    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.

    Please let us know what you think.

    D’Arenberg ‘The Hermit Crab’ (Viognier / Marsanne)

    2008 McLaren Vale/Adelaide Hills, Australia

    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.

    Pairing Suggestion with Chambar menu items:
    Apetizer - Les coquilles st. jacques
    Main - Flétan aux pistaches
    (For descriptions of these menu items please visit our MENU section).
