Brochure-Esclans.Pdf Sacha Alexis Lichine orn in Bordeaux and educated in America, Sacha Lichine has worked in every aspect of the Wine industry from production to final sale. He began working at his family’s former property, Chateau Prieuré Lichine and Chateau Lascombes during the summers of his youth from working the vines to dressing and selling the final product in the estate’s retail shop. Sacha subsequently established, at the University level in America, a summertime job, between 1978 and 1982; Sacha Lichine International which was a luxury wine tour business to France for educationally hungry Americans that consisted of 3 week trips through all major wine villages and appellations in France as well as dining at the greatest gastronomic Michelin starred Restaurants within these regions. Sacha additionally worked at Anthony’s Pier 4 Restaurant in Boston as a Sommelier between 1980 and 1982. Following this stint, Sacha worked as a Salesperson and Buyer at C. Pappas & Co. wine wholesalers in Boston between 1982 and 1983. A wine Brokerage and distribution company, Caribbean Chateaux, was established on Saint Lucia in 1983 to promote and sell his selections to all major luxury hotels and resorts in over 18 islands and operated until 1987. In 1985 Sacha was hired as an Imported Wine Specialist in Beverly Hills for Southern Wines & Spirits of California. In 1987, a defining moment in Sacha’s career came about when he started running Prieuré Lichine at age 27. Additionally, Sacha worked with his father Alexis Lichine to update the renowned Encyclopedia of Wines & Spirits. In 1990 Sacha started a negociant business, Borvin, focusing on selecting the best wines from Bordeaux and in 1992 Sacha became a Negociant in Burgundy forming Sacha Lichine Asscociates. Recognizing the importance of innovation in an increasingly varied wine industry around the world, Sacha developed a line of new world wines from France, Sacha Lichine International/ Vins Sans Frontières which had roots in the selection of small Domaines, Vins de Pays and Burgundian wines under his name and distributed by the wine company Borvin Sacha Lichine International. The company also had a range of blended wines from the Languedoc and varietals from other regions in France marketed under Sacha’s name. A pivotal moment for Sacha was his 2006 acquisition of Chateau d’Esclans in Provence. In keeping with his uncanny sense of innovation, Sacha felt that Rosé had strong developmental opportunities to become more serious from a production standpoint in addition to being served and consumed more broadly. The result to this foresight energized by an abiding passion for making and promoting great wine, has resulted in building a world class branded range including Whispering Angel, Rock Angel, Chateau d’Esclans, Les Clans, Garrus and The Palm by Whispering Angel. In the process, Sacha has provided a strong contribution to unprecedented growth within the Rosé category. This has made for a remarkable chapter in Sacha’s dynamic career to date during which Sacha has tirelessly sold and promoted his French wine productions and selections for nearly 4 decades by traveling the world and living in multitudes of cities from New York to Boston then on to Los Angeles, Margaux to Geneva, Paris, London, Bruxelles, Megève, Chicago, Hong Kong, Singapore back to Boston, Southern Florida in the Miami/Boca Raton area and ultimately returning to Europe where he today, when not traveling, bides his time between Geneva and Chateau d’Esclans. Bertrand Léon W ine is a way of life for Bertrand Léon who became Chateau d’Esclans and Whispering Angel’s Technical Director at the outset to our sixth Harvest in September 2011. Since then Bertrand, a graduate of Bordeaux Agriculture, where he studied Viticulture and Oenology has overseen eight of our thirteen vintages in this capacity. As the son of our Founding Consulting Oenologist, the late Patrick Léon, Bertrand has learned from among the greatest mentors in the modern day wine making world in addition to working with and building upon a distinguished pedigree spanning across two wine making generations. Bertrand brings to this an updated heritage which honors an approach of applying both traditional form and modern function to the way we make our barrel fermented prestige cuvées at Chateau d’Esclans while paying very close attention to producing Whispering Angel and ensuring that its quality remains consistent with on- going levels of growth as each year unfolds. Striking a balance between both is a challenge that comes naturally when meeting it because the Léon standard toward crafting great wines is something to which Bertrand is a key part. This is evidenced by his contributions towards making nearly two-thirds of the vintages to date not only from Chateau d’Esclans but for Rock Angel, Whispering Angel and The Palm By Whispering Angel. Continuity and greatness are by-products to Bertrand’s oversight while both are a function of remarkable precision based on paying the highest level of attention to detail. Familiarity plays a role as well however less insofar as on-going repetition is concerned but instead understanding what consumers want from an evolutionary perspective and how to deliver it vintage to vintage in terms of applying the best standards and practices when making all the Lichine wines as great as they are. For sure, there are many more Rosés on the market than there were when Sacha Lichine and Patrick Léon began making the wine in 2006. Towards that end, Bertrand’s commitment to consistency while balancing it with innovation is what ensures quality in the bottle. Jean Claude Neu Our passionate and talented Cellar Master, Jean Claude Neu, a graduate of Lycée Agricole de Hyères, where he studied Viticulture and Oenology has held this position since the beginning in 2006. As the only wine making professional on staff at the time Sacha Lichine launched Chateau d’Esclans and Whispering Angel, Jean Claude’s enduring tenure speaks for itself. His exposure to overseeing the day to day management of our Cellars initially under Patrick Léon and then with Bertrand has indoctrinated Jean Claude to uphold all standards and practices that have been put into place by the Léons. That being said, his role is an integral one which not only makes his support invaluable but ensures that his talented staff mirror the approach which has unmistakably become that of our unmatched wine making style and culture. « The most hypnotic pattisier’s scent & the depth of flavour is outstanding. » 19/20 Matthew Jukes « Full body plus loads of flavor and richness.

  • The Bordeaux Wine Country of France: Medoc, St. Emilion, and Grave-Sauterne
    The Bordeaux Wine Country of France: Medoc, St. Emilion, and Grave-Sauterne Bordeaux Wine Country – Images by Lee Foster by Lee Foster Every traveler with an interest in wine and food owes himself or herself, at some point in life, a pilgrimage to Bordeaux, a gustatory shrine. A glass of well-aged red wine from one of the better chateaux of the Medoc or a sweet white wine from one of the best Sauternes chateaux are two of the exquisite taste pleasures that life offers. Drinking these wines at their place of origin, after seeing how the grapes are grown and the wine vinted, is a satisfying and joyful experience. Pairing the wine with delectable regional cuisine is an added pleasure. The memories of a trip to Bordeaux can last a lifetime, flooding back whenever you subsequently have an opportunity to open another bottle of Bordeaux wine. For many travelers, whose most accessible wine drinking experience may be California wines, the trip to Bordeaux is an exhilarating search for the origin of the Cabernet and Merlot vines that create some of the most satisfying California red wines. Bordeaux is also the first home of the Sauvignon and Semillon grapes that constitute so many attractive white wines in California. The budget traveler should note that monetary savings spent on drinking a week’s worth of good Bordeaux wine in Bordeaux, where the wine is cheapest at its place of origin, can contribute substantially to the cost of a charter flight to get you to Paris. Train to Bordeaux From Paris I caught the train to Bordeaux, which is situated in the southwest of the country.

  • Wine List Intro.Docx
    Supplement to Wine & Gastronomy Catalogues This book list, together with my Wine & Gastronomy Catalogues (1996-2002) represents, to the best of my reconstructive ability, the complete collection built over a roughly twenty-year period ending in 1982. The Wine & Gastronomy Catalogues had been drawn from books that suffered fire and water torture in 1979. The present list also includes books acquired before and after that event, while we were living in Italy, and before I reluctantly rejected the idea of rebuilding the collection. A few of these later acquisitions were offered for sale in the catalogues, but most of them remain in my possession. They are identified here with the note “[**++].” The following additional identifiers are used in this list: [**ici] – “incomplete cataloguing information” available – “short title” detail at best. All of these books were lost or discarded. [**sold] – books sold prior to the Wine & Gastronomy series, including from my Catalogue 1, issued March 1990. [**kept] – includes bibliographies, reference books, and books on coffee, tea and chocolate, and a few others which escaped inclusion in the catalogues. All items not otherwise identified were lost or discarded. The list includes a number of wine maps, but there were a few others for which there wasn’t enough information available to justify inclusion. To the list of wine bibliographies consulted for the Wine & Gastronomy catalogues, I would like to add the extensive German bibliography by Renate Schoene, first published in 1978 as Bibliographie zur Geschichte des Weines (Mannheim, 1976), followed by three supplements (1978, 1982, 1984), and the second edition (München, 1988).

We serve it, receive it, share it, and make toasts with it, in all languages and cultures, to celebrate promises, the pleasure of reuniting with old friends, and meeting new ones. We breathe it in and soak it up while contemplating its substance and virtues. We recognise its aromas which serve as sensory reminders of fruit, spices and delicious notes. We picture these landscapes scattered with a château, a wood, a village, or a nearby river, where winegrowers have tended to the vineyards since ancient times. Generations of producers have followed in each other’s footsteps, on a never- ending quest to find ways to best express the outstanding terroir. The result of a subtle combination of soil, climate, grape varieties, and human expertise, the Grands Crus de Bordeaux fascinate wine lovers and professionals alike with their unique character, complexity, balance, elegance, and ageing potential. The Union des Grands Crus de Bordeaux promotes the fine and exclusive reputation of these wines, by going out of their way to meet wine lovers and professionals from around the world. Representatives of these one hundred- and thirty-four member châteaux that make up the Union des Grands Crus are delighted to share their passion for fine wine with you.

    Press kit O Médoc, my wild and solitary country There is nowhere more pleasant to my eyes You are at the end of the world, and I love you better for it. Etienne de La Boétie On the gentle slope, behind imposing stone walls that safeguard the serenity of Saint Germain d’Esteuil, stands Château Castera. The deer that come to drink at the edge of its woods, the cool of its gardens, still fresh with dew, its chapel that has heard a thousand pardons and its cedar trees that have overheard a thousand conversations, tell of the gentleness of life here in this tranquil corner of the Médoc. The walls of this castle – for a castle it is ‒ have seen the centuries go by. Put your hand on Castera’s stones and they will tell you their stories. Beyond Saint-Estèphe, the Médoc takes its ease as it flees northward. On passing an invisible border, another world begins. It is hard to imagine that for a long time this country was an archipelago, with islands emerging from the wet land outlined by marshes. When the Pyrenees took form, the Médoc yielded, breaking up to develop a muddled pattern of blocks. Later, the Garonne and Dordogne rivers left their alluvial deposits on this limestone plateau, with clays and rocks that would define the future terroir. With its ancient history and its ambitious cru bourgeois wines, Château Castéra chronicles the life of this northern Médoc, that of a wine estate exuding an art of living marked by serenity and the memory of Montaigne and La Boétie.

    Written by Armand Gilinsky & Raymond H.Lopez The [ yellow tail ]® Phenomenon “We are very proud of our portfolio of wine brands, but we must admit that the [ yellow tail ]® story has redefined and refocused our firm over the last decade. While the current economic environment creates uncertainty for most businesses, we are confident of our ability to navigate uncharted waters and continue to compete in global markets.” These were the words of Bill Deutsch, founder and chairman of W.J. Deutsch & Sons, U.S. importer of the [ yellow tail ]® brand of wines from Australia. It was early February of 2009 and Mr. Deutsch opened a strategy session with his management team. They had to update final 2008 revenue and cost data and set up marketing and promotion plans for the next two years. Expectations for the success of [ yellow tail ]® wines would play a critical role in the performance of the Deutsch firm, now managed by Bill’s son Peter, the CEO. After more than a quarter century of American wine consumers “trading up” to higher priced, higher quality premium wine brands, the economic uncertainties of 2008 and early 2009 have seen a profound change in consumer tastes and preferences. In many industries, including alcoholic beverages, a “trading down” phenomenon had taken hold. For company managers, creating strategies to meet these new challenges has been difficult with more than a few firms disappearing from their markets. “I’ve recently spoken with John Casella, CEO of Casella Wines, producer of [ yellow tail ]® wines in New South Wales, Australia, and he has shared some of his ideas for marketing in other global wine markets.

    Lieber Fine Wines & Spirits 516-747-7989 Chevalier Alexis Lichine Brut Product Info: Producer Name Alexis Lichine & Co. Product Name Chevalier Alexis Lichine Brut Size 750ML / 12 Region France Grape Non-Varietal White Blend Distributor Lieber Fine Wines & Spirits Item# #91220 Producer We are in Bordeaux, at the end of the 1950s, in one of the town's best restaurants. Alexis Lichine is standing surrounded by the greatest Bordeaux wine merchants and winemakers, focussed on the glass in his hand. The test is to guess the estate and the year of the precious liquid. A challenge that even the greatest connoisseurs fear. Alexis Lichine concentrates and by its colour identifies it as an old wine. The bouquet, subtle with fragrances of forest undergrowth, fruits and cedar wood, very probably indicates a Medoc. Alexis Lichine brings the glass to his lips and immediately thinks of a Saint-Estephe, with its characteristic fullness. The vine reveals no tannins, as these have disappeared over time, indicating a pre-war wine. The flavour, full and deep, reminds him of the year 1929. Only three chateaux in Saint-Estephe are capable of producing a wine of such calibre, and only the Cos d'Estournel has this chocolaty taste and depth. In front of an astonished audience, Alexis Lichine pronounces his verdict: Cos d'Estournel 1929. At only 46 years old, he joins the legendary ranks of the greatest wine connoisseurs. Born in 1913, his father was a rich banker in Saint Petersburg. The family fled Russia during the Revolution in October 1917 going first to America, then to France.
