Coravin Wines Fine Wine by the Glass CORAVIN WINES FINE WINE BY THE GLASS “CORAVIN IS THE MOST TRANSFORMATIONAL AND EXCITING NEW PRODUCT FOR WINE LOVERS THAT HAS BEEN INVENTED IN THE LAST 30+ YEARS – THIS IS A KILLER DEVICE” ROBERT PARKER, JR WINE WRITER & CRITIC WITH A CORAVIN THE OPTIONS ARE ENDLESS, WE CAN NOW POUR A GLASS OF FINE WINE WITHOUT PULLING THE CORK, THEREFORE NOT OXIDISING OR CONTIMINATING THE JUICE INSIDE. THIS ALLOWS US TO OFFER FINE AND RARE WINES BY THE GLASS, OR EVEN SPECIAL PARCELS WE HAVE BEEN LUCKY TO GET OUR HANDS ON. WHITE 125ML 2016/17 Condrieu Les Mandouls, Rhone, Ferraton Pere & Fils 17.00 Jancis Robinson – 17 Points Floral nose, backed up by apricot, peach and a tangy marmalade note. Good zest on the finish. Typically bombastic, but retains balance. 2015 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru ‘En Montceau’ Domaine Marc Colin 18.00 Wine Advocate – 91 Points The palate is well balanced with lemon zest, orange peel and hints of peach all served up with a side order of spice on the finish. Plenty to savour here and the length is impressive. 2012 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Champs Gain, Marc Colin 19.00 Jancis Robinson – 16.5 Points Oak-dominant lime nose, quite powerful. Rich and assertive on the palate, it is concentrated and compact, showing power and vibrancy. Oaky yet mineral, pungent and long. RED 125ML 2015 The Owl & The Dust Devil, Finca Decero, Mendoza, Argentina 11.00 Silver Medal – International Wine Challenge – 93 Points 39% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Malbec, 19% Petit Verdot, 10% Tannat Superb single vineyard blend with a silky structure, great balance and structure, an exceptionally rich core provides depth of character and flavour for superb ageing potential. 2016 Crozes-Hermitage, La Matiniere, Ferraton, Rhone, France 12.00 Expressive and perfumed Syrah, with notes of succulent black cherry, toast, meat and violets. The tannins are silky and in perfect balance with the fresh acidity. The finish is long and harmonious. 2012 Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Omnia Rotem & Mounir Saouma 21.00 Wine Spectator - 92 Points Vinified with 100% whole cluster and aged two years in barrel (on lees) with no racking before being bottled unfined and unfiltered. It has a creaminess and suppleness (no doubt due to the extended lees contact) to go with terrific notes of black raspberries, crushed flowers, incense and Asian spice. Medium to full-bodied, fresh, tight and lively, yet with good richness 2008 Ch Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande, Réserve de la Comtesse Pauillac 22.00 Jancis Robinson – 17++ Points Glowing crimson. Thoroughly correct, classy élevage. Pure inky fragrance with nicely constructed palate. Savoury and luscious at the same time. Well done. Very refreshing. Experimental These wines are bit of fun and worth experimenting with if you fancy something exciting and different.

  • Cognac and Armagnac
    Chapter 9 Cognac and Armagnac In This Chapter ▶ Finding out where cognac and armagnac are made ▶ Deciphering the designations on labels ▶ Getting familiar with the well-known brands ▶ Finishing a meal with a warm drink rance produces two kinds of brandy: cognac and arma- Fgnac. Both are named after the region in which they’re made, and both are delicious. Cognac Cognac can be produced only in the legally defined region of Cognac, France, located between the Atlantic and Massif Central — specifically, at the junction between the oceanic and continental climate zones. The region also straddles the dividing line between northern and southern climates. These four influences create a multitude of microclimates. In addi- tion to the unique climate, the soil characteristics also foster a range of wine and, consequently, the cognac of each region. In 1909, the French government passed a law that only brandy produced in the “delimited area” surrounding the town of Cognac can be called cognac. How cognac is made The arduous, time-honored distilling and aging process is what makes cognac so special. The cognac you drink today was produced using methods dating back to the 17th century. The distillation of cognac is a two-stage process: 74 Part II: Distilling the High Points of Various Spirits 1. A first distillate, known as brouillis, is obtained, with an alcoholic strength of 28 to 32 percent. 2. The brouillis is returned to the boiler for a second heating, which produces a liquid known as la bonne chauffe. The beginning and the end of this second dis- tillation (the head and tail) are discarded, leaving only the heart of the spirit, which becomes cognac.

  • Armagnac Appreciation 101
    Armagnac appreciation 101 By Jason Wilson Tuesday, January 18, 2011; 11:43 AM The bottle of Armagnac sat on display near the counter of my local liquor store for over a year. When it comes to spirits, I'm not normally moved by come-hither numbers, but in this case the Chateau de Laubade's classic 1957 vintage and its $399.99 price tag aroused a kind of lust that wasn't normal. I was waiting for the slightest, flimsiest justification or provocation to buy that bottle of brandy, which was strange, because until recently I'd never tasted much Armagnac. Then, in late November, I traveled to Gascony, in southwestern France. This was the traditional time of year for distillation, after the annual grape harvest, when production happens around the clock. At night, during these weeks, distillers dine, play cards, smoke cigars and even throw parties right next to their hot stills, which are in many cases still fueled by wood. I went to a couple of such soirees and ate so much rich Gascon foie gras that I feared I might meet the same fate as the geese. To wash it all down, I drank a whole lot of Armagnac, ranging across many producers, blends, vintages and price points. Decadent? Yes, incredibly so. And it only fueled my new Armagnac desire. Gascony is notoriously provincial and ornery. "It's difficult to get to and from here," said Arnaud Lesgourgues, president of Chateau de Laubade. "We don't have any airport. We don't have a big train station or big highways." That is probably why you so often see Armagnac referred to as cognac's "hick cousin." It can be made only in the Armagnac AOC, one of the government's designated appelations, which is split into three regions: Bas Armagnac, Tenareze and Haut Armagnac.

  • Bas Armagnac Artez Historic
    Artez is a small Armagnac producer who owns 12 hectares (30 acres) located in the Western part of the Bas Armagnac, also known as the First Cru. Even though the eaux de vie have been produced at this distillery for many decades, a new owner took over the family business about 20 years ago. The uniqueness of Artez is to produce mostly single varietals Armagnacs, a very rare specialty which requires special skills from the distiller and cellar Bas Armagnac master. Historic Vineyard location: in the Golden Triangle, also known as the Grand Bas Armagnac, a privileged area of the Western Bas Armagnac, famous for producing the finest eaux de vie from the Bas Armagnac. The vineyards sit on small, sun-bathed hills. Soil: iron-rich sands (sables fauves) produce eaux de vie supple in their youth and showing a great finesse. Vines: about 40 years old and the vineyard is planted with Baco, Ugni Blanc and Folle Blanche vines, giving low yields but more intensity and depth in the spirits. Distillation: single in a column still at the estate Ageing: Artez owns a forest of Monlezun oaks (black oak) so the ageing is done using mostly black oak, to give the eaux de vie a better natural color and more spices. Production: only about 40,000 bottles per year. Note: Artez has chosen the organic, sustainable farming practice, with no pesticides or fertilizers. In fact, they just received their organic certificate for their Armagnac, beginning with the 2015 vintage. Each varietal is single distilled at the estate. Artez Armagnacs are all natural with no sugar or caramel added and are 10 years old.
