The House of Laurent-Perrier was founded in 1812 by André Michel Pierlot and took the name Vve Laurent-Perrier when Mathilde Emilie Perrier, the widow of Eugèene Laurent, combined the two family names after she decided to expand the business. Eugénie Hortense Laurent, her daughter, inherited the House in 1925 and sold it to Marie-Louise Lanson de Nonancourt in 1939. A former cooper and bottler in Chigny-les-Roses, André-Michel Pierlot settled in Tours-sur-Marne in 1812 as a négociant in the wines of Champagne. It was in this village, on plots named Les Plaisances and La Tour Glorieux that he founded what was later to become Laurent-Perrier. His son, Alphonse Pierlot, succeeded him and, not having any heirs, he subsequently bequeathed the House to his cellar master, Eugène Laurent. Following his accidental death…

Chevalier's history is an integral part of its identity… The true birth of the estate dates back to the second half of the 19th century. Until not so long ago, the forest took up most of the western part of the Graves, where we are located. How things have changed since then! Archives from the 17th century show us that the small Domaine de Chivaley included “houses, outbuildings, gardens, grounds, vines, woods, and meadows. “The name “Chivaley”, (meaning “knight” in Gascon) is believed to be linked, for an unknown reason, to the presence of the very old pilgrim trail to Santiago de Compostela which still borders the estate. The term domaine, later replaced by château, originally had a wider meaning that has since disappeared. It referred to an ensemble, as…

We love food and wine, we want to share what is good with you! We are a group of wine and food lovers, wine and hospitality trainers, and wine and food writers, who decided to get together and create Wine and Restaurants for three reasons: 1.- Our passion for food and wine, and willingness to share. 2.- Too tired of the restrictions of current life style magazines in Vietnam, whose sole target is money, many of which (if not all) do not do restaurant reviews unless restaurants and hotels advertise, or promise advertising (forget about the claims of independence and mystery visits, our writers used to write for them, we do know!). 3.- Growing interest in Wine in Vietnam, but not dedicated media. WE ARE LOOKING FOR CONTRIBUTORS IN ENGLISH…

Le Domaine des Perdrix was not a renowned estate until the Devillard family took its management in 1996. Robert Parker says about this acquisition that it proves the existence of undiscovered great quality terroirs among the Grands Terroirs of Côte de Nuits. The quality of the vineyards, their rigorous management and vinification have established the Domaine des Perdrix as a renowned Domaine, one of the best among the “Grands Vins de Bourgogne”. Le Domaine des Perdrix has been on top of numerous blind tastings: best Pinot Noir of the World, best Echézeaux, best Nuits-SaintGeorges… Domaine des Perdrix was taken over in 1996 by Devillard's family, wine's men and women, for 5 generations. All vineyards were in perfect condition. High investments have been realized in the Cuverie, in order to take…

Born in the reign of Louis XV, Joseph de Pichon-Longueville witnessed France's three revolutions, five kings, two republics, and one empire. Through his work and commitment over 70 years, Joseph built a magnificent wine estate with 50 hectares under vine. The Pichon Longueville estate was later shared equally among his five children. Virginie de Pichon Longueville, Comtesse de Lalande, and her sisters inherited 30 hectares of one of Bordeaux's greatest wine estates, founded by Pierre de Rauzan in 1689 and owned by the Pichon Longueville family since 1694. She built the Château that bears her name. Baron Joseph's efforts were recognized in the imperial classification, commissioned by Napoleon III for the Paris Universal Exhibition, where Château Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande was ranked as a Second Classified Growth.

The House of Ruinart is unlike any other. It was the first established House of Champagne in 1729 and inspired by the intuition of a monk well ahead of his time… To explore the chalk cellars, also called crayéres, is to discover the Maison history and meet its ancestral know-how. A unique immersion into the beating heart of the Champagne region, where the most emblematic sparkling wine is born and aged. LISTED AS A UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE SITE It was at the end of the 18th century that the Ruinart family, as a pioneer, had the intuition that the white chalk quarries were capable of offering optimal conditions for wine ageing. Dug into the subsoil of the Champagne region, at a depth of nearly 40 meters, the chalk quarries of…
