The bulk of the wine (75%) is Pinot Noir and Meunier from the hillside bowl of Chamery which gives the wine power and a full round mouthfeel. The remainder comes from Chardonnay whose bright acidity adds freshness and edge to the wine. All vineyards are farmed organically with cover crops and minimal intervention. The Brut NV consists of three vintages (2007-08-09). The wines are made in a reductive style in stainless steel to preserve the freshness of the fruit. Dosage is moderate at 12 g\/l. The result is a wine with ripe red fruit wrapped around a core of bright citrus softened by the extended tirage to produce a rich creamy texture and long mineral driven finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePascal Lallement is a perfect example of the grower movement.

He has been blessed with prime sites in the Montagne de Reims village of Chamery. When viewing the perfect South facing amphitheater of vineyards it's easy to understand why it is rated 1er Cru as the steep bowl looks very much like the Grand Cru of Chablis. The mixture of clay over chalk along with the sunny exposure is ideal for the red varieties Pinot Noir and Meunier which comprise the majority of the blend. Small choice parcels in the neighboring villages of Sermier and Eceuil augment the production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the Grande Marques easily have production in the millions of bottles, Lallement's vineyards support a mere 50,000 bottles per year. It is only after spending nearly 5 years on the lees that the wines disgorged and released. This level of aging is 2 years longer than the requirement for vintage Champagne and similar to many houses' tetes-du cuvée. Pascal Lallement not only walks the walk but he also talks the talk. He is an active spokesman for the village of Chambery and for farmer made wines. Part of the appeal of Lallement is his involvement in oeno-tourism which began in 1996. He welcomes guests to his village with tours of his caves, meals paired with Champagne and rides through the vineyards in his custom 'winetrain'. He feels that by demonstrating what goes into the wines from his quaint village his guests can better understand the relationship of the place to the wines that come from Chamery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pascal Lallement","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":15413631615079,"sku":"PLCHBRNV","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0150\/0646\/products\/pascal-lallement-champagne-brut-1er-cru-chamery-1.jpg?v=1606005814"},{"product_id":"la-cosecha-riserva-sherry-vinegar-de-jerez-10-years-old","title":"La Cosecha Riserva Sherry Vinegar de Jerez 10 years old","description":"\u003c!-- split --\u003e\u003c!-- accordion --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Wine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMany of the world's foremost culinary experts agree that vinegar produced from pure sherry wine in \u003cstrong\u003eJerez de la Frontera is of unequaled excellence for salads and cooking purposes.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThese vinegars are in short supply - for only occasionally does a barrel of Oloroso choose a different path.

Michel Magnien was born in 1946 and worked alongside his father Bernard from a young age. The Magniens sold their grapes to the local cooperative until 1993 when his son Frédéric joined the family business and persuaded his father to bottle the entire harvest by themselves.

Sweet wines were favored until well into the 19th century, when French immigrants began making dry wines with a decidedly French character. Chile’s long, narrow, coastal geography has made the transportation of wines challenging over the centuries, though today it is a major exporter. To the west is the Pacific Ocean, to the east are the Andes. But the isolation has also meant that Chile vineyards have so far never been attacked by phylloxera, meaning that unlike viticulturalists in many other part of the world, Chilean vineyards can be planted with original rootstock, saving producers the laborious job of grafting vines onto phylloxera-resistant rootstocks. Chile started an appellation system in 1994, and there are five regions each with numerous sub-regions.

This pioneering woman developed the reputation of sparkling wines from Burgundy far beyond the region's borders. Anne Marie Ninot was born in Rully in 1859 in the heart of the Burgundy wine-growing regions. 20 years later she was married to a Parisian banker, Antoine Emile Ambal.  She will follow him in Paris and they will have two children. At her husband's death, Marie returned to her native village of Rully, where her brother still lived. He was an owner and merchant of Burgundy wines. This time saw the beginnings of the champagne method. Marie was interested in it and decided to create her own Maison in 1898. To begin with, she produced both red and white high-quality champagne-method sparkling wines. In 1929 happened the first transmission to her Grandson Charles Roux. He ran the company up until his death in 1988 before it was passed on to his grandson Eric Piffaut. Today, the company is run by her descendant, Eric Piffaut. His son, Aurélien, is also involved in the business. Together, they use their expertise and knowledge to continue the family tradition of producing high-quality wines. As a result of the success of its wines, a production site was built in 2005, near to the Beaune region and the A6 motorway. \u003cstrong\u003eThe brand new Veuve Ambal winery is large, ultramodern facility equipped with the latest and greatest, state-of-the-art vinification tools and robotics which allow the winery to maintain a very high level of quality.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e***Free Shipping on 12 or More Bottles of this Wine***\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Veuve Ambal","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":19648249823335,"sku":"VARSCRNV","price":24.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0150\/0646\/products\/1_4dbbe855-f5c9-4bb5-8504-8d35e55f93be.jpg?v=1605977612"},{"product_id":"2017-formiga-de-seda-priorat-blanco-spain","title":"2017 Formiga de Seda Priorat Blanco Spain","description":"\u003c!-- split --\u003e\u003c!-- accordion --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Wine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAre you interested and curious to armchair travel to NE Spain, about two hours west of Barcelona.
