What do reviewers say about Le Boise and Chene?
Built for the man who's been to the cellar before the guests arrive. The smoke doesn't shout, it lingers in the corner of a room you've already left. Worth every cent for that quiet exit.Le Boise
This one divides people for exactly the right reasons. The opening is green, astringent, almost aggressive. But beneath that sharpness sits oak and rum, warm, sophisticated, old-world.Chene
