G.
Tribaut Champagne
G. Tribaut is
situated on 12 gently rolling hectars
in Hautvilliers, France. The chalky
earth in this area of the Champagne
region and the three varieties of
grapes both influence the champagne that
is made here.
The champagne from
this small producer is a harmonious
creation and a delight to experience. Be
sure to taste the Champagne
Blanc de
Blance de Réserve
and the
Grande Cuvée Spéciale with
their subtle aromas and elegant taste.
G. Tribault is not a
large distributor and their products are
not widely available. You will have to
visit this family run house in France to
discover their traditions and their
champagnes.
Their is always a warm welcome and the
house is open everyday from 9 am to noon
and from 2 pm to 6 pm. Sunday afternoon

Sancerre Domaine Vacheron
Domaine
Vacheron prides themselves on being an
organic producer. They were certified
organic in 2003. Their wines have a
fruity and zesty nature, but much of
their flavor comes from the soil in the
Loire Valley.
This domaine
is probably the largest producer of
Sancerre rouge in the region. Sancerre
rouge is made up of 100% Pinot Noir and
these wines have an interesting
character and very distinctive flavor of
cherry, black current, vanilla and zesty
twist.
In addition
to their reds, Vacheron also produces a
very impressive white made from 100%
Sauvignon Blanc. These wines tend to
have a a mix of citrus, minerals and
chalky taste that are distinctive and
stimulating to the palette.
Don't miss a
chance to sample any of the Vacheron
wines for an outstanding taste of the
region.
