A festive journey through Chablis and Saint-Émilion
Two classic regions, two beautifully contrasting styles
This gift has been curated for anyone who appreciates classic French wine and the pleasure of comparing two distinctive regions over the course of a festive occasion. Fontaine Goby’s Petit Chablis Organic is a fresh, dry Chardonnay whose lively fruit, crisp acidity and mineral character make a refreshing opening. Château La Rose Trimoulet Grand Cru Classé then takes the experience in a richer direction. Drawn from mature vines on limestone-clay and sandy-clay soils, its Merlot and Cabernet Franc bring concentrated black fruit, supple tannins and good freshness, while maturation in seasoned French oak adds subtle spice and vanilla without overwhelming the wine. Together, they offer a natural progression from bright aperitif drinking to the depth and warmth of the dinner table.

Why we enjoy this classic French pairing
Fontaine Goby’s Petit Chablis captures the fresh, energetic appeal of Chablis, bringing crisp fruit and a mineral note that feel wonderfully uplifting at the start of an occasion. Château La Rose Trimoulet offers a graceful contrast from Saint-Émilion, where mature vines, a Merlot-led blend and careful maturation in seasoned French oak create depth without sacrificing freshness or elegance.
- Petit Chablis Organic brings a lively change of pace to the glass: fresh citrus and green apple, crisp acidity and a subtle mineral character make it a versatile companion for aperitifs, seafood and lighter dishes.
- Château La Rose Trimoulet comes from a small Saint-Émilion vineyard with limestone-clay and sandy-clay soils, and its mature vines contribute to a red with concentrated black fruit, supple structure and a clear sense of place.
- The red’s maturation in French oak without any new barrels is especially appealing, lending gentle spice and vanilla while allowing the ripe fruit, freshness and long, harmonious finish to remain at the centre of the experience.
I love how naturally these wines carry you through an occasion: the Chablis is bright, fresh and full of energy, while the Saint-Émilion brings supple black fruit, gentle spice and a lovely sense of calm.
