Between the allocations that rarely grace our website (sometimes by request of the producers) and the household grower Champagne names on our shelf, there is one producer who stands squarely in the middle. The quality and precision of Aurelien Suenen’s wines is comparable to big names that are highly allocated, the wines get better every year as Aurelien hones his skill and refines his style, and the wines are available! To be fair, the shipments that Suenen’s importer receives each year are tiny, but due to our longstanding support of his wines, we are usually able to offer them to the public and put some bottles on the shelf too! I have not tried the 2017 single vineyard wines from Suenen, but I have had both the C+C and the Oiry from the 2020 base, and they are the best Champagnes I’ve had so far this year. They have that level of excellence that reminds us of why we love Champagne, and to be completely honest, the joy that Aurelien’s wines brings (through elation and gustatory impressiveness) is worth the price.

Today's offer features the aforementioned Grand Cru Champagnes, C+C and Oiry, both from 2020 base, and the limited release single vineyard wines that Aurelien started producing in 2012 (with Les Robarts), all from 2017 vintage. We also have the unique Oenoteque wines available, offering a view of the domaine before Aurelien took over in 2009, and before the Grand Cru sites were bottled as single vineyards. I asked Aurelien about these wines as we have never sold them before and in fact only his US and South Korean importers received the wines, in tiny quantities.
