  • Exporting Wine to the Belgian Market 1. Product Description
    Exporting wine to the Belgian market Last updated: 23 November 2016 Due to minor domestic production, Belgium imports most of its wine. Southern European wine producers have a strong market position but Flanders, the Dutch-speaking part of Belgium, is more open to New World wines. Large retailers have a strong bargaining position. If developing country exporters are not able to supply supermarkets, they need to emphasise their Unique Selling Point (USP) and target the specialist retailer segment. Sparkling wine is currently very popular and presents opportunities to developing country exporters. Contents of this page 1. Product Description 2. What is the demand for wine in Belgium? 3. Which trends offer opportunities on the Belgian wine market? 4. With which requirements should wine comply to be allowed on the Belgian market? 5.

  • From Russia with Corks TASTING ARTICLES RUSSIA a Clutch of Russian Wines Turned out to Be Rather Impressive
    From Russia with corks TASTING ARTICLES RUSSIA A clutch of Russian wines turned out to be rather impressive. A Belgian wine importer contacted me to suggest I tasted some Russian wines he is currently importing into Europe. Dimitri Bonte's company Start2taste is based in Waregem. Last November he imported into Europe what he claims is the first container of wines from the Krasnodar region on the Black Sea to the east of Crimea (see this map). This was the region I visited back in 2009 and I seem to remember some muttering about incomers. (See, for instance, Russian wine gets real.) According to Bonte, the wines have been going down well in Belgium and are evidence of a new generation of wine producers in this, the most vine-friendly corner of Russia. I put on my most sceptical armour before tasting this case of a dozen samples from two producers, Burnier and Lefkadia, but I must say I was most agreeably surprised, as you will see from the tasting notes below. And not only did the wines taste good, some of them, particularly those from Lefkadia, also looked particularly good. Some of the reds are above right, some whites, with the perfect wine glass plus condensation, below. Lefkadia was established in the village of Moldavanskoe in 2006 by Mikhail I Nikolaev, who visited the region two years earlier and thought it looked just like Tuscany. Many tests and analyses of the local clay, limestone and sand later he planted vines and built a winery. He claims his technique of chilling grapes to between 4 and 8 ˚C before pressing and gravity-flow winery are unique in Russia.

  • Product Sheet Chateau Le Rey Les Rocheuses
    ^ CASTILLON CÔTES DE BORDEAUX The continuous property of 12 hectares is situated on a clay-limestone terroir on the right bank of the Dordogne. It occupies a privileged position on the plateau of Sainte-Colombe, little town East of Saint-Emilion, full of history with the remains of a Roman villa and its mosaics, as well as a classified Romanesque church from the 12th century. This very ancient property belonged to the Roque family since the Louis XIII period, shared many times and always reconstituted. The last descendant of this family Philippe Le Roy coming from a long ancestry of winemakers and barrel carpenters will be the one that will pass on the baton. Château Le Rey was bought by a trio of friends in 2016; Peter Kwok (Hong Kong, Château Tour Saint Christophe, Château Haut-Brisson, Château La Patache, Enclos Tourmaline), Philippe Lam- brecht (owner of the great Belgian wine import company, Wijnhandel de Brabandere, and owner of Bodega Mas Alta in Priorat) and Jean-Christophe Meyrou (Bordeaux, Director of Vignobles K). The average age of the vines is 30 years and the conduct of the vineyard follows the philosophy of our other properties in order to meet the environmental balance. Today two cuvées are produced at Château Le Rey, Les Argileuses and Les Rocheuses. These two wines do not represent as usual in Bordeaux first and second label, but are made like in Burgundy with a terroir philosophy. Les Argileuses are produced from a green and blue clay terroir and Les Rocheuses from 100% limestone terroir.
