Chevalier d'Eon is an inspirational Burgundy guests will love ... and they'll enjoy the story too!

Tonnerre's wines were once favoured by the royal courts of Europe, introduced to them by the Chevalier, a passionate advoacte of Tonnerre wines ... and a secret agent of Louis XV who infiltrated these courts dressed as a woman.

Following the turmoil of the French Revolution, the vineyards were abandoned. Then in the 1980s, Chablis winemaker Bernard Dampt replanted a wildly overgrown, once-sacred plot.

Now his three sons (one of whom was recently voted Chablis's Young Winemaker of the Year) love making this special wine - and winning medals! Very Chablis like in style with aromas of citrus and sweet gooseberry leading to the full, round palate of great Burgundy.

"2004 is a great vintage for lovers of white Burgundy ... the wines are delicious - cool, fragrant, pure and fruity" (Decanter).
