Saturday evening with sole, someone unhurried, and nowhere to be.
On every bottle
Every bottle comes with a card
One side tells you what to eat with it and what it tastes like. The other side is empty — write a note and the bottle becomes a present.
The front
What to eat with it
Two dishes that work with this wine, two flavours you'll notice, and the right temperature to pour it. No wine-speak.
The back
Room for your note
Lines for a name, a few words and your signature. Have it sent straight to someone and they get a card you wrote, not a packing slip.

Why it's on our shelf
Les Lys sits on a marne asphyxiante — a marl so dense in clay it starves the vines of oxygen. The stress produces a Chardonnay of unusual concentration: white flowers, marked minerality, and a salinity that runs through every sip. Eleven years in the cellar. What was vertical and tight in youth has become focused and long. One of the more serious Premier Crus in the Chablis lineup.
