精品名酒

A long period of ageing in small oak barrels was needed to round off this very powerful wine. Citrus and fresh fruit aromas combine with candied apricot and green almonds on the nose. Great length on the palate matched with fruity freshness and vivacity, and a strong impression of honey and acacia blossom.

This great vintage of Petit Cheval reveals the complexity of the wine. One should easily find white fruits and floral notes that intertwine mineral. The crunchy and juicy mouth develops a beautiful fullness in the mid-palate that demonstrates the long maturation in wood tanks.

This Pouilly-Fuissé opens with creamy honeysuckle on the nose. A generous mouthfeel complements a nice ripeness and intense richness with notes of gingerbread and flowers. The wine is ample, smooth and well balanced, with a vivid, spicy finish. With age, it will gain in richness and fully reveal itself. Pair with chicken prepared with Thai spices, gratin of scallops with a curried sauce, veal with vanilla and sultanas, and rich, creamy cow's milk cheeses.

Pops of hazelnut and cream lend richness to this ripe, lusciously textured Chablis. Bright lemon and yellow-apple flavors on the palate maintain the appellation's characteristic steeliness and nerve but this mouthfilling Chardonnay is welcoming young and likely to drink well through 2035.

All grapes harvested by hand. Noël Pinguet was one of the first French vignerons to adopt biodynamic viticulture and credit biodynamics with enhancing the personalities of the estate's terroirs. Pétillant, also known as Methode Ancestrale, is a sparkling wine method where the wine is bottled before primary fermentation is finished, resulting in a lower pressure sparkling wine. It is called "pétillant" because only a portion of the fermentation occurs inside the bottle. Yeast is added to ensure the fermentation progresses smoothly.

Delicate bubbles wrapped in intense salmon pink colored Rose. Red berry-fruit aromas (ripe redcurrants, cherries, wild strawberries) give way to notes of plum. This Rose is fresh and full, and has a fine finish with surprising notes of peach and apricot. The time and place for this Rose is whenever life calls for color. With afternoon tea... at a private view... to celebrate a proposal... or toast a new arrival. Excellent with finely spiced or sweet andsour dishes.

The inner freshness of this champagne is combined with a mature and concentrated nose displaying a balance of firmness and delicacy. It will perfectly match sweet and firm fleshy food, such as some shellfish prepared in the most natural manner, for example a starter of crayfish, lobster, crab and rock lobster salad drawn out with a dash of olive oil and hazelnut vinegar."

France- An elegant Champagne with a smoky, minerally underpinning and subtle flavors of poached pear, toast, candied lemon zest and ginger riding the finely detailed bead. Harmonious, and hard to stop sipping. Pairs well with smoked fish and zesty grilled chicken.

Left Bank Bordeaux properties are typically not contiguous. Although we associate them with a place, a chateau, most of the time the vines are spread far and wide across the appellation. And as most of you know, if those vines are within the appellation, no matter where they are or whose they once were, they are considered the quality level of the current owner. Meaning if Chateau Latour buys some vineyards way on the outskirts of Pauillac near the Haut Medoc, those vineyards are instantly First Growth vineyards. A little quixotic, right? Most chateaux know that this situation really won’t stand for the fine connoissuer and his or her palate. To continue the example, if they are drinking Chateau Latour, or Font de Latour, or Pauillac de Latour, they want it to taste like Latour. So most Left Bank chateaux have gone on a program of buying, swapping, or otherwise exchanging vineyards with one another. So that all of Latour’s vineyards, no matter which wine they are destined for, taste like Latour and are grown near the famous tower (Latour has no chateau anymore). And so it is the case with Lynch Bages. Jean Marc Cazes, the owner of Lynch-Bages, is nothing short of a visionary. Not only has he undertaken the revitalization of the hamlet of Bages, as well as opening Bordeaux to wine tourisim and promoting gastronomy, he has completely refurbished Lynch-Bages and has spent the last 20 years on a program of purchasing, renovating, swapping and exchanging vineyards so that the estate’s wines can all align. That brings us to this bargain of a beauty in Bordeaux – Lynch-Bages Pauillac. “Pauillac” used to be a third wine of Lynch-Bages – fruit from those far-flung areas in Pauillac away from the main chateau. But now, that is certainly not the case – it sits right alongside Echo de Lynch-Bages (the known second wine), if not actually displacing it. All of those far-flung parcels have now been swapped, and this is home-turf vineyards, the building blocks of Lynch-Bages. Why not just make more Echo and discontinue this wine? Well, I have a sneaking suspicion it’s because of the Bordeaux wine trade. The main wine and the second are sold through the merchant houses of Bordeaux. This wine is represented globally by the Cazes family – eliminating at least two middlemen in the process. For us, this means everything I mentioned before – one of the finest of Pauillac’s properties, in one of the best vintages, at an exceptional drink-now kinda price: A pure burst of dark red and blue fruits emerges from the glass, immediately followed by graphite, leather, a touch of mint, mocha and very expressive floral notes. I’m tasting from a Zalto Bordeaux and nothing could be more profound: There is a seamless integration here that yields up exceptional drinking. It’s fresh, lively and open for business right now. I prefer it decanted. And it. certainly doesn’t need to be drunk up – this beauty will last for at least another decade.

Jean-Marc’s friend’s parcel in Les Raclots is 60 years old, planted in the appellation’s classic clay-limestone terrain. This cuvée offers a similar saline impression to the “Les Gaudoirs,” but with greater power and depth of fruit, and a sense of underlying richness that stops short of viscosity. “Les Raclots” more than holds its own against some of Jean-Marc’s more gras-oriented Chassagne-Montrachet 1er crus, and it should age terrifically.

Domaine Zind-Humbrecht Riesling Roche Roulee Alsace 2018 The nose shows intense white fruit aromas, classic Riesling intensity without the more stony character often found on richer wines. The palate feels surprisingly intense, while finishing very dry but without any tightness. An easy wine to enjoy in its youth. Enjoy as an aperitif or with shellfish or light, white fish varieties.
