Champagne

We love Champagne - no we ADORE Champagne! From its beginnings in the court of

King James (according to research, THE BRITS actually invented the stuff), Champagne

was heralded as a luxury wine, fit to grace the highest tables and compliment the finest

cuisine, saying that, it's also rather good with simple fish and chips! Made from a blend

of the red Pinots (Noir and Meunier) and the white Chardonnay, fermented first to make

a still crisp wine and then double fermented in the bottle in which it is served. The art

is in the initial blending and the final process of ridding the wine of sediment.

A fresh style that is not too dry and can be enjoyed anytime, with or without food.

Champagne - Rose

The rose wines of Champagne are produced either by leaving the clear juice of black

grapes to macerate on its skins for a brief time or, more commonly by adding a small

amount of still Pinot Noir red wine to the sparkling wine cuvee. Rose Champagne is one

of the few wines that allows the production of Rose by the addition of red wine. This

ensures a predictable and reproducible colour from year to year. Due to the

comparatively high risk and cost of using the saignee or 'skin contact only' technique

there are very few producers who habitually do not add any additional red wine. These

include Laurent Perrier and Louis Roederer.

Sparkling Wine

Many years ago we thought of sparkling wine as simply 'a poor mans Champagne'. No

longer! Often made the same way as Champagne, using the same grapes and process,

the quality of these wines have risen dramatically. England has staked its claim to be

central to this continuing success as the south of England shares the same climate and

soil as our more illustrious French cousins.

White Burgundy

Some of the most famous wines are produced here - most commonly white wines which

are made from Chardonnay grapes. Chardonnay-dominated Chablis is formally part of

the Burgundy region, but wines from the sub region are usually referred to by their own

name rather than 'burgundy wines'.

Young Charles Ballot is a winemaking genius, his deft hand is responsible for this knockout wine, sumptuous waves of ever changing, subtle fruit and a fresh, minerally acidity in perfect balance.

White Burgundy - Chablis

Among wine jokes, the one where someone says they don't like Chardonnay but love

Chablis, has to be one of the classics, over used as it may be.

Chablis is the northern most district of the French wine region of Burgundy - so far north

in fact that it is closer to Champagne than the most of Burgundy.

Chablis wine is made, surprise-surprise, from 100% Chardonnay. Whatever you may think

of the joke, you can argue that it reflects a popular perception of Chardonnay as being

very oaky, in contrast with Chablis which represents a light, elegant style of Chardonnay.

has taken on a different production procedure, giving a destinctive fresh flavour.

Sauvignon Blanc

Could this be our favourite grape? The mighty, nay, noble Sauvignon Blanc, grown widely

throughout the world shows such a diversity of styles and flavours that it is often hard to

pinpoint exactly what it is we love about this grape. Could it be the cutting acidity,

freshness and pungency, the striking fruit character that runs the gamut between

delicate cut grass, brash elderflower all the way to tropical passion-fruit? New Zealand

seems to capture most attention as it continues to develop vibrant, racy, intense wines

with full on flavours, whilst the Loire producers in France march on making traditional

dry whites with great minerality that are perfect with shellfish or river fish.

bank, the two Cabernets are grown side by side which makes the rich cassis and pepper

backboned clarets. Both dark skinned, they provide essential tannins, that adds structure

Pomerol

Is the smallest wine producing area in Bordeaux and is more a community

where the vineyards are family-shared. You will not find large Chateau's

as in the Medoc area, however, Pomerol hosts one of the most famous

wines of all: Petrus. The wines can have exclusive velvety quality and

are supposedly at their very best when the bottle reaches the age

The Medoc is situated north of the town of Bordeaux, on the left bank

of the Gironde, and is divided in two parts, the Haut-Medoc in the south,

near the town, and the north part traditionally called Medoc. The wines

are delicate, medium coloured, fine and elegant; often tannic when

young, harmonious and splendid when matured.

St-Julien

Just a little bit less powerful than Pauillac and more rustic than

St-Estephe, St-Julien wines are very aromatized, harmonious and

well balanced reds. Here there are 11 Grand Crus Classes (great

growths) and the quality is so good, that second wines from these

Chateaux's are very attractive!

a few years an opulent bouquet develops with aromas of blackcurrant

and cedar.

the wines come from the southern areas. Oops, there goes another Grenache grape

Beaujolais and the fruity ones

Beaujolais is always released the third Thursday of November at one minute past

must be picked by hand. These are the only vineyards, along with Champagne, where

hand harvesting is mandatory. Beaujolais is a very light, fruity, and easy to drink. It

typically has aromas of pear and banana. The Gamay grape is often used, which is

hints of liquorice, smoky meat, coffee and truffle. The New World Shiraz reds will display

a more generous and warm flavour of jammy black fruits, cassis, mulberry and often be

supported by a sweeter oak.
