The Romans called the area nostra provincia or ‘our province’ for the none latin speaker, giving the region its name. Situated just to the south of the Alps, it was the first Roman province outside Italy. Wine has been made in this region for at least 2,600 years, ever since the ancient Greeks founded the city of Marseille in 600 BC. Throughout the region’s history, viticulture and winemaking have been influenced by the cultures that have been present in Provence, which include the Ancient Greeks, Romans, Gauls, Catalans and Savoyards. These diverse groups introduced a large variety of grapes to the region, including grape varieties of Greek and Roman origin as well as Spanish, Italian and traditional French wine grapes. Today the region is known predominantly for its rosé wine, though wine critics such as Tom Stevenson believe that region’s best wines are the spicy, full-flavoured red wines. Rosé wine currently accounts for more than half of the production of Provençal wine, with red wine accounting for about a third of the region’s production. White wine is also produced in small quantities throughout the region with the Appellation d’origine contrôlée (AOC) region of Cassis specializing in white wine production. The Côtes de Provence is the largest AOC followed by the Coteaux d’Aix-en-Provence. The Bandol region near Toulon is one of the more internationally recognized Provençal wine regions France : Provence Domaine d’Eole Based on the Coteaux d’Aix en Provence, this small producer has decicated themselves to making top notch wines.

A full and long finish, this is a serious rosé for drinking with the finest Provençal cuisine. A joy to behold! Mas de Longchamp This small estate is based near the mouth of the Rhone, just by the Alpilles national park.

France : Provence Domaine le Clos du Pavillon - Uncertified Price HT Price TTC OFP07 VDP du Var Lady L Rosé 2010 75cl 9,20 11,00€ “Lady L“ is a rosé that can only be described as unique in modern wine making terms. Fourteen separate varieties of grapes are hand harvested, separately vinified and then carefully blended to make a wine of incredible complexity and depth of flavour. Layers of fruit, which evolve in the glass over allowing each mouthful to be a new discovery. The domain’s tiny production of less than 5000 bottles each year mean this wine is of limited availability. Domaine de la Sauveuse BFP01 AOC Côtes de Provence Blanc Château de la Sauveuse 2011 7,94 9,50 This oak aged Rolle, gives this sometimes difficult grape a real bonus. Well used oak ageing adds a roundness to this other wise fresh and fruity number. Citrus and honey abound, which makes this a great wine with salad Niçois. A provençal treat. OFP01 AOC Côtes de Provence Rosé Château de la Sauveuse 2011 7,94 9,50 The 2011 is lighter in colour than previous vintages, but the trade mark fruit and minerality we have come to expect from this rosé is still very apparent. A top notch rosé from Puget-Ville. France : Rhone The Rhône wine region in Southern France is situated in the Rhône river valley and produces numerous wines under various Appellation d’origine contrôlée (AOC) designations. The region’s major appellation in production volume is Côtes du Rhône AOC. The Rhône is generally divided into two sub-regions with distinct vinicultural traditions, the Northern Rhône (referred to in French as Rhône septentrional) and the Southern Rhône (in French Rhône méridional). The northern sub-region produces red wines from the Syrah grape, sometimes blended with white wine grapes, and white wines from Marsanne, Roussane and Viognier grapes. The southern sub-region produces an array of red, white and rosé wines, often blends of several grapes such as in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Grignan-les-Adhémar is situtaed in the northern section of the southern Rhône., it was formally known until 2010 as Coteaux du Tricastin. Vacqueyras is also situated in the southern Rhône, with bets wines coming from the slopes around the Montélimar. While many of the region’s wines have higher Syrah (Shiraz) contents, we work with producers using more Grenache, as we believe this adds more elegance to their wines. Rhône wines are great partners to lamb dishes and in the UK are the biggest selling wines in restaurants, due their ablity to match a wide variety of food options. France : Côtes Du Rhône Clos de Caveau - Vacqueyras A superb estate based at the top end of Vacqueyras, the estate is surrounded on three sides by the more famous Gigondas. Using a blend of Grenache and Syrah, owner Henri Bungener, has worked non-stop to improve his wines.

  • Addendum Regarding: the 2021 Certified Specialist of Wine Study Guide, As Published by the Society of Wine Educators
    Addendum regarding: The 2021 Certified Specialist of Wine Study Guide, as published by the Society of Wine Educators This document outlines the substantive changes to the 2021 Study Guide as compared to the 2020 version of the CSW Study Guide. All page numbers reference the 2020 version. Note: Many of our regional wine maps have been updated. The new maps are available on SWE’s blog, Wine, Wit, and Wisdom, at the following address: http://winewitandwisdomswe.com/wine-spirits- maps/swe-wine-maps-2021/ Page 15: The third paragraph under the heading “TCA” has been updated to read as follows: TCA is highly persistent. If it saturates any part of a winery’s environment (barrels, cardboard boxes, or even the winery’s walls), it can even be transferred into wines that are sealed with screw caps or artificial corks. Thankfully, recent technological breakthroughs have shown promise, and some cork producers are predicting the eradication of cork taint in the next few years. In the meantime, while most industry experts agree that the incidence of cork taint has fallen in recent years, an exact figure has not been agreed upon. Current reports of cork taint vary widely, from a low of 1% to a high of 8% of the bottles produced each year. Page 16: the entry for Geranium fault was updated to read as follows: Geranium fault: An odor resembling crushed geranium leaves (which can be overwhelming); normally caused by the metabolism of sorbic acid (derived from potassium sorbate, a preservative) via lactic acid bacteria (as used for malolactic fermentation) Page 22: the entry under the heading “clone” was updated to read as follows: In commercial viticulture, virtually all grape varieties are reproduced via vegetative propagation.

Hand-harvested and all fruit is de-stemmed, natural fermentation takes place at low temperatures, punch downs and pump-overs take place regularly, wine is aged for 6 months to one year in stainless. "This is the only pure Cabernet Sauvignon bottling we consistently stock, and it is not even from the grape’s spiritual home of Bordeaux—it instead hails from the craggy hillsides of Pic Saint-Loup, a top appellation of the Languedoc. Compare the price tag to what’s available from Bordeaux or Napa. Now picture the aristocratic Cabernet Sauvignon at its summer home in the south—a place where it can ditch pretension, soak up the sun, let its hair down, and breathe in the fragrances of the Mediterranean countryside." - Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant ABOUT THE PRODUCER: Château Fontanès Cyriaque Rozier, the highly acclaimed winemaker and vineyard manager at Château La Roque, makes his own wine under the label Château Fontanès in Pic St-Loup in the Languedoc. A charming man with a strong sense of vocation and relentless drive, Cyriaque often works sixteen-hour days between the two domaines.

  • Trade and Terroir. the Political Economy of the World's First Geographical Indications
    Trade and Terroir. The Political Economy of the World’s First Geographical Indications Giulia Meloni 1,2 and Johan Swinnen 1,2,3 1 LICOS Center for Institutions and Economic Performance & Department of Economics University of Leuven (KU Leuven) 2 Centre for European Policy Studies 3 Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies European University Institute Version: August 10, 2018 Abstract The world’s first geographical indications (GIs) were in the wine sector and focused on the delineation of the location of production, the ‘terroirs’: the Burgundy wines in the fifteenth century, the Port wines and Chianti wines in the eighteenth century, and the Champagne wines in the early twentieth century. We analyze the causes for the introduction of these GIs (‘terroirs’) and for changes in their delineation (expansion) later on. Trade played a very important role in the creation of the ‘terroirs’ but the mechanisms through which trade stimulated GIs varied. For the Port and Chianti GIs it was exports to foreign markets (Britain) that were crucial; for Burgundy it was domestic trade to Paris; and for the Champagne GI it was not exports but pressure from wine imports and new wine regions that played a crucial role. For the expansions of the GIs later in history, other factors seem to have been more important. Expansions of the GIs in the years and centuries after their introduction followed (1) major changes in political power; (2) the spread of a new philosophy in liberal and free markets across Europe; (3) and infrastructure investments which opened up markets and made exports cheaper from “new” producers.

  • Femmes De Vin Advancing Champagne
    From La Transmission to Les Fa’Bulleuses: Femmes de Vin Advancing Champagne Researched and Written by Professors Lucia and John Gilbert [email protected] Santa Clara University, Santa Clara, CA 2018 ***DO NOT CITE OR QUOTE WITHOUT ACKNOWLWDGING THE SOURCE*** Why the Champagne Region? This year’s harvest in France’s famous Champagne region promises to be exceptional. Also exceptional may be women’s increased presence in this important wine region, and the femmes de vin who are advancing Champagne. Prompting our visit was learning about two new organizations formed by women. The first is La Transmission, an association of 10 women in Champagne seeking to modernize the industry, co- founded by two prominent women, Anne Malassagne, the fourth-generation co-owner of AR Lenoble, an independent, family-owned champagne house, and Maggie Henriquez, CEO and President of Krug Champagne since 2008. The second is Les Fa’Bulleuses de Champagne, an association of seven young women from independent champagne houses who came together to promote their champagnes, their region, and their know-how as winemakers. We study women winemakers in major wine regions and report on prominent international wine regions such as Champagne where women winemakers and producers are receiving increasing recognition. We were eager to learn more about these two organizations. We also wished to meet those few women currently working as chef de caves in the large champagne houses. Despite the fame of “The Widow Clicquot,”1 Champagne remains traditional with respect to the participation of women in the industry, with relatively few women in leading winemaker and leadership roles.
