For many years now our wines have been present on the Japanese market, a great showcase for Burgundy wines. Tokyo has the most 3* Michelin restaurants in the world along with its fishmarket which provides the best fish destined for the finest dining tables. Following the recent dramatic events last month our thoughts turned immediately to our Japanese friends and we had had talks as to how best to help in these difficult times.
We are helping in our own small way by supporting the following projects put in place with our fellow Burgundians.
A collection of clothing, organized by the Japanese restaurant, Bissoh, in Beaune.
We are offering several magnums of Pommard 2007 for auction to support ‘Solidarité Japon’ who in turn support the Japanese Red Cross through the embassy.
As well as this our importer in Japan ENOTECA is organizing an auction of wines to which we are donating the following
Volnay 1erCru Santenot 2000
Chablis 1erCru Cote de Léchet 2004
Chassagne-Montrachet 1erCru Grande Montagne 2006
Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru 2006
Chablis Vaudésir Grand Cru 2006
It is our conviction that the best way to help is to move forward. Japan has once again offered us a valuable lesson in life with its reaction to this crisis.
I have been particularly touched by these events as 2 weeks prior to the tsunami I spent a week on a promotional tour of this country which holds a special place in my heart.
We wish you all the very best
