality and innovation. With a winemaking philosophy rooted in respect for the land, indigenous varieties, and meticulous craftsmanship, Gerovassiliou has helped elevate Greek wine onto the global stage.

At the heart of the estate’s acclaim is its flagship Malagousia, a once nearly extinct grape that Vangelis helped rescue and reintroduce to the world. The wine is celebrated for its luminous aromatics—think jasmine, white peach, and citrus zest—alongside a refined palate that balances richness with vibrant acidity. Fermented in a combination of stainless steel and oak, it exemplifies the perfect harmony between modern technique and historical tradition, earning accolades from sommeliers and collectors alike.

Beyond its acclaimed wines, Gerovassiliou is home to a world-class Wine Museum, curated personally by the Gerovassiliou family. Housed within the winery, it features a rare collection of corkscrews, ancient amphorae, tools, and manuscripts that trace the story of wine from antiquity to the present. Visitors come not only to taste exceptional wines, but to immerse themselves in Greece’s viticultural heritage—making every visit to the estate a sensory and cultural journey.
