Sweet Dreams are Made of Cheese:
Les Frères Marchand
France is known for its rich cheese-making tradition, and French cheeses are loved for its remarkable diversity of varieties, the use of traditional techniques and the value of terroir. Hailing from Eastern France, Les Frères Marchand offers cheese and dairy products of exceptional quality and incredible flavour. Let’s find out what makes their products so irresistible!
About the Brand: Les Frères Marchand
Les Frères Marchand is a family business of three brothers from Nancy in Eastern France. Philippe, Patrice and Eric represent the sixth generation of a cheese business that started in 1880. Thanks to the know-how passed on from generation to generation, it has become a reference in ageing and ripening cheeses, offering perfect maturity and flavours.
Les Frères Marchand carries a wide range of cheese and dairy products that are suitable for everyone – from adults to kids, and even cheese newbies! Those who prefer a milder flavour can try their range of Comte, while French cheese veterans may prefer something more complex such as artisanal Roquefort.

Grape Expectations:
Burgundy Wines by Yann Durieux
With an emphasis on terroir, or the sense of place, Burgundy is a world-renowned wine region in France known for its wines of unparalleled quality produced primarily from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes. We’re proud to introduce three Burgundy wines by winemaker Yann Durieux, who despite his age, has already gained a legendary reputation as a leading natural and biodynamic wine producer in Burgundy.
About the Brands: Domaine Prieuré Roch and Recrue des Sens by Yann Durieux
With his decade long experience at Domaine Prieuré Roch in Burgundy, the young winemaker, Yann Durieux, decided the time was ripe to start his own winery Recrue des Sens in 2010. Working on a small area just three hectares in size up the hills, Durieux continued his focus on producing wines as naturally as he could. All his wines are certified organic biodynamic.
Yann Durieux Love and Pif 2020
It has amazing length and structure, and while it has benefited from some time in the bottle, the wine still has a lively and fresh character.
Yann Durieux La Gouzotte 2020
Named after and just like the winegrower’s hooked knife, this Pinot Noir was created to be fine, sharp, cool and direct. Matured in vats with zero sulphites, this wine allows the full glory of Pinot Noir to unfold. Expressive and vibrant.

Grower Champagne Selection
Grower Champagne generally refers to wines that are produced in the Champagne region of France that are grown, vinified and aged by one specific grape grower and their families.
