Le Chat Botté

I spot Le Chat Botté on our way to Philion orchard and after collecting our apples we decide to examine the little winery. For our joy they are opened and wine tasting can begin. Without knowing what are we going into we decide to do the full tasting that includes all the wines. Note the tasting is not complimentary. Pours are not extremely generous, but absolutely sufficient to sense the bouquet of the wines and decide to buy some. Our big disycovery is the straw wine, the owner would explain in details the process of preparing it during the tasting. There are three of them produced by Le Chat Botté, they are on the sweet side, but rich and extremely aromatic. As we sip I build a vision about foie gras and the amber straw wine. We leave with three bottles of different types, one of them will be indeed consumed later at home with mousse de foie gras and strong cheese, and believe me it was amazing. The straw wines cost 40 cad the bottle (35 cad if you buy two), but they are the absolute treat and worth buying. Beautiful discovery and strongly recommended to visit!
