For us, Tết Nguyên Đán is far more than just a holiday. It is a moment for reflection, gratitude, and exchanging the finest gestures. A Tet Gift 2026 must transcend mere cost; it must be an item carrying a message of Profound Appreciation (Trân Quý). It needs to be sophisticated enough for the ancestral altar, distinguished enough for business partners, and, most importantly, delightful enough to pour and share in the sacred moment of Giao Thừa (Vietnamese New Year’s Eve).
We choose L’Âme d’Haut Meyreau because it strikes this perfect balance. It is an authentic Bordeaux—unpretentious, yet possessing a soul, a quality deeply valued in Vietnamese culture
L’Âme d’Haut Meyreau: Harmonious Flavor for the Vietnamese Tết Table
In Bordeaux, wine is made for the table, to accompany a meal, to facilitate conversation. In Vietnam, the Tết feast (mâm cỗ Tết) boasts a wonderful diversity: from the delicate flavor of boiled chicken, the richness of caramelized pork (thịt kho), to the gentle acidity of pickled onions (dưa hành).
A wine that is too heavy, or overly tannic, would utterly destroy this harmony.
The Required Elegance: The L’Âme d’Haut Meyreau offers precisely what is needed. It presents a soft structure (Medium Body) and well-rounded tannins. Its fruit profile is bright, fresh, and never overpowering. It glides across the palate gently and subtly, without dominating the food's flavors. Crucially, it helps to 'cleanse' the palate—a key factor for an extended reunion dinner.
The Story: This bottle carries the 200-year legacy of Château Haut-Meyreau. Just as we preserve the traditional Bánh Chưng recipe across generations, this winery safeguards its land and traditions (demonstrated by the HVE certification). This shared commitment to heritage also offers a silent toast to prosperity and enduring longevity through the years."
Tet Gift 2026
A Bordeaux wine with clear origins and consistent quality, like L’Âme d’Haut Meyreau, is a safe and meaningful choice. It doesn't need to be a First Growth to signify prestige; it requires reliability and elegance in design. To give a wine that is easy to drink and appreciate is to offer comfort, not a test of wine knowledge.
Let this bottle be a quiet yet sincere companion, connecting the stories shared at the beginning of Spring, honoring our traditions
