Chateau de Leelanau – 2010 Pinot Noir

This Gold Medal winning Pinot does not disappoint. It’s raw and earthy, on the cusp of ripeness, just as it should be. Fruity on the nose and palate, with hints of leather, black licorice, and wild cherry. The finish is dry and complete, making you want another sip. You will be completely satisfied! Cheers to great Michigan Pinot!

Chateau Chantal Proprietor’s Reserve Pinot Gris

A pure delight for the palette. Big and balanced. Crisp and clean. Very fruit forward while remaining smooth and dry. Made in the French style with oak, which for this aficionado gives it a complexity that makes my tongue dance and leaves you asking for “more please”.  It’s a party for your senses from beginning to end, with a finish that isn’t quickly over, but lingers, presently reminding you this is made in Michigan and seems to carry all the beauty of the land it was grown on.
