Gourmet products local specialties and wines Joigny

Farmers from father to son for four generations, the Calmus family didn't start making wine until 1998. A young estate (which today boasts 4.5 hectares of vines stretching across the hillsides of Joigny), but one that is already playing in the big league. With a number of prestigious awards under its belt. These include the 2013 Brennus d'Argent for their Bourgogne Chardonnay 2010. White, red, rosé and gray wines, as well as crémant, can be found at the Joigny market on the first Saturday of every month.

In the Côte Saint-Jacques store (which can be reached without going through the reception), a choice of products selected by Karine Lorain, Jean-Michel's wife. Jams, chocolates, caramels, nougats, without forgetting the house specialty: the "Dagmar". Smoked salmon, foie gras, chutneys are also available, as well as teas, oils, salts, truffles, vinegars, and other black rice. In short, everything to cook like a chef! But many decorative objects are also proposed.

Facing the bridge, the shop that opens very early in the morning offers its breads, chocolates, pastries, sandwiches and cakes and pancakes!

This cellar located just at the entrance of the city center, close to the bridge over the Yonne river, offers many references: local wines of course, but not only. Champagnes too, and a nice offer of champagne and spirits. But what we like is also the very nice setting, all in woodwork, magnificent and warm. The ceiling is covered with imposing exposed beams, and the spirits are all presented and sold in wooden furniture that evokes the famous crates. A beautiful place that is really worth a visit!

Over the last few years, Joigny's historic center has been enriched by the addition of a beautiful boutique that lives up to its name. Where coffee is king! Some twenty varieties from South America, Asia, Italy, India and even Tanzania and Papua New Guinea are on offer. Also available are teas and infusions, artisanal confectionery, spices, and a host of regional products from small producers. Foie gras, salmon rillettes, duck confits, as well as delicious jams and honeys from the Yonne region... in short, you're spoilt for choice!
