The Champagne region, an hour’s drive east of Paris, is one of France’s most comfortably confident, devoted to producing one particular luxury product . The Champenois - the inhabitants of Reims, Épernay and the villages which dot the rolling coun- tryside that looks like, and once was, a continuation of the English South Downs - know that only they can produce the world’s pre-eminent sparkling wine . It is the combination of being as far north as vines can be grown commercially in France; a high proportion of chalky soils which encourage the roots to burrow as far as a regular but by no means generous supply of water; no shortage of cool, dark, humid cellars; and a head start in the public relations game of establishing champagne as the wine of celebration and glamour that makes Champagne unique . 6 Champagne GROWER PRODUCER NON-VINTAGE ALFRED GRATIEN BRUT CUVÉE PARADIS | 320 BÉRÊCHE BRUT NATURE ‘LES BEAUX REGARDS’ | 134 CATTIER BRUT BLANC DE NOIRS | 285 CHARTOGNE-TAILLET BRUT CUVEE ST .

The first writing of the varietal described it as capable of making the best wine and it seems opinions have changed little since . So powerful is the C-word on a wine label that, like Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay has virtually no synonyms - although in Styria in southern Austria some winemakers persist with the tradition of calling it Morillon . In the 1980s something extremely important to the history of wine happened: ‘Chardonnay’ became a name more familiar to the world’s wine buyers than any of the geographically-named wines this vine variety had for centuries produced, such as Chablis, Corton-Charlemagne, or Montrachet . Making quality chardonnay seems almost a rite of passage in both historical and emerging wine regions, where winemakers have been trying to emulate the power, elegance and complexity the varietal captures in Burgundy, its historical home and region of its greatest expression . 10 Chardonnay CHABLIS DOMAINE SERVIN ‘BUTTEAUX’ 1ER CRU 2015 | 96 DOMAINE VOCORET ET FILS ‘LES CLOS’ GRAND CRU 2014 | 208 J .

  • Brachetto D'acqui DOCG | 75 Cl
    Piemonte Guasti Clemente Brachetto d'Acqui DOCG | 75 cl Brachetto is an aromatic red Italian wine grape variety grown predominantly in the Piedmont region of northwest Italy. At one time the grape was thought to be related to the French wine grape Braquet, but recent thought among ampelographers is that the two are distinct varieties. In Italy’s region of Piedmont the grape is somewhat more widespread: production mostly falling within an area of the provinces of Asti and Alessandria between the rivers Bormida and Belbo plus various parts of the province of Cuneo. The most notable wine here is the red Brachetto d'Acqui Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita (DOCG) which is mainly known in the fully sparkling version. DENOMINATION: Brachetto d'Acqui DOCG GRAPES: 100% Brachetto REGION: Vineyards are situated in the area of Mombaruzzo. SOIL COMPOSITION: Chalky and clay soil. VINE TRAINING SYSTEM: Simple Guyot HARVEST: Manual harvest of the grapes between the end of August and the beginning of September. PRESSING: Soft pressing of the grapes. VINIFICATION: Slow fermentation of the must and sparkling process in autoclave. AGEING: The wine stays in the autoclave for at least two months and then it is cold fill bottled. ALCOHOL: 6.50 % vol TASTING NOTES: Lively, medium-intense, ruby-red colour. Wide-ranging nose and with an aromatic touch that distinguishes it, very delicate. Best served at a temperature of 10-12°C. FOOD PAIRING: At the end of the meal it pairs with sweets and fruit, excellent with strawberries. Code: GS BRACH Distribuito da: Viver Distribuzione S.r.l.

The visit began with a tour of several Languedoc vignerons. This area is considered by many to be the most innovative in France, producing soft rustic red blends based on several of the traditional Mediterranean grapes used in the southern Rhône valley, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Grenache and/or Carignan. The vin de pays wines are far less traditional and seem to dominate. The producers we visited were not concerned with not bottling under AOC appellation labels. The soils of the region vary notably from alluvial near the sea to more chalk, gravel and limestone. Many of the better vineyards, such as Mas de Daumas Gassac, that we visited are planted not on the plain but on relatively high, cool plateaus. Institut Coopératif du Vin (ICV).

  • 2016 Like a Family Reunion, This Wine Brings Together the Members of One Single Line of Descent, and One Single Cistercian Terro
    BOURGOGNE PINOT NOIR “TERRES DE FAMILLE” 2016 Like a family reunion, this wine brings together the members of one single line of descent, and one single Cistercian terroir. The varietal – Pinot Noir – has been grown here for almost 700 years. One-third of the grapes comes from our vines on the Côte de Nuits, and two-thirds from the Côte de Beaune – divine proportions for a divine wine. HISTORY The aristocratic and sophisticated Pinot Noir grape gives the vines their blue blood, and is behind some of the most dazzling red wines ever made. Cited for the first time in 1375, the name has since then been inextricably linked to the history of Burgundy wine. The red wines made here from the Pinot Noir grape are the very the soul of their Burgundy birthplace. And it is here where they flourish best. The Pinot Noir grape is delicate and complex. It doesn’t grow as well anywhere else, and according to the wine writer Jancis Robinson, remains “jealously envied” on its home soil in Burgundy. Surface area : 4.6814 ha PLOTS LE TROUSSEAU Surface area: 0.1302 ha Plantation : 1959/60 LES CROTOTS Surface area: 0.1782 hectares Geographical location: Commune of Gilly-lès-Citeaux Aspect: South Planted: 1971/1972, 1972/1973, 1974/1975 Situation: This is the Pinot Noir grape with all its ardor and delicacy, its vitality and sensitivity, its authenticity, thanks to these plots in Gilly-lès-Cîteaux, a stone’s throw from Le Clos de Vougeot and our Vougeot vines, combined with a touch of rusticity from the Côte de Beaune.

  • Welcome to Ian & Juliet's Gourmet Companion to The
    WELCOME TO IAN & JULIET’S GOURMET COMPANION TO THE CENTENARY TOUR DE FRANCE 2013 Thanks to the kind offices of Aixcentric – our favourite local blog - we can bring you all the details behind our tour de force on this year’s Tour de France. This was an idea we had back in 2009, when for the first time the Tour de France stopped overnight at nearby Brignoles. We did a last minute job of concocting a food and wine companion to that Tour, just for our own consumption and have been considering repeating it on a larger scale, ever since. And this year is the obvious choice: It’s the centenary. It’s the first time for ages it’s being held JUST in France. We’ve got some great British cyclists competing. And plenty of stages are taking place in the south, where we know the food and wine only too well…. So let’s get on with it – bonne route, et bon appétit! A GUIDE TO THE CONTENTS OF OUR TOUR OF THE TOUR. PART ONE. Pages 2-5. The Appetiser. A summary of the tour, day by day, with a brief description of our matched foods and wine. PART TWO. Page 6. The Entrée. A brief history of the Tour PART THREE. Pages 7 – 36. La Grande Bouffe. All the details on the wines and foods, including recipes, so you can eat and drink alongside us, Bradley Wiggins et al, from 29th June to 21st July. So, let’s start the bikes rolling, with PART ONE. The Day-to-Day summary: CORSICA June 29th Porto Vecchio – Bastia, 212 k’s: The port of Bastia is between the oldest appellation in Corsica – Patrimonio - and Cap Corse, both overlooking the sea, and giving great whites as well as reds, and muscats too.
