Description

Chablis 2023, Domaine OrionFrom a sedimentary basin of Kimmeridgian limestone, layered with limestone and marl and full of oyster shell fossils, this 100% Chardonnay is exactly what Chablis should be: a rich broth of oyster shells, lemon, and stones, in a wash of fresh acidity and ripe fruit. This is the first time this wine has been imported into the US market, and we're so excited to share it with you! About the Winery As a young woman, La Schaller left Chablis for university

About the Winery

As a young woman, Léa Schaller left Chablis for university in Strasbourg. This led to a job in the music business in Paris, putting even more distance between herself and her parents' life of farming cereals and vines. Music influenced her enough to name her domaine Orion, after a song by the band Metallica, but long before that came to pass she had come to question her life in Paris. Coinciding with the end of her employment contract, her mother broke a leg, which put the dissonance into perspective: her father was nearing retirement, her mother was on crutches, and she was their only child. Moreover, she was thinking about starting a family herself, and the countryside beckoned as far more hospitable to raising a child than the streets of the capital city. She went home to Préhy.


Préhy is a small village in the southwest corner of the Chablis appellation, often photographed for its church, which stands as an icon on the ridge just outside of the village proper. Léa spent a year helping her mother while taking various odd jobs in the town of Chablis. Then she made the decision to take over the family business, making her the third generation to run the farm. That was fundamental enough, given its implicit life-long commitment, but she went one step further by deciding to build a winery to bottle wine instead of selling the entire crop of grapes to the co-op. This required a return to school to get a degree in viticulture and winemaking (along with the prerequisite internships, hers done at the family domaine and at the Chablisienne cooperative).

Thereafter, she got a loan to build a small winery, equipped it with stainless steel tanks, and penciled out a five-year plan. Her first vintage was 2019, which saw a production of 1,000 bottles. Every year thereafter she pulled more vines from the co-op so that by vintage 2023 she was able to market 20,000 bottles (1,650 cases). She quit all herbicides in 2022 and minimized other treatments. She’s in a viticulture group with Pascal Picq, Didier’s brother who heads up the vineyards for the Picq domaine. Like the Picq brothers for much of their vines, Léa harvests by machine. She farms 10 hectares of vines on her domaine, 6.6 of which are contracted to the co-op. The 3.4 hectares of vines she has for herself break down as follows:

• 1.9 in appellation Chablis
• 1 in appellation Petit Chablis
• 0.5 in Bourgogne


The crop from the Bourgogne parcel is all sold to the co-op for cash flow, as is a part of the two Chablis appellations; the rest, she makes into wine and bottles it. She has one full-time employee and a seasonal worker.

A word on Léa’s nifty label: Schallers came to Chablis from the German part of Switzerland via Alsace in the 19th century and settled as farmers in the area (Léa’s cousin Camille Schaller has his own domaine in Préhy, which he started with his father in 2014 by pulling a portion of their vines from the co-op). In old German, their name referred to the village bell-ringer who rang in the close of the day and the coming of owls.

Thanks to Sébastien Boulard and the BIVD for the photo of Léa.

Don’t hold up/good Customer Service.
Size: 10.5, Color: Army Green
Please read full review. Where to begin. The boots are comfortable, decent waterproofing, they feel/look well constructed. Unfortunately they did not hold up well, I hikes less than 10 times. My left foot began to hurt on top near bottom of the lace, I tried every lacing method and it still hurt, leading to potential blisters. It was not a break in issue the boots were initially comfortable to wear then around hike 6 they hurt. Reached out to the company they were partially helpful offering a coupon on their website. Their shoes are significantly higher in price on their website. It could have been a lemon pair of boots. Buy with caution. Updated: 4/9/26-CS reached out to me and offered full refund or new pair of boots. I do hike often so I went with the new pair of boots. I will create a new review in the future /update this review. A+ for their CS. Initial review was 2 stars I increased to 3 stars if these boots hold up the score will go higher.

Nice Grill Cover
Size: 55 Inch, Color: black
I bought this as a replacement cover. It's durably made. It's not too thick or heavy. It fits nicely over my grill. The handles make it easy to put on and take off.

Durable, Long-Lasting, Doesn’t Fade in the Sun!!!
Size: 50 Inch, Color: black, Size: 50 Inch, Color: black
I’ve had this grill cover for almost a year now. But it last summer and it has been on my grill that is on open porch (no roof/overhang/cover protect protecting it from the elements). This particular area of the porch gets a ton of direct sunlight all day long as well. Needless to say, I am incredibly impressed by the material of this cover. It looks almost brand new even after a year of use and exposure to the elements. The fact that it didn’t even get faded in the sun a little bit blows my mind. Great product and excellent value! Highly recommend.
