The “Sommelières”

Every year, in late November, we hold our “Sommelières” event. On this occasion, we invite our customers for a grand sit-down tasting with commentary. Five wines are served with five original pairings prepared by five Nantes-based partner chefs.

“Les Sommelières” was launched in 1995 following the double idea of our mother Chantal to demonstrate the uniqueness and diversity of Pays Nantais wines and Muscadet, while promoting a broader scope of food pairings for them than the classic seafood suggestions.

The name of the event symbolizes our commitment to working with chefs and the gastronomic scene to promote the unique art de vivre of Nantes. It is a tremendous recognition of our work that five of Nantes’ chefs accept to work with us each year to develop and prepare a recipe to serve with one of our wines.
