Twitter Thursday – May 6th

Have you ever wanted to try a really great wine for the price of a really nice wine?

This Thursday, May 6th, you’ll get that chance.

Follow us on Twitter (http://twitter.com/Cafe_Campagne) and tune in on Thursday morning to get the special Twitter Thursday password.  
Call us and make a reservation for dinner that night with the password (or just apply it to an existing reservation for that night) and you’ll get the 2004 Étienne Sauzet Puligny-Montrachet La Garenne at a generous price.  If it were on our wine list (this is an exclusive offering that is in our cellar but not on our wine list) it would be priced at around $225 a bottle.  With the Twitter Thursday password, you’ll have the rare opportunity to have a bottle with your dinner* for only $125.

About Étienne Sauzet, Clive Coates says in his Wines of Burgundy:

“Gérard Boudot, married to a granddaughter of the late Étienne Sauzet and brother-in-law of Henri and Jean-Marc Boillot, is one of Puligny’s most gifted winemakers.  He produced his thirty-second vintage in 2005.  He now works with his daughter Émilie and her husband Benoît Riffault.  In the late 1990s, he compensated for what he had lost when some of the Sauzet domaine passed to Jean-Marc by acquiring a merchant’s license. Everything is vinified and stored in the same cellar.  Splendid wines are here. Only white wines are produced.  They are vinified at about 20 degrees Celsius; bâtonnage takes place “if necessary.”  The premiers crus and grands crus are bottled after 18 months.”

A reviewer from cellartracker.com says:
“Divine aromas of key lime, quince, white peach, limestone and fresh flowers are explosive, while the flavors are still remarkably tight across the palate, with layers of ripe pulpy white fruits that develop breadth as they cross the palate. The finish adds in the minerality and Sauzet’s typical intense acidity. This is divine…”
