Sur Latte is term used in champagne production. It describes when bottles are stacked on their sides, which is the most space-efficient method of storing champagne in the cellar. This is the way that champagnes are stored during the second fermentation and aging in the bottle, before they are put into riddling racks to prepare them for disgorgement.

The counter to storage ‘sur latte’ is ‘sur pointe’

Domaine Hubert Lignier Gevrey-Chambertin 'Les Seuvrées' MAGNUM 2019
"Aromas of ripe plum, spice, damp earth and the sauvage are trimmed in admirably discreet wood. There is fine richness and volume to the sleek, intense and well-detailed middle weight flavors that are quite saline in character, all wrapped in a relatively powerful, palate coating and long if mildly rustic finish. This too is an impressive villages and recommended. ♥ Outstanding Top value"Allen Meadows, Burghound

Domaine Antoine Jobard Bourgogne Rouge 2023

Pinot Noir | Pommard, Burgundy

Ripe aromas of poached plum and newly turned earth lead to rich, generous and velvet-textured flavors that offer enough depth and persistence to be interesting in the context of its level.Allen Meadows, Burghound 86 PointsNote: from Pommard vines.

Roagna Barolo Pira 2017

Roagna Barolo Pira 2017

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Barolo

The 2017 Barolo Pira is a powerful, intensely savory wine. Dark cherry, herbs, leather incense and licorice all add to an impression. The Pira Barolo is one of the most reticent wines in this entire collection. It is hard to read today, despite its obvious weight and character.Antonio Galloni, Vinous 93 Points

Domaine William Fèvre Chablis Premier Cru 'Les Lys' 2020
The 2020 Chablis 1er Cru Les Lys is also especially good this year, delivering aromas of white flowers, citrus oil, freshly baked bread and bee pollen. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive, with a fleshy core of fruit and racy girdling acids, this cool, marl-rich site has evidently excelled in 2020.William Kelley 93+ points – The Wine Advocate
