However, to The Wine Forum, Burgundy is more than just pure, scholarly wine. To us, whom we will be visiting and splitting the proceeds equally between these two worthy causes. Burgundy represents all that we as a group stand for—that is, that fine wine is not a right, but a And what a tour we have lined up! We commence with a Gevrey-Chambertin Grand Cru tasting privilege. Speaking with the region’s very top winemakers, they resolutely believe they are merely the current custodians of cherished plots, and that their role is to make the best wines possible at the Château du Clos de Vougeot on the final night of the 2014 Musique et Vin Festival.

  • Tablas Creek Vineyard by Josh Raynolds
    November/December 2013 Tablas Creek Vineyard By Josh Raynolds “Jason Haas told me that his family and the Perrins have now eliminated references to Château de Beaucastel from all of the Tablas Creek wines (the last to go was the Esprit de Beaucastel, which is now called Esprit de Tablas) because ‘the winery can by now stand on its own merit and successes without leaning on the Beaucastel name. We’re proud of being a leader in Paso and want everything we do to reflect that.’ As we tasted through this year’s set of releases, Haas commented that while the estate ‘has built its reputation on mourvèdre, in the cooler vintages, meaning lately, we lean much more heavily on grenache,’ which ripens earlier. In addition, grenache makes wines that are much more accessible and popular with the overwhelming majority of visitors that this popular destination regularly hosts. Indeed, on the Friday afternoon I visited here in September there were upwards of five dozen customers milling around the new tasting rooms and out on the patios, and they were buying. 2011 Tablas Creek Vineyard Roussanne Paso Robles 91 Light yellow-gold. Fresh peach and yellow plum on the floral-inflected nose. Fleshy and broad, offering intense pit fruit flavors and a bracing note of bitter lemon zest. Becomes spicier with air and finishes with lingering ginger, chamomile and citrus pith qualities. A powerful, lively, complex wine. Aged in a combination of foudres, puncheons and barriques. 2011 Tabls Creek Vineyard Esprit de Tablas Blanc Paso Robles 92 (64% roussanne, 26% grenache blanc and 10% picpoul): Pale gold.

  • France Few Regions Can Claim the Fame and Admiration That Burgundy BURGUNDY Has Enjoyed Since the Second Century
    France Few regions can claim the fame and admiration that Burgundy BURGUNDY has enjoyed since the second century. Comprised of the Chablis, Côte d’Or, Côte Chalonnaise, Mâconnais and Beaujolais regions, Burgundy occupies a long and narrow stretch of vineyards in eastern France. The critical effect of terroir in Burgundy is expressed in its complex classification system. • Vineyards are divided into separate appellations along terroir France boundaries; the full range of classification levels from broadest to the most distinguished follows: District (e.g. Beaujolais or Chablis), Village (e.g. Pommard), Premier Cru (e.g. Pommard les Rugiens) and Grands Cru (e.g. Clos Vougeot). • As a result of Burgundy’s rules of inheritance, vineyard ownership is quite fragmented, with multiple owners for most crus. The Clos de Vougeot vineyard, for example, is split between 80 different owners. • Though soils vary, clay and limestone predominate in the Côte d’Or and granite is common in Beaujolais.

  • Tablas Creek Vineyard Newsletter for April 2003
    The VINformer Vol. 2, No. 2 April 2003 State of the Vineyard The vineyard is now well out of dormancy, and the nursery is in full swing grafting and raising young vines for ourselves and for the other vineyards that placed orders with us. The winter did an excellent job of replen- ishing ground water, with several large storms in November and December, and another batch in late February. January and early February were so warm that we were worried the vines would start budding out by early March. The return of cold tem- peratures (several nights in a row below freezing), clouds, and rain later in March put us back on target for a normal April bud break. Last year we left a couple of long “kicker” canes on each pruned vine and we contin- ued that practice this season. These long canes sprout first and delay the sprouting of the true fruiting canes which produce the desired eight to twelve bunches per vine at harvest. When the danger of frost has passed, we will prune off the long canes. In general, keeping the long canes on the vine delays bud break by about 2 weeks... a crucial period if we want to avoid spring frosts. The other technique we’re using to protect us from spring frosts is the installation of frost-prevention fans, a technique first developed in Uruguay. We’re the first vineyard in California to try them, and others are eagerly tracking our progress to see how the fans work.

  • The New Rhône
    Norm January 2004 Roby The new Rhône ROM the start, information about Tablas Creek Vineyard, the California project of the Perrins of Château de Beaucastel and importer Robert Haas, dribbled out in bits and pieces. But the winery Fhas everything in place now and has been showing its entire line of wines. The whites and reds are equally impressive. Based in Paso Robles, Tablas Creek was founded in 1994. The belief was that the hilly vineyard site had chalky, clay soils that were as close to Châteauneuf-du-Pape as can be found in California. The owners decided early on to import their vines from Beaucastel, and once all 13 Rhône varietals were established, it became obvious that Tablas Creek was doing things its own way, farming organically with hand hoeing and cover crops used for weed control. The top red and white wines from the estate are named ‘Esprit de Beaucastel’ and the next level is the Cotes de Tablas red and white. Both red blends contain slightly more Mourvèdre than Syrah or Grenache. Another surprise is the high percentage (14%) of Counoise, an unknown variety here, in the winery’s Esprit red. The 2000 Esprit red is an exciting addition to the wine scene. Displaying red cherry and currant aromas, this red also reveals a touch of the leathery-animal side of Rhône wines that others are shying away from. One of the unfortunate trends is the New World move toward a fruitier, jammy style of red Rhône blends. The whites are also atypical. The 2001 Esprit de Beaucastel Blanc is round, spicy and lively, with no oak in view.

  • Tablas Creek Vineyard Movement
    Tablas Creek is a pioneer of California’s Rhône Tablas Creek Vineyard movement. Founded in 1989, it is the culmination of a friendship between two of the international wine October 2020 community’s leading families dating back to 1967: the Perrin family of Château de Beaucastel and the Haas family of Vineyard Brands. After a four-year search, the partners chose Paso Robles, California for its many similarities to the Southern Rhone and began the lengthy process of importing vine cuttings, building a grapevine nursery, and creating an estate vineyard from the ground up. Today, the vineyards at Tablas Creek are proudly Biodynamic® and organic certified by Demeter USA. These selections revolve around a historic adventure involving people, places, and 17 Chateauneuf du Pape Patelin de Patelin de grape varietals all within a regenerative ecosystem. Tablas Blanc Patelin de Tablas Red Tablas Rose for customers of ANDOVER | BLAINE | WOODBURY | ST. LOUIS PARK | ROSEVILLE | PLYMOUTH Place Matters Tablas Creek’s limestone-rich 120-acre organic estate vineyard is located in the heart of the Adelaida District, in the hills north and west of Paso Robles, about 11 miles from the Pacific Ocean. Its viticulture practices emphasize quality through dry-farming and moderate crop levels. They farm organically, have been certified organic since Map, 2003. Their organic vineyard practices follow the lead of the Beaucastel estate in Chateauneuf du Pape. Like Vineyard Beaucastel, they use no chemical herbicides, pesticides, or Images fertilizers in the vineyard. Cover crops minimize erosion, host beneficial insects, and return nitrogen to the soil. Composting keeps soil fertility up, while compost tea controls mildew in the vineyard and reduces their need for sulfur.

  • Esprit De Beaucastel Blanc 2004
    T ABLAS CREEK VINEYARD ESPRIT DE BEAUCASTEL BLANC 2004 The Tablas Creek Vineyard Esprit de Beaucastel Blanc 2004 is a blend of three estate-grown varietals, propagated from budwood cuttings from the Château de Beaucastel estate. The 2004 vintage was excellent, with a very early spring bal- anced by a long, warm (but rarely hot) summer. The extended ripening cycle gave the grapes intense aromatics, pronounced minerality, and good structure. The Roussanne was harvested between September 5th and 29th, the Grenache Blanc between September 22nd and 28th, and the Picpoul Blanc in one day on October 25th. The fruit was whole cluster pressed, and fermented with native yeasts. The Roussanne was fermented half in stainless steel fermenters and half in small oak “pieces”, while the other vari- etals were fermented 100% in stainless steel. All the wines went through malolactic fermentation. The varietals were blended in May, after which the wines were racked, blended, cold stabilized, and bottled in July 2005. The 2004 Esprit de Beaucastel Blanc is a vibrant expression of the terroir of Tablas Creek, with aromas of honeysuckle, pear, TECHNICAL NOTES spice and mineral, fl avors of caramel apple, lemon peel and honey, excellent breadth, and a long clean fi nish. It should drink well when young but will also reward time in bottle. We expect it 65% Roussanne to show beautifully for at least the next 5-7 years. 30% Grenache Blanc 5% Picpoul Blanc 14.7% alcohol by volume 1400 cases produced FOOD PAIRINGS Cooked shellfi sh (lobster, softshell crab, shrimp) Roasted or grilled vegetables (eggplant, asparagus, peppers) Foods cooked with garlic and olive oil Rich fi sh dishes (i.e., salmon, swordfi sh) Asian stir fry.
