    #6 TASTING NOTES BY: MASTER SOMMELIER MAX CAST Moderate intensity of aroma with ripe yellow pear, fresh Meyer lemon, quince zest, golden delicious apple, and notes of honey and button mushroom (possibly signs of botyrtis). The wine is dry, full-bodied, with an oily texture. There is phenolic bitterness as well. TASTING NOTES BY: F.L.X. TABLE’S MICHALIS KALAMPOUKAS Notes of ripe peach, lemon cream and apple. There is Chamomile-like floral quality, mushroom and wet wool notes with some possible botrytis from the notes of dried honey and ginger. Sweetness: Dry Tannin: Slight Phenolic Bitterness Alcohol: Medium Plus Acid: Medium Oak: old world or new? climate? grape? country? place? WINE DETAILS: Winery: Famille Hugel Cuvee: Classic “Hugel” Grape: Pinot Gris Country: France Regions: Alsace Vintage: 2017 Alcohol: 14.5% Elevage: No New Oak Other: Slow, temperature controlled fermentations NOTES : Alsatian Pinot Gris is very different from its Italian counterpart Pinot Grigio; it is even slightly more aromatic. This could be confused with Marsanne/Roussanne blend form the Rhône, but those have slightly more lifted aromatics and are often aged in oak. Once you have narrowed down moderate aromatics, medium plus body, oily texture, medium acid, there are very few places to go, except Alsatian Pinot Grigio. A great blind tasting example that what is not there also can lead the way to a conclusion. Retail Price: $25 Click Here to Reorder at F.L.X.

  • 1. from the Beginnings to 1000 Ce
    1. From the Beginnings to 1000 ce As the history of French wine was beginning, about twenty-five hundred years ago, both of the key elements were missing: there was no geographi- cal or political entity called France, and no wine was made on the territory that was to become France. As far as we know, the Celtic populations living there did not produce wine from any of the varieties of grapes that grew wild in many parts of their land, although they might well have eaten them fresh. They did cultivate barley, wheat, and other cereals to ferment into beer, which they drank, along with water, as part of their daily diet. They also fermented honey (for mead) and perhaps other produce. In cultural terms it was a far cry from the nineteenth century, when France had assumed a national identity and wine was not only integral to notions of French culture and civilization but held up as one of the impor- tant influences on the character of the French and the success of their nation. Two and a half thousand years before that, the arbiters of culture and civilization were Greece and Rome, and they looked upon beer- drinking peoples, such as the Celts of ancient France, as barbarians. Wine was part of the commercial and civilizing missions of the Greeks and Romans, who introduced it to their new colonies and later planted vine- yards in them. When they and the Etruscans brought wine and viticulture to the Celts of ancient France, they began the history of French wine.

  • DOMAINE VACHERON Sancerre Blanc 'Les Romains'
    Wine Facts DOMAINE VACHERON Sancerre Blanc ‘Les Romains’ The Vacherons without question are Sancerre’s leading winemaking clan. From the family’s pioneering work in identifying and exploring the region’s top terroirs to their leading position in biodynamic viticulture, there are few if any artisans today in Sancerre as exacting or as respected. The estate’s peerless older vines, planted and cultivated by generations of family members, are cared for fastidiously. Yet it is the their single- vineyard wines, like ‘Les Romains’—terroir-based selections recalling the painstaking work of Burgundian monks in the Côte d’Or—that have shown the world the heights and complexity that Sancerre can reach. CERTIFIED ORGANIC WINERY: Domaine Vacheron WINEMAKERS: Jean-Laurent and Jean-Dominique Vacheron (cousins) ESTABLISHED: 1900 REGION: FRANCE • Loire Valley • Sancerre APPELLATION: Sancerre AOC BLEND: 100% Sauvignon Blanc VINEYARDS: Pure flint (silex) soils, rich in fossilized material; such soils contribute a minerality and smokiness to the wine. A full south-facing vineyard. ‘Les Romains’ was one of the domaine’s first ‘single-vineyard’ bottlings (the first vintage was 1997). AGE OF VINES: 40+ years WINEMAKING: Hand-harvested. Fermented on indigenous yeasts and aged in older French barrique. Bottled unfined and unfiltered. TASTING IMPRESSIONS: Aromas of crisp pears, lemon zest, wildflowers. Stone fruit and citrus, with a finish that echoes the terroir’s smoke and sea- salt notes. Complex and very age-worthy. PAIRING SUGGESTIONS: Rich seafood; white meats; cream sauces 1601 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. Berkeley, CA 94709 northberkeleyimports.com.

  • Loire Valley
    PREVIEWCOPY Introduction Previewing this guidebook? If you are previewing this guidebook in advance of purchase, please check out our enhanced preview, which will give you a deeper look at this guidebook. Wine guides for the ultra curious, Approach Guides take an in-depth look at a wine region’s grapes, appellations and vintages to help you discover wines that meet your preferences. The Loire Valley — featuring a compelling line-up of distinctive grape varieties, high quality winemaking and large production volumes — is home to some of France’s most impressive wines. Nevertheless, it remains largely overlooked by the international wine drinking public. This makes the region a treasure trove of exceptional values, just waiting to be discovered. What’s in this guidebook • Grape varieties. We describe the Loire’s primary red and white grape varieties and where they reach their highest expressions. • Vintage ratings. We offer a straightforward vintage ratings table, which affords high-level insight into the best and most challenging years for wine production. • A Loire Valley wine label. We explain what to look for on a Loire Valley wine label and what it tells you about what’s in the bottle. • Map and appellation profiles. Leveraging our map of the region, we provide detailed pro- files of appellations from all five of the Loire’s sub-regions (running from west to east): Pays Nantais, Anjou, Saumur, Touraine and Central Vineyards. For each appellation, we describe the prevailing terroir, the types of wine produced and what makes them distinctive. • A distinctive approach. This guidebook’s approach is unique: rather than tell you what specific bottle of wine to order by providing individual bottle reviews, it gives the information you need to make informed wine choices on any list.

  • Sancerre Red Aop Jean Colin
    Sancerre red AOP Jean Colin A cuvee from our Ancestor! The influence of the Loire, the intimate knowledge of the Loire Valley subsoils and soils, a strict selection of the grapes and a meticulous work in the cellar are all symbolizing the depth and the intensity of Jean Colin’s quality. GRAPE VARIETY 100% pinot noir de Bourgogne TERROIR & FARMING It comes from pinot noir vines planted on clay-limestone soils. Many years ago, we chose to take the ambitious high road of ecological transition involving a reduction in the use of chemical products, the recovery of biodiversity, the preservation of the soil’s potential and the management of resources, particularly water. In 2019, our wine-estates has achieved HVE3 certification, a High Environmental Value farming certificate. We are now converting in organic practices under Ecorcert. WINEMAKING We choose to harvest the grapes at night in order to help to concentrate the aromas, the flavors and to control the oxidation of fruits. A cold pre-fermented maceration of 72 hours at 6°C takes place and encourages the extraction of colours and tannins. Afterwards, the wine ferments during 18 days from 18°C to 25° C. The « pigeage » and « remontage » (pumping-over) are carried out twice daily in order to extract the colour, tannins and intense aromas... A portion of the wine is aged in stainless steel tanks and the other portion in oak barrels (from the local forests of Tronçais and Bertranges) for 9 months where it undergoes its malolactic fermentation. TASTING NOTES WINE & FOOD A ruby full of fruits..
