Domaine La Croix Montjoie AOC Vézelay
Chardonnay from where chardonnay was born. This chardonnay hails from the Vézelay appellation in NE Burgundy about 25 miles from Chablis. Domaine La Croix Montjoie has been farming organically and will be fully certified organic this year. Delightful aromas give way to pleasant, crisp, fruity palate. This delicious wine, stylisitically reminiscent of a Chablis, is equally pleasing as an aperitif with starters, with charcuterie, seafood and shellfish and cheeses or all by itself! To paraphrase a couple of famous somms: “some of the best village Chablis for the money is not even in Chablis, it’s about 25 miles south in the village of Vézelay.”
Domaine Les Luquettes IGP Mont Caume Rosé
This delicious rosé will see you through happy hour with a bowl of chips or a heartier charcuterie board and carry you right through dinner with ease. Pale copper almost peach in color, its soft and elegant perfume of makes it that much more enjoyable to drink. Delicate yet concentrated this wine blooms on the palate. Structured and well-balanced with pleasing length, this wine is delightful. It comes to us from the Bandol area of southern France just above the Mediterranean Sea. Domaine Les Luquettes was handed down from mother to daughter. No pesticides, no herbicides, harvested by hand.
