    PREVIEWCOPY Introduction Previewing this guidebook? If you are previewing this guidebook in advance of purchase, please check out our enhanced preview, which will give you a deeper look at this guidebook. Wine guides for the ultra curious, Approach Guides take an in-depth look at a wine region’s grapes, appellations and vintages to help you discover wines that meet your preferences. The Loire Valley — featuring a compelling line-up of distinctive grape varieties, high quality winemaking and large production volumes — is home to some of France’s most impressive wines. Nevertheless, it remains largely overlooked by the international wine drinking public. This makes the region a treasure trove of exceptional values, just waiting to be discovered. What’s in this guidebook • Grape varieties. We describe the Loire’s primary red and white grape varieties and where they reach their highest expressions. • Vintage ratings. We offer a straightforward vintage ratings table, which affords high-level insight into the best and most challenging years for wine production. • A Loire Valley wine label. We explain what to look for on a Loire Valley wine label and what it tells you about what’s in the bottle. • Map and appellation profiles. Leveraging our map of the region, we provide detailed pro- files of appellations from all five of the Loire’s sub-regions (running from west to east): Pays Nantais, Anjou, Saumur, Touraine and Central Vineyards. For each appellation, we describe the prevailing terroir, the types of wine produced and what makes them distinctive. • A distinctive approach. This guidebook’s approach is unique: rather than tell you what specific bottle of wine to order by providing individual bottle reviews, it gives the information you need to make informed wine choices on any list.
  • DOMAINE JEAN VESSELLE Brut 'Oeil De Perdrix'

    DOMAINE JEAN VESSELLE Brut 'Oeil De Perdrix'

    Wine Facts DOMAINE JEAN VESSELLE Brut ‘Oeil de Perdrix’ The family’s collection of top terroirs and generations of leadership in championing Pinot Noir are what make wines from Domaine Vesselle such eloquent examples of Blanc de Noirs Champagnes. For nearly 300 years, the Vesselle family has been tilling the chalky soils of Bouzy and cultivating some of the village’s best-placed Pinot Noir vines. Wines here combine a classic Champagne elegance with the signature Bouzy power, especially in wines such as the estate’s ‘Oeil de Perdrix.’ This unique rosé is a taste of Champagne history, a style of wine long forgotten before winemaker Delphine Vesselle—to honor the traditions of her Champagne-making grandparents—brought it back with great success. WINERY: Domaine Jean Vesselle WINEMAKERS: Delphine and David Vesselle ESTABLISHED: 1800s REGION: FRANCE • Champagne • Bouzy APPELLATION: Champagne AOC BLEND: 100% Pinot Noir VINEYARDS: Estate vineyards are located in and around the village of Bouzy. Soils are the classic, chalky terroir of the Montagne de Reims. AGE OF VINES: 15-30 years WINEMAKING: Hand-harvested. Grapes are macerated briefly (less than 24 hours) for color then pressed; fermented on indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks. Aged for three years in bottle. Dosage 6 grams/L. TASTING IMPRESSIONS: Aromas of red roses, orange zest, white pepper, light herbs. Medium-bodied yet light on the tongue; elegant, silky and balanced. Red berries, stone fruits, peppery finish. PAIRING SUGGESTIONS: As an aperitif or throughout a meal; its acidic balance and red-wine body make it endlessly flexible at the table 1601 Martin Luther King Jr.

    IDEALWINE UPDATE: WHITE MAGIC 16Th December, 2019 by Angélique De Lencquesaing

    Thedrinksbusiness.com Angélique de Lencquesaing 16/12/2019 IDEALWINE UPDATE: WHITE MAGIC 16th December, 2019 by Angélique de Lencquesaing Domaine Leflaive, a pioneer of biodynamics, sits at the top echelon of Burgundy’s hierarchy, its ethereal Chardonnays considered some of the finest white wines in the world. Domaine Leflaive is the top estate in Puligny-Montrachet in the Côte de Beaune. Its history stretches back to the 16th century, although it was Joseph Leflaive’s arrival in 1905 that raised the profile of the domaine’s wines beyond French borders. Having acquired parcels in exceptional climats ravaged by the phylloxera crisis, he worked extensively to replant and renovate his vineyards, grafting his Chardonnay vines onto selected phylloxera-resistant rootstocks. Joseph Leflaive’s sons, Vincent and Joséph-Régis, ran the domaine from 1953 right up until the early 1990s. It was, however, under the guidance of the late Anne-Claude Leflaive between 1990 and 2015, that Domaine Leflaive reached the top of Burgundian hierarchy. So much so that in 2014, she was named Winemaker’s Winemaker by db and the Institute of Masters of Wine. Along with Lalou Bize-Leroy, Anne-Claude was an early adopter of biodynamic viticulture, a system that supports a holistic vision of the vineyards, strictly excluding the use of all chemical products, and taking into consideration the soil, plant and aerial environment as a whole. On her arrival, Anne-Claude’s priority was to restore vineyard health after decades of chemical use. She set about analysing microbial activity in the soil, initially experimenting with biodynamic treatments on one hectare.

    DOMAINE LEFLAIVE 2017 VINTAGE, EN PRIMEUR “My Recommendation Is to Open a Bottle at Dinner and Drink It for Breakfast

    DOMAINE LEFLAIVE 2017 VINTAGE, EN PRIMEUR “My recommendation is to open a bottle at dinner and drink it for breakfast... if I am really nice to my friends, I open a bottle in the morning.” Brice de La Morandière On when to drink the Domaine’s wines INTRODUCTION We arrived at Domaine Leflaive’s new barrel cellar in the evening, as dusk was falling on the quiet streets of Puligny- Montrachet. Brice de La Morandière was waiting for us, sitting on a bench in the cellar’s small courtyard, which was a picture of tranquillity. It is rather magical tasting in a deserted, dimly lit cellar. We assembled in a loose semi-circle at the end of a row of barrels: Brice, Régisseur Pierre Vincent, Adam, Will Monroe and I. 4 5 This is Pierre Vincent’s first full vintage at the helm of the Domaine’s winemaking. He is rightly mindful of the weight of history here, but seems refreshingly open to innovation. The Domaine has made some not-insignificant changes over the past few years, including moving to Diam technical corks, as of the 2014 vintage. The challenge here was to put to bed definitively the spectre of so-called premature oxidation that, as Brice quite openly acknowledges, has for a couple of decades now hung over many producers, most visibly, although not exclusively, of white Burgundy. In 2015, a new press and new decanting tanks were purchased. Recent cellar innovations include separate handling of the press juice and totally revised racking and bottling processes. As of the 2014 vintage, all shipments have used e-Provenance® technology to record temperature and humidity during transport.

    250 Years Since the First Rosé Champagne

    250 years since the first rosé champagne Ruinart, the first established Champagne House, founded in 1729, has been shipping rosé champagne since 1764. The House’s account book is the proof. On 14 March 1764, it is written that there was a shipment of «a basket of 120 bottles, 60 bottles of which were Oeil de Perdrix». What is the connection between birds of the Gallinaceae family and the early history of the oldest Champagne House? In fact, the term «Oeil de Perdrix» means a colour which could be described as a delicate pink with coppery reflections. There’s no longer any doubt. Ruinart shipped its first bottles of rosé champagne in 1764. 250 years : such a fabulous anniversary in so many ways, an historic date which links Ruinart forever to the history of champagne. The account books, various correspondence and the accounts of the heads of the House have allowed us to discover a multitude of varieties and oenological trials in search of taste, flavour and the ideal colour. What was in all probability a rosé from maceration at the beginning would then evolve to become a blended rosé. Ruinart explored various ways of obtaining a coloured champagne, for example by using the colouring of some elderberries. The palette of colours for these wines was very large. There were a number of terms to define them in French: roset, oeil de perdrix, rozet, paillé (straw), clairet (pale wine) and even cerise (cherry). Towards the end of the 18th century, the expression «Oeil de Perdrix» disappeared in favour of names closer to those we use: rozet and then rosé.
