L’Alliance Française de Christchurch

When Sancerre, Pouilly-Fume, Menetou-Salon, Cheverny, Saumur-Champigny and Champagne winemakers heard about the devastating Christchurch earthquake, they immediately offered bottles of wine to be auctioned at Clos Henri in order to bring support in their own way to the victims. Earlier this year, at our 10th Anniversary, we auctioned off the wines, which raised over $6000. Damien took a drive to Christchurch last week to attend L'Alliance Francaise de Christchurch and officially hand over the cheque to the Mayor of Christchurch, Mr Bob Parker.

Philippe Sella Visits the Cellar Door

This was the first week of the new season here at Clos Henri. The cellar door was opened just in time for the influx of French rugby fans to touch down in Marlborough for the Rugby World Cup. Among our many blue cladded visitors was none other than French rugby legend and former French union player Mr Philippe Sella. We are all hoping for a blue/black final... Croisons les doigts!
