This Mindfully Curated List Pays Homage to Winemakers and the Passion That Motivates Them. in a Glass There Is More Than Grapes This mindfully curated list pays homage to winemakers and the passion that motivates them. In a glass there is more than grapes or simply wine, there is also a story of people coming together.

We encourage you to explore and travel through these stories; there is always something new and exciting to connect with. ** Best Award of Excellence by Wine Spectator 2016 * 100 Best Wine Restaurant by Wine Enthusiast 2016 Head Sommelier: Philippe Sauriat Sommelier: Kelly Robinson L’Index du vin ROCHELT SCHNAPPS 3 Beer, Cider 4 Champagne 5 Rosé Champagne 7 Crémants - Pet'Nats 8 Alsace 9 Jura Whites 14 Loire Valley 15 Burgundy 17 Rhône Valley and Provence 20 South of France 21 Europe Whites 22 The New World Whites 23 Rosé wines 24 Alsace, Savoie Red Wines 25 Loire Valley Red Wines 26 Burgundy 27 Burgundy - Côte de Beaune 30 Burgundy - Côte de Beaune - Côte 31 Chalonnaise Beaujolais, Cote Chalonnaise 32 Rhône Valley 33 South of France Red Wines 37 Bordeaux - Le Bank Red Wines 38 Bordeaux - Right Bank Red Wines 42 Italy 43 Spain - Portugal - Germany 46 The New World Red Wines 47 USA - California Cult Winery 48 The New World Red Wines 49 USA - Finger Lakes - Oregon 50 USA - Washington State 51 The New World Red Wines Continued 52 Half Boles Sparkling 53 Half Boles - White Wines 54 Half Boles - Red Wines 55 Magnums, Large Formats 57 Fortified Wines 59 Dessert Wines 60 2 Exclusive Austrian Schnapps Rochelt - Tyrolean Distillery - [375ml served by the ounce] "As a small, family owned business, Rochelt specializes in the production of first- class unfiltered Schnapps from the finest fruits.

It is the only organisation in Champagne to select its members according to a set of unrelenting quality standards. Each wine maker must make their champagnes entirely in his, or her, own premises and cellars. Furthermore the champagne must be made exclusively from grapes harvested in his, or her, own vineyards. The jury of oenologists and wine professionals who select the champagnes, demand irreproachable quality as regards both the work in the vineyard and the wines. Each champagne is subject to two blind tastings (once at the still wine stage before boling and again aer 3 years ageing in bole) by a panel of passionate and distinguished oenologists and wine makers. A Special Club champagne may only be made in outstanding vintage years. Only wine makers who have successfully passed these two tests are deemed worthy of puing their chosen champagne in the unique ‘Special Club’ bole which may not be used by anyone except the members of the Club Trésors. Obtaining this ‘Holy Grail’ is a true accolade and one that requires daily dedication and application by the wine maker."

He employs organic practices but hasn’t sought out “EN BAS DE VAUVRY” certification, preferring instead to prioritize the intrinsic health of the ecosystem and his vines. Domaine Ponsot’s holdings cover parts of three Rully premier crus in Burgundy: Molesme, Montpalais, and La Fosse. In addition to the 1er cru parcels, Ponsot farms 2.83 hectares in the “En Bas de Vauvry” Monopole as well as another 0.46 ha in “Rully Village” vineyards Varietal/Blend: Chardonnay Farming: sustainable with organic practices Soil: clayey limestone soil Exposure: E-S-E Trellis System: Guyot Harvest Technique: by hand based on timing of lunar cycles Domaine Ponsot was established by Lucien Ponsot in Ave. Year Vines Planted: 2000 1954 without essentially releasing a commercial Fermentation: fermentation in 15% stainless “Domaine Ponsot” bottling.

  • Toppan Printing's NFC Tags for Authentication Chosen by High-End Burgundy Wine Producer
    November 16, 2018 Toppan Printing Co., Ltd. Toppan Printing’s NFC Tags for Authentication Chosen by High-end Burgundy Wine Producer Preventing fraudulent distribution and counterfeiting of high-end wines with Cachet-Tag—an NFC tag processed to ensure that the antenna circuit breaks to prevent reading when the label is removed Toppan Printing Co., Ltd.’s (hereafter Toppan Printing; head office: Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo; President & Representative Director: Shingo Kaneko) Cachet-Tag™—an NFC1 tag designed to ensure that removal breaks the antenna circuit and makes reading impossible— has been selected for use on all Grand Cru wines produced by Domaine Ponsot, a high-end wine producer based in Burgundy, France. Shipments of products using Cachet-Tag commenced in October 2018. If the Cachet-Tag is removed from the wine bottle, the NFC tag breaks and the data on it can no longer be read. This can prevent relabeling and other types of fraud and is an effective measure against counterfeit and imitation products. When scanned with an NFC-enabled smartphone, the data stored on the IC chip can be read by a dedicated app provided by Selinko SA (head office: Belgium; CEO:Patrick Eischen), a company expert in authentication, gray market detection, and marketing services for connected objects. The result of authentication is then displayed on the smartphone screen to enable easy verification. The technology can also be used as a tool to provide consumers with product-related and other information. Domaine Ponsot is a Burgundy-based producer of high-end wines. Due to the rarity and excellent reputation of its wines, Domaine Ponsot has led the high-end wine market in introducing advanced counterfeit prevention technologies in response to damage to its brand caused by counterfeit products for more than 20 years.
