Millésime Bio is the world's largest organic
wine fair, and is becoming more and more important as the years go
by. Each January, organic winemakers from around the world
gather in Montpellier to showcase their wines and to share best
practices in organic and biodynamic farming techniques.
Each of our five partner vineyards were exhibitors at the wine
fair, and put their wines forward for the Challenge Millésime Bio
best organic wine awards.
We are thrilled to announce that two of our partner winegrowers
had one of their organic wines selected for a silver medal.
Domaine Chapelle won theirs for the Santenay Premier Cru,
Beaurepaire 2009 organic red wine, and Domaine Jean-Marc Brocard
for their Chablis Vielles Vignes 2009 organic white wine.
Congratulations for this well deserved praise, that once again
recognizes the quality and excellence of our partner winemakers!
Find out what it's really like to be a winemaker with the Gourmet
Odyssey Wine Experience gift and discover the secrets that go
into making a great wine. It's the St Valentine's gift for
2012 that your loved one won't forget!
So, what's included? Your partner will become the adopted owner
of a mini plot of vines in one of our organic vineyards in
France, and will follow all of the key stages in making the
wine. You can also include one or more of the Gourmet
Odyssey Wine Experience Days at the vineyard so that you can roll
up your sleeves and get involved yourself in helping the
winemaker.
The Wine Experience Days, each valid for two people, are the
ideal excuse to get away and share a weekend together in one of
France's most beautiful wine regions. Alongside the
winemaker, you'll learn how to cultivate the vines, harvest the
grapes and blend the wines in the cellar. A wine tasting session
of the estate' wine are of course included, as well as the chance
to savour other regional delicacies during the winemaker's meal.
At the end of the Wine Experience, your loved one will receive
their own personalised bottles of wines made with the grapes from
their adopted vines.
So if you're looking for an original St Valentine's gift to
surprise the wine lover in your life, why not adopt a vine!
