Wines of St Emilion Tasting
THE 1er GRAND CRU CLASSÉ (B) WINES OF ST EMILION A TASTING AT ROBERSON WINE THURSDAY NOVEMBER 20th 2008 ST EMILION THE PLACE ST EMILION The beau�ful town and UNESCO world heritage site of St Emilion gives its name to one of the wine world’s most lauded (set of) appella�ons. Situated on the right bank of the Dordogne River, the town is located high on an escapment overlooking the river to the south, Pomerol to the west and the Cotes and other satellite appella�ons (Lussac-St-Emilion and Cotes de Cas�llon etc) on the plains to the north. This large area is fascina�ngly diverse, both in terms of the terroir and the quality of the wines produced across the commune. Merlot is the common denominator for the vast majority of estates, with the variety thriving in the clay rich soils of the region. Cabernet Franc also fares very well and tends to overshadow its more illustrious offspring, Cabernet Sauvignon, which is more at home on the other side of the river. St Emilion has been something of a ba�leground for the terroir debate over recent years. It is a commune that is blessed with a number of dis�nct soil types and topographies, but was also the birthplace of ‘les Ga- ragistes’, a movement that used �ny yields, modern winemaking techniques and lots of new oak to produce wines of class and concentra�on from unheralded vineyard sites. While the debate s�ll rages on the importance of terroir, it is seen by many to be far from coincidental that the top performing estates are situated in the prime loca�ons. -

The Wines of Pomerol with Neal Martin
ROBERSON WINE FINE WINE TASTINGS THE WINES OF POMEROL WITH NEAL MARTIN Thursday 25th November 2010 POMEROL THE COMMUNE Pomerol is the smallest of the great appellations of Bordeaux, but is home to many of the region’s most expensive and sought after wines. While Chateau Petrus is Pomerol’s undoubted star performer, there are many other fantastic estates that make sensational wines from the commune’s 780ha of vines. We are delighted to welcome the Wine Advocate’s Neal Martin to Roberson tonight - Neal is putting the finishing touches to his book on Pomerol and there could be no one better to talk us through the leading estates and their wines. Pomerol is a bit of an anomaly in the Bordeaux wine scene for a number of reasons. First of all, it is small - at 780ha it is about 1/2 the size of the famous Haut-Medoc communes (excepting St Julien at about 1000ha) and just 1/7th the size of next door neighbour St Emilion. It is worth bearing in mind that the Burgundy village of Gevrey-Chambertin has nearly 500ha under vine and with a landscape that is little more than a sea of vines, one could be forgiven for thinking Pomerol should be nestled on the Cote d’Or rather than being back garden to the nearby town of Libourne on Bordeaux’s right bank. It is not just the appellation itself that is relatively small, but also the estates within it. Of the 10 properties that we will taste from tonight, the largest is just 24ha in size (smaller than Domaine de la Romanée-Conti) and half of them are under 10ha. -

Michel Rolland's Argentinean Winery
Michel Rolland’s YACOCHUYA (0400-00) San Pedro de Yacochuya 2000 Well-known Bordeaux enologist Michel Rolland, who consults for wineries all over the globe, has released the first wines from his Argentinean project, Bodega San Pedro de Yacochuya (pronounced Yak-co-chew-ya). Rolland, known for opulent, modern-style wines such as those from his Pomerol property Château Le Bon-Pasteur, currently consults for Chile's Casa Lapostolle and Argentina's Etchart winery. His work with Etchart (which is owned by the Pernod-Ricard company) brought him into contact with the Cafayate area of Argentina, north of the country's better-known Mendoza wine region. The Etchart family owns a 24-acre vineyard there planted exclusively to Malbec vines, which are an average 60 years old. 1999 was the first vintage of San Pedro de Yacochuya wine, of which there were about 1,665 cases sold mostly through Bordeaux merchants. Praise for the 1999 Yacochuya Robert Parker: The world's most talented oenologist has just released his first premium Argentine red. Called Yacochuya, this 100% old vine (60 years) Malbec comes from a mountainside vineyard situated at 2,470 meters! The 1999 Yacochuya has an opaque purple color, and a sensational bouquet of licorice, blue and blackberry jam intermixed with charcoal and spice. The wine is full-bodied, dense, and thick, with vibrant acidity for definition. This is a stunning Malbec. Anticipated maturity: now-2015. 91 Points – The Wine Advocate #134 (Apr 2001) Wine Spectator: Flashy style, with seductive toast and spice notes over the remarkably supple blackberry and boysenberry flavors. -

Mendoza, Argentina - Michel Rolland Winemaking
Retail Savings $9.99 $15.00 33% 2011 Andelunas Cellars Torrontesproduct-timed-pdf - Mendoza, Argentina - Michel Rolland Winemaking Why We're Drinking It This is where the nectar of the gods comes from, next to the Andes mountains that touch the sky. It’s where heavenly whites nurtured by consulting enologist Michel Rolland (the one and only!) with supreme concentration, structure, and aromatic complexity are born that, if you associate Mendoza with Malbec alone, you’re in for a bright, white surprise. Three things to know: • Beyond Malbec. Though Argentina’s flagship grape has long thrived on its rocky, sundrenched slopes, there's a white counterpoint for the top Argentinian red. Torrontes is known as the Argentina's local favorite white wine, and is marked by its floral aromas, which are distinctive of its membership of the Muscat family. Its aromas are often described as lightly spicy, with the fragrance of white flowers. • The Rolland Factor. With hundreds of clients across 13 countries and monikers like Wall Street Journal’s “The Grape Wizard of Bordeaux,” Rolland’s influence is everywhere. His signature style is known for the forward fruit and oak influence preferred by Robert Parker, along with a commitment to wines that can be drunk young. • Location, location, location: from vineyards situated in Lavalle, in the north of Mendoza, this is a low altitude region with an average temperature higher than the rest of Mendoza, ideal for cultivating Torrontes Riojano vines.The clusters generally bear small-sized berries, and the amount of sunshine they are exposed to is such that their aromatic characteristics are preserved. -
