Sillery

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sillery can refer to:

• the commune called Sillery in the Marne département, in France

• the district (formerly City) of Sillery, now part of Quebec City, in Canada

• one of several notable figures from French history, including Noël Brûlart de Sillery after whom the district in Quebec is named.

• In literature, Sillery generally refers to the wine from the French commune; it is the wine that Jack Aubrey habitually serves at parties, while Longfellow's poem Catawba Wine contains this stanza:

Very good in its way

Is the Verzenay,

Or the Sillery soft and creamy;

But Catawba wine

Has a taste more divine,

More dulcet, delicious, and dreamy.
