Grace and Favour has become a La garagista classic. Bottled initially for our London market, a gracious sparkling, it is always ready to fly out the door early in the spring.  It gathers itself precociously, as if it knows we need something bright, citrusy, salty, and textured to get us through the months of spring, when more sunny days become consistent.  Grown on the gentle west-facing slope in the Vergennes vineyard which we call Les Carouges because of the red-winged black birds that nest there, or we've been know to call it The Lion because of its courageous heart and the bright green foliage that moves like a lion's mane during the summer.  Lovely as a young wine, it also has the chops to age for a long time.  We recommend having it both ways: to wake up with in the spring, or to keep for awhile.  With this wine, you can have your cake, and eat it too.
