Champagnes and Wines

Champagnes

Dom Perignon 2000
Named after the monk in charge of the cellars in the Abbey of Hautvillers at the end of the 17th century who is credited with having "invented" Champagne. Cuvee Dom Perignon has an almost mystical reputation. According to the brilliant winemaker-in-chief Richard Geoffroy, quality is based on harmony, a perfect blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes where nothing is lost and everything comes together. The 2000 vintage shows the proof of this to perfection.

Krug Grand Cuvee
Founded in Reims in 1843, the House of Krug is now managed by the 5th and 6th generations of the Krug family. Rigourous selection and care go into every detail of the "multi-vintage" Grande Cuvee, which offers a magical combination of aromatic complexity, power and finesse with a long, lingering finish. Krug is the ultimate experience in champagne.

White Wines

Petulama Chardonnay 2006 Adelaide Hills, Australia
The Adelaide Hills is one of Australia's most exciting new cool climate regions. And being cool, the Chardonnay from this region is far more refined and elegant than wines from warmer sites. The grapes for this wine were harvested from seven "distinguished sites" in the Piccadilly Valley sub-region of the Adelaide Hills. The grapes were puicked and fermented in French barriques. The wine has wonderful fruit purity combined with minerality and light acidity. Produced by Andrew Hardy, Petulama certainly deserves its iconic status in Australia.

Rudesheimer Riesling Spatlese 2006 Rheingau Balthasar Ress
The family-owned Ress Estate dates from 1870 and is one of the most important in Germany's famous Rheingau region. Above the little town of Rudesheim on the river Rhine the Riesling vines grow on steeply terraced south-facing slopes, whose rocky barren soils originating from quartz and slate always provide outstanding natural ripeness and concentration. Showing a lemon yellow colour, white flower aromas with a hint of honeysuckle and fresh limes, soft summer fruits on the palate and a refreshing acidity that balances the touch of sweetness, the 2006 vintage, small but of excellent quality, is now simply delicious.

Red Wines

Chateau Cos d'Estournel 2004 Saint-Estephe
With 65 hectares of superbly situated vineyards that adjoin those of Chateau Lafite-Rothschild in neighbouring Pauillac, Cos d'Estournel is recognised as the leading estate in Saint-Estephe. The wine is known for its intense classic Cabernet Sauvignon fruit blended with carefully selected Merlot to provide a rich roundness on the finish. Deep black cherry red, with aromas of crushed summer berries, the succulent concentration of flavour on the palate is now beginning to open up to show the quality and finish of the excellent 2004 vintage.

Mr Riggs The Gaffer Shiraz 2005 McLaren Vale, Australia
Mr Riggs also known as Ben, has been making wine in McLaren Vale for over 21 years. His Mr Riggs Shiraz is one of the most exciting in the region. It is rich, ripe and full bodied and despite being matured for 12 months in French Oak barrels, it has a fruit purity that fully expresses the region in which it has grown. The wine is named in honour of Ben's great-great-great-grandfather who was known as The Gaffer, a colloquial term for the boss or foreman.

Port

Dow's 20 Year Old Tawny Port, Portugal
Dow possesses some of the finest vineyards in the Upper Duoro and is one of the oldest names in the history of Port, dating back to 1798. The beautifully balanced Tawny Port is carefully matured over 20 years in wooden barrels known as "pipes" before being bottled. Light tawny in colour, showing mature raisiny fruit aromas with hints of honey. It is rich and nutty on the palate, with a wonderful balance, a clean crisp finish and a soft lingering aftertaste.

Vinothek

Champagne

“D” de Devaux Brut, Champagne Veuve Devaux, Frankreich
Like so many champagne houses, the house of Devaux, founded in 1846, also has to thank a widow for its success. The widow, Augusta Devaux, made the business a success in the second half of the 19th century, thereby bringing herself into the ranks of the famous champagne widows. This cuvee "D" ties in with the success of the great champagnes. It is a composition whose complex interaction of aromas is reminiscent of elder blossom, orange zest and fine, nutty notes. On the palate the freshness of the chardonnay knits perfectly with the fruit and opulence of the pinot noir. The widow would no doubt be proud to know that her champagne was the winner of the Lufthansa blind tasting.

Aperitif

Campari
A red mild bitters-type cordial.

Sherry "La Guita"
A classic Sherry with fruity flavor and a taste of elegant saltiness, typical of Manzanilla Sherry.

Monthly Proposal

2005 Stellenboch Pinotage, Kanonkop, Sudafrika
Even the name is a little bit of history and comes from a hill where a canon was fired off in the 17th century to warn the local peasants that ships had arrived in Cape Town's harbour. The peasants then loaded up their team of oxen and took their home-grown produce, mostly fresh fruit and vegetables, to Cape Town. The seamen and travellers were grateful recipients. It seems like you can sense the breath of history on this ancient family wine estate in its beautiful location. This is also true in the vineyards where the over 50 year old Pinotage vines were planted in the traditional way as bush vines. This training method ensures optimum exposure to sunlight and the vines require less water. The wine is even made in the ancient traditional way in open vinification tanks, which are broad and flat rather than high and deep so that contact with the grape skins is maximised. The young wine then matures for 16 months in French Nevers oak barriques.
The result is delightful with its deep purple colour and almost black centre. The bouquet is intense, suggesting blackcurrants, ripe plums and juicy blackberries as well as a subtle spiciness from the wood and a powerful mineral streak. On the palate this superb wine shows its powerful character, wonderful length and ripe tannins. This is a wine which exemplifies why cellarmaster Abrie Beeslaar was voted the world's best winemaker in 2008.

White Wine

2008 "Semper Vivum" Riesling Spatlese trocken, Weingut Motzenbacker, Deutschland
The writer, Karl May, was once a guest in the Florentine palace belonging to the Motzenbacker family, and allowed himself to be pampered with their fine rieslings. Today First Class passengers can enjoy one of the wines from this richly traditional wine estate in the Palatinate. The vineyards are in the best sites in the Mittelhaardt and guarantee pure wine pleasure. This dry riesling Spatlese has intense, juicy fruit, touches of ripe apricots, as well as a hint of pineapple and fresh herbs. The palate of this superb wine is characterised by lively acidity counterbalanced with fruity sweetness.

2007 Russian River Valler Chardonnay "Directors Cut", Francis Ford Coppola, USA
Francis Ford Coppola is not just an exceptionally gifted film director but also a passionate winemaker. He has created ideal conditions in Sonoma County for his team with winemaker Cory Beck. This wine is from the perfect 2007 vintage and was vinified in small French oak barrels. The young wine was then matured for 12 months in the barriques, and this has had a profound influence on the wine's character. It shows an effusive array of aromas including vanilla, subtle toasty notes, ripe apple, juicy pear, exotic passion fruit and a touch of pineapple. On the palate the wine combines power, elegance and freshness.

2009 Leyda Vineyard "Limited Selection" Sauvignon Blanc, Montes, Chile
Leyda Valley is the youngest and smallest quality wine-producing region in Chile. The vineyards are near the Pacific coast and the quality of the grapes is thereby influenced by the cool climate with its morning mists and moderate day-time temperatures giving a longer ripening period. This allows top-class wines to be produced. Thanks to careful handling, this sauvignon blanc has retained all the intrinsic fruit of the grapes. With its powerful aromatics, clearly suggestive of ripe mango, passion-fruit, grapefruit and gooseberries as well as citrus notes and a subtle spiciness, this wine is an absolute classic. On the palate the wine has good structure and is well-balanced with a long, persistent finish.

Red Wine

2005 Duoro Reserva, Quinta das Tecedeiras, Portugal
Portugal has some real discoveries to offer. Indigenous grapes, such as tourgia nacional, tinta roriz, tinta barocca, touriga franca and the tinta amarela, some of which are over a hundred years old, dig their roots deep into the slate bedrock in the heart of the Duoro Valley. Port, with its opulent style, used to be made from these grapes, however today outstanding red wines are made, such as this Reserva, which is most pleasing with its intense berry fruit, ripe aromas and juicy character on the palate.

2002 Chateau Belgrave, Cru Classe, Haut-Medoc, Frankreich
This renowned Chateau, situated in Saint Laurent, is one of the oldest wine estates in the region. Its name points to the quality of the soil, as the translation of "Belgrave" means "beautiful pebbles". The famous oenologist Michel Rolland is the consultant here and the wine style combines both classic and modern elements, as can be noted particularly in the bouquet with its ripe fruit aromas and discrete toastiness, as well as the silky tannins and excellent length on the palate.

Dessert Wine

2005 Tokaija Edes Late Harvest, Oremus, Ungarn
The wines from Tokaj are legendary: Catherine the Great had a wine board of thirty people to secure the best wines for her; it helped Beethoven whilst he was composing and Voltaire let himslef be inspired by it. The grapes, which succumb to noble rot very easily, thrive on the volcanic soils and in the Pannonian climate in the eastern part of Hungary. The result is wine of great concentration and depth, such as this wine from the top wine estate, Oremus. This Tokaj has most appealing aromatics with touches of honey, pear, apricot, candied lemon peel and gentle spices and its opulence is tamed by elegant acidity.

Monthly Proposal

Etter Weihnactspflumli, Schweiz
People throughout history have always like to enjoy themselves. Spiced wine was all the rage in the late middle ages, as back then spice specialties from Asia cost a fortune and a host was judged by the amount of spices proffered, not by how they tasted. Switzerland was no exception to this and therefore spiced wines such as the red "Hypocras", aromatic liqueurs or spicy pepper cake were offered to guests, especially at Christmas. Old recipes from the rich patrician houses show that food and beverages were often so "peppered" that they were no pleasure at all to eat or drink. The amount of spices used was often far too much as a means of showing off an individual's wealth under the premise "more is more". However, when used in the right doses, spices at Christmas time can be a true delight. The best example of this is the Christmas plum liqueur from Etter. This liqueur picks up on the tradition of producing finely spiced specialties. The basis for this liqueur, produced especially for the festive season, is the pure fruit brandy, "Lohrpflumli". The juice of the Lohr plum, together with a secret mixture of Christmassy spices such as cinnamon, coriander and cloves, gives this superb plum brandy a fruity taste, which combines perfectly with gentle hints of spice. Highly enjoyable, this brandy manages to unite an old tradition with modern times.

Vinothek

Champagne

“D” de Devaux Brut, Champagne Veuve Devaux, Frankreich
Like so many champagne houses, the house of Devaux, founded in 1846, also has to thank a widow for its success. The widow, Augusta Devaux, made the business a success in the second half of the 19th century, thereby bringing herself into the ranks of the famous champagne widows. This cuvee "D" ties in with the success of the great champagnes. It is a composition whose complex interaction of aromas is reminiscent of elder blossom, orange zest and fine, nutty notes. On the palate the freshness of the chardonnay knits perfectly with the fruit and opulence of the pinot noir. The widow would no doubt be proud to know that her champagne was the winner of the Lufthansa blind tasting.

Aperitif

Campari
A red mild bitters-type cordial.

Sherry "La Guita"
A classic Sherry with fruity flavor and a taste of elegant saltiness, typical of Manzanilla Sherry.

Monthly Proposal

2005 Stellenboch Pinotage, Kanonkop, Sudafrika
Even the name is a little bit of history and comes from a hill where a canon was fired off in the 17th century to warn the local peasants that ships had arrived in Cape Town's harbour. The peasants then loaded up their team of oxen and took their home-grown produce, mostly fresh fruit and vegetables, to Cape Town. The seamen and travellers were grateful recipients. It seems like you can sense the breath of history on this ancient family wine estate in its beautiful location. This is also true in the vineyards where the over 50 year old Pinotage vines were planted in the traditional way as bush vines. This training method ensures optimum exposure to sunlight and the vines require less water. The wine is even made in the ancient traditional way in open vinification tanks, which are broad and flat rather than high and deep so that contact with the grape skins is maximised. The young wine then matures for 16 months in French Nevers oak barriques.
The result is delightful with its deep purple colour and almost black centre. The bouquet is intense, suggesting blackcurrants, ripe plums and juicy blackberries as well as a subtle spiciness from the wood and a powerful mineral streak. On the palate this superb wine shows its powerful character, wonderful length and ripe tannins. This is a wine which exemplifies why cellarmaster Abrie Beeslaar was voted the world's best winemaker in 2008.

White Wine

2008 "Semper Vivum" Riesling Spatlese trocken, Weingut Motzenbacker, Deutschland
The writer, Karl May, was once a guest in the Florentine palace belonging to the Motzenbacker family, and allowed himself to be pampered with their fine rieslings. Today First Class passengers can enjoy one of the wines from this richly traditional wine estate in the Palatinate. The vineyards are in the best sites in the Mittelhaardt and guarantee pure wine pleasure. This dry riesling Spatlese has intense, juicy fruit, touches of ripe apricots, as well as a hint of pineapple and fresh herbs. The palate of this superb wine is characterised by lively acidity counterbalanced with fruity sweetness.

2007 Russian River Valler Chardonnay "Directors Cut", Francis Ford Coppola, USA
Francis Ford Coppola is not just an exceptionally gifted film director but also a passionate winemaker. He has created ideal conditions in Sonoma County for his team with winemaker Cory Beck. This wine is from the perfect 2007 vintage and was vinified in small French oak barrels. The young wine was then matured for 12 months in the barriques, and this has had a profound influence on the wine's character. It shows an effusive array of aromas including vanilla, subtle toasty notes, ripe apple, juicy pear, exotic passion fruit and a touch of pineapple. On the palate the wine combines power, elegance and freshness.

2009 Leyda Vineyard "Limited Selection" Sauvignon Blanc, Montes, Chile
Leyda Valley is the youngest and smallest quality wine-producing region in Chile. The vineyards are near the Pacific coast and the quality of the grapes is thereby influenced by the cool climate with its morning mists and moderate day-time temperatures giving a longer ripening period. This allows top-class wines to be produced. Thanks to careful handling, this sauvignon blanc has retained all the intrinsic fruit of the grapes. With its powerful aromatics, clearly suggestive of ripe mango, passion-fruit, grapefruit and gooseberries as well as citrus notes and a subtle spiciness, this wine is an absolute classic. On the palate the wine has good structure and is well-balanced with a long, persistent finish.

Red Wine

2005 Duoro Reserva, Quinta das Tecedeiras, Portugal
Portugal has some real discoveries to offer. Indigenous grapes, such as tourgia nacional, tinta roriz, tinta barocca, touriga franca and the tinta amarela, some of which are over a hundred years old, dig their roots deep into the slate bedrock in the heart of the Duoro Valley. Port, with its opulent style, used to be made from these grapes, however today outstanding red wines are made, such as this Reserva, which is most pleasing with its intense berry fruit, ripe aromas and juicy character on the palate.

2002 Chateau Belgrave, Cru Classe, Haut-Medoc, Frankreich
This renowned Chateau, situated in Saint Laurent, is one of the oldest wine estates in the region. Its name points to the quality of the soil, as the translation of "Belgrave" means "beautiful pebbles". The famous oenologist Michel Rolland is the consultant here and the wine style combines both classic and modern elements, as can be noted particularly in the bouquet with its ripe fruit aromas and discrete toastiness, as well as the silky tannins and excellent length on the palate.

Dessert Wine

2005 Tokaija Edes Late Harvest, Oremus, Ungarn
The wines from Tokaj are legendary: Catherine the Great had a wine board of thirty people to secure the best wines for her; it helped Beethoven whilst he was composing and Voltaire let himslef be inspired by it. The grapes, which succumb to noble rot very easily, thrive on the volcanic soils and in the Pannonian climate in the eastern part of Hungary. The result is wine of great concentration and depth, such as this wine from the top wine estate, Oremus. This Tokaj has most appealing aromatics with touches of honey, pear, apricot, candied lemon peel and gentle spices and its opulence is tamed by elegant acidity.

Monthly Proposal

Etter Weihnactspflumli, Schweiz
People throughout history have always like to enjoy themselves. Spiced wine was all the rage in the late middle ages, as back then spice specialties from Asia cost a fortune and a host was judged by the amount of spices proffered, not by how they tasted. Switzerland was no exception to this and therefore spiced wines such as the red "Hypocras", aromatic liqueurs or spicy pepper cake were offered to guests, especially at Christmas. Old recipes from the rich patrician houses show that food and beverages were often so "peppered" that they were no pleasure at all to eat or drink. The amount of spices used was often far too much as a means of showing off an individual's wealth under the premise "more is more". However, when used in the right doses, spices at Christmas time can be a true delight. The best example of this is the Christmas plum liqueur from Etter. This liqueur picks up on the tradition of producing finely spiced specialties. The basis for this liqueur, produced especially for the festive season, is the pure fruit brandy, "Lohrpflumli". The juice of the Lohr plum, together with a secret mixture of Christmassy spices such as cinnamon, coriander and cloves, gives this superb plum brandy a fruity taste, which combines perfectly with gentle hints of spice. Highly enjoyable, this brandy manages to unite an old tradition with modern times.

Champagnes and Wines

Champagnes

Dom Perignon 2000
Named after the monk in charge of the cellars in the Abbey of Hautvillers at the end of the 17th century who is credited with having "invented" Champagne. Cuvee Dom Perignon has an almost mystical reputation. According to the brilliant winemaker-in-chief Richard Geoffroy, quality is based on harmony, a perfect blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes where nothing is lost and everything comes together. The 2000 vintage shows the proof of this to perfection.

Krug Grand Cuvee
Founded in Reims in 1843, the House of Krug is now managed by the 5th and 6th generations of the Krug family. Rigourous selection and care go into every detail of the "multi-vintage" Grande Cuvee, which offers a magical combination of aromatic complexity, power and finesse with a long, lingering finish. Krug is the ultimate experience in champagne.

White Wines

Petulama Chardonnay 2006 Adelaide Hills, Australia
The Adelaide Hills is one of Australia's most exciting new cool climate regions. And being cool, the Chardonnay from this region is far more refined and elegant than wines from warmer sites. The grapes for this wine were harvested from seven "distinguished sites" in the Piccadilly Valley sub-region of the Adelaide Hills. The grapes were puicked and fermented in French barriques. The wine has wonderful fruit purity combined with minerality and light acidity. Produced by Andrew Hardy, Petulama certainly deserves its iconic status in Australia.

Rudesheimer Riesling Spatlese 2006 Rheingau Balthasar Ress
The family-owned Ress Estate dates from 1870 and is one of the most important in Germany's famous Rheingau region. Above the little town of Rudesheim on the river Rhine the Riesling vines grow on steeply terraced south-facing slopes, whose rocky barren soils originating from quartz and slate always provide outstanding natural ripeness and concentration. Showing a lemon yellow colour, white flower aromas with a hint of honeysuckle and fresh limes, soft summer fruits on the palate and a refreshing acidity that balances the touch of sweetness, the 2006 vintage, small but of excellent quality, is now simply delicious.

Red Wines

Chateau Cos d'Estournel 2004 Saint-Estephe
With 65 hectares of superbly situated vineyards that adjoin those of Chateau Lafite-Rothschild in neighbouring Pauillac, Cos d'Estournel is recognised as the leading estate in Saint-Estephe. The wine is known for its intense classic Cabernet Sauvignon fruit blended with carefully selected Merlot to provide a rich roundness on the finish. Deep black cherry red, with aromas of crushed summer berries, the succulent concentration of flavour on the palate is now beginning to open up to show the quality and finish of the excellent 2004 vintage.

Mr Riggs The Gaffer Shiraz 2005 McLaren Vale, Australia
Mr Riggs also known as Ben, has been making wine in McLaren Vale for over 21 years. His Mr Riggs Shiraz is one of the most exciting in the region. It is rich, ripe and full bodied and despite being matured for 12 months in French Oak barrels, it has a fruit purity that fully expresses the region in which it has grown. The wine is named in honour of Ben's great-great-great-grandfather who was known as The Gaffer, a colloquial term for the boss or foreman.

Port

Dow's 20 Year Old Tawny Port, Portugal
Dow possesses some of the finest vineyards in the Upper Duoro and is one of the oldest names in the history of Port, dating back to 1798. The beautifully balanced Tawny Port is carefully matured over 20 years in wooden barrels known as "pipes" before being bottled. Light tawny in colour, showing mature raisiny fruit aromas with hints of honey. It is rich and nutty on the palate, with a wonderful balance, a clean crisp finish and a soft lingering aftertaste.
