‘Céline’ is your best friend who will just let you vent on and on about life, while quietly nodding along...and all of a sudden it’s been 2 hours and the bottle is gone. Yves Duport uses zero chemicals in the vineyard or in his cellar and considers himself more of a silent conductor - allowing the wines to take on a life of their own in a true natural winemaking style, while at the same time making sure it is still a sound, delicious wine in the end. Bursting with red cherries, strawberries, raspberries, and a tart, mouth-watering and dry finish, this wine is a fun, esoteric blend of both white and red grapes that creates a chill-able, crushable bottle of wine.

Pairings: Boxcarr Cottonseed bloomy rind cheese with fresh figs and crackers
