Ole trip photo dump. Visiting Ole Imports producers throughout Spain and Portugal was an eye opening experience. These two countries are making world class wines. At times we noticed a kinship with other regions like Piemonte or Burgundy but looking deeper we heard them speak of their own place and culture. Thanks to the Ole team and all of the professionals who became friends over the last week

In March we are launching Philipponnat Champagne! This family run Champagne house was founded in 1522. The rich history is matched only by the quality of their wines. The Réserve Perpétuelle shows their house style perfectly. The blend benefits from the a high addition of reserve wines, from a solera, that was started in the 1930's. The wine is deep and long. We can't wait to launch the Clos des Goisse later in the year. Regarded as one of the greatest Champagnes, the walled vineyard occupies the steepest slope in Mareuil-sur-Ay on a terroir of pure chalk.
