N°31 July 2012 Bourgognes International Traceability And N°31 July 2012 Bourgognes International Burgundy starts its Plan Amplitude 2015 with the aim of becoming the worldwide example of Grands Vins made through sustainable viticulture. “Bourgognes International”: information bulletin on Burgundy wines, intended for wine sellers. Issued five times per year. Traceability and checks Wine is one of the most controlled products in the world, from production to the consumer including of course its transformation, marketing, distribution, communication and consumption. Alongside the State services (fraud, customs, etc.), other structures now also have to carry out checks within the sector. This is the case for the Advocacy and Management Organisations (ODG) or inspection bodies, which ensure that each appellation observes its specifications. The net has been gradually closing in over time and is today very tight. This system ensures that those who try to escape the net are found out very quickly. From this point of view, the profession has an unambiguous position. Its activities respect the regulatory texts, which cover its practices. And for this reason, the Burgundy wine sector has joined proceedings as a civil party in the Labouré-Roi case. The Burgundy Wine Board (BIVB) wants to find out more about the case to allow it to better carry out its mission of promoting and defending the reputation of Burgundy wines. For the vast majority of Burgundy’s producers and merchants, integrity is an essential value. And they confirm this by the presence of their signature on their bottles. Indicators Winery sales +1.5% by volume (total for 8 months of campaign: August 2011 – March 2012 / August 2010 – March 2011) French supermarket sales +1.9% by volume +3.9% by value (total for 12 months February 2012/February 2011) Exports +7.8% by volume +26.2% by value (first quarter 2012 / 2011) VOLUME VALUE World +7.8% +26,2% USA +8.6% +38.7% United Kingdom -1.5% +17.2% Belgium +5.2% -4.9% Japan +21.4% +28.5% Germany -4% +8.6% Netherlands +5.4% +11% Canada -6.1% -4.3% Denmark +20.8% +19.9% Sweden +41.8% +44.9% Switzerland +25.3% +78.2% Taiwan +25.5% +42.3% Singapore +29.6% -16% Australia +75.2% +83.2% Hong Kong +15.3% +86.5% China +18.7% +103.8% Ireland +10.4% +12% Winery sales return to a decent level at the beginning of the campaign Over the first seven months of the 2011-2012 campaign (August-February), winery sales (bulk and bottles, all vintages) grew by 2% compared to the first seven months of the previous campaign. Winery sales have therefore almost returned to the record level of the 2006 campaign, with 956, 000 hl leaving the storehouse. This performance is predominantly down to Crémant de Bourgogne, with some 120,000 hl leaving the storehouse after just seven months of the campaign. The low availability for this appellation during the previous two campaigns seems to have boosted demand. Red wine sales also seem to be up compared to the last three campaigns (+2.6% compared to 2010), under the impact of the Regional and Village AOCs from the Côte de Nuits. However, they have not returned to the level of the previous campaigns. The volume of white wines leaving the stores has fallen slightly over one year (-0.6%), but remains relatively high, sustained by the Mâconnais (Regional and Village) and the Village appellations of the Côte de Beaune and the Côte de Nuits. The wines from the Côte Chalonnaise and the appellations Chablis 1er Cru and Chablis Grand cru are the most affected by the decline in this colour. EXPORT - Sales of Burgundy wine continue to grow in 2012 On the export markets, 2012 began under the same good auspices as 2011 for Burgundy wines, with an excellent first quarter. Despite the difficult economic environment, the year 2011 allowed Burgundy to continue the recovery of its exports, particularly in terms of revenues (+16.5% by value compared to 2010). It has therefore been able to cancel out some of the losses recorded during the crisis (2008/2009). Exports during the first quarter of 2012 are still up 8% by volume compared to the same period in 2011, with 19.4 million bottles (i.e. 1.4 additional units). Value is growing even further, with sales growing 26% by value. Sales of white wines (+5% by volume over one year) continue to grow, just like red wines (+6%). The large majority of Burgundy’s markets are heading upwards, but the strong increase in value is predominantly attributable to the US, Swiss and Chinese/Hong Kong markets (where revenues have doubled again in three months). Although the UK has grown in terms of revenues (but not by volume: -1.5%), it has been overtaken in these few months by the USA, at the top of Burgundy's list, and has been caught up by Japan. Internet: the Burgundy wines website available on mobile phones Take your encyclopaedia of Burgundy wines with you wherever you go, without breaking your back! The www.burgundy-wines.fr website is now available in a mobile version. Make sure you take a look before the holidays. Since the beginning of May, the Burgundy Wine Board (BIVB) has provided a mobile version of its information website. Extremely practical when you want to find the name of a producer open to the public, information on an appellation, information on food and wine pairing, etc. It is a must-have for stays or just stopovers on your way to your holidays. By typing www.burgundy-wines.fr into your telephone, you will automatically be directed to this version (French/English). Internet: spotlight on the Climats of the Burgundy vineyard For those who know their appellations like the back of their hand or for those who want to understand exactly what the Climats are, that we hear so much about in Burgundy, new applications on the Burgundy wines website will allow them to learn more. In the section “At the heart of the appellations” of the site www.vins-bourgogne.fr, users can now enter the name of a Climat, or a lieu-dit, in a search engine. A page will appear dedicated to the appellation to which it is linked, illustrated by a 360° view of the vineyard. The appellation sheet presents the character of the wines, advice from wine-waiters on food and wine pairing and a lot of other information (surface area, production, history, etc.). A particularly instructive innovation is the map (signed by Jean-Charles Servant and Sylvain Pitiot) allowing users to visualise the situation of the Climat in question: Precise boundaries, contours, position in the hierarchy, etc. Sound files help users pronounce the name of the appellation, which is essential given the subtleties of Burgundy pronunciation (for example, check Fixin, Auxey-Duresses, Montrachet, etc.) The last part of the page provides the list and contact details of the producers of the appellation. Shop: for the ladies, a "Burgundy” bracelet Fine, elegant and subtle, Burgundy wines are popular with women. And they can now wear a bracelet showing their favourite wines. Its red leather strap and its 100% silk tie with an orange motif make it a very refined product. This bracelet combines ethics and aesthetics as it is entirely French made. Its high-quality case is environmentally friendly. So gentlemen, don’t wait any longer: treat the lady in your life to this pretty gift. Show her that you too have taste! The bracelet is available for 26.30 euros (incl.tax) from the Burgundy wine shop on line (www.burgundy-wines.fr). USA: the Society of Wine Educators honours Burgundy The Society of Wine Educators* puts Burgundy at centre stage. In partnership with the Burgundy Wine Board (BIVB), it will organise a seminar on Burgundy wines in San Mateo, California, on 25 July. In particular, this event will focus on Burgundy’s “Climats” and “lieux-dits”, with a tasting of eight wines. It will be led by Shelby Ledgerwood, official Burgundy wines instructor. Around sixty members of the trade are expected to attend. *Founded in 1974, the Society of Wine Educators is a non-profit organisation whose mission is to advance wine education through professional development and certification. Its programmes confer certifications to professionals and individuals. The Society of Wine Educators is made up of 350 Certified Wine Educators. The Burgundy wine sector focuses on sustainable development As part of the implementation of its “Bourgognes Amplitude 2015” plan, the Burgundy Wine Board (BIVB) launched its sustainable development assessment at the end of 2011. At the end of March, the BIVB presented the results of this work, encouraging some sixty participants and partners of the sector to implement action plans. The assessment carried out from October 2011 to March 2012 has allowed the sector to ascertain the strengths and weaknesses of the Burgundy vineyard. Many examples already illustrate its dynamism in this field: a reduction in phytosanitary treatments was recorded over recent years, 85% of effluents from the cellars are now treated. 14 collective washing areas are in place and just as many are being studied (figures from the chambers of agriculture). Not forgetting the innumerable individual initiatives conducted by the estates, groups of estates or caves cooperative. From this assessment and from studying various other vineyards, future action plans are already coming together. The BIVB will draw up an action plan which will be put to a vote during its next General Meeting (4 July), so that it can be applied as quickly as possible. The caves cooperative of Burgundy and Beaujolais launch the “Coteaux Bourguignons” appellation On 17 May 2012, 27 caves cooperative of the burgundy and Beaujolais unveiled their “Coteaux Bourguignons”, a new appellation which links Burgundy and Beaujolais.

  • Chardonnay the Versatile Grape Chardonnay History
    Chardonnay The Versatile Grape Chardonnay History • Originating in the Burgundy region, has been grown in France for at least 1,200 years. • Chardonnay is believed to have been named after a village of the same name in the French Mâconnais area in southern Burgundy. It comes from the Latin cardonaccum, meaning “place full of thistles.” • Chardonnay is a genetic cross between Pinot Noir and Gouais Blanc, an obscure grape variety believed to have originated in Croatia, and transported to France by the Romans. • Chardonnay is probably made into more different styles of wine than any other grape. A White Wine That Breaks the Rules of White Wine Most White Wine… Chardonnay… • Contains residual sugar for a hint • Usually fermented bone dry. of sweetness. • Sometimes put through malolactic • Malolactic fermentation is avoided fermentation to reduce acidity and to bring out fruit flavor and enhance buttery qualities. freshness. • Often aged in oak barrels. • Aged in stainless steel tanks. Fun Facts & Trivia • Chardonnay is believed to be the second biggest white grape grown world-wide, when measured by acreage. In first place is ‘Airén’, a fairly obscure white grape grown extensively in central Spain. Airen is grown without irrigation in a very dry region, so vines are spaced far apart, and yields are very low. If measured by tonnage or bottles produced, Chardonnay would be the leader by far. • Chardonnay has been grown in Italy for a long time (although often confused with Pinot Blanc). In 2000, it was Italy’s 4th most widely planted white grape variety! • Gouais Blanc, one of the parents of Chardonnay, is sometimes referred to as the “Casanova” of grape varieties.

  • Saumur-Champigny Rouge | © ALLIANCE LOIRE | Design Vin.Co PEWHJE
    Saumur-Champigny Rouge AOP Saumur-Champigny, Vallée de la Loire et Centre, France Refined blended wines signed by our cellar masters, expressing their personalities, sensitivities and creativities. THE WINE "Originally from Burgundy, I was born in 1971 in Auxerre. My passion for wine was born at the age of 16, while travelling the Chablis wine route. A few years later, with a degree in oenology from the University of Dijon in my pocket, I went abroad (Oregon, South Africa, Argentina, Chile) for two years to discover the diversity of grape varieties and wine-making techniques. Back in France, I settled in the Anjou-Saumur region, which attracted me for its viticultural potential, and I will never leave it. Today, I work at the Cave de Saumur, since 2002, and I seek to create fruity and delicate wines, attractive to all, but which will reveal, through their complexity, a multitude of sensations on the nose and in the mouth. " Eric LAURENT, cellar master at the Cave de Saumur IN THE VINEYARD Heating of the harvest on a small part of the grapes bringing aromatic intensity and sweetness. VINIFICATION Harvesting of grapes selected for their fresh fruit and ripe fruit aromatic profiles. Separate vinification adapted to each profile to exacerbate the organoleptic qualities of the grapes: cold pre-fermentation maceration and limited extraction for the fresh fruit profile bringing aromatic intensity. Subtle blending of the vintages highlighting a beautiful aromatic complexity. AGEING Long maceration and ageing with micro-oxygenation on the ripe fruit profile bringing sustained colour, fatness, melted tannins and toasted notes.

  • Diverse International Pairings for Every Chablis Wines
    Press release – Chablis Diverse International Pairings for Every Chablis Wine Just one grape from one region produces a spectacular range of wines, from Petit Chablis to Chablis Grand Cru, perfect for pairing with seasonal international dishes Ask any sommelier to list the most food-friendly wines, and he or she will invariably name Chablis. An expression of pure Chardonnay centered on the village of the same name, in northern Bourgogne, Chablis’ bright acidity, minerality, and balance all make these wines excellent matches for food. But even though Chablis is made from one grape in one region, its four appellations – Petit Chablis, Chablis, Chablis Premier Cru, and Chablis Grand Cru – create a wide range of wines, from fresh and easy-drinking to rich and complex. Use this array to take a palate journey around the world, pairing international dishes with Chablis wines and hitting the right note every time. A precise combination of factors comes together in Chablis to create some of the world’s most distinctive white wines. Nestled about 2 hours southeast of Paris, Chablis is located at the northern limit of still wine balance, the cool climate combining with the region’s characteristic clay-limestone soils to create the precise balance of acidity, minerality, and full flavor that these wines are known for. Within Chablis’ 13,400 acres, vineyards are classified into four appellations according to location, soil, and slope. In this special region, slight nuances make a remarkable difference in style, from the cooler vineyards of Petit Chablis AOC located mainly around the perimeter of the region and also above the Chablis Grand Cru hills, to the unparalleled exposure and rich, fossil-filled Kimmeridgian soils in the sloped vineyards on the hill above the Serein River known as Chablis Grand Cru AOC.

  • Modelling Chablis Vintage Quality in Response to Inter- Annual Variation in Weather
    Received: 11 May 2021 y Accepted: 12 July 2021 y Published: 31 August 2021 DOI:10.20870/oeno-one.2021.55.3.4709 Modelling Chablis vintage quality in response to inter- annual variation in weather Alex J. Biss1,* and Richard H. Ellis1 1 School of Agriculture, Policy and Development, University of Reading, Whiteknights, PO Box 237, Reading, RG6 6EU, United Kingdom *corresponding author: [email protected] Associate editor: Benjamin Bois ABSTRACT The weather during grape production affects wine quality. Changes in the weather in the Chablis region of France and in the quality of Chablis wines (vintage scores) from 1963 to 2018 were analysed. Chablis wine quality improved over this period, with no Poor vintages after 1991. Summer temperature and sunshine duration both increased progressively between 1963 to 2018 with fewer frost days but no linear change detected in precipitation. Chablis vintage score was modelled as a function of mean temperature from April to September (curvilinear relation, maximum score at 16–17 °C), mean minimum temperature in September (an index of cool nights; negative relation), and total rainfall from June to September (negative relation). This simple three-factor model distinguished between Poor and higher- quality Chablis vintages well, but less so between Good and Excellent vintages. Application of the model to different climate change scenarios (assuming current viticultural and oenological practices) suggests that vintage scores will decline (slightly to substantially, dependent upon emissions scenario) by the 2041 to 2070 period. This reduction in quality would, however, be minimised if the warming of cool nights is less than currently forecast.

    Aldiploma Module Seven New World Wines & Upcoming Classics Module 7 New World Wines & Upcoming Classics New World Classics and Up & Coming Classics The previous six modules of the Aldiploma provided all the groundwork you need to make shopping for your wines easier and more enjoyable than ever. We covered off the basics of different wine types and styles, grape varieties, white and red winemaking, classic wines and also other types of wine. Now that you know what is in your glass and why you like it, we’re going to explore New World wines. We’re also going to take a little look at some up-and-coming wine regions – those less well-known areas that are producing some outstanding wines at incredible value, if you just step off the beaten track… New World Wines The classic winegrowing regions of Europe and the Middle East are often referred to as the ‘Old world’. Essentially anything grown outside of this area is referred to in the wine world as the ‘New world’. New World wines include (but are not limited to) wines from the USA, as well as a lot of countries in the Southern Hemisphere, including Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Argentina and Chile. When they first appeared on the international wine scene, these wines were a breath of fresh air. Firstly, the often sunny, warm climates meant the wines were soft, round, approachable and easy-to-drink but secondly, the labels were easier to understand. These new winemakers chose to label their wines by variety, meaning the grape variety is stated quite clearly on the label whereas for the majority of classic ‘Old World’ wines, they are labelled by region.
