About this event
La Paulée will kick off in San Francisco with a very special evening with Etienne de Montille and a brilliant selection of wines in magnum direct from Domaine de Montille's cellars in Volnay. Following a reception featuring wines from Etienne’s acclaimed California project Racines, we will begin the dinner with a vertical of Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru le Cailleret back to 1996. We will then explore the domaine’s heralded Côte de Beaune terroirs of Volnay-Taillepieds and Pommard-Rugiens through twin flights highlighting the 90’s, 80’s and 70’s. Etienne will then showcase de Montille’s crown jewel, the extremely limited cuvée Christiane of Malconsorts, made from a unique parcel just next to the original part of La Tâche and bordered by the same roads, including the very first vintage 2005. The dinner will close with a taste of de Montille’s fabulous Corton-Charlemagne from the spectacular 2010 vintage. The showstopping array of wines will be paired with the elegant cuisine of Chef Rupert Pease at his newly-opened highly-anticipated restaurant Wolfsbane.
