Gorgeous view of the vineyards of Les Rocailles. An earthly paradise nestled on the lower slopes of Mont Granier in the French Alps. The estate is owned & managed by boyhood friends & native Savoyards Guillaume Durand and Alban Thouroude, who purchased Les Rocailles from Pierre Boniface upon his retirement in 2006.

Wine and fondue make for perfect 'melting pot' of friendship
triblive.com
My old friend and former American Wine Society President Alton Long often observed that no wine has any true value until you pull the cork and share the bottle. So true, and the same idea applies to fondues. Fondue -- which comes from the French verb fondre meaning 'to melt' ...The house style at Champagne Laurent is characterized by single-varietal bottlings, in this case, pure Pinot Noir: 80% Blanc de Noirs blended with 20% still red Pinot Noir (Coteaux Champenois). Assembled from 3 vintages and ages a minimum of 30 months on the lees.
