TUESDAY TOAST: 9/8/26

Rémi Leroy is deep in the Aube region of Champagne where renegade wine makers must carve out their own style! He is an obsessive producer with one insanely impressive background! This cuvee represents one of his most complex and breathtaking expressions!

Come get a glass and lets the celebrations begin!

///

So you know, we are totally obsessed with Champagne! We have a “Completely Irresponsible” and award-winning Champagne list plus our owner John Grisanti is the only CHAMPAGNE MASTER (French Wine Scholar Guild) in Kentucky.

Now we are taking that obsession to new absurdities in our program by launching “TUESDAY TOASTS”

So we will be picking a different cuvee of Champagne from our favorite producers to pour by the glass every Tuesday!

You heard us right! CHAMPAGNE BY THE GLASS – EVERY TUESDAY!

It is going to be an incredible way to try an ever-evolving selection of terroir expressions and house styles. Trust us when we say there won’t be any duds in these picks and we are bound to pull some pretty silly out right bangers along the way!

Join us on Tuesdays to see what is bubbling at Nouvelle!

***PRODUCER VISIT***

Boekenhoutskloof – South Africa: Tuesday – September 29th @ 5pm

We are super pumped to welcome our dear friend, Lynton Kaiser from the historic South African winery – Boekenhoutskloof in the iconic Franschhoek Valley.

We are letting Lynton Kaiser take over the bar for an evening to pour an insane collection of their incredible wines from the Franschhoek Valley and Hemel En Aarde regions. It is sure to be a LEKKER good time!

We will have a truly wild one of kind lineup, that will give guests a unique ability to taste side by side / back vintages through three distinct flights. Trust us when we say, this is a very rare and special opportunity to explore not just an iconic producer but the effects of age on wine and vintage variations.

FLIGHT #1
Cap Maritime - Chardonnay (17, 18, 19)

FLIGHT #2
Cap Maritime – Pinot Noir (17, 18, 19)

FLIGHT #3
Franschhoek – Syrah (13, 16, 20)

BY THE GLASS
Semillon (22)

John Grisanti had the incredible privilege to visit this winery in the fall of 2025, where he fell in love with not just the gorgeous estate, but also the elegant wines and most of all of the people behind the juice. Lynton Kaiser was so generous that the following day he took John out in Cape Town for an epic afternoon of deep diving through the new wine culture shaping South Africa. His passion had a profound impact on John and is the key inspiration in the menu development at Mill Iron 4 where John is consulting on the wine program that emphasizes Southern Hemisphere grilling cultures.

Come hang with us for one night only. Lynton Kaiser loves to party and as a bonus if you scratch his belly he roars like a Leopard on Safari. Try it out and let him transport you straight to the bush!

Also check out our amazing wine dinner the night before Mill Iron 4 (link via their profile). We are putting on an absolutely epic Kentucky take on a South African BRAAI! It’s a double header of awesomeness 😎

NO COVER. 21+ Only.

Please help us congratulate Scott Freese in passing his WSET Global level 3 exam with DISTINCTION! This the highest grade you can achieve on this very challenge exam! Another an incredible milestone in any professional wine career.

If you come to Nouvelle Bar & Bottle you certainly know Scott has been a key part of the CRU for quite some time and is a true leader in the Louisville hospitality scene! His passion for food & beverage runs deep.

We are very proud of him.

Ps - watch out people, we may have the 2nd Master Of Champagne in Kentucky from the FRENCH WINE SCHOLAR coming to Nouvelle soon 🤪
