CHAMPAGNE

Champagne & Sparkling

CHAMPAGNEBILLECART-SALMONStill family run, the small house of Billecart-Salmon offers a range of black-grape-dominated Champagnes with bright, complex fruit flavours resulting from a long, slow, cool fermentation process. Particularly well known for its elegant Rosé, Billecart-Salmon is a Champagne house for wine lovers: many who discover it drink few other Champagnes thereafter.

Billecart-Salmon Brut Réserve NV €34.00Billecart-Salmon Brut Rosé NV €52.00

BOLLINGERBollinger La Grande Année 2008 €99.00Food pairing suggestion Great paired with truffled popcorn, Parma ham or rich seafood such as lobster or seared scallops, especially with a sauce.

DOM PERIGNONDom Pérignon, owned by Moët & Chandon, is an exclusively vintage prestige cuvée Champagne. It is made from roughly equal quantities (varying slightly according to the vintage) of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, grown only in the best vineyard sites in Champagne. During production, the wine sees no oak and is protected from oxidation as much as possible making it one of Champagne's most reductive, minerally styles with an overarching elegance, harmony and completeness. It is one of the most classic, famous, and eye-catching of all wines and consistently tastes as good as its reputation suggests it will.

Dom Pérignon 2008/9 €149.00Dom Pérignon Rosé 2006 €315.00

One of the most northern wine producing regions in the world, Champagne is located 90 miles north-east of Paris with 34,000 hectares of vines. Surrounding the Champagne hubs of Epernay and Reims,

the region produces around a million bottles of Champagne a day.

A technique said to have been invented by Dom Pérignon in 1688, Champagne is made using the traditional

method whereby a second fermentation is induced in the bottle, producing CO2 which becomes trapped,

resulting in a sparkling wine. Champagne style wines are now replicated all over the world.

These premium wines are usually made from a blend of grapes: Chardonnay to add fruit and elegance; the

red grapes, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, for body and backbone.

“Pale yet intense pink in color, the Billecart-Salmon NV Brut Rosé is pure,

fresh and intense on the nose, with lovely raspberry aromas, refreshing

citrus zest flavors and great definition. On the palate this is a pure, light and

vinous rosé with great finesse and a long, well-structured and even juicy

finish. Fabulous.”

Dom Pérignon2008

98+ptsVinous

“Lemon peel, white flowers, mint and white pepper give the 2008 its

chiseled, bright profile. Several recent bottles have all been magnificent.

What I admire most about the 2008 is the way it shows all the focus,

translucence and energy that is such a signature of the year, and yet it is also

remarkably deep and vertical. In other words, the 2008 is a Champagne that

plays in three dimensions.”

LAURENT-PERRIERChardonnay forms the core of most of Laurent-Perrier's cuvées giving the wines a fresh, elegant style. The exception to this is their Cuvée Rosé, for which the house is best known. Made from 100% Pinot Noir, it is unusual in that it is made by the tricky ‘saignée’ method. This is the technique by which the pink colour is obtained through maceration of the skins rather than the addition of red wine (the way most rosé Champagnes are made) and gives Laurent-Perrier Rosé its remarkable flavour.

LOUIS ROEDERERMost famous for their prestige cuvée Cristal which was first created in 1876 for the Tsar of Russia, Alexander II, the house of Louis Roederer is known for the sheer quality and style of their wines across the range. Roederer is the largest owner of organically-farmed (and increasingly, biodynamically-farmed) vineyards in Champagne. The wines are distinguished by their superb balance, finesse and elegance and their fine, creamy mousse.

RUINARTRuinart is Champagne's oldest house, with a history dating back to 1729. The Chardonnay grape is at the heart of all Ruinart's wines giving them freshness and bright fruit aromas. The wines, vinified non-oxidatively in stainless steel, have a minerally character in youth, developing toasty, smoky characteristics with bottle age.

Their philosophy and tagline is: “Cava with soul,” something sceptics might smirk at, at least until they taste them. All fruit is sourced from Penedes from organically cultivated vines and they concentrate upon Reserva and Gran Reserva only.”

ALTA ALELLAOrganic grapes produce a dry base wine which is then fermented according to the traditional method, as used in Champagne. Aged a minimum of 15 months on its yeast lees to impart a delicate bready flavour and released without any dosage making it the refreshing ultra-brut style. Unusually, no sulphites or other products are added in the whole process.

Sparkling wine is arguably the most technical style of wine in the world. Not only do these wines have to undergo a first fermentation in order to make alcohol, but also a second

fermentation to produce the carbon dioxide giving the wine its fizz. This is done either in the same way as Champagne, where the second fermentation takes place in the bottle, or by using

the tank method where it takes place inside a sealed tank.

Produced all around the world, sparkling wine comes in a huge range of styles, from bone dry to

perfumed and floral.

Rosé is produced in a variety of styles around the world, although perhaps the best known are those from Provence. Not only is this France’s oldest wine region, having been making wine for

over 2,600 years, but it is also the only one to focus on rosé.

It even has a research institute dedicated to the style. Dry, crisp and refreshing, these wines are a blend

of regional varieties such as Grenache, Carignan and Syrah.

GRAMONAGramona is one of the very finest Cava producers of all. The Xarel-lo-dominant wines are given considerable bottle aging, leading to a rich, autolytic style. A special dosage wine which has been matured in a solera fashion for over 100 years also adds complexity.

JOSE LUIS FERRERJosé Luis Ferrer started his winery in 1931 when viticulture on the island was in serious decline and practically all gone. Soon thereafter, the Spanish Civil War and the ensuing reign of Franco made commerce more challenging and tested Ferrer’s resolve. He refused to give in and continued to produce wine despite the odds. His hard work was rewarded in 1990 when the region was givenDO status. Mallorca is now righty regarded as one of the greatest places in Spain to make wine.

France produces 7-8 billion bottles of wine every year, second only to Italy in terms of volume. A key part of French culture, with 27 billion hectolitres being drunk in France

annually, wine is produced throughout the country in every style.

France’s long-standing wine heritage gave birth to the appellation system, designed to preserve regional wine styles, which has been emulated all over Europe.

France is also the source of many international grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Syrah, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay.

Located between the centre and north of France, the Loire valley stretches 600 miles east to west and accounts for 8% of the country’s vineyards including the famous appellations of

Sancerre, Pouilly-Fumé, Muscadet and Vouvray. Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé are situated at the far eastern end of the Loire valley and arguably produce the world’s greatest expressions

of Sauvignon Blanc. Sancerre also produces high quality reds and rosés from Pinot Noir.

The Loire is considered to be France’s most diverse wine region given the different climates and soil

Protected by the Vosges Mountains, Alsace is one of the driest regions in France and due to its northern latitude has very long hours of sunshine during the growing season. This helps to ripen the grapes and produce some of the world’s finest white wines.

The wines from Alsace are produced from noble varieties such as Riesling, Pinot Gris and

Gewurztraminer and unlike elsewhere in France, here, the name of the grape must appear on the

label. The best vineyard sites have been given Grand Cru status.

“Jadot’s 2009 Batard-Montrachet is rich, layered, sensual and totally

beguiling. Slate, smoke and crushed rocks are some of the notes that

develop in the glass, adding complexity to the highly expressive,

nuanced fruit.”

Pouilly-FuisséClos des Prouges

Domaine Ferret2015


“A clean and precise bouquet, quite nuanced at first before developing

more intensity: bruised green apple, freshly sliced pear and a touch of

spice. The palate is very well defined with crisp acidity, spicy at first with

hints of ginger that complement the citrus fruit, fanning out toward a

really convincing, quite delicious and sophisticated finish.”

“Lemon curd on the nose, with lemon peel and freshly cut flowers. Full and rich, offering a waxy and rich palate.

Long and oily, with lots going on.”

Condrieu InvitareM. Chapoutier

2016


“The 2016 Condrieu Invitare is fresh, clean and balanced, avoiding any of

the oiliness that can sometimes creep into Viognier. Lightly floral on the nose, it shows honeydew and apricot flavors,

medium to full body, and hints of white pepper and tannin on the l ong finish. It should drink well for

several years.”

“Very pure, with a precise and racy beam of honeysuckle, white peach,

light quinine thread that adds length and tension through the finish.”

COTE DE NUITSThe Côte de Nuits is a 20km stretch forming the northern part of the Côte d’Or, Burgundy’s

‘golden slope’, and it is here that most of the world’s finest examples of Pinot Noir

are produced. Named after the region’s largest village, Nuits-Saint-Georges, 22 out of

Burgundy’s 23 red Grands Crus are located here, expressing a variety of styles. They tend

to be weightier and deeper coloured than the Pinots produced on the Côte de Beaune.

Gevrey-Chambertin, Vougeot and Nuits-Saints-Georges are known for their robust style of

wine, whilst Chambolle-Musigny and Vosne-Romanée display finesse and elegance.

COTE DE BEAUNEDespite the Côte de Beaune being well-known for its white wines, there is actually more red

wine produced in the region. The Pinot Noirs from this southern half of the Côte d’Or show

softness and finesse with the best examples coming from Beaune, Pommard and Volnay as

well as the exceptionally powerful Grand Cru of Corton.

BORDEAUX

With 57 different appellations and 10,000 producers, Bordeaux is home to some of the world’s finest Châteaux, producing long-lasting wines of exceptional quality. 88% of the production of Bordeaux is red wine, or Claret as it is known in the UK,

made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. Bordeaux is also the source of dry whites made from Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, and some of the

world’s longest-lived sweet wines from Sauternes.

The wines of the Bordeaux left bank were classified in 1855 and only five have attained First Growth status - Château Lafite, Château Mouton Rothschild,

Château Latour, Château Margaux and Château Haut Brion. Those Châteaux that made it into any of the five tiers of this classification will have Grand Cru Classé

on the label.

LEFT BANK

MEDOCHome to many of the biggest names in Bordeaux, the Médoc is the most famous red wine region in the world and includes the renowned appellations of St Estèphe, Pauillac, St Julien and Margaux. Situated on the left bank of the Gironde estuary, the best vineyard sites are located on gravelly outcrops close to the river. The left bank is well suited to the production of Cabernet Sauvignon and the wines produced here will generally have this as the dominant grape in the blend.

ST ESTEPHEThis is the most northerly of the important communes of the Médoc. The wines here take on a rustic style due to the high proportion of clay in the soil. As a result they can seem austere in their youth, however they display good acidity and colour and are exceptionally long-lived.

PAUILLACConsidering that Pauillac is a small region of only 23km², three of the five First Growth Châteaux are located here – Château Latour, Château Lafite and Château Mouton Rothschild – with Grands Crus Classés representing 84% of the rest of the production. Fine, deep and gravelly soils mean that the vine roots reach a greater depth here than anywhere else in the Médoc. The resulting wines are intense and display great complexity.

ST JULIENSt Julien is the smallest of the well-known Médoc communes at only 700ha with a uniform style thanks to the gravelly soils. Despite having no First Growth properties, St Julien is considered to offer the most consistent wines across the board, with impressive offerings year after year.

MARGAUXThe largest commune in the Médoc, and home to First Growth Château Margaux, Margaux is famous for producing the most elegant and alluring wines of the Left Bank. With the lightest and most gravelly soils in the Médoc, the finest examples of Margaux are intensely perfumed whilst also subtle and refined.

PESSAC-LEOGNAN/GRAVESPessac-Léognan is a district within Graves that was created in 1986 due to pressure from the vignerons who wanted to disassociate themselves from growers further south in the commune where the soils are much sandier. Pessac-Léognan is home to Château Haut Brion, the only First Growth property outside of the Médoc.

RIGHT BANKPOMEROLPomerol is the smallest of the prestigious Bordeaux appellations with around only 150 producers and 740 hectares of vineyards. Demand and prices for these wines are high given that many of these are boutique growers making circa 1,000 cases a year. Pomerol is dominated by Merlot, producing rich and smooth wines, and features some iconic properties such as Château Pétrus.

ST EMILIONLocated on the right bank of the Dordogne, St Emilion is one of the most important Bordeaux appellations in terms of both quality and quantities produced. Merlot is the predominant grape variety and is perfectly suited to the clay and chalk-rich soils here. Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon are also grown. Given the high proportion of Merlot, these wines are much more approachable in youth than the more tannic examples produced on the left bank.

The bottles from this vineyard are famous not only for the powerful yet deceptively smooth wine inside, but also for the colourful labels brought out each year which are designed by a different artist for each vintage.

CHATEAU HAUT BRIONHaut Brion was the first wine estate to start bottling its own wine in the early 17th century, rather than selling in bulk to négociants, and it consequently gained in fame and value thanks in particular to claret lovers in London. It is therefore considered the forefather of the great Bordeaux growths. Naturally it was placed at the top of the famous 1855 Médoc Classification. “While I have always admired Haut-Brion, now I am addicted to its perfume and complexity.” Robert Parker

“From its dense purple color to its incredibly subtle but striking aromatics

to black currant and blueberry liqueur and spring flowers, this wine’s finesse,

elegant yet noble power and authority come through in a

compelling fashion.”

“Absolutely profound, with a complex bouquet of mulberries, black cherries,

black currants, graphite and subtle smoke and burning ember-like

achievement by the winemaking team of Bernard Magrez. Full-bodied, rich and multidimensional, this wine

clearly transcends the entire vintage.”

“The 2014 Domaine de l’Eglise has a lifted bouquet with blackberry,

2000


“It has a level of purity that one can only describe as profound, scents of black cherry, cassis, cedar and black

truffle unfolding with each passing moment in the glass. The palate has

exquisite balance with salinity that gets the saliva flowing. There is a

seam of spiciness, black pepper and rosemary that coat the mouth, but the

overall style at the moment is linear and focused.”

“An inky plum/purple color, stunning concentration, a boatload of tannin,

and unlimited upside potential. Sweet cassis, plum, vanilla and truffle notes are followed by a dense, deep,

profound wine with blackcurrant and black cherry fruit, high extraction, and

a multi-layered texture.”

this is an awesome Petrus.”

FRANCE

The northern Rhône contains some of the oldest vineyards in France producing elegant wines made from Syrah which are both powerful

and have the capacity to age. Hermitage and Côte-Rôtie are the stars of the north, needing at least a decade to show at their best. St

Joseph and Cornas produce more accessible examples whilst Crozes-Hermitage offers great value for money.

The valley floor opens out in the southern Rhône, with vines planted low to the ground in goblet formation to protect them from the strong

mistral winds. The soils here are made up of round stones from the ancient river bed and these retain the warmth of the day, helping

to fully ripen the grapes of the heat-loving Grenache. The best wine villages of the Côtes du Rhône have been given their own appellation

such as Gigondas and the well-known Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

Following the Rhône River from north to south, this southern French wine region is 250 km in length with 200 communes producing wine

in a wide range of styles.

flavors, supported by wonderful freshness, textured by plush tannins and finishing with fantastic tension.”

“A sweet nose of menthol, melted licorice, boysenberry, blueberry, and cassis. A broad wine with compelling

ITALY

Home to more than 2000 grape varieties and some of the oldest wine regions in the world, Italy produces more wine than any other country with the 2018 harvest reaching 48.5 million hectolitres. Italy has over 1 million vineyards under cultivation,

producing wines from almost every region, renowned worldwide for their broad variety.

Each region has its own style with the most significant in terms of both quantity and quality being Piedmont, Tuscany and Veneto.

Italy’s best-known grapes are Sangiovese, Nebbiolo, Pinot Grigio, Barbera and Montepulciano alongside international varieties, in particular Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.

PIEDMONTLocated in the north west of Italy, Piedmont has a continental climate influenced by its proximity to both the Alps and the Ligurian Apennines. Since Roman times,

Piedmont has been considered the fine wine capital of Italy and has the country’s highest proportion of DOC and DOCG wines even though it only accounts for

7% of its production.

Gavi DOCG is Piedmont’s best-known dry white wine made from the Cortese grape grown around the town of Gavi itself. Whites are also made from the indigenous Roero near the town of Arneis. Nebbiolo is the king of red wine grapes in Piedmont and is planted on all

of the best sites. Nebbiolo, the variety behind Barbaresco and Barolo, produces wines with pronounced aromas of tar, roses and truffles which age fantastically,

often needing at least ten years before they really come into their own.

Barbera and Dolcetto are grown around the towns of Asti and Alba producing easier drinking styles that are more accessible from a younger age.

BARBARESCOA third of the size of neighbouring Barolo, and 50 years

younger, Barbaresco is renowned for producing some of Italy’s finest wines. Thanks largely to the efforts of

Angelo Gaja, the region has been recognised for its real potential and it was granted DOCG

status is 1980.

BAROLOBarolo DOC was founded in 1966 and

upgraded to DOCG status in 1980, which seems appropriate given that this is not only Italy’s most

famous wine region, but is also widely regarded to be its best. Reds are made from 100% Nebbiolo which

capitalises on the long, warm summers and the unique terroir, with each village sitting upon its own hill

surrounded by vineyards.

TUSCANYItaly’s oldest wine region, Tuscany is also its fifth largest, producing

the third highest amount of DOCG quality wines despite only producing around 6% of the country’s volume of wine. This is largely due to the region’s poor soils which

encourage producers to grow small yields of high quality grapes.

Tuscany has a unique terrain with more than two thirds of it being hilly which benefits the predominant grape variety, Sangiovese, as it needs direct sunlight to ripen fully. Two of Italy’s most famous wines are found in

Tuscany – Chianti and Brunello di Montalcino.

SUPER TUSCANThe term ‘Super Tuscan’ first emerged in the 1970s to describe a new wave of wine being made outside of DOC/DOCG regulations

to a very high standard, and commanding high prices to match. Many of these wines achieved a cult following and as a result, the Italian classification system was changed to give these DOC or DOCG status. Some producers still prefer to use IGP Toscana.

Spain is the third largest producer of wines in the world with over a million acres under vine, more than any other country. Given the diversity of the country’s landscape and climates, and the fact that Spain is home to 60 regional DOs, it’s hardly surprising that it produces wines in a variety of styles.

From the fresh whites made from Albariño in Rías Baixas to top

end reds from Rioja and Ribera del Duero, there is a huge amount of

exciting wine available, offering fantastic value for money.

RIOJASpain’s most famous wine region, Rioja is situated in the north of the country just

south of the Cantabrian Mountains. The wines are normally a blend of grapes, the

majority being Tempranillo with some Garnacha and Graciano.

Traditional style Rioja is distinguished by long periods of barrel ageing, whereas the

modern style favours the fruit and freshness of Tempranillo. Rioja is only ever released onto

the market when it is ready to drink and as such, offers incredible value for money.

“Ripe citrus and orchard fruits, succulent herbs and a subtle floral

note on the mineral-accented nose. Silky and broad on entry and then

more taut in the mid-palate, offering bitter pear skin and Meyer lemon

flavors that are sweetened by a touch of honey on the back half. Repeats

the floral note on a nicely persistent finish that leaves a suggestion of bitter

quinine behind.”

PAGO DE LOS CAPELLANESIn the 13th and 14th centuries, a chapel existed in the nearby village of Pedrosa de Duero. The inhabitants of the village donated small parcels of land to the chaplains as a way to show their appreciation. The chaplains of Pedrosa came to have a sizeable landholding, but with the Mendizábal confiscation of 1855, the properties of the church and the clergy were given over to the Pedrosa city council. Despite this, the inhabitants of Pedrosa continued calling the area Pago de los Capellanes in honour of the chaplains.

CAMPO DE BORJABODEGAS ARAGONESASBodegas Aragonesas is the most famous name in Campo de Borja, in the hills around Zaragoza. Here the vineyards of old vines struggle to produce grapes against a backdrop of high altitude and an extremely arid climate. The consequence is incredible depth of flavours. The region has much history having produced wine since Roman times. Famously, the Borgia family who moved to Italy (and produced two Popes, amongst other claims to fame) originated in Borja, hence the name. These three red wines all capture the quality and heritage of the area.

Martúe Syrah2009


“The 2009 Martue Syrah sees 15 months in 80% French and 20%

American new oak. It has a boisterous, ripe, ostentatious bouquet with

iodine-scented black fruit. The palate is sweet and ripe on the entry with firm

grip. Notes of fruitcake, black currant, dark chocolate and tobacco inform the

middle and second half.”

Mustiguillo Mestizaje2016


“A blend of Bobal with 18% Syrah and 14% Garnacha fermented

separately and with some full clusters with indigenous yeasts. It matured

in French oak barrels and vats for ten months. Juicy and tasty—with

a mixture of red and black fruit and a chalky sensation in the palate. It finishes long and tasty. Very good

quality for the price asked.”

Obac Negre Ecòlogic2016


“A young, fruit-driven and straightforward red blend with some

berry aromas and an herbal touch. It’s juicy, fresh and quite simple.

Easy to drink.”

Anima Negra AN2015


“The 2015 AN is a blend of Callet with small amounts of Manto Negro and Fogoneu from 36 small plots on red

soils rich in limestone. Very balsamic, with a Mediterranean profile of

aromatic herbs intermixed with notes of cigar ash and graphite.”

Vinícola 4 Kilos

The Wine Advocate

“I tasted the latest wines from 4 Kilos, certainly the best I know from Mallorca.

Francesc Grimalt and Eloi Cedo have advanced in their understanding of the

A significant wine player, the USA is the fourth largest producer of wine after France, Italy and Spain, with wine produced in all 50 states.

California is by far the most significant state with it

accounting for 90% of the country’s wine output, from

tiny producers to some of the world’s largest brands.

Napa and Sonoma in California are responsible for

producing some of the world’s best Cabernet Sauvignon,

Merlot, Pinot Noir, Zinfandel and Chardonnay.

Washington in New York State produces some fantastic

Bordeaux blends whilst Oregon is known for outstanding

Pinot Noir.

It’s forward and juicy, yet built for medium-term aging.”

“Velvety textured, without a hard edge to be found, notes of crème de cassis,

blueberry, subtle wood and floral notes gently rise from the wine’s dense

purple color. Beautifully full-bodied and extraordinarily elegant and pure.”

Cabernet Sauvignon2013


“Has a dense ruby/purple color and complete symmetry in its tannin,

acidity, alcohol and wood. It is full-bodied, ripe, with loads of black fruits, a slight earthiness that gives it

a different element than the Sonoma cuvée, and seems slightly bigger and

richer than the Sonoma, but both are great values in the scheme of world-

class Cabernet Sauvignons.”

AUSTRALIA

Generally considered to be the most successful New World wine producer, largely due to building a brand around Shiraz, Australia produces wines in a wide variety of styles.

Shiraz and Chardonnay make up 44% of total plantings, with increasing amounts of Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir being grown.

The wine regions vary hugely: from the Barossa, home to the oldest vines in Australia and producing top quality Shiraz; to Clare Valley, famous for some of the country’s richest Rieslings.

NEW ZEALAND

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc has become synonymous with New Zealand and is now a brand in its own right. There is far more to the wine industry here than just Sauvignon however - fantastic Pinot Noir from Central Otago, Syrah from Hawkes Bay and Chardonnay from Marlborough, all displaying a purity of fruit unique to New Zealand.

SOUTH AFRICA

WHITECLOUDY BAYEstablished in 1985, Cloudy Bay was one of the first five wine makers to venture into Marlborough. At the time, it was almost an unimaginable place to set up a vineyard. However, Cloudy Bay's founder, David Hohnen, was convinced of its potential to produce great wine and so invested in the best land of the region. Since then, Marlborough has risen to become New Zealand's leading wine region, as well as one of the finest winemaking locations in the world.

Thanks to the hard work of several very talented winemakers and the privatisation of the state-controlled winemaking cooperative, the South African wine industry has taken

a huge change in direction in the last 20 years. Previously known for cheap wines that often ended up being distilled into brandy before hitting the shelves, the now vibrant

industry is earning a reputation for some of the most exciting wines on the market.South Africa is famous for Chenin Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon as well as the

indigenous Pinotage.
