For the dad who appreciates genuine connoisseurship, Le Sous Bois by Billecart-Salmon is a standout Champagne defined by patience, craftsmanship and complexity. Produced by the revered family-owned house in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, this cuvée distinguishes itself through full oak-barrel vinification—a rarity in a region more commonly associated with stainless-steel aging. An equal-parts blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Meunier, Le Sous Bois spends six to seven years aging on the lees, developing remarkable depth and texture. The result is a Champagne layered with creamy, toasty character alongside notes of grilled brioche, hazelnut, fresh citrus and white fruit.

Comparable in character to the acclaimed 2004 release, the 2022 invites drinkers to savor both the craftsmanship and the story behind the bottle. As Chateau Montelena continues building on its legendary legacy—including its iconic 1976 Judgment of Paris victory—this Estate Cabernet stands as another compelling chapter in the winery’s history. It’s a collector-worthy gift for the father figure who values heritage, terroir and exceptional Napa Valley winemaking.

The collection debuted earlier this year at the Kosher Food & Wine Experience, hosted by Royal Wine Corporation, the largest producer and distributor of kosher wines and spirits. Produced in France’s Aube region, Thomas’s Cheurlin champagnes—both kosher and non-kosher—are made without added sugar and use only the first press of estate-grown Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Blanc grapes. This two-cuvée kosher collection marks a major milestone for the category, firmly positioning kosher champagne within the ultra-premium global wine conversation. Since 1788, the Cheurlin family has upheld a legacy of cultivating some of the most exceptional grapes in Champagne. Thomas, alongside the Cheurlin family, continues that tradition, guided by a commitment to honoring terroir, preserving heritage and embracing sustainable agricultural practices.
