250 years of French–American friendship
Two shores.
One philosophy.
In 1776, a young country half a world away asked France for help. Two hundred and fifty years later, we’re still asking each other questions — about food, about wine, about how to live.

At La Cave, we back small producers who take as much care tending their vines as they do making their wine. That’s true of every French estate we import. It’s also true of the American vignerons we’ve been quietly building relationships with on this side of the Atlantic. The vigneron mindset knows no borders.
To celebrate 250 years of French–American friendship, we’re pouring four wines side by side — two from Provence, two from Carneros. Four bottles that tell the same story in different accents.
From Provence
Marine Chauvier
Domaine de Marchandise
The Chauvier family estate in the Var, more than fifty years in one family’s hands.
