Born and raised in Lyon, France and a graduate of Thonon Les Bains. Christelle imported herself, along with her family from France in 1997. She took a job at Le Figaro, a French bistro in Greenwich and after nine years there she accepted a position with G.E. in Fairfield as Banquet supervisor. A year later Harry’s was fortunate enough to cross paths with her and looking for a career change, Christelle agreed to use her talented palette to our benefit. Since 2007, as a staple on staff at Harry’s Christelle’s opinion has helped us to expand and define not only our French section but has added much to the Italian section also. It is very obvious to us that she appreciates great wine at all price points and there cannot be any question that when she loves a wine Harry’s had better have enough for all.
Eugène Carrel "Altesse" Roussette de Savoie" 2010 $14.99
Aromas of butter, white peach, lemon, and a hint of toast. Medium-bodied with an oily mouth feel, the wine has rich flavors of Granny Smith apple, white peach, butter, crème brulée, and a hint of coconut. The oily/lemony finish is very good to excellent with a nice tang of minerals in the aftertaste.
Chateau Puygueraud 2009 $19.99
This blend of 80% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Malbec is soft, round, and easy to drink. It reveals plenty of dark fruits intermixed with notions of earth and spice. Consume it over the next 7-8 years. Wine Advocate, 88 pts
