We love- and envy- the French lifestyle. Delicious food, fine cheeses, and so much excellent wine. Bernard Defaix’s Côte de Lechet Premier Cru and Château du Glana’s formidable St. Julien are a perfect reminder of the importance of le bon vivre!
This set includes 1 bottle of each:
Bernard Defaix - Chablis 1er Cru Côte de Lechet - 2022
The remarkable stony and sunny soil of this Premier Cru, located on the slopes of the village Milly and on the right backs of the river Serein, is perfectly captured in this powerful and complex wine. It flourishes with age and expresses mineral aromas reminiscent of gunflint. The Côte de Lechet is indeed one of the Premiers Crus of the Chablisian vineyard with the most exceptional ageing potential. Serve with fish or poultry, with white butter or cream sauces.
Château du Glana - Saint Julien - 2018
A good estate to note down. Brothers Ludovic and Julien Meffre are making good wines here outside of the classified rankings that dominate the appellation. It has a touch of hedgerow in it, which in my mind is shorthand for not being over-polished, so you still get a sense of vibrancy but of actually being made by someone, not pulled off a conveyor belt. It's not the most sumptuous 2018 that you're going to find, but it's beautifully enjoyable, full of vigour and displays the ripe fruit of the vintage.
All premium gift sets are packed in a custom pine wooden gift box with slide opening, locally made in Campbellville, Ontario.
