COCKTAILS

FRENCH ’75 £19

Created in 1915 by Harry McElhone at Harry’s Bar in Paris, and named after the powerful

French 75mm field gun used during the first world war; it first appears in print in 1927

in a bootlegger-friendly volume called ‘Here’s How!’. From there, it was picked up

by the 1930 ‘Savoy Cocktail Book’ and once it was in there, it was everywhere.

Gin, sugar, fresh lemon juice, finished with Champagne

COGNAC CHAMPAGNE COCKTAIL £19

A well balanced bubbly conconction with all those wintery notes that will make

your togue tingle!

Remy Martin, Brown sugar cube, angostura bitter, finished with Champagne.

Served in a Flûte glass.

CORPSE REVIVER #2 £18

The Corpse-Reviver family of drinks is mentioned as early as 1871 in

‘The Gentleman’s Table guide’. Harry Craddock’s version is one of the many after the recipe was

published. Keep his warning in mind: ‘Four of these taken in swift succession will quickly

unrevive the corpse again’.

Gin, Americano Cocchi, Cointreau, fresh lemon juice, served in an absinthe-rinsed glass

AVIATION £18

A tale of neglect and abuse, rehabilitation and redemption, the Aviation has been around

at least from 1911. Hugo Ensslin first published the recipe in his 1916 ‘Recipes For Mixed Drinks’,

whilst the widely referenced ‘Savoy Cocktail Book’ (1930) dropped the crème de violette from the

original recipe.

Gin, fresh lemon juice, maraschino, crème de violette

MARTINEZ £18

Born in the 1880s , it is considered the grandfather of the Martini, this elegant classic

was first prepared by “The Professor” for a guest on his way to Martinez, California, where

a plaque still hangs to commemorate the occasion.

Gin, sweet vermouth, maraschino, orange & Angostura bitters

DARK N’ STORMY £18

The national drink of Bermuda since the 1860s, or even earlier. All we know to date

it is that the Royal Navy added a ginger-beer bottling plant to their docklands complex

sometime between 1860 and 1920.

Dark rum, fresh lime juice, ginger beer

HEMINGWAY DAIQUIRI £18

The cocktail muse inspired Constantino Ribalaigua of the Floridita Bar in Havana to create this,

the result is ambrosia. ‘My Mojito in La Bodeguita, my Daiquiri in El Floridita’ – Ernest Hemingway.

White rum, maraschino liqueur, fresh lime & pink grapefruit juice, sugar

KNICKERBOCKER £18

One of the oldest drinks on record, it appears in Jerry Thomas’ ‘Bon Vivant Companion’

in 1862. Probably named after the Knickerbocker Baseball Club which, founded in 1845,

codified the rules of the game as we know it today.

Dark rum, orange curacao, fresh lime juice, homemade raspberry syrup

OLD CUBAN £19

A simple recipe but this elaborate relative of the mojito has plenty of potential!

Created by Audrey Saunders of the Pegu Club in New York in 2004.

Dark rum, fresh lime juice, sugar, mint leaves, Angostura bitter, finished with Champagne

TOMMY’S MARGARITA £18

Created by the tequila world ambassador Julio Bermejo for his

Tommy’s Mexican Restaurant in San Francisco.

The agave nectar gives a fruity and healthy twist to the drink.

Tequila, fresh lime juice, agave nectar

PALOMA £18

One of the most refreshing cocktails, combining the savoury and zesty ingredients indicative

of Mexican cuisine: La Paloma (Spanish for dove) was invented by Don Javier Delgado Corona

at La Capilla, the oldest bar in the tiny town of Tequila.

Tequila, fresh lime juice, homemade grapefruit soda

BROOKLYN £18

First mentioned in print in an obscure tome, J.A. Grohusko's ‘Jack's Manual’,

by 1908 four of the five New York’s boroughs had cocktails bearing their names.

Rye whiskey, dry vermouth, maraschino, Amer Picon

VIEUX CARRE’ £18

Created by Walter Bergeron, head bartender at the Carousel Bar at the Monteleone Hotel in New

Orleans, first published in the 1937 ‘Famous New Orleans Drinks and How to Mix them’.

Named after the “old square” in the French Quarter where the hotel is situated.

Cognac, rye whiskey, sweet vermouth, Benedictine, Peychaud & Angostura bitters

FISH HOUSE PUNCH £18

Said to have been first concocted in May 1732 for the inauguration of the recently founded

social club called the Schuylkill Fishing Company of Pennsylvania by a group of rebellious

colonial Americans which declared it a sovereign state and called themselves “citizens.” They still

do it today.

Cognac, dark rum, peach brandy, sugar, lemon juice

KRUG COLLECTION

Krug was established in 1843 by the founder Johann-Josef Krug after having cut his teeth at Champagne Jacquesson and has since specialised in producing only

prestige and specialised firm still producing all its champagne in small oak casks, an essential element for developing Krug's intense bouquet and complex

flavours. Today, Olivier Krug, who supervise every step of production, tasting and blending, represents 6th generations.

WHY KRUG IS SO SPECIAL

Since Joseph and Paul Krug in the 1860s, each father-and winemaking team has worked together for several decades, developing passion and passing on the

family style. This tradition has now been broken, as Olivier Krug works with Cellar Master Eric Lebel and his team. Lebel has, however, been with the house since

1998 and has worked alongside Henri Krug for a number of years. Th high price of Krug permits a ruthles degree of selection. All pressings are vinified separetely,

which gives the winemaker the maximum number of blending components as well as the possibility for the individual growers to taste the result of their work, a

rarity elsewhere,. Krug is currently taking steps towards organic viticulture on its own plots, of which possess 20 ha. The aim is to be 100% by the ene of 2018,

though certification is not sought after, as the house wants to have the option of rescuing the harvest with chemicals if disease pressure is too high. All wines ar

fermented in small barriques of weathered French Oak. Krug has over 4,000 barriques, which are situated at their vinification centres in Reims, Mesnil-sur-Ogier

and Ambonnay. On average Krug barrels are 20 years old and, though the company buy them new, they will not ferment wine that ends up in Krug cuvéesuntil

their third vintage. Rapid first fermentation, no malolactic fermentation, apart from a part of the reserve wines going through it spontaneosly, and a very slow

second fermentation. The Grande Cuvée receives 30-35% of reserve wines from 6 to over 10 vintages spanning 15 years or more. The reserve library, consisting

of 150 individual wines, is Krug’s greatest asset. Such quality demands long ageing and Grande Cuvée, th youngest Champagne in the range, has at least 5 to 7

years’ contact on the lees. Following Joseph Krug’s policy, the dosage is most often done with the with the same wine they re disgorging, since, according to his

philosophy, if the balance was right at belnding, there is no need to tamper with it at disgorgement.

Minimum post-disgorgement ageing is six months, but CEO Margareth Henriquez is working on increasing it to a full year.

THE KRUG STYLE & RANGE

Grande Cuvée . This is commonly a blend of 45-55% Pinot Noir, 30-35% Chardonnay, 10-20% Pinot Meunier. Winemaker Eric Lebel's first task each year is to

select the very best wines from which to blend it. On average, this involves up to 200 wines of widely varying proportions from 20 to 25 villages, of which Le Mesnil-

sur-Oger and Avize are most important for Chardonnay, Aŷ-Champagne and Ambonnay for Pinot Noir, and Leuvrigny and Ste-Gemme for Meunier. Typically some

35-50% of Reserves from 6 to over 10 vintages are added. Krug boasts an enviable library of 150 different base wines, offering Lebel a varied palette to choose

from. All Krug's base wines are vinified in 205-litre barriques made from weathered French oak, which is relatively neutral. Following the fermentation the wines

stay in the barrels for only a few weeks, after which they are carefully protected from oxidation. It ages beautifully, gaining more depth and complexity over ten

years, and improving up to 20, and in the case of the best cuvées even longer. The bottles are now equipped with an ID code that reveals the wine's full technical

data when entered on the Krug website. Henriquez is going as far as keeping back significant volumes for future use to be able to showcase the remarkable

ageing capacity of the Grande Cuvée. All Krug lovers know that Grande Cuvée ages sublimely, and that given time it often passes the vintage in complexity. The

2011-initiated ID system will enable us to follow the evolution.

Rosé . Usually composed of 50-55% Pinot Noir, 20-30% Chardonnay, 20% Pinot Meunier. The red wine base comes from vineyards in Aŷ and Mareuil-sur- Aŷ.

There is less reserve wine influence than in the Grande Cuvée and the wine is aged on the lees for a slightly shorter time, four to six years, to preserve the fresh

red fruit tone. It is the most difficult cuvée to make and Krug has initiated taking it seriously and trying to give it more bottle and post-disgorgement time as well.

Vintage . Usually composed of 30-55% Pinot Noir, 25-35% Chardonnay, 15-30% Pinot Meunier. The above grape mixes are approximate: only two vintages have

been Chardonnay dominant, 1981 and 1998. Pinot Meunier reached in 1953.

Collection. Exactly the same as for Vintage, except that these are later releases of the vintages in question. Almost all the older vintages have been disgorged at

the same time as the bulk of the vintage stock. The Collection concept is to offer old vintages that have never been moved from Krug's cellars. The age at which

they are offered is not so much chronological as evolutionary, since Krug waits for a vintage to enter what is termed its 'second life' before releasing it. Collection

wines have gone back as far as 1928. Unfortunately Collection is one of the most frequently counterfeited Champagnes take care when purchasing on secondary

markets.

Clos du Mesnil . 100% Chardonnay from a small plot of just 1.87 hectares situated in the built-up area of Le Mesnilsur-Oger. Its terroir, however, is divided from the

surrounding buildings by its very high walls, giving the vines growing on its gently inclined, east-facing slope a unique environment.

Krug bought and replanted it in 1971, but it was not ready to produce a wine until 1979. That first vintage showed great class and complexity as soon as it was

released, yet within a few years the fruit had become so exotic that the wine was vulgar and seemed to be going over. By 1993, however, the 1979 was back on

form, boasting incredible elegance for such a great concentration of creamy, oaky, walnutty, biscuity fruit and it was still in fine form when last tasted in 2009. It

now ranks with the straight Krug 1981 Vintage as one of the best three Champagnes produced in the last 30 years.

Clos d’Ambonnay. 100% Pinot Noir from the tiny plot of 0.685ha. Apparently Krug had been looking for a blanc de noirs counterpart to Clos du Mesnil for

some time. The house had bought Pinot Noir grapes from what is now called the Clos d'Ambonnay plot (originally Le Château) for years, but finally managed

to purchase the plot in 1994. only about a third of the size of Clos du Mesnil. It is completely enclosed, with a high wall on three sides. Only 3,000 bottles of

the 1995 were made, as the parcelle suffered from hail. Since then the highest production figures have been in 2004 and 2006, about 5,100 bottles in total.

So far three vintages of Clos d'Ambonnay have been released. The inaugural 1995 has been released in 2007 and is massive at entry, but soon the fine acid

structure takes over and the overall impression is refreshing. Only 3,000 bottles of the 1995 were made, as the parcelle suffered from hail. Since then the

highest production figures have been in 2004 and 2006, about 5,100 bottles in total.

DOMAINE JEAN-FRANÇOIS COCHE-DURY COLLECTION

One need only speak of Meursault to evoke a myriad of questions regarding the village’s resident icon, Jean-François Coche.

He began working in the family vineyards alongside his father, Georges, at the age of fourteen, becoming the third generation

of Coches to tend these vines. His marriage to Odile Dury in 1975 added to the family holdings, which lead to the formation

of Domaine Coche-Dury. Since then, the enigmatic, modest, Jean-François has only reluctantly accepted the celebrity status

of his wines. Today, his son, Raphaël, has taken the reins with his wife, Charline, and the two continue the family tradition with

great reverence.

At 10.5 hectares Domaine Coche-Dury is relatively small; 9 hectares lie in Meursault, while the remaining plots are in Pommard,

Monthélie, Auxey-Duresses, Puligny-Montrachet and Corton-Charlemagne. Total production is some 60,000 bottles. Though

they are best known for their Chardonnay, they also bottle six exquisite Pinot Noirs.

Work in the vineyard comprises the usual activities, but is carried out with great care and attention to detail. The utmost

importance is attached to limiting yields by pruning, which is carried out with great meticulousness. Indeed, no clones of any

kind are planted—an absolute rarity in Burgundy, where cold, humid winters, spontaneous springtime hail storms, and harvest

rains all make farming a challenge.

In the cellar the wine-making is absolutely traditional, with extended lees contact. After a gentle pressing and being left to

settle, the wines are fermented in barrel. For the top wines half the barrels are renewed each year. The lees are stirred regularly

during the twenty months’ barrel-ageing and the wines are racked twice before being bottled by hand, unfiltered. The extra

time on the lees prevents oxidation and works in tandem with the terrific freshness his grapes achieve.

The resulting wines are extraordinarily pure and fresh, and have great ageing potential. The Corton-Charlemagne is already

legendary, and it is very difficult to buy any. The Meursaults also are very rare and absolutely delicious. As well as these great

white wines, Jean-François Coche-Dury makes some remarkable reds, beautifully pure and aromatic, a remarkable expression

of Pinot Noir of the greatest finesse and breed. J.F. Coche believes strongly that the white wines of Burgundy should have

nerve, and his are never among the ripest or highest in alcohol of his colleagues. It is their vibrant acidity, often hidden in the

opulence that helps them to age so successfully and predictably.

DOMAINE LEFLAIVE COLLECTION

The Leflaive Family has been in puligny since 1717, but the real founder of the domaine was Joseph Leflaive (1870-1953) who was succceded by his two

sons, Vincent and Jo. Control in the recent generation wa`s at first shared by two cousins, Olivier and Anne-Claude Leflaive, with the latter taking complete

responsability from 1994 until her death in 2015. The domaine lost Olivier’s share of the vineyards in 2009.

After the untimely death of Anne-Claude Leflaive in April 2015, the estate is now being managed by Brice de La Morandiere with the winemaking under the

control of Eric Remy (in succession to Pierre Morey who retired in 2008). Today the helm is transferred to the 4th generation with Brice de La Morandiere's,

Anne-Claude's nephew and great grand son of Joseph Leflaive the founder, continuing with the same family philosophy of respect for the great terroirs',

humility towards the forces of nature and rigorous in it's relentless pursuit of excellence in wine making.

However it was under the stewardship of Anne-Claude between 1990 and 2015 that the domaine became a leader in Burgundy’s biodynamic movement,

the whole property being converted in 1997 after seven years of experiments.

Domaine Leflaive counts today on 22ha of vineyards, including 10ha of Premier Cru (including Sous le Dos d’Ane in Meursault) and no fewer than 5ha of

Grand cru. The wines are fermented and matured in 10-40% new oak barrels for their first year, before spending the second winter in stainless-steel thanks

whre they are allowed to clarify naturally. These are superb wines that combine richness and depth of fruit with elegance, refinement and perfect balance.

MONTRACHET Grand Cru 0.08ha

One very small parcel in the Commune of Chassagne dating back to 1960. The only wine fermented in 100% new oak Allier barrels and then aged for other

6 moths in used ones. There is both good freshness and vibrancy to the imposingly constituted flavours that, like the Chevalier, manage to retain an

unequelled grance and refinement on the gorgeously persistent finish where a hint of wood surfaces. Impressively deep reserves of dry extract that provides

a quite firmly structure.

CHEVALIER-MONTRACHET Grand Cru 1.92ha

Three plots in all, two lower on the slope and one above, with varying dates of plantation between 1955 and 1980. There is even a more majesty than for

Batard-Montrachet, but in a more chieselled version. Great power and weight, yet with a mouthwatering finish. Really expansive to the finish.

BÂTARD-MONTRACHET Grand Cru 1.91ha

4 separate plots in this Grand cru, two of each in both communes Puligny and Chassagne, with the oldest vines dating back to 1962. Concentration, intensity

and richness of flavour are the watchwords, but in youth it will be much less appealing than both Pucelles and Bienvenue-Batard-Montrachet.

BIENVENUE-BÂTARD-MONTRACHET Grand Cru 1.15ha

Old vines planted in 1958 and 1959 contribute to the quality of this Grand Cru, which has much more sensual bouquet thane the more powerful Batard.

Somehow it manages to offer delicacyand power at the same time. A wine of exceptional grace.

PULIGNY-MONTRACHET 1er cru Les Pucelles 3.05ha

3 separate plots, including most of the “Clos du Meix” and “La Grande”, planted between 1969 and 1985. This is one of Burgundy’s most sublime wines, starting

with a boquet which combines an intense floral elegance with a sense of nervous tension.

PULIGNY-MONTRACHET 1er Cru Les Combettes 0.71ha

The vines here were planted in 1963 and 1972, so have reached full maturity. Combettes from Leflaive is discreet at first, thjen opens out to a deliciously

plump mid-palate before returning to a more restrained finish. Undoubtedly curvaceous. Usually earlier-drinking than Pucelles.

PULIGNY-MONTRACHET 1er Cru Clavoillon 4.80ha

Domaine Leflaive own a small block at the southern end of the vineyard. Clavoillon makes fine, subtle, distinguished wine without quite the élan of the other

Premier Crus.

MEURSAULT 1er Cru Sous Le Dos d’Ane 0.54ha

Vineyard replanted in 1995 and 2004 to replace the production of Blagny Rouge. Racy with a minerally underpinning and floral, apple and lime blossom

flavours. Balanced in a steely way, showing plenty of stone, citrus and spice notes on the finish.

EGON MÜLLER COLLECTI ON

Weingut Egon Müller-Scharzhof is a renowned estate in the Saar Valley sub-region of the Mosel in Germany.

It exclusively works with the Riesling grape, and is particularly known for its wines made from the exceptional

Scharzhofberg vineyard. Egon Müller has just under 8ha of vines of the world famous 28-ha Scharzhofberg, a

south-facing vineyard on pure weathered Grey shale. The vineyard was expanded from 18 to 28ha in 1971 as a

consequence of the German Wine Law.

Egon Müller IV took over the stewardship of his family's share of this famous estate from his father in 1991. Born

in 1959, he comes from a long, long line of winemakers there, dating back to 1797 when Müller's great-great

grandfather Jean-Jacques Koch bought the the Scharzhof farm from the Republique Français who, at that time,

occupied the Electorate of Trier.

His daughter married Felix Müller, and the estate has remained in the same family ownership ever since. The

Müller family added to its estate holdings by purchasing 4ha of the Weingut “Le Gallais” in Wiltingen in 1954,

comprising the first class Braune Kupp vineyard north of Wiltingen.

The Scharzhofberg, or Scharzhof Mountain, is among the finest Riesling sites in Germany and is considered Grand

Cru. As such, it is allowed to be labeled with its vineyard name, or “Einzellage”, rather than its village name. The

Müller holdings here include a 3-ha parcel of un-grafted vines that were planted in the 19th century. These wines

deliver at the highest level of quality and are without question among the world’s great wines.

If conditions allow, sweet Beerenauslese, Trockenbeerenauslese and Eiswein are also produced. The

Scharzhofberg releases are among the most sought-after of all German wines and achieve some of Germany's

highest prices at auction. All the wines need time to reach their peak and can age well; the Auslese can easily last

half a century or more.

The legend of Scharzhofberg, in any case, derives from the Muller Family’s exacting cultivation of an exceptional

vineyard, coupled with a skillfull yet minimalist approach in the cellar. Egon Müller believes that quality can only

be created in the vineyard. He harvests late, unsurprisingly by hand given the precipitous slope. Each parcel is

vinified separately, and fermentation takes place in old 1,000-litre fuders and can carry on into January. The wine

then matures in the fuders for around 6 months is bottled. Egon’s wines are classically made, benchmark

examples of Saar Riesling and are probably some of the world’s finest, long lived and aristocratic wines. The

structure and complexity to allow them to mature even further has been provided by the site and Egon Müller's

care, and the longevity of the estate's wines is legendary.

Egon Müller also belongs to Primum Familiae Vini, (The First Families of Wine), a small group of elite, family-owned

producers where he is the only German member.

WEINGUT KELLER COLLECTION

The prestigious Keller estate is is enthusiastically run by Klaus-Peter and Julia Keller, with vineyard area totalling 16 hectares

and is located in the small town of Flörsheim-Dalsheim in the Rheinhessen wine-growing region of Germany and it has been

in the family for over 220 years. Klaus Peter Keller is now widely regarded as one of the most talented winemakers in Germany.

He is a founding member of the “Message in a bottle” group – a collection of young winemakers trying to advance the quality

and reputation of wines from the Rheinhessen. Klaus-Peter, who trained abroad in South Africa and in Burgundy (at Domaines

Hubert Lignier and Armand Rousseau) prior to taking his degree in oenology and viticulture in Geisenheim, has worked

alongside his father in the family vineyards throughout much of his life. With the wife Julia Keller (who also studied at

Geisenheim and did “stages” with Robert Weil in the Rheingau and Hanz Günter Schwärtz at Müller-Catoir in the Rheinpfalz

prior to returning to the Keller estate), they were ready to take over the direction of the family winery in 2001.

They have plots in the following vineyard sites: Frauenberg, Bürgel and Hubacker in the village of Dalsheim, Silberberg

(Monsheim), as well as Kirchspiel, Abtserde and Morstein in Westhofen. Only small, selected parcels of the Morstein, Kirchspiel,

Bürgel and Hubacker vineyards are classified as Grosses Gewächs – those dominated by the decomposed limestone (ideal for

Riesling) or shell limestone (Pinot Noir). The parcels with deeper soils are declassified, since the wines show a different, less

mineral, character. Keller’s yield in the classified parcels averages around 30hl/ha, and the average age of the vines is 30–40

years old. ‘The vines have to be at least 15 years old,’ insists Klaus-Peter, ‘as we want our crus to be complex, mineral wines

that express their terroir as well as their vintage.’ More accessible are the off-dry and noble sweet wines. They are crafted solely

from Riesling, Rieslaner and Scheurebe. The grapes come mostly from Grosses Gewächs sites, but from more south-facing,

sheltered spots, where morning fog dissipates more slowly. These striking sweet wines – the Spätlesen, Auslesen,

Beerenauslesen and Trockenbeerenauslesen (especially the Goldkapsel version) – are renowned worldwide for their elegance

and finesse.

Although Keller Rieslings have always been delicious, elegant and full of finesse, the more recent vintages from Hubacker,

Westhofen, Mortsein and Kirchspiel are highly complex, intensely mineral, world-class wines, surpassing those of the 80s and

90s in their expressiveness, persistence and richness. The metamorphosis came when Klaus-Peter and Julia assumed

responsibility for the estate in 2001, though they had been introducing new ideas for a year or two before then. The quantum

leap was in the vineyard : ‘The essential foundation of fine wine has to be created in the vineyard. In addition to terroir, it is the

meticulous care of the vines that guarantees perfect ripeness and totally healthy grapes,’ he stresses. As a top winemaker, he

observes nature very closely. ‘The best thing you can do is anticipate the needs of your vines, come to grips with them and

keep conditions under control.’ Highly selective hand harvesting is also obligatory, and more important than merely restricting

the yields.

At Keller, there is little that is unusual in the vinification. Klaus-Peter does, however, macerate the white grapes – at a

temperature of 14–15°C (57–59°F) for up to 40 hours, depending on the vintage – prior to pressing. But for this technique to

work, perfectly healthy, rigorously selected grapes are essential. The must runs free to large wooden vats (1,800–2,400 litres),

where the unracked must, high in solids, starts fermenting spontaneously. ‘We adopt a laissez-faire approach,’ says Klaus-

Peter, ‘since we do not fear a fermentation temperature of about 24°C (75°F)’. Even on the rare occasions when he has decided

that he had to inoculate, it was a wild yeast, either from the cellar or from the vineyards, that finally took hold. The basic range

of wines is fermented at slightly cooler temperatures in stainless-steel tanks, because Keller wants to stress the character of

the variety. His Grosse Gewächse lie on their lees until March and are bottled with only a light filtration. There is no bâtonnage

for the Rieslings, as Klaus-Peter does not like too creamy a texture in these, and it is only the Pinots that receive this treatment.

The Riesling von der Fels (‘From the Rocks’) is made from younger vines in the Grosses Gewächs parcels of the Kirchspiel and

are used for a “kind of second label”, but there is hardly anything “basic” about this beautifully balanced, complex and soil-

driven gem.

The Riesling RR bottling is a selection from the Kirchspiel vineyard that is planted on red soils, similar to the terres rouges to

be found in Bonnes-Mares. This is the warmest section of the vineyard, and the grapes here always get the ripest of all of the

Keller holdings. These are the youngest vines in the Keller portfolio, as they were only planted five years ago from cuttings that

came from the Saar village of Wiltingen.

Dalheimer Kirchspiel GG – 3.5ha planted in 1964, bought in 1999. Hard limestone laced with quartz veins

The Kirchspiel is a brilliant terroir, which routinely produces one of the tightest young wines in the cellar and which Klaus-Peter

describes as “always a wine of pure finesse and dancing minerality.” The result is a wine that delivers lovely, “cool fruit” tones

(despite the Hügelland’s high average temperatures and Klaus-Peter’s penchant for harvesting late).

47

Dalheimer Hubacker GG – planted in 1974, in the family since 1789. Limestone-based soils

This vineyard has a more southeasterly-facing exposure than the Kirchspiel. Consequently the Hubacker is the slowest ripening

vineyards in the Kellers’portfolio. Klaus-Peter reports that it is not infrequent that the Hubacker is harvested two to three weeks

after the Grosses Gewächs vineyards in Westhofen. It is unequivocally a great wine, which Klaus-Peter describes “as often having

the most exotic flavors (of the four grand crus) with a deep mineral core.”

Westhofener Morstein : 0.5ha, 50+ years-old vinesbought in 1999. Chalky-Marl soils

These old vines produce a very deep, powerful and structured riesling that shares more in common with the Trimbachs’ Clos

Ste. Hune than it does with their Cuvée Frédéric Émile, and is currently one of the two most highly sought after Keller wines in

the cellar. It is always a very slow wine to unfold. With the old vines and yields of under thirty-five hectoliters per hectare, Klaus-

Peter only produces a thousand bottles of this great wine every year.

Westhofener AbtsE : 2.5ha planted in 1977, bought in 1996. Iron-rich Limestone

The AbtsE is a subplot of the larger Westhofener Brunnenhäuschen. Back in the 12th century this vineyard already produced

the most highly prized wine in the region, and it was reserved for the private needs of the Bishop of Worms. The vines that Klaus-

Peter has in the AbtsE are impressive, as they produce very tiny berries because of chlorosis (a vine disease that causes early

yellowing of the leaves) and translates into a very racy, minerally and discreetly complex wine.

The Riesling G-Max is the Geheimwaffe (secret wapon) and the most rich and powerful of the Keller production. It is made from

the oldest vines in an unspecified Grosses Gewächs site – Keller will not reveal its source, fearing that the grapes could be stolen.

This is an utterly profound young and very complex wine grounding of chalky and stony minerality.

The Foucault brothers have a long and yet quiet history producing wine under the Saumur-Champigny appellation. We say quiet because,

despite the host of opinions given by the likes of Clive Coates MW, Andrew Jefford, Michel Bettane and others familiar with the estate,

who all rank it among the top domaines of the Loire, Clos Rougeard still seems to have a very low profile, and is generally appreciated

only by hardened Loire aficionados. Or perhaps Loire wine geeks would be a more appropriate name. Their wines are unique within the

appellation, and when considering Cabernet Franc without doubt the Foucault brothers deserve to be ranked among France’s finest.

Charlie and Nadi took on the responsibility of the estate in 1969, the vineyards having already been in the family for several generations,

and they have continued to fashion the wines derived from their 10 hectares of vines using what are perhaps best described as artisanal

and certainly organic methods.

The leading cuvée of Saumur-Champigny is Le Bourg, which comes from a 1 hectare plot of 70-year-old Cabernet Franc vines planted

on soils comprised of a thin layer of clay. These are the vines that lie directly behind the courtyard and its anonymous gateway. There is

also Les Poyeux, from a more distant plot of 45-year-old vines on more sandy soils, and finally for the reds there is the domaine Saumur-

Champigny which is produced from other plots. If these wines are not sufficiently esoteric there is also a white Saumur named Brèze,

made naturally from 100% Chenin Blanc, in miniscule quantities from 1 hectare of 40-50 year old vines. This wine is simply in a class of

its own, a wine of rare dimension.

The vineyards are tended without herbicides or fertilisers, with the plough being an important method of weed control. After harvest by

hand, the fruit is destemmed and fermented in barrel with the chapeau submerged by foot or by pumping over. The reds undergo

malolactic fermentation in barrel, with Le Bourg going into new oak, Les Poyeux in used one-year-old barrels and the domaine wine in

older wood again, often acquired from notable Bordeaux estates. There is no fining and no filtration, minimal use of sulphur, and the wine

is bottled after 18-24 months in oak. The end result is that there is a substance to the Rougeard wines that sets them apart, but more

importantly there is a textural quality to them, a silkiness to the tannins, that demands attention.

These are subtle wines, wines that do not assault the palate, but seek to impress on grounds of their elegant composition rather than

forceful flavour or aroma. They are truly stunning wines.

DOMAINE ARMAND ROUSSEAU COLLECTION

This is one of Burgundy’s greatest domaines any way you want to look at it – in history, in holdings and in quality of wine. The original

Armand Rousseau was at the forefront of the first wave of domaine bottling in the 1930s. He was succeeded by his son Charles Rousseau

(born 1923) in 1959, shortly after they had bought a significant slice of the Clos St Jacques vineyard. Today Eric (born 1957), grandson of

Armand, is in charge of the vines and cellar. While Charles Rousseau may still be in evidence, his son Eric has taken over wine making

responsibilities, producing pale, finely structured wines of great elegance and class. The simple principle of old (but not ancient) vines

and sensible yields dictates the Rousseau style. Sometimes the wines can appear light in their youth but they nearly always take on

weight as they age. Eric has changed little in the cellar but a lot in the vineyards. Compared to twenty years ago the viticulture is

significantly more precise and yields are now mastered through green harvesting where necessary. The vineyards have always been

ploughed here, avoiding the use of herbicides.

Rousseau retains around 15 per cent of the stems, giving tannin and structure to his wines and aerating the juice and skins. After de-

stemming, the grapes are cooled to 15°C then macerated for 18-20 days, without heating or other temperature control. Punching down

and pumping over are both used. The wines are then sent to barrel, with the same percentage of new oak being followed each year,

except for the Clos St Jacques which may vary. Otherwise it will be 100% new wood for Chambertin and Clos de Bèze, and 100% one year

old wood for the other grands crus, though Eric is now experimenting with a little new oak on his Clos des Ruchottes. The prime barrel

supplier is François Frères, supported by the tonnelier Rousseau – possibly a distant cousin. The vinification is carried out in a very

traditional style, with 90% destemming, 18 to 20 days of fermentation in open stainless teel vats with regular pumping and treading, and

a strict.

Gevrey-Chambertin Village. 1ha68 out of 359ha with Eastern Exposure The appellation spreads widely to the east, thanks to the bedrock of the Combe Lavaux, which contributes essential minerals to the soil

and is the most important combe (valley) of the area. The significant amount of gravel in the soil allows for an excellent draining capacity,

even at the bottom of the slopes. Domaine Rousseau owns 10 vineyards in Gevrey-Chambertin, 8 of which are used in its Village

appellation. Each year, the domaine also relegates grapes from some Premiers crus like Perrières, Les Etournelles, Les Craipillots. This

Village wine is an excellent premise for the wines of the domaine, announcing as it does the fine structure of Gevrey-Chambertin wines.

Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Clos Saint-Jacques. 2ha 21 out of 6ha70 with South-Eastern Exposure

A statue of Saint Jacques was unearthed in this vineyard, which was then dedicated to the saint. The vineyard faces south-east and

benefits from maximum exposure to the sun, while its proximity to the Combe Lavaux keeps it cool. The Clos Saint Jacques is implicitly

recognised as a Grand Cru, but was overlooked at the time of the official AOC Grand Cru classification; it belonged to the Comte de

Moucheron, a fervent royalist who refused to allow his land to become part of the Republican classification system. The soil of this

vineyard is extremely fertile and very stony. The top of the Clos is ostrea acuminata marl. The shallow clay topsoil allows the water to run

down the slope following the strata of marl and this gives fullness and typicity to the wines.

Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru. 1ha 47 out of 28ha 43 with Eastern Exposure

The Charmes-Chambertin comprises grapes from two parcels of Charmes-Chambertin appellation and a parcel of Mazoyères-

Chambertin. In Burgundy, the word Charmes refers to the ancient communal fields which became abandoned and overgrown. Here,

'Charmes' means 'Straw' or 'Stubble-field'. Mazoyères got its name from the small sheds built by the vignerons to store their tools. The

Mazoyères-Chambertin parcel is of Comblanchien limestone, with a layer of fine gravel originating from the Combe Grisard. The soil of

the Charmes Chambertin vineyard is composed of crinoid limestone on the upper slopes and Comblanchien limestone further down. A

supple wine; both fine and elegant.

Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze Grand Cru. 1ha 42 out of 15ha 49 with Eastern Exposure

The Clos de Bèze in Gevrey-Chambertin originally belonged to the monks of the Bèze Abbey, who were given the land by the then Duke

of Lower Burgundy in the year 630. They cleared the land and planted the first vines of what was to become the Clos de Bèze appellation.

To this day the vineyard remains a real ‘clos’, enclosed by old stone walls. The domain owns two parcels within the Clos de Bèze; the larger

one is in the upper part of the appellation. Here the soil is stony and has a high limestone content. At the top of the Clos there is a

predominance of Bathonien calcerous clay; half-way down this turns to crinodial limestone and marl from the Bajocian age. The stones

are spread out unevenly. Clos de Bèze is often described as the feminine face of Chambertin, revealing as it does all the elegance and

finesse of the Gevrey-Chambertin appellation. The wine is complex with deep colour and a long finish, smooth and of great finesse. The

rich aromas are dominated by red berries and oriental spices. The wines of Le Clos are subtle and mineral whereas those of Le Chambertin

are more ample and powerful.

Chambertin Grand Cru. 2ha 55 out of 12ha 90 with Eastern Exposure

Long ago, a man named Bertin decided to cultivate the same vines in his field as those of the Bèze monks. His wine was so exceptional

that his vineyard came to be known solely in reference to him: Bertin's field, or, in French, 'Champ de Bertin', which over the years became

'Chambertin'. The grapes for this Chambertin Grand Cru come from three vineyards in the east-facing Chambertin appellation, and from

a fourth vineyard, ‘Larrey’, a north-south parcel at the edge of the woods. The layout of this vineyard is such that it can only be cultivated

using a horse and plough. The soil has a very high limestone content. At the top of the Clos it lies on Bathonien calcerous clay and halfway

down on crinodial limestone and marl from the Bajocian age. The stones are spread out unevenly. Chambertin is the wine of kings.

Powerful, virile, concentrated with good structure. A wonderfully persistent mouthfeel with aromas of chocolate, liquorice and small red

fruits.

59

Clos de La Roche Grand Cru. 1ha 48 out of 16ha 84 with Eastern Exposure

This vineyard lies in Morey-Saint-Denis and is the only appellation in the Domain which is not part of the commune

of Gevrey-Chambertin. The vines grow on limestone and calcareous-clay soils from the mid-jurassic period. Barely

30cm under the soil are large blocks of stone that give the plot its name. The domain acquired two parcels in this

area: one in 1920-1921 and the other in 1975. It was awarded Grand Cru status in 1936. The wines are mineral and

vibrant; long, firm and very consistent.

The Domaine Comte de Vogüé in Burgundy dates back to 1450 when Jean Moisson constructed the original

building. The property stayed in the same family, passing through the female line from time to time until a

Catherine Bouhier married Cerice-Melchior de Vogüé in 1766. Somehow the family, though in exile in England,

managed to retain control of the domaine during the French revolution. Modern history and the current label

begin with Comte Georges de Vogüé who took over in 1925 and ran the domaine for 52 years. The Domaine is

now owned by his granddaughters, Claire de Causans and Marie de Ladoucette.

The estate went through a bad patch from the 1960s until the mid-1980s. The count was absent much of the time

and entrusted the property to an estate manager, who allowed quality to slide. Then, in 1986, François Millet was

hired as technical director, and 10 years later the aptly named Eric Bourgogne was taken on as vineyard manager

– both of them are still in place.

Spectacular is the parcel of Musigny owned by Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé – 7.2 hectares, amounting to

70% of the entire grand cru. Given that many Burgundy aficionados consider Musigny to be the finest vineyard of

them all, that’s a holding to die for. In addition, the estate is the largest owner within another grand cru, Bonnes-

Mares.

The turnaround was swift, and the 1990 Musigny was one of the great vines of that vintage, exquisite perfume, silky

textures, intensity of flavour, discreet but pronounced tannins and incredible persistence. Millet has always adopted

a perfectionist’s approach, thus he considers the 1.8ha of vines under 25 years old to be unworthy of inclusion in

the Musigny bottling; their production is bottled as Chambolle Premier Cru. A classic Musigny displays a paradoxical

mix of both elegance and raw power, it is commonly described as ‘An iron fist in a velvet glove’.

About half the Musigny vines are cordon-trained, which means that yields are low, bunches are small and

production is more regular than in parcels where Guyot-training is the norm. Bourgogne finds he rarely needs to

green-harvest the cordon-trained vines, but that procedure is sometimes necessary on the rest, so yields range

from 25 to 30hl/ha. The farming is not fully organic, but it certainly comes close. No fertilisers are used and the

vineyards are ploughed, but Bourgogne admits that when absolutely necessary he will use sprays to combat

diseases such as mildew. ‘We do the minimum, as we need to be humble in the face of nature and terroir. But that

doesn’t mean we don’t have to work hard to maximise quality,’ he says.

One peculiarity of de Vogüé’s holdings in Musigny is that 0.6ha, in two sectors, are planted with Chardonnay from

which is produced the legendary Musigny Blanc. These parcels, in the southern part of Musigny, are grown on

eroded limestone. However, the last vintage of Musigny Blanc was in 1993 because half the vines were replanted

in 1986, and the remainder in 1997. Millet decided that the vines were too young to produce Musigny, a view he

maintains, and the wines were released instead as a rather pricey Bourgogne Blanc. ‘I’m not sure when we’ll resume

production – it depends very much on how the wines taste. I think we need to wait, as with the Pinot, for 25 years.

I see no reason to treat the varieties differently,’ he says. When production of Musigny Blanc starts again, possibly

in 2017, it’s unlikely that more than 2,500 bottles will be released.

The parcel of Bonnes-Mares is on reddish soils in the southeast sector of the grand cru. The oldest vines date back

to 1945, while the oldest surviving vines in Musigny are from 1954. ‘The subsoil varies in depth,’ explains

Bourgogne, ‘and certain parcels have very little indeed. The soil is quite stoney and well drained, if less so than

Musigny.’

For Millet, Musigny has higher acidity and more tannin than Bonnes-Mares. ‘Bonnes-Mares is wilder, with ample

richness, but also with a prominent tannic structure,’ he says. ‘For me, it’s the antithesis of Musigny, which is more

classic. Remember that Bonnes-Mares is a vineyard that continues into Morey-St-Denis on the same band as Clos

de Tart and Chambertin. It’s a brother of Chambertin. It’s very direct and comes straight at you. It’s more electric

than Amoureuses, like a thunderstorm that’s about to break.’

Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé also owns 0.56ha of Chambolle-Musigny’s Amoureuses vineyard, a premier

cru situated just below Musigny and regarded by many as of grand cru quality. For 10 years Bourgogne has used

horses to plough Amoureuses to protect the vines, which were planted in 1964 and 1974. Their parcels are on

stoney topsoils over oolitic limestone. Millet characterises the wine: ‘It’s the first lady of Chambolle, but not

frivolous.’ Or, to extend his metaphor, it’s like Musigny’s little sister, always refined, yet never lacking backbone.

Domaine de la Romanee Conti is co-owned by the de Villaine and Leroy/Roch families. The former are successor to Jacques-Marie Duvault-

Blochet, who bought the vineyard of La Romanee Conti in 1869, and the latter acquired the shares of of other descendants of Duvault-Blochet in

1942. The Domaine is today run by Aubert de Villaine and Henri-Frederic Roch.

As well as La Romanee-Conti, the domaine bought its other monopoly, La Tache, in 1933, along with significant holdings in the grand crus of

Richebourg, Romanee St-Vivant, Grands Echezeaux, Echezeaux and Le Montrachet at various points in the 19th and 20th centuries. The domaine

is the largest owner of any of red wine Grand Crus.

The wines are made by Bernard Noblet in succession to his father Andre’ Noblet. Whole clustersare used (no destemming) with a long vatting time

avoiding excess of heat. These are not merely among the most sumptous wines of Burgundy, but cerrtainly the most stylish. Ancestor Jacques-

Marie Duvault-Blochet was an advocate of harvesting late in order to ensure optimum ripeness, a philosophy to which his decendants to some

extent adhere today.

LA ROMANEE CONTI Grand Cru 1.81ha

The vines, otherwise untouched since pre-phylloxera, were replanted in 1947-1948, with the first new vintage being made in 1952. The former

Cros de Cloux vineyard was renamed Romanee in the 17th century, with Conti being added after it was purchased by The Prince de Conde’ (or

Conti) in 1760. He wanted the very best and kept it only for his own use and that of his immediate circle. Wine writers and critics across the

centuries have singled La Romanee Conti as Burgundy’s greatest vineyard.

LA TÂCHE Grand Cru 6.06ha

The Domaine acquired most of the 6.06ha of La Tache in 1933, completing the vineyards by exchanging small plots in Le Gaudichots. It stretches

from the top to the bottom of the mid-slope band which contains the Grand Crus, thus covering a complexity of terroirs. It is a more flamboyant

wine than La Romanee Conti but needs a minimum of ten years for all its aspects, including the tannins, to integrate.

RICHEBOURG Grand Cru 3.51ha

Just under half the vineyard (3.51ha out of 8.03) belongs to the Domaine, spread over several plots. This is always a robust wine, deeper in colour

than Romanee St-Vivant but not necessarily as elegant. The vines currently average 45 years old. About a third of the holding remained in

ungrafted vines until 1946, with two cuvees being produced - a regular Richebourg and a version called “Richebourg Vieux Cepages”. When these

vines were grubbed up and replanted after World War II, cuttings were taken from La Romanee Conti which was also replanted.

ROMANEE ST-VIVANT Grand cru 5.28ha

One single block previoulsy owned by the Marey-Monge family but was farmed and made by the Domaine from 1966 and purchased in 1988. It

is a beutifully refined, stylish wine, perhaps having more in common with La Romanee Conti itself than the more rugged Richebourg.

GRANDS ECHEZEAUX Grand cru 3.53ha out of 9.14ha

The soils here are influenced by the dawnwash from Le Musigny above - the wines have a little more flesh and are generally more consistent than

Echezeaux. The holding lies at the northern end of the vineyard, adjacent to Cru de Vougeot.

ECHEZEAUX Grand Cru 4.67ha

Most of the wine is soruced from “Les Poulailleres” plot, considered to be one of the best lieux-dits within the Grand Cru. There is very little topsoil

here above the hard limestone bedrock, and the grapes always ripens easily. In occasional vintages it excels several of its brethren. Glorious the

1986 vintage.

CORTON Grand Cru 2.27ha

In 2009 the Domaine took on three best vineyards of the late Prince de Merode - Bressandes, Renardes, Clos du Roi.

LE MONTRACHET Grand Cru 0.67ha

Three plots bought in 1963, ‘65 and ‘80 on the Chassagne side of the Vineyard. It is usually the last to pick its grapes, searching for the opulence

that this great vineyard should provide. The grapes here always seem to retain the necessary acidity evemn when picked late. On first opening,

the wine shows the character of this late picking, but with time in the glass or decanter the true nature of the vineyard reveals itsself ina.

Spectacular manner.

Domaine Prieuré Roch is a Burgundy producer with vineyard holdings throughout the Côte d'Or but mostly concentrated in

Nuit-Saint-Goerges. The domaine was created in 1988 by Henry-Frédéric Roch. Henry is the son of Pauline Roch – older sister

to Lalou Bize-Leroy – and Henry is also co-owner and co-director of the Domaine de la Romanée-Conti. He bought some

parcels of vineyards which Domaine de la Romanée-Conti – of which his family is part-owner – was selling, in order to buy the

large slice of Romanée St-Vivant Domaine Marey-Monge which it had been farming. Whilst the domaine is driven by one man’s

vision/passion, of-course it’s not just one man; today Henry is ably assisted in the vineyards and cuverie by his new number 2,

Yannick Champ.

Domaine Prieuré Roch was established with just 2 hectares of vineyards divided between 4 different parcels in Vosne

Romanée. It now has more than 14 ha with a strong majority in Nuit-Saint-Goerges. The domaine's holdings include a number

of highly regarded premier cru vineyards and it is arguably best known for the monopole Close de Corvées. Despite the

recognition of its premier cru parcels, its grand cru wines from Chambertin-Clos-de-Beze and Clos de Vougeot command

higher prices. In 2010 Roch expanded further with a few hectares in the Côte de Beaune from which it produces its Ladoix

Village from Chardonnay.

The vineyards are all managed using byodinamic farming practices. The only ‘feeding’ comes from a compost made from

crushed vine shoots and grape marc composted with a little cow manure. Herbicides are banned and weeding done manually.

The domaine has also gained a reputation for its strict low yield productions enforced in the early 1990s. Vine now produce

roughly 18 hectoliters per hectare, in contrast with many grand cru AOC regulations that allow for up to 35 hectoliters. The

winery harvests and ferments the grapes whole-cluster in every vintage. It also works to encourage fermentation form

naturally occurring yeasts, highlighting those that occur uniquely in different vineyards of the domaine.

Nuits St.Georges 1er Cru Clos des Corvées, 5.21 hectares

A vineyard that was exploited for many years by Louis Jadot – though they only managed around 5 of the 5.21 hectares.

Henry Roch managed in 1995 to unite all of the Clos for the first time in hundreds of years. The average age of the vines is -

70 years, some over 90 years old. Since 2002 there have been 3 passes in the vines, the first pass takes in the smallest and

ripest grapes from all but those vines under 30 years of age this is the Clos des Corvées. Then there is another pass which will

be simply named Nuits 1er Cru. The last pass – which includes the fruit of the young vines – is declassified to ‘villages’ and

called Nuits St.Georges Number 1.

Vosne-Romanée Les Clous, 0.72 hectares

Les Clous is a name with a very old history in Vosne; in this case the name is taken for a blend of three village lieu-dits, Le Pré

de la Folie, La Colombière and Aux Champs-Perdrix. The vines are relatively young, being planted in the 1980’s.

Vosne-Romanée Clos Goillotte, 0.55 hectares

Almost like a garden to the fantastic old hunting-lodge of the Dukes of Burgundy. At one time, it extended to almost 1 hectare,

today 0.55 hectares of 40-year-old vines remain enclosed by a wall. Despite its documented existence for hundreds of years

this wine was ‘lost’ to villages labels until 1988 when Henry Roch put Goillotte on a label for the very first time. Henry calls this

the most ‘baroque’ of his Vosnes.

Vosne-Romanée Hautes-Maizières, 0.63 hectares

Despite its village appellation, this vineyard often serves up a significantly more complex and compelling wine than its villages

counterparts. With an average age of 40 years, these vines are sited close to the Suchots 1er Cru.

Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Suchots, 1.02 hectares

Thirty year-old vines at the northern end of the vineyard, bordering the Clos St.Denis lieu-dit of the grand cru Echézeaux. For

info, the 2002 vintage yielded ~5,000 bottles or 36 hl/ah

Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru, 0.68 hectares

This is a very well sited plot within the clos, sitting just below the château. Guyot-trained, the vines are a blend of ages with

planting dates in the 1930’s, 1950’s, 1960’s and 1970’s.

Chambertin-Clos de Bèze Grand Cru, 1.01 hectares

Henry leased this old parcel of vines in 1994 from a famous old name; Domaine Marion. The average vine age is a little over

45 years, in 2002 this vineyard yielded ~4,000 bottles or 30 hl/ha, and only 32 hl/ha in the high yielding 1999 vintage.

The remarkable story of the Roagna family begins in the 1880s, when the family started producing wine the commune of

Barbaresco, long before the wines of Barolo and Barbaresco became known around the world. The family remains in Barbaresco to

this day, based in the hamlet of Paglieri, with a long and illustrious history deeply rooted in Piedmontese soil. Luca Roagna, the fifth

generation of the family, is now the winemaker at their newly renovated cellar in the village of Castiglione Falletto.

The family are the custodians of 12 hectares of historic vineyards, the world-renowned lands of Barbaresco Pajè, Barbaresco Asili,

Barbaresco Montefico, Castiglione Falletto Pira – where Roagna’s oldest vines date back to 1937 – and Barbaresco Carso.

The Roagna vineyards are farmed with rigorous care for nature and biodiversity, to ensure their future. A rich variety of vegetative

cover is allowed to grow between the vine plantings, and no herbicides, pesticides or fertilisers are ever used. Green harvesting is

only carried out on vines younger than 20 years, allowing the vines to find their natural equilibrium. When a vine dies it is replaced by

one from a cutting in the same vineyard; no clones are ever used.

The family practises rigorous selection of grapes to make sure only those at peak maturity are harvested, performing three tries in

the vineyard and then sorting at the winery. The fermentation occurs with wild yeasts and takes place in large oak vats, followed by

a long maceration with the cap of skins submerged for two to three months. Ageing takes place in large oak casks or cement,

according to the needs of the wine and the vintage – there is no recipe at Roagna. Then the wines are carefully bottled with minimal

addition of sulfur, and no filtration or fining.

The Roagna family themselves eschew the limelight in favour of concentrating on making beautiful wine. The wines themselves

consistently receive excellent reviews and the respect of the global wine appreciating community. This is a historic family producing

unique wine from old vines in very special vineyards.

Barbaresco Crichët Pajè – Vineyard: 0.52 Ha

Crichet is translated as “top of the small hill”, which is where the Nebbiolo grape performs best, being well exposed while sheltered

from the strongest winds from the tallest hills. Pajé is the name of the vineyard where the micro parcel that produces this wine is

located. It is particularly rich in white calcareous soil, with a high content of active limestone. The youngest vines used for this wine

are more than 60 years old; indeed some of the vines have been propagated using ungrafted vines. Crichet Pajé requires long aging

in large oak barrels and is released approximately 10 years after being harvested. The Roagna family believes this is the ult imate

expression of their cellar since they value highly complexity and longevity in their wine.

The production is extremely small, in some years fewer than one thousand bottles.

Barbaresco Asili Vecchie Viti – Vineyard: 0.22 Ha

Asili is one of the historic vineyards of the village of Barbaresco, in the Southern part; it is particularly rich in limestone and marl mixed

with strands of reddish yellow sands. The vines for this wine have a minimum age of 50 years, and are regenerated using the massale

wood system by pruning the vines within the same vineyard, a system that is very particular to Roagna. The production of bottles is

extremely limited, often only about one thousand bottles per vintage. It is released after 5 years’ ageing.

Barbaresco Montefico Vecchie Viti – Vineyard: 0.24 Ha

Montefico is one of the historic vineyards of the village of Barbaresco, in the Eastern part, with calcareous marl soils with a good

amount of limestone. The parcel belonging to Roagna has been in the family since 1929. Like the Asili, the vines for this wine have a

minimum age of 50 years, and are regenerated using the massale wood system by pruning the vines within the same vineyard.

Production is extremely limited, sometimes just one thousand bottles per vintage, and it is released after 5 years’ ageing.

Barolo Pira Vecchie Viti – Vineyard: 4.88 Ha

Pira is a historic vineyard located in the village of Castiglione Falletto and originally owned by the noble family who had a private road

that connected the vineyard and the castle centuries ago. The vineyard is Southeast facing and contains specific characteristics due

to the slow disintegration of the rocks of Castiglione. There are 6 unique micro parcels depending on the composition of the terrain

which ranges from limestone marl to blue stone. The youngest plants for this wine date back to 1937 when planting was done in the

old style where the roots of each vine are only regenerated by pruning in the Pira vineyard and then replanting the same clippings

from the old vines of Pira using the massale wood system. The production of bottles is extremely limited, often only about two

thousand bottles per vintage.

Barbaresco Pajè Vecchie Viti – Vineyard: 1.83 Ha

Pajé is one of the historic vineyards of the village of Barbaresco, located in the central part. It has a unique terroir: the soil is particularly

rich in calcareous marl soil, with a high content of active limestone and the amphitheatre of Pajé opens onto the Tanaro river valley

which mitigates the cold winters and hot summers. The vines have a minimum age of 50 years, and today the average age the vines

is over 60 years. The production of bottles is very limited, with a maximum of around two thousand bottles per vintage.

Montemarzino Derthona

This wine is created from Timorasso grapes harvested from a one hectare vineyard in the town of Montemarzino in the Colli Tortonesi

area. The soil here is mainly limestone-clay and rocks with a high level of active limestone. Like the reds, Roagna’s whites are

fermented and aged in large French oak casks. The first vintage of this wine was 2014 and production is limited to fewer than three

thousand bottles.

Langhe Solea

The grapes for this wine are sourced from the Pira vineyard. Solea is sourced from the bottom section of the Pira vineyard using

Chardonnay vines that are approximately thirty years old. Additionally there is a percentage of Nebbiolo added to this white blend.

The production of bottles is limited to a little more than two thousand bottles per year.

VEGA SICILIA COLLECT ION

Spain's "Chateau Latour" has illustrious history, a sense of place, immense respect for tradition and immaculate winemaking.

It has laid the foundation for what has become one of the best wine-making regions in Spain, Ribera del Duero. It was founded

in 1864 by Don Eloy Lecanda y Chaves, who arrived from Bordeaux with cuttings of local grapes (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot

and Malbec) and planted them, together with Spain's signature grape Tinto Fino (clone of Tempranillo) in the arid Ribera soils.

Of the 1,000 hectares making up the Vega Sicilia estate, 210 are used for wine growing, and there are 19 soil-types divided for

management purposes into 52 plots with very specific characteristics. The influence of the Duero river's flow and the passage

of time have been vital in forming these soils. 40 of these hectares are employed to produce Unico.

The winery begun building its formidable reputation after 1903 under the ownership of Antonio Herrero, winning a number

of awards, and enjoying an international distribution. The estate changed hands several more times before its acquisition by

the current owners, the Alvarez family, in 1982.

Vega Sicilia has founded its success on its meticulous wine-producing practices: In the vineyard it applies low yields, aided by

green harvesting, and a painstaking grape selection. In the winery, wines undertake a complicated series of rackings from

huge barrels to new and old oak. The vines are not treated with pesticides and herbicides. Only copper and sulphur are used.

The Vega Sicilia range includes 3 cuvees: Unico, Reserva Especial and Tinto Valbuena.

Unico is the Vega Sicilia flagship, and it began to name for itself in the 1970s. The arrival at vega Sicilia of the legendary Mariano

Garcia enhanced the reputation of the wine between wine conoisseurs. The qualities of the Tempranillo and cabernet

sauvignon in different proportions are assembled to perfection in this wine. Each provides a differentiating factor that makes

the wine great in every vintage. The vines are grown on plots where the land is located at the point between the slopes down

from the wasteland and the alluvial plain. The soil nearest the surface is made out of fine colluvial deposits from the hillside

with small fragment of limestone. There is abundant quartz gravel deeper down in a sandy main soil. There are many angular

limestone boulders on the surface. The wine is made in conic-shaped temperature-controlled wooden tanks.

After its fermentation, its goes through what is probably the world's longest ageing of a red wine, almost 10 years between

wood and bottle. The different stages take place in different types of barrel: American and French wood, new and used 225-

litre barrels, 20,000-litre vats, each batch is what determines the type of wood and the time spent in each container.

After the stage in the wood, it is aged in the bottle to complete a long and complex ageing process. It will normally spend 6

years in wood and three in the bottle. The different elements in its preparation are fine-tuned in the search of the master line

that has guided the wine. Unico remains true to a clear and well-defined style, with an inimitable character and style; elegance,

strength, ageing capacity.

Unico Reserva Especial This red wine has no vintage and it is the tribute to tradition. The winery here sought to continue a

very old Spanish custom and also to combine the balance between vintages. Traditionally, in Spain, the very few wineries that

had a bottling process prepared two types of wines in each harvest: the one of the current year and another wine without a

specific harvest, which they called "Reserva Especial". It was a mixture of wines from the best harvest from which the most

representative wine of the winery was siphoned off.

Unico Reserva Especial is a fusion of different Unico vintages, with a maturing process that is probably the world's longest,

since it runs for at least ten years from the barrel to the bottle. 225-litre barrels of French and American wood, both new and

used, and 20,000-litre tanks. A long complex process for a great wine. The Reserva Especial combines the complexity of the

Unico multiplied by different vintages.

Valbuena is made from younger vines, and in years when Unico is not produced grapes normally destined for Unico will go

into Valbuena. It is only released after 5 years' ageing. Valbuena, is the purest expression of the Tinto Fino in Vega Sicilia. Tinto

Fino is clearly the predominant wine in the assemblage of the varieties that make up this magnificent wine. The other variety

used is Merlot, which is added to a greater or lesser extent depending on the vintage.

99

The Valbuena Tempranillo is obtained from plots located on gentle concave slopes that descend from the wasteland.

Those soils are made up of material that was eroded and accumulated as colluvial on the lower slopes, developing a high

profile soil, with a specific important evolution with the formation of a deep calcic horizon.

Valbuena provides us with a direct and understandable view of the greatness of this "terroir" with the direct influence of

each vintage. Its production remains unchanged meaning that it is each year's weather factors that mark the differences

between the different harvests. Fermentation at a controlled temperature with native yeast in stainless steel tanks.

Malolactic fermentation also takes place in stainless steel. After fermentation, it is aged 5 years, between wood and in

the bottle, which is why it is called Valbuena 5º. French and American wood, new and used 225-litre barrels, 20,000 litre

vats, a long and complex process for a great wine.

First appearing in the Portuguese land registry in 1715, Quinta do Noval is the only historic Port wine shipper to bear the name of its quinta, or vineyard.

Whilst its early ownership is uncertain, it was owned by the Rebello Valente family during the 18th century, a gift from Marquês do Pombal, Portugal’s

Prime Minister from 1750 to 1777. Ravaged by phylloxera in the 1880s, Quinta do Noval was sold in 1894 to Port shipper António José da Silva. It was

later owned by the Van Zeller family, who suffered a catastrophic fire at Vila Nova da Gaia in 1981. Taking advantage of technological advances and a

change in legislation in 1986, Noval moved its winemaking operations from the Vila Nova de Gaia entreposto to a purpose-built lodge at their estate

in the Douro, with air conditioning to mitigate the summer heat. Today Noval maintains a small quayside shop and office in Vila Nova de Gaia, but in

every other sense is now truly a “Quinta” led Port shipper.

In 1993 Quinta do Noval was bought by AXA Millésimes, a group that includes prestigious names such as Disznókő in Tokaj, Hungary, and the French

estates Château Pichon Baron in Pauillac, Château Suduiraut in Sauternes, Château Petit-Village in Pomerol and Domaine de l'Arlot in Burgundy. Under

the guidance of Christian Seely, Director since 1993, Noval replanted 1 00 hectares of the property with noble Douro grape varieties, adapting

plantation and pruning methods according to each parcel’s needs. Each plot was planted with individual grape varieties suited to the terroir according

to three criteria: altitude, exposition, and the required type of planting. Renowned Douro winemaker António Agrellos has worked with Christian Seely

as Technical Director of the property since the purchase of the Quinta in 1993. Together they have produced a series of award winning wines and

several 100 point Vintage Ports. The estate extends to 145 hectares and wines bearing the name Quinta do Noval are produced entirely from grapes

grown on the estate and foot trodden in stone lagares.

Quinta do Noval Nacional is made from ungrafted vines, a rarity in Europe, which succumbed to phylloxera in the 19th century. When the Quinta was

bought by Port shipper António José da Silva during the phylloxera outbreak in the late 19th century, the estate was thoroughly renovated and most of

the vineyard was replanted on phylloxera-resistant American rootstock. It seems that António José da Silva identified a small parcel of the vineyard

where phylloxera had been observed not to affect the vines and replanted this area with ungrafted vines. This is the origin of the Nacional parcel, the

first recorded bottling of which is the legendary 1931. This marked the beginning of the now legendary Quinta do Noval Nacional Port, produced

entirely from ungrafted vines.

Although the odd survivor is occasionally found, there is nothing quite like Noval’s Nacional vineyard. It comprises 1.8 hectare and more than 5,000

vines planted on traditional terraces. The name is derived from the fact that the vines are “attached to the soil of the nation” without recourse to

American rootstock. Vines are generally replanted on an individual basis when they become weak from age or disease. The vineyard’s average age is

about 35-years old, although there are individual vines up to 80-years old.

The Nacional vines are much less vigorous than the surrounding vineyard. Berries tend to be small, yielding around 15 hl/ha, compared to an average

of 30-35 hl/ha elsewhere on the estate. There is a relatively high percentage of Sousão grapes, which contributes colour to the blend. On picking, the

grapes are worked hard with five men treading for five days in a small lagar (which has a capacity of five pipes). Quinta do Noval Nacional is one of the

most powerfully concentrated of all vintage Ports with a deep opaque colour when young and an almost overpowering intensity of liquorice and bitter

chocolate fruit. Due to the extremely limited production, and infrequent declarations, Nacional is only available on a strict allocation basis.

Noval’s declaration of the 1931 vintage, when just three shippers had the temerity to declare, cemented its reputation as a great Port house. 1931 has

been revered as arguably the greatest vintage of the 20th century, and the 1931 Nacional is legendary for being the most expensive bottle of Port ever

sold. Following in this tradition, Noval has developed an idiosyncratic approach to vintage declarations with the belief that if a parcel of vines – however

small – produces a wine worthy of bearing the Quinta do Noval Vintage label, then it is worthy of release.

Quinta do Noval also has a great reputation for its tawny styles, and maintains small stocks of single vintage tawnies, Colheitas, dating back to 1937. In

exceptional years, certain lots of wine with great ageing potential and, occasionally, declassified Nacional wines, are set aside to spend their lives

maturing in casks. At a given stage, the Quinta decides to bottle part of a vintage. The rest is kept in casks where the wine will mature at a later stage,

opening new expressive possibilities. Thus, one and the same Colheita vintage can be put onto the market on 3 or 4 occasions: after 15 years, 30 years

or 40 years of maturing, and in some cases even longer.
