Chateau de Bord Côtes du Rhône
The vineyard of Chateau de Bord de Laudun boasts an ancient heritage dating back to the Roman era. After this wine has time to open up and breathe, you’ll savor the rich history lesson it sports. Very fruit forward and spicy, this wine invigorates the palate and leaves a pleasant finish of tannins.

Clos des Lunes Bordeaux Blanc
There’s no guesswork involved with this zesty blend of old Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc. It is pure, simple, and to-the-point. Brightens up on the palate like the sun rising on a clear Sunday morning. Its grassy undertones and acidity dance pleasantly with strawberry and arugula salad, and with sweet scallops, trout or smoked poultry.
