Founders Helen Turley and John Wetlaufer produce some of the world’s most highly rated and complex Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs. Marcassin is their own Russian River Valley haven.

Château Léoville-Poyferré was part of a large estate divided up after the French Revolution. Today the estate is owned by Didier Cuvelier and his family. The quality of the wines has soared with modernization of the cellars and other improvements.

Perrier-Jouet, in the heart of Champagne, was founded in 1811 by Pierre-Nicolas-Marie Perrier-Jouet. One of Perrier-Jouet’s distinctive features is its Art Nouveau-influenced label, which is still used for the estate’s most prestigious cuvées.
