Chardonnay & Pinot Noir, Côte des Bar, Champagne, France
A plump, opulent and concentrated, BRAND NEW to Ontario grower champagne from GW Imports! We were stunned by the precision & FORCE of these zero-zero (or additive free!) teeny-tiny batch Champagnes, and are THRILLED to bring them to you. Patient farmers and winemakers, Salima and Alain Cordeuil’s organic four hectares are sitting pretty in the village of Noé les Mallets, in the elevated, southern Côte des Bar sub-region of Champagne. Their work is gentle, and extremely low-intervention, exploring the possibilities of regionally synonymous grapes through phenolic ripeness and extended lees aging. The stunning ‘Clair Obscur’ comes from two plots of 30 year-old vines of earthy, berried pinot noir (65%) and mineral, tart chardonnay (35%), direct pressed and aged on lees for four to five years before bottling. Rich, cacao-buttery, unsweetened white chocolate, hawthorn, graham spices, cold salted butter on hot toast, green blueberry, rocky mountain glacial runoff and the cold wet rock at the base of a waterfall, chalk, white sugar turning to caramel, lemon-lime powder, grapefruit pith bitters & super fine yet creamy bubbles that bite at you like little fish teeth. Pour alongside life changing news, decisions made or promises spoken, this one’s for commemoration.

We don't know if you've heard this, but Canada is a truly WILD place to import wine. Each province is it's own country with super strict rules. For ages, so much of the very best natural wine never made it into the province. That is changing in such an exciting way. We started our own import company to bring you some of our very favourite wines from around the world at the sharpest prices - this allows us to travel, fall in love with a wine, and bring right to your doorstep without a middle person. Put simply, as the importer, we shave one layer off the supply chain. We offer these sweet wholesale discounts when you bundle. From 1, 3 to 6 packs you'll find serious savings. The GWI sticker - Grape Witch Imports - means not only that we strongly stand behind the producer, it also means you won't find a better deal anywhere else in town. It also allows us to source many wines just for the shop - you'll find Ontario exclusives marked GWIE - Grape Witch Import Exclusive. Are you a licensee or producer looking to join our imports roster? Send us an email at hello@grapewitchimports.com
