  • The Ten Crus of Beaujolais
    Tasting Notes ~ The Ten Crus of Beaujolais Saturday 16th November 2013 Accompanied by some saute’ saucissons chez Ecuyer Gordon & Riona Leitch followed by a supper of Coq au Vin de Beaujolais THE APERITIF CLAIRETTE DE DIE TRADITION - comes from Die in the Drome Department in the Rhone Valley. Made with Moscatel grapes by a form of Methode Champenoise - the wine is fermented slowly at low temperatures for several months, then filtered and bottled. Once bottled, the wine starts to warm up and the fermentation process starts again naturally, creating carbon dioxide gas as a by-product, which creates bubbles in the wine. The sediment at the bottom of the bottles is removed by decanting and filtering the wine in a pressurised container to retain the effervescence, and the wine is bottled again in fresh bottles. Wine made by this method must have it stated on the label. (source - Wikipedia) Purchased from CARREFOUR (CALAIS) – about £6.00 bottle, very limited availability in the UK although Manson Fine Wines shipped this to Inverness in the seventies. THE TASTING For those who cannot taste a lot of red wine or take none at all there is a Beaujolais Blanc for your enjoyment. This will also be the first wine of the tasting The tasting will really test our senses in every respect. It is a tasting that would normally be conducted only by professionals in the trade as it embraces 10 red wines from the same grape – and only one grape – the Gamay – We will be tasting consecutive vintages from neighbouring sub-areas, maybe even neighbouring vineyards.

  • March Saving Biancu Gentile, New From
    KERMIT LYNCH WINE MERCHANT MARCH 2014 Spring Onion © Gail Skoff SAVING BIANCU GENTILE NEW FROM THE BRUNIERS 2012 LUCIEN BOILLOT & FILS PRE -ARRIVAL CELLAR ME by Kermit Lynch here is some truth to the general perception that good agers are expen- sive, but that is not the whole truth. Loire reds may be the most glaring Texception—Vouvray and Savennières fit the bill, too. I may be the rare collector with bins of Barbera in his personal cellar. In one of them, just four years ago, I discovered two forgotten bottles of Louis Martini Barbera, 1970 and 1968—more than forty years old! I was sure they were over the hill, but was I ever wrong. Both were stunning, old only in the best sense, both aromatically dazzling and full of vigor. I don’t know how good today’s Martini Barberas might be, but they must have one hell of a terroir for the varietal. If I’d had any money back then, I’d have put down full cases. They were so cheap; I was so broke. Almost every year I put a few young Porro and Valpane Barberas in my bins to replace the older ones I’ve drunk. They don’t cost an arm and a leg, and with age they taste like they cost a lot more. They also taste good with much of my own cooking. This year I have especially enjoyed Valpane’s 2000 and 2004, and Guido Porro’s 2001 and 2003. So my advice, whether you are on a budget or not: pick up some Barbera and leave them alone for at least five years.
