We just made a special purchase of the 2022 Lafage Novellum. This has been our best-selling French Chardonnay for years as our customers crave its delicious taste at a price that's hard to beat. This is a compelling purchase at $13.99, but it's an absolute no brainer at $9.99.

The 2022 Lafage Novellum is firing on all cylinders and continues a string of successful vintages. This has been a huge hit with our customers who crave its delicious taste at a price that's hard to beat.

Critics have continually sung the praises of this custom cuvee from well-known importer Eric Solomon. Robert Parker has written, "I've raved time and time again about the quality -and value - coming from Domaine Lafage's Jean-Marc Lafage." Noted critic Jeb Dunnuck has previously compared this cuvée to a high-end Chardonnay from Mark Aubert.

James Suckling gave this wine 91 Points and described it as being "aromatic" and "flavorful" with "lots of fruit in the medium to full-bodied palate." We completely agree!

The beauty of Novellum is it combines the perfectly-ripened fruit and richness you might find in a high-quality California Chardonnay with the brightness and minerality you expect in Burgundy. This combination makes it the perfect crossover wine which appeals to those who enjoy either California or French Chardonnay.

Domaine Lafage is on an amazing roll where everything they touch seems to turn to gold; they are producing absolutely gorgeous wines. Lafage first came upon our radar with Bastide Miraflors, Narassa and Cuvee Nicolas which have been huge hits. We emailed out the previous vintage of Novellum Chardonnay and our customers went nuts for it. We really enjoy this wine and feel it is an amazing value.

This is an excellent "Everyday Drinker" that you can open up during the week to enjoy with dinner or simply unwind with a glass on its own. Domaine Lafage's Novellum is a delicious wine, which would make a terrific case purchase.

This sale is valid for the month of June or as long as supplies last.

JAMES SUCKLING 91 POINTS - "Quite an aromatic chardonnay here, with discerning notes of sliced green apples, melon and lemon zest. Round and textured, with simple apple pith and nectarines in the pristine yet flavorful palate. Lots of fruit in the round, medium- to full-bodied palate."
