Harlan Estate and Other StunnersFor nearly two decades, Harlan Estate has been committed to creating a California "First Growth" wine estate.
Set in the western hills of Oakville rising above the fabled Napa Valley benchlands, the estate is over 240 acres of natural splendor - oak-studded knolls and valleys, roughly fifteen percent of which are under vine, planted to the classic varietals of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. But more than that, it is a family homestead, a place of great inspiration, carved from the raw land, built for generations.
The wines made by Harlan Estate are built to last for generations. Usually the Duke has no shortage of superlatives, but what do you say when you are faced with not one, but two incredible wines rated 100 points by Robert Parker? Throw in several other stunners like Colgin, Insignia, Grace Family, Bond, Amuse Bouche and Petrus and you really begin to get into the Holiday Spirit!

Grand Siècle Gift SetIn the 17th Century, during the reign of Louis XIV, France enjoyed its most illustrious era. Louis XIV became known as the "Sun King" for his benevolence and his patronage of the Arts, which became the foundation of France's rich artistic heritage. At the Palace of Versailles, Louis XIV was the first French King to drink Champagne. His era became known as the Grand Siècle - the "Great Century". Grand Siècle is the epitome of Champagne cuvées, as it blends complementary wines from Laurent-Perrier's very best growths and most successful vintage years.
It is made with a Pinot Noir and Chardonnay blend, with the latter being slightly dominant. Twelve of the most prestigious villages supply these grapes, all of them classified at 100% Grands Crus such as Ambonnay, Verzenay, Mailly, Avize, Cramant, Chouilly and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. The wine itself has a truly lustrous gold color with a most delicate bead. Honeyed, nutty aromas with hints of almonds and freshly baked brioche rise with the bubbles. The flavors are round and rich, very forward, yet the wine continues to open for quite some time in the glass.
This regal Champagne comes in an appropriately elegant package, as pictured, complete with icer and glasses. The Duke is happy to bring this sensational and impressive gift package to you for $199.99 each SORRY - SOLD OUT. Very limited - less than 100 sets for the entire state of California!
