  • 2015 CHATEAU DE LA RIVIERE Fronsac AOC, Bordeaux
    2015 CHATEAU DE LA RIVIERE FAKTA Fronsac AOC, Bordeaux Rødvin Drue(r): 2% Malbec, 6% Cabernet Sauvignon, Distriktet Bordeaux-distriktet Fronsac ligger i nærheden af byen Libourne nord for Dordognefloden, og har været kendt for sine 8% Cabernet Franc, 84% Merlot vine længe før, områder som fx Graves eller Médoc begyndte at plante vinstokke. Fronsac kan desuden prale med at Alkohol: 14.5% høre under en af de ældste vinlovgivninger i Bordeaux. Områdets komplekse jordbundsforhold med rige aflejringer Skruelåg: Nej nogle steder og ler- og kalkholdige eller småstens- og siliciumholdige lag i dybden andre steder, forklarer de store Varenummer: 01410511535 kvalitetsforskelle i området. De bedste vinmarker siges at ligge i den nordlige del, nær Canon-Fronsac (egen AOC), hvor sand og kalk dominerer. Navnet Canon kommer i øvrigt af, at de høje skrænter ved Fronsac blev brugt af flådens skibe, som lå for anker i Dordognefloden, til at afprøve deres kanoner. AOC'erne Fronsac og Canon-Fronsac tillader kun rødvinsproduktion, hovedsageligt på druen Merlot, tilsat Cabernet Franc (i området kaldt Bouchet), Malbec og Cabernet Sauvignon. Vinene er generelt kraftige og krydrede, ofte med god sprødhed og struktur, og de bedste af dem desuden med velour og finesse. De vinder som regel i harmoni og kompleksitet ved at blive modnet (5-10 år). Vinene fra Fronsac nævnes ofte som gode (og ofte billigere) alternativer til St. Emilion- eller Pomerol-vine. Producenten Château de la Rivière er uden tvivl et af de meste berømte vinslotte i Fronsac-området. Dets beliggenhed på La Rivière-sletten (ca. 60 m. over Dordognefloden), omgivet af 65 ha.

    Weinpassion für Bordeaux 2015 Arrivage 2015: Schon heute ein legendärer Bordeaux-Jahrgang. Berührendes Weinerlebnis zu einem unglaublichen Preis. 2015 Le Sacre St-Georges St-Emilion 18+/20 Gerstl Weinselektionen • Tel. 058 234 22 88 • www.gerstl.ch Bordeaux 2015: Grandiose Weine dank perfektem Wetter und herausragender Kellerarbeit. Liebe Bordeaux-Freundinnen und -Freunde Liebe Kundinnen und Kunden Wo soll man den Jahrgang 2015 einordnen? Qualitativ ohne Zweifel bei den ganz grossen Jahrgängen. Ist er noch besser als 2005, 2009 oder 2010? Ich würde sagen nicht besser, aber ganz anders auf ähnlich hohem Niveau. 2005 und 2010 zeigten Kraft, Konzentration, Mineralität und Eleganz. 2009 glänzte mit perfekter Reife, gezügelter Opulenz, enormer Fülle und toller Eleganz. 2015 hat von allen erwähnten Komponenten etwas, aber eher in gemässigter Form, das Überragende an 2015 sind die Feinheit, die Raffinesse, die unglaublich leckere Art der Weine. Die Witterungs-Verhältnisse waren absolut ideal. Der Süden des Médoc und die Regionen Pessac-Léognan, St. Emilion mit der ganzen Umgebung von Castillon über Fronsac bis Bourg und Blaye und auch Pomerol inkl. Lalande de Pomerol profitierten von absolut perfektem Erntewetter. Nur im Norden des Médoc gab es einige Regenfälle. Das wurde aber von den Top- Betrieben sehr gut gemeistert, auch hier sind einige überragende Weine ent- standen. «Dieses Jahr hat uns der Regen sogar die Qualität der Ernte geret- tet», meinte Véronique Sanders, Direktorin von Château Haut-Bailly, «immer genau dann, wenn Trockenstress drohte, gab es den nötigen Regen.» Besuchen Sie unbedingt unsere grosse Arrivage-Degustation mit den Winzern in Zürich (23.4.18, Volkshaus) und an weite- ren Orten in der Schweiz – siehe www.gerstl.ch/events Herzliche Grüsse und viel Genussvergnügen mit Bordeaux 2015!

It is submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the diploma of Cape Wine Master to the Cape Wine Academy. It has not been submitted before for qualification of examination in this or any other educational organisation. Signed: _____________________________________ Dated: ___________________ Bordeaux style red blends in South Africa 3 Debi van Flymen ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS A number of local and international winemakers, educators, critics, industry experts and journalists gave generously of their time and knowledge. Each was keen to share their experience and opinions and several were willing to be quoted herein. Mom and Dad, thanks for your support, encouragement and understanding throughout this journey. Your unconditional love is inspirational and a source of my strength. Ari, thanks for your encouragement across the miles. This journey was not a solitary one; without the camaraderie of fellow Cape Wine Masters students Conrad Louw and Sandy Harper it might not be complete. We have seen each other through the highs and lows of the course since we met in Diploma studies, spurring one another on and providing sturdy shoulders on which to lean. Thank you both for everything and look forward to sharing our passion for wine not because we have to taste something, but because we want to! Cape Wine Masters, Margaret Fry and Derek Ramsden have been invaluable resources.

  • Palmarès Du Concours Général Agricole
    PALMARES DU CONCOURS GENERAL AGRICOLE 2010 Les médaillés du Concours Général Agricole Les Vins Date d'édition : 28/02/2010 PALMARES DU CONCOURS GENERAL AGRICOLE Présentation Depuis sa création en 1870, le Concours Général Agricole (CGA) s'est donné pour objectif de distinguer les meilleurs représentants de chaque catégorie de produits alimentaires. Il s'agit exclusivement de produits agricoles ou issus, en première transformation, de produits agricoles récoltés sur le territoire français. Ils sont d'origine fermière, artisanale ou industrielle. Organisé sous le contrôle de l'Etat, ce qui garantit son impartialité, le CGA a lieu chaque année et se déroule dans le cadre du Salon International de l'Agriculture. LA SÉLECTION Le CGA, réglementé par un arrêté du Ministère de l'Alimentation, de l'Agriculture et de la Pêche, associe le plus étroitement possible la profession à sa conception et à son évolution : - les prélèvements sont effectués par les agents de l'Etat, ou sous leur contrôle ; - les présélections sévères aboutissent à n'admettre en phase finale que des produits d'une qualité certaine ; - les jugements sont rendus par 3400 jurés indépendants constitués en jurys représentant l'ensemble d'une filière ; producteurs et transformateurs, négociants et distributeurs, techniciens, sommeliers et restaurateurs, consommateurs avertis. LA VALORISATION DE LA PRODUCTION AGRICOLE FRANÇAISE La finalité du CGA est de confronter les meilleurs des échantillons au sein d'une catégorie bien définie et homogène de produits, lors des dégustations effectuées par des experts. Il met l'accent sur leurs caractéristiques sensorielles, après avoir vérifié qu'ils correspondent bien aux normes officielles. La sélectivité des épreuves (moins de 23 % des inscrits obtiennent une médaille, moins de 8 % une médaille d'or) apporte aux candidats une référence externe solide et un gage de qualité (AOC, Label Rouge, Agriculture biologique, ...).
