I am very pleased to announce the addition of Pic-Chapoutier wines to the ABC portfolio of fine wines.

 Pic-Chapoutier is a combined effort of two of the most influential people in their respective fields: Anne-Sophie Pic (restaurant Pic in Valence) and Michel Chapoutier (domain M. Chapoutier).

Maison Pic in Valence is one of the highest places of French gastronomy, located in the town of Valence in the Rhône Valley. The restaurant has more than a century of history, three generations, each generation distinguished by the highest three-star Michelin award.

 The Chapoutier family has more than 200 years of winemaking history in the Rhone Valley, producing some of the world’s greatest wines (Côte Rôtie, Hermitage, Crozes Hermitages, Saint Joseph, Châteauneuf du Pape, Luberon) and more recently in the wine regions of Roussillon, Languedoc, and Alsace and outside of France in Portugal and Australia. The vineyards are cultivated organically or biodanamically.

Even if you can’t make it to Pic restaurant this year, you can get the wines served at the restaurant at ABC; we have the Crozes Hermitage, Châteauneuf du Pape, the Côtes du Luberon and the Côtes du Rhône. Santé!!!
