THE GLOBAL AVERAGE TEMPERATURE HAS INCREASED BY 0.8°C SINCE PRE-INDUSTRIAL TIMES. THE IMPACT CAN ALREADY BE SEEN IN CHAMPAGNE. CLIMATE CHANGE A REALITY IN THE REGION Over the past 30 years, the three key uni- versal bioclimatic indexes used to monitor Water balance local winegrowing conditions have evolved slightly down as follows: Huglin index rose from 1,565 to 1,800 Cool nights index rose from 9.8°C to 10.4°C Compared with the 30-year baseline average (1961-1990), the temperature has risen by 1.1°C ON AVERAGE. Average rainfall is still 700mm/year. Damage caused by spring frosts has slightly increased despite a drop in the number of frosty nights due to earlier bud burst. The consequences are already visible and are indeed positive for the quality of the musts: Over the past 30 years: - 1,3 g H2SO4/l total acidity Earlier harvests starting 18 days earlier + 0,7 % vol natural alcoholic strength by volume These beneficial effects may well continue if global warming is limited to a 2°C rise. However, the Champagne Region is now exploring ideas that would enable the inherent characteristics of its wines to be preserved in less optimistic climate change scenarios.

  • Olivier Horiot Profile
    Olivier Horiot Profile In the southern-most part of the Champagne region, the Côte des Bar in the Aube department, there is the town of Les Riceys, where the slopes are blessed with the portlandian formation of Kimmeridgian chalk, that same great stuff that is the foundation of the finest Chablis and Sancerre. Except here the idea was to plant Pinot Noir on these chalky slopes, do a long maceration, often using whole bunches, and then age it a few years (at least 3) before release -- not exactly your average deck wine. Olivier Horiot took over the estate of his father Serge in 1999; though it bears his name due to inheritance, his wife Marie is essential to day to day operations and runs the cellar. They immediately started using organic and some biodynamic practices, as well as highlighting specific parcels in the effort of being more terroir-focused. In order to make the Rosé des Riceys, the Horiot do a very strict selection of grapes from two separate sites - en Valingrain and en Barmont - vinifying them separately. The wines start with about 10% of the grapes foot-trodden at the bottom of the cuve, then whole bunches are added. Macerations usually last 5-6 days, with pumping over twice a day. After the wine is racked into older barrels, it remains there for a few years before being bottled without fining or filtration. The Horiot also produce 4 Champagnes: a Blanc de Noir from the en Barmont site named Sève, two blends of multiple parcels, 5 Sens and Métisse, as well as a quirky, unexpected Champagne produced with the Arbane grape, aptly named Arbane.

  • The Second Once in a Lifetime Dinner Two Years Ago We Offered a Unique Dinner and Tasting That, in Retrospect, Certainly Deserved the ‘Once in a Lifetime’ Description
    The Second Once In A Lifetime Dinner Two years ago we offered a unique dinner and tasting that, in retrospect, certainly deserved the ‘Once in A Lifetime’ description. Now we will try to match that experience, returning to Splendido, still the finest dining destination in Toronto, with a new set of rare (and we hope, spectacular) wines. The theme this time will be the First Growths of Bordeaux, primarily from the year 1971 – supplemented by a couple of other First Growths that are a bit younger. The 1971 wines are now 40 years old – past their flush of youth, but will have developed the complexity that only comes with time. The previous year 1970 was the first great ‘modern’ vintage with super-ripe grapes and large production (similar to 1982). The Bordeaux prices leapt upwards and 1971 (which only yielded half the quantity of 1970) fell under the shadow of the 1970’s and was overlooked. But it has always been rated as a ‘very good’ vintage. The food match last time was superb – and we’re working closely with the same team. The food was prepared to support and showcase the wines. No chef egos here – just a superb feeling for the perfect combination of food and wine, using the freshest ingredients. Again we will occupy the private wine cellar. Our 1971 wines are from Château Lafite-Rothschild, Château Mouton Rothschild and Château Cheval Blanc. We will also feature two superb vintages of Château Margaux, 1983 and 1995 – Margaux had underperformed during the 70’s but after an ownership change in 1977 was completely re-vamped and by 1983 was probably the top- ranked of all the first-growths.

  • Innovations Involved in Champagne Production
    Innovations involved in Champagne Production circa 1700 - still, unblended, low alcohol (~9%), low tannin, acidic, darkish rosé (oeil de perdrix) - mild fruity/yeasty flavor (verjus pétillant) - sold in barrels in the spring - derived from crushed grapes & made from the first three pressings today - sparkling, blended, 12.5% EtOH, - low tannin, white, delicate complex - minimally fruity, toasty flavor, - 2nd fermentation in spring, - released $18 m after production - sold bottled - derived from whole grape clusters & primarily from the first pressing Knowledge and conditions ~ 1700 - the role of yeasts and bacteria in fermentation and wine ‘diseases’ unknown; - no means of measuring the sugar content of wine (leading to variability in degree of effervescence) - no tirage - cork closures and availablity of glass bottles just appearing - extensive bottle rupture due to the glass irregularity and inability to sustain the carbon dioxide buildup - occurrence of the “Little Ice Age,” (associated with early and late frosts, and poor grape maturation) - riddling unknown; inefficient disgorging procedures Current procedures - manual harvest (aiming for low EBrix) and EtOH 9–9.5% - slow pressing of whole grape clusters - use of oak as fermentation or maturation cooperage individualistic - malolactic fermentation (reduce excess grape acidity) - maturation and clarification until spring - blending to produce the assemblage - addition of a tirage (sugar, yeast, yeast nutrients, fining agent) - second fermentation (~10 EC) - storage for at least 15

  • Essai De Classement Des Cépages Français En Écogéogroupes Phénotypiques
    ESSAI DE CLASSEMENT DES CÉPAGES FRANÇAIS EN ÉCOGÉOGROUPES PHÉNOTYPIQUES FRENCH GRAPEVINES CLASSED IN PHENOTYPICAL ECOGEOGROUPS ESSAY J. BISSON B.P. 51, 45250 Briare, France Résumé : Les propositions antérieures de structure des cépages français en groupes écogéographiques sont déve- loppées par l'intégration des formes individuelles en unités taxonomiques basées sur la morphologie. Sans que le travail présenté ici puisse être considéré comme certain et définitif, tel quel, il est offert à titre comparatif aux avan- cées de biochimie génétique récemment effectuées. Abstract : Two specialists, NEGRUL (1946) et LEVADOUX (1948) proposed for Europe vine-plants cultiva- ted a classification in natural groups issued from ecogeographical areas relatively closed in their situations and evo- lutions. These ampelographs are complementary in their propositions, Russian for Eastern Europe and French for Western forms. Middle-East is the probable origin of mediterranean viticulture with its vine-varieties then the local wild forms in more septentrional vineyard extensions. After sortotypes or ecogeogroups definitions, anterior structural propositions of French vine-varieties in eco-geo- graphical groups are developped by individual integration forms in taxonomic and morphologic unities. The pre- sent propositions are not immovable nor definitive but as such they may be useful in recent genetic advancements. They can confirm or not some new biochemical diagnosis.

  • Sparkling Wines Class February 2014
    Sparkling Wines Seminar With Nicolay Castro February 20, 2014 France Champagne • Champagne is the premier sparkling wine of France, indeed of the world, the one most producers outside of the region try to imitate. • The main varietals used in Champagne production are chardonnay, pinot noir and pinot meunier. Certain minor varietals are also allowed to be used by law: petit meslier, arbane, pinot de juillet, pinot gris, and pinot blanc. • Champagne are rated according to a system known as ‘Echelle des Crus,’ which rates vineyards on a percentage basis between 80-100%: 90-99% are considered to be Premier Cru and those at 100% are Grand Cru. • Of the three major production areas in the Champagne region, Montagne de Reims is known for pinot noir, Vallee de la Marne for pinot noir and pinot meunier and Cote des Blanc for chardonnay. • Champagne must come from Champagne, France to be entitled to the appellation, and secondary fermentation must take place in the bottle. France Other French Sparklers • Crémant - methode champenoise wine made outside of Champagne: Jura, Alsace, Loire, Bourgogne, Limoux*, Bordeaux, Die (Rhone) • Mousseux- A sparkling wine produced in France that does not have to undergo methode champenoise: Anjou, Limoux* (Ancestrale* is another indication of a sparkling wine from Limoux), Bourgogne, Die, Saumur (Loire), Touraine (Loire) • Limoux: • Blanquette de Limoux- The oldest recorded AOC. Has to be produced from at least 90% Mauzac; the other allowed varietals are chardonnay and chenin blanc • Blanquette Methode Ancestrale- Has to be 100% Mauzac; due in part to the lack of disgorgement. Traditionally sweeter and cloudier than modern sparkling wines • Crémant de Limoux- See Crémant Italy Prosecco • Prior to 2009, Prosecco was both the name of the grape (which is now known as Glera) and a style of sparkling wine; primarily from DOCs in the Veneto region: Conegliano-Valdobbiadene, Conegliano, and Valdobiadenne.

  • CROIX D'irval (France, Champagne
    CROIX D’IRVAL (France, Champagne, Coulommes la Montagne) BACKGROUND: Jean Servagnat is in his early 30s and left his bank career in 2010 to pursue wine making. His family has been in Champagne for many generations, living at Irval and owns a 4.5 hectares vineyard at Coulommes la Montagne, between Reims and Epernay. Historical references to the property name are pretty easy to track down. Croix d’Irval brings together ancient roots and history as a large cross stands at the top of a roof at Irval, linked to the crusades during the 14th century. Now, this powerful cross represents the family ‘savoir-faire’ and values, fashioned by time, by the understanding of the nature around them and by high quality requirements. The cuverie is in neighboring Vrigny and is state-of-the-art. Jean currently blends 50% of harvest juice (for bottles commercialized in 2016, 2012 vintage) with 50% reserve wine (in 2016, wines from older vintage, mainly 2011 and 2010) from older family plots of 2.5 additional hectares. In 2020, the family’s 20-yr rental agreement on these vineyards will expire and Croix D’Irval will possess 7 hectares in total (including 2.5 ha in Sermiers). A PREMIER CRU CHAMPAGNE: The current offering of Croix D’Irval Brut 1er Cru comes from 25-year old vines in Coulommes. The interesting blend is 70% Pinot Meunier (plus equal parts Chardonnay and Pinot Noir), producing a clean, structured but fruity profile with lasting minerality. The color is a beautiful pale hue and the bubbles are elegant and persistent.

With the growing importance of enological investigation being focused on the needs of the wine production industry, this review examines current research at each stage of bottle-fermented sparkling wine production. Production phases analyzed in this review include pressing, juice adjustments, malolactic fermentation (MLF), stabilization, clarification, tirage, lees aging, disgorging, and dosage. The aim of this review is to identify enological factors that affect bottle-fermented sparkling wine quality, predominantly aroma, flavor, and foaming quality. Future research topics identified include regional specific varieties, plant-based products from vines, grapes, and yeast that can be used in sparkling wine production, gushing at disgorging, and methods to increase the rate of yeast autolysis. An internationally accepted sensory analysis method specifically designed for sparkling wine is required.
