How do the chocolate eggs end up in the garden ?

What we tell to French kids… 

“Thursday, the bells of the churches grow wings and fly to Rome for a visit; on their way back, they drop chocolate eggs in the garden, but only if you have been a good boy/girl.”

The legend (in certain Catholic countries and particularly in France) states that they leave for Rome on the evening of Holy Thursday, where the Pope blesses them. On Easter morning, the bells return to ring and announce the joy of Christ's resurrection. In Rome, they load themselves with Easter eggs, which they scatter on their return in the gardens. The children will then look for them.

Now, for adults, what do we eat and drink ?

You are more likely to eat lamb, as we would in France or Italy… 

So we highly recommend you try our 2022 Pinot Noir, which recently scored 92/100 with 4 stars by The Real Review; see the tasting notes below.

“Ruby. A layer of savoury reduction blows off to reveal dusty black fruit with plum, cherry and a stalky herbal edge. Very restrained today but quite stylish. Balanced towards the chalky, chewy and mineral with a cooler edge and some crunchier red/black fruit. Blackcurrant and bay leaf. Slightly rigid structure and a long, tannin-led palate of fruit, spice and crushed rock. Crunchy, chalky but light-weight with some depth and lively balance” Stephen Wong
