“The Dupee Chardonnay was barrel fermented and matured for 10 months in 25% new French oak. It opens with youthful flinty character that gives way to alluring scents of white peach, brioche and meringue. The light-bodied palate features dynamic flavors of ripe citrus and saline, honey and nuts. Its satiny texture is structured by tense, linear acidity, and it has a long, mineral-driven finish. It will be long lived in the cellar.” 94 - Erin Brooks, The Wine Advocate.
“Aromatic and inviting nose of blanched almonds, lemons, caramel, herbs and hints of crushed stones. Medium-bodied with crisp acidity. A lively, succulent core of lemons brings energy to the center palate. Juicy and full of freshness, with a flavorful, mouthwatering finish. Persistent and quite compact. Drink or hold.” 94 - JamesSuckling.com
“Green melon and mint come together with pumice stones and hints of chamomile as the 2022 Chardonnay Dupee Vineyard blossoms in the glass. This is texturally thrilling, weighty yet energetic, with ripe orchard fruits perfectly offset by a striking core of tantalizing acidity. This leaves a caking of mineralogy that slowly crackles, fading to a lemony concentration that puckers the cheeks. The Chardonnay Dupee is a wine of contracts that keeps me coming back to the glass. 93 - Eric Guido, Vinous.

OUR STORY
FOUNDERS AND BACKGROUND
Founders Marco Prete and Cristina Fragni have spent a lifetime in close contact with the top European winemakers and cellar masters, and have spent decades on their shared passion for learning, tasting, and even assisting in the production of fine wines.
After relocating to NYC in 2013, they found that many of their favorite vintages were not available in the US. Inspired by a lack of available inventory on the usual channels, they decided that it was essential to them personally and professionally to create a bespoke, world-class collection of fine wines available for US import.
The Wines of Kings collection of exquisite wines reflects the founders’ obsession with premium wines that are made authentically.
