Drop

For Drop 26, we are heading to the hills of the Langhe — but not to one of the famous names or polished estates everyone already knows. This drop is about Alessandro Salvano, a winemaker who deliberately chooses his own path and lets the wine speak louder than the label.

BTB is celebrating its 25th Drop — and for that, we are opening the Schatzkiste. For our 25th Drop, I am genuinely proud to share two producers that mean a lot to me: Bernhard Huber and Les Jardins Vivants.

The idea behind it is simple. In each edition, I want to bring together one exciting talent from Burgundy and one outstanding German Pinot Noir producer — bottles with identity, energy, tension and real character. For this opening chapter, I went with Domaine Jülg and Maison Glandien. A combination that feels incredibly strong right from the start.

For Drop 23, I’m starting something new — and honestly, something I’ve wanted to do for a while: the very first chapter of the GOAT Series.

The idea behind it is simple. In each edition, I want to bring together one exciting talent from Burgundy and one outstanding German Pinot Noir producer — bottles with identity, energy, tension and real character. For this opening chapter, I went with Domaine Jülg and Maison Glandien. A combination that feels incredibly strong right from the start.

For Drop 22, I went for a combination I’m genuinely excited about: 2 bottles of Romain Henin’s Meunier Tu dors and 1 bottle of Maison Glandien’s Les Callioux 2024 — also the first Chardonnay from Tino Kuban this year.

Romain Henin is one of those growers who immediately caught my attention. There is something incredibly alive and exciting about the way he works, and I have to say: I am absolutely impressed by this Meunier. It has tension, energy, and so much character. Next to it, Tino Kuban’s Chardonnay brings freshness, precision, and the perfect counterpoint.

The Unusual Suspects brings together three winemakers who each approach Pinot from a completely different angle — and that is exactly why this lineup feels so strong. Tino Kuban opens the drop with La Leux 2024, a wine full of energy, edge, movement, and that slightly wild precision that makes his style so unmistakable. Then comes Louis Mathieu, one of Burgundy’s most exciting new names. His Fixin already shows real intent, serious finesse, and the kind of promise that makes you pay very close attention from the very first sip.

Guys… this is not your f* Nicki Beach rosé. This is rosé with backbone. Drop 20 brings together three bottles built around freshness, depth, and real character. First up: ORIGINE Line Rosé by Mr. Kuban, carrying all that Les Jardins Vivants energy — precise, tense, quietly powerful, with a reduction finish that stays with you. Then Maison Glandien’s L’Ouverture Rosé 2024, the perfect entry into Tino’s world: vibrant, textured, pure, and full of that calm confidence that makes you stop mid-sip and pay attention.
