Remoissenet ‘Renommee’ 1997
In a market the forces us to search for true value, this wine over delivers in every way. In 1997, Remoissenet de-classified their Puligny Montrachet to create this gem, giving it amazing value.
The secret here is the vintage. At 13 years old it continues to show a youthful energy perfectly balanced with a mature posture.
A deep, rich golden yellow appearance sets up a brilliant palate of lemon, green apple, Bosque pear, flint and grilled almonds. The development shows through with a suggestion of honeyed caramel and toasted brioche though the finish.
Pairing Suggestion with Chambar menu items: Apetizer - La brochette d’autruche Main - Flétan aux pistaches (For descriptions of these menu items please visit our MENU section).
Unfortunately the archaic prohibition time liquor laws here in BC prevent us from selling this wine outside the restaurant, we therefore recommend visiting one of Liberty Wine Merchants locations.
Brilliant Ozzy winemaker, Chester Osborn, has crafted this fashionable wine using some of the noble grapes of the Rhone Valley of France. A generous, aromatic nose of apricot, peach and pear wrapped by honeysuckle and orange blossom. It is expansive on the palate and has a perfect balance of acidity and weight. Stone fruits, citrus and melon open to ginger notes with spice, pine nuts and tangerine. Sublime.

This is a fantastic, boutique winery in Napa Valley. Family owned and operated, the Frias family produce hand-crafted wines that are some of the most sought after in California. For this wine, they use juice from their coveted cabernet, merlot and limited syrah.
This rosé showcases the essence of summer. A dry, bright and refreshing wine with crisp acidity. Loaded with juicy watermelon, strawberry and delicate floral aromatics. The palate showcases, candied red fruits, pear and blueberry. Vivacious!
