WINE
MAISON ALBERT WINERY
Like most of the vineyards we have shared with you, the vineyards of Maison Albert have a
deep desire to create a truly organic wine. Only natural methods are used to cultivate the
grapes. For instance, wild plants are grown in an effort to maintain a rich biodiversity and
balance the structure of the soil. Each root generates different micro-organisms which allow
the vine to fully grasp the essence of the terroir. Pesticides, herbicides and other synthetic
chemical fertilizers are prohibited. In addition, sheep roam the vineyard and are responsible
for weeding and preparing the best organic manure. Their grazing also helps to aerate the
soil, thereby protecting it from fires. Maison Albert focuses on estate wines from the family’s
properties of Château Auris and Château Les Bugadelles in the Rhone Valley.
MAISON ALBERT CHARDONNAY
The Chardonnay grapes in this wine are organic and mechanically harvested which helps
to quickly gather the grapes (protecting them from oxidation) and transfer them to the cellar.
Fermentation takes place in stainless steel and is allowed to mature on the lees. The modern
cellar is computerized to perfectly control the temperatures during fermentation and avoid
any oxidation of the harvest. This Chardonnay is fresh with powerful notes of citrus fruits and
white flowers.
MAISON ALBERT PINOT NOIR
The Pinot Noir grapes in this wine are organic, harvested by hand, and carried in small crates
to avoid any damage to the grapes during transit from vineyard to cellar. The modern
cellar is computerized to perfectly control the temperatures during fermentation and avoid any
oxidation of the harvest. This slightly sweet and fruity pinot noir is fruit-driven with notes of
raspberries, cherries, and strawberries. It carries delicate floral flavors with a silky mouth-feel
and gentle tannins.
GOURMET FOOD
DOMA STUFFED PEPPER
DOMA in the Macedonian language means “My home” and is representative of the highest
quality and processes developed over centuries in the villages of Macedonia. DOMA cheese
stuffed red peppers are made with a traditional homemade recipe using only 4 ingredients.
These cherry peppers are ready to be consumed as an appetizer or as a complimentary addition
to your meal. It is 100% natural and contains NO preservatives!
TRUFFLE BUTTER ITALIAN BREAD
Oh my…one word…YUM! This recipe is going to be your next go-to for entertaining. The truffle
butter is simple enough to make (and make ahead to have on hand when needed). Not only is
this truffle butter melt-in-your-mouth delicious on bread, but once you try it, you’ll imagine the
possibilities of enjoying it on steak or potatoes, and other vegetables.
