  • Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru
    CHARMES-CHAMBERTIN GRAND CRU TERROIR Geographical The vines for this esteemed appellation are located in the origin commune of Gevrey along the “Route des Grands Crus”, which extends from Gevrey-Chambertin to Morey-Saint-Denis passing through the Lavaux and Morey valleys. Soil The soil is calcareous clay with limestone being predominant. A high proportion of gravelly scree on the surface lends the soil good drainage, which, among other things, favours the ripening of the grapes. Varietal 100% Pinot Noir. Vinification Traditional Burgundian vinification in open vats with long maceration and punching of the cap. Aged in oak barrels (50 to 60% new oak) for 14 to 18 months to lend harmony to the wine and ensure optimal maturity. TASTING NOTES Visual Deep ruby red in colour with black cherry coloured tinges. Nose Red berry base aromas (raspberry, redcurrant) with floral nuances (violet, rose). After a few years in the cellar, these primary aromas take on spicier, more animal notes. Palate Power, opulence and elegance all come together to give this Grand Cru its voluptuous structure. SERVING Enjoy with This wine’s complexity is taken to new heights when paired with dishes such as slow-roasted leg of lamb, foie gras-stuffed capon, or veal medallions with porcini mushrooms. For dessert, a chocolate concorde or a raspberry charlotte would be ideal. After close to 10 years in the cellar, try pairing it with scrambled eggs with white truffles on a slice of rustic sourdough bread.

  • Louis Latour: Expectation for Asia Rises with US Setback
    Louis Latour: Expectation for Asia rises with US setback With Trump administration’s punitive taxes corking French wine sales in the US, expectation on Asia to perform for the coming yea r is rising to make up for losses in the states, says Burgundy’s historic producer Maison Louis Latour’s Asia Export Director. By Natalie Wang With Trump administration’s punitive taxes corking French wine sales in the US, expectation on Asia to perform for the coming year is rising to make up for losses in the states, says Burgundy’s historic producer Maison Louis Latour’s Asia Export Director. Starting from October 18, French wine exports including the country’s two popular exports Bordeaux and Burgundy are faced with a newly imposed punitive tariff of 25%, as part of US$7.5 billion of extra levies on a wide range of goods from Italian cheese to fabrics. Aside from French wines, wines from Germany, the UK and Spain will be levied the additional tariff except Italy, Hungary, Champagne and sparkling wines. The news was met with dismay for French wine producers and prompted more estates to ramp up efforts in Asia to offset possible losses in the US. “At the moment America is very important for Burgundy, so a big impact,” says Mark Allen, Asia Export Director of Maison Louis Latour when interviewed in Hong Kong recently. “This is surely going to put more pressure on Asia to perform next year.” US is still the top export market for French wine and spirits outside of the EU, contributing €3.2 billion worth of sales in 2018, more than three times that of China (€1 billion), according to figures released by Business France.

  • Complex Burgundy Hierarchy the Hierarchy of Burgundy, to Some, Is Considered Complex
    With Burgundy en primeur upon us, Decanter has listed the top Burgundy producers, based on the best known and most expensive as a starting point. Look out for all the Burgundy 2014 en primeur tasting notes on Decanter.com later this month. image: http://keyassets.timeincuk.net/inspirewp/live/wp-content/uploads/sites/34/2015/12/Vines- at-Romanee-Conti-630x417.jpg Romanée-Conti vines TAGS:News Home Burgundy is an area in France famous for its world class red and white wines produced from the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes. Complex Burgundy hierarchy The hierarchy of Burgundy, to some, is considered complex. Burgundy lovers can struggle to learn firstly the commune or village level wine names, then the Grand Cru vineyards and finally the Premier Cru vineyards. A recent piece by journalist John Elmes, who is currently learning about wine for the first time with the WSET, was in high contrast to the in-depth piece by Benjamin Lewin MW on Burgundian classification. It served as a reminder of the breadth of knowledge needed to understand the Burgundy classification system. Burgundy producer types Due to this complexity, finding your favourite Burgundian producers can be much more fruitful in the long term when purchasing wine. This, once again, is not a simple as it sounds. The Burgundian wine trade is split in two between growers and négociants. This has arisen due to a law attributed to Napoleonic times – the laws of equal inheritance. When applied to the vineyards of Burgundy, over time, it has meant that individual growers may only own a small row of vines.

  • Pascal Clement Gevrey-Chambertin
    MAISON PASCAL CLEMENT GEVREY-CHAMBERTIN “LES EVOCELLES” 2015 PASCAL CLEMENT || Pascal Clement was born in the village of Savigny-les-Beaune to a family of growers, where his father founded the Maison in 1950. After over 20 years as a grower and winemaker in the region – including his time at legendary Domaine Coche-Dury in Meursault - he launched his own micro-négoçiant project in 2012. The wines live in a stunning building built in 1850 with a splendid arched cellar, housing 200 barrels. Pascal works with fifteen farmers / vineyard owners with vineyard holdings across Burgundy, personally selecting and tending the plots he chooses to work with. Pascal’s winemaking philosophy is very non-interventional. All the wines are fermented with native yeasts and undergo malolactic naturally (depending on vintage). In 2016, a “salty” year, the whites all completed malo while in 2015, Pascal chose to halt malolactic. The wines rest in barrel with no lees stirring/ bâtonnage. For reds, Pascal prefers Rousseau barrels and whites are in Damy, Billon, and François Frères. Recently, Pascal started moving to larger 500L casks for aging, finding better balance of wood to wine compared to the 225L Burgundy barrels he had been using. GEVREY-CHAMBERTIN “LES EVOCELLES” 2015 || BLEND | 100% Pinot Noir VINEYARDS | Les Evocelles is located high up the hill at the northwesterly-most point in Gevrey-Chambertin, surrounded by Premier Cru vineyards (Champeaux and Combe aux Moines). Some speculate it was overlooked for classification due to its elevation at 400 meters. Vines face south/southeast on shallow calcerous soils. WINEMAKING | Aged 18 months in French oak.

Balance is a key word in winemaking, the same applies to the marketing of a company celebrating this year his 220 years anniversary! Being able to deal with both tradition and innovation has always been one of our keys to success. On that regard, the last year was no exception, a large part of our time was dedicated to the launch of an innovative product, crafted around our most traditionnal grape variety... Fruit of a five years project, our Pinot Noir “Les Pierres Dorées”, born in september 2015, flew out of the nest at the end of 2016! Maintain “harmony” in the product mix is another key to success.

  • Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru 2007
    CHARMES-CHAMBERTIN GRAND CRU 2007 Varietal 100 % Pinot Noir Origins Gevrey-Chambertin is a large town located at the northern end of the Côte de Nuits. It boasts one of the largest surface areas under vine with no less than 330 hectares under production, of which 85 are planted with Grands Crus. The Grand Cru slope which faces east for ideal exposure to the sun, begins south of Gevrey-Chambertin. From among the 9 Grands Crus, both Charmes-Chambertin (22.5 ha) and Mazoyères-Chambertin (18.5 ha) may be marketed as Charmes-Chambertin. Part of the vineyard extends down to the N74 highway. Its location is exceptional as the soil is stony and shallow with a high level of active limestone and the vines produce very elegant wines. Vineyard selection and management This wine comes from a select vineyard which respects strict requirements: old vines, limited yields due to severe disbudding, green harvest if needed, working of the soil, absence of fertilizers, environmentally friendly pest management which respects beneficial wildlife. Vinification and maturing Harvest date: 12 September 2007. The grapes were handpicked and collected in 20-kg perforated crates. They were sorted a first time in the vineyard and a second time on the sorting table when they arrived at the winery. At the winery: the grapes were completely destemmed but not crushed (they were left whole) and were gravity-fed into tanks. Maceration lasted a total of 23 days including one week of cold maceration (12°C). Fermentation used indigenous yeasts only (no additives such as enzymes or tannins were used).

  • Gevrey-Chambertin
    Gevrey-Chambertin APPELLATION D’ORIGINE CONTRÔLÉE Appellation Village of the Côte de Nuits region (Côte-d’Or). This appellation includes 26 Premiers Crus Climats. Producing communes: Gevrey-Chambertin, Brochon. The commune of Gevrey-Chambertin also produces 9 appellations Grands Crus (see Appellation sheets N°25). On the label, the appellations GEVREY-CHAMBERTIN and GEVREY- CHAMBERTIN PREMIER CRU may be followed by the name of the Climat of origin. TASTING NOTES In the first flush of youth their color is a bright ruby, turning to deep carmine or dark cerise with age. Strawberry, mulberry, violet, mignonette, and rose all help to make up their bouquet of spontaneous aromas. More maturity brings out liquorices, leather and fur, with gamey notes and hints of underbrush. On the palate, they impress by their firm structure, velvety tannins and delicate texture. These wines are everything a great Bourgogne should be: full- bodied, powerful, rich, and meaty. They have both body and spirit. Pleasant when drunk young “on the fruit”, they are nevertheless first and foremost wines for aging, often for long periods. As such, they make an excellent basis for comparing different vintages. SERVING SUGGESTIONS Massive, yet velvet-smooth, the tannins of Gevrey-Chambertin confer power and solidity to the build and contribute to its great longevity. This is a wine for meat-eater, its gamey notes giving it a particular affinity for game, whether furred or feathered, especially when the wine is more fully evolved. It also goes superbly with rib steak, lamb (braised or in brown sauce), and all musky, solidly fibrous meats, that need time in the mouth to extract all their savour.
