How Pre-Arrival Works

We have sourced them from some of our clients' private cellars, our friends in Europe, direct from the domaine or through our other trusted networks. On each product you will note an estimated time of arrival. Understand that these are only estimates, and to ensure that your wine arrives safely it may be longer. Utilizing this method allows us to offer some amazing wines and gives you the opportunity to secure them earlier. Upon arrival at TWC you will receive a notification and we will ship the wines to you.

After marrying Julien Prelat and helping to grow his vineyard and name within Champagne, Karine inherited land from her family in Riceys, some small plots from which she has created three still wines that will serve as a counterbalance to Julien's own label. The thought is much the same - feel the Aube, and to feel the varietals, which in this case showcases the one blended wine from both labels, in addition to two still Pinot Noirs - one of which is the special Rosé des Riceys.

Be sure to check out Julien Prelat's bottlings as well!

In 2019, Karine inherited 2 plots of vines from her parents, from which wine had never been produced by the family. The oldest vines dating back to 1971, the grapes had been sold to a Maison previously, but the vineyards, though small, were immediately put to work by Karine.

In the vineyard, the vines are green-harvested, limiting the number of clusters to 5-7 per plant; only in the warmest, sunniest vintages will wine be made from these vineyards, which are cool and planted to hard, kimmeridgian soils. South-facing plots provide decent exposure and good ripeness in the warmer years.

The Rosé will undergo a light carbonic maceration with whole clusters, fully vinified in stainless for maximum freshness. The Coteaux Rouge, entirely Pinot Noir as well, will be de-stemmed and pressed into neutral oak barrels for fermentation. The Coteaux Blanc, which is equal parts Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc & Petit Meslier is fermented in stone eggs, which provide a natural suspension of the lees.
