Proxies Pétanque

A collaboration between Proxies X Chef Dominique Crenn.

Crenn is the chef and owner of Atelier Crenn in San Francisco—and the first and only female chef in the U.S. to have earned three Michelin stars. Also among her accolades: A James Beard Foundation Award and multiple nods from World’s 50 Best Restaurants. 

Named for the tension of intention and exuberance prevalent in Dominique’s favored game of Pétanque, this blend’s linear backbone—from riesling, verjus and yuzu—is rounded out with floral notes and herbal depth. Underscored by a trio of teas, the midpalate leans into honeysuckle, osmanthus and sage, while makrut lime lingers on the finish, daring you to take another sip.
