  • The Ten Crus of Beaujolais
    Tasting Notes ~ The Ten Crus of Beaujolais Saturday 16th November 2013 Accompanied by some saute’ saucissons chez Ecuyer Gordon & Riona Leitch followed by a supper of Coq au Vin de Beaujolais THE APERITIF CLAIRETTE DE DIE TRADITION - comes from Die in the Drome Department in the Rhone Valley. Made with Moscatel grapes by a form of Methode Champenoise - the wine is fermented slowly at low temperatures for several months, then filtered and bottled. Once bottled, the wine starts to warm up and the fermentation process starts again naturally, creating carbon dioxide gas as a by-product, which creates bubbles in the wine. The sediment at the bottom of the bottles is removed by decanting and filtering the wine in a pressurised container to retain the effervescence, and the wine is bottled again in fresh bottles. Wine made by this method must have it stated on the label. (source - Wikipedia) Purchased from CARREFOUR (CALAIS) – about £6.00 bottle, very limited availability in the UK although Manson Fine Wines shipped this to Inverness in the seventies. THE TASTING For those who cannot taste a lot of red wine or take none at all there is a Beaujolais Blanc for your enjoyment. This will also be the first wine of the tasting The tasting will really test our senses in every respect. It is a tasting that would normally be conducted only by professionals in the trade as it embraces 10 red wines from the same grape – and only one grape – the Gamay – We will be tasting consecutive vintages from neighbouring sub-areas, maybe even neighbouring vineyards.
