Celebrating 50 Years of Chappellet, a Tribute to Donn Chappellet with a tasting of 5 decades of Cabernet Sauvignon featuring Cyril Chappellet of Chappellet Vineyards

La Playa Carmel | Friday, March 17, 2017, 3:30 pm - 5 pm

The Chappellet family’s romance with Napa Valley and Pritchard Hill started more than five decades ago when Donn and Molly Chappellet first glimpsed at its magnificent vista of forests and wildflower-filled meadows. Inspired by the notion that Bacchus loves the hills, the Chappellets followed the advice of renowned winemaker André Tchelistcheff and settled on Pritchard Hill’s rocky slopes, becoming the first Napa Valley winery to plant vineyards exclusively on high-elevation hillsides. From these Pritchard Hill vineyards, the Chappellets have been crafting extraordinary, age-worthy wines since 1967.

Join us for a rare tasting of 50 years of Chappellet Cabernet Sauvignon shipped directly from the Chappellet cellars where these wines have never moved. Cyril Chappellet leads the panel with wines including 2014, 2012, 2007, 2001 and 1999 Pritchard Hill Cabernet Sauvignon and 1987, 1975 Cabernet Sauvignon, and perhaps the greatest Cabernet Sauvignon ever made in Napa Valley, the extremely rare 1969 Chappellet Cabernet Sauvignon. Master Sommelier, Jay James leads the discussion.

Georis Winery Lunch

The Georis Adobe | Carmel Valley | Saturday, March 18, 2017, 9:30 am - 2 pm

Walter Georis was born of a Belgian father and a German mother who immigrated to the US from Belgium in 1956 when Walter was eleven years old. After having spent his teen years in Southern California, Walter decided to move north to Carmel where he pursued a career in fine arts. Remembering his childhood and the pleasures of country life on the family farms in Europe, Walter decided to combine his love of fine wines with the challenges and rewards of growing grapes and producing first class wines. In 1981, after consulting with French experts on soil and wine making, he bought a ranch in Carmel Valley and soon planted the grapes that would produce the first crop of Georis wines.

Taste rarities from Walter’s Cellars and his winemaker Damien Georis who will also pour his Madeleine wines. The Old Georis Adobe in Carmel Valley Village is the perfect place to hold this intimate event prepared by Relais & Châteaux Chef Joshua Drage of The Ranch at Rock Creek and Casanova Executive Chef Bryan Smith.

The Power of Grand Cru Le Corton from Bouchard Pere & Fils

La Playa Carmel | Saturday, March 18, 2017, 10:30 am - 12 pm

Founded in 1731 in Beaune by Michael Bouchard, Bouchard Père & Fils is one of the oldest wines estates in Burgundy perpetuating tradition for nearly 3 centuries and 9 generations. The Domaine’s ancient walls contain wonderful secrets as they house the greatest collection of old burgundy with historic wines dating back to the mid-1800s.

“Le Corton” is one of these historic wines and vineyards, which gave the name to the Corton appellation. The first traces of vineyards at Aloxe-Corton date back to the 2nd century B.C. and later Le Corton was to be the favorite wine of Charlemagne. In the 19th century, writer Guy de Maupassant contributed to its reputation by calling it the “roi des bons vivants” in his famous novel “Bel-Ami.” Corton is the only red Grand Cru in the Côte de Beaune and the only Grand Cru in the Côte d’Or to be divided into “sous- climats.” Bouchard Père & Fils owns one of the best “climats” in Le Corton and since 1976, winemaker Philippe Prost has been guiding the wines of Bouchard Père & Fils. He has opened their historic cellars and shipped directly from the Domaine for us to taste treasures that include Le Corton 2009, 2000, 1985, 1978, 1976, 1969, 1961 and 1959.

Originally dating from the 12th century, Château Margaux roots took firm hold in the 16th century with the arrival of the Lestonnac Family.

Champagne Pommery – The Purity of “Cuvee Louise” with Legendary Chef de Cave Thierry Gasco

Cuvée Louise, an extremely pure champagne, was created in 1979.

In the tradition of Pommery Nature 1874, Louise is a prestige Cuvée with extremely low sugar content. Behind this apparent simplicity, there are unique processes at play, used at every stage of winemaking, so that Cuvée Louise can take the time to embody the quintessence of Pommery style.
