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.

or

“Rare”, Champagne Piper-Heidsieck, Frankreich
Régis Camus, the cellar master at Piper-Heidsieck, has brought together the best vineyards for the champagne grape varieties chardonnay and pinot noir in this pre-stige cuvee. The grapes from each vineyard are vinified separately in order to achieve a multi-faceted composition later. Chardonnay brings delicate floral notes, as well as a fresh minerality, to the cuvee, whilst pinot noir enhances the whole with its fruit, power and weight. Thus the “Rare” has an elegant palate structure and refreshing mousse.

Monthly Proposal

2003 Assmannshäuser Höllenberg Spätlese trocken, Domäne Assmannshausen, Deutschland
The wines from this steep, slatey vineyard have enjoyed an excellent reputation since 1108 and the vineyard name has no doubt contributed to this. It is not clear whether the name Höllenberg (hells mountain) suggests that the climate here is as hot as hell, or whether the growers have to work like hell in these steep vineyards, or whether the wine just tastes damned good (in German “hellishly” good). The answer is actually quite simple : “Höllen” are nothing other than steep slopes, although this explanation is almost too profane for such a fine wine. The state winery of Kloster Eberbach (Eberbach monastery) and its domaine continues the tradition of the Cistercian monks from Burgundy. The monks not only founded the monastery but also brought pinot noir vines to the Rheingau. The minks would definitely have been proud of the extraordinary 2003 vintage. The wine has an intense, ruby red color with touches of garnet. The bouquet is complex with aromas reminiscent of ripe raspberries, blackberries, and cherries with a touch of dark chocolate. On the palate this powerful red wine is characterised by its velvety character, intense fruit flavour and long, persistent finish.

Apéritif

Campari
A red mild bitters-type cordial

Sherry “La Guita”
A classic Sherry with fruity flavour and a taste of elegant saltiness, typical for Manzanilla Sherry.

Lufthansa Cocktail
This cocktail with aromas of juicy oranges, sweet almonds and fine berry fruits develops its full flavour when served chilled or “on the rocks” and can also be very refreshing if mixed with sparkling wine.

White Wine

2006 Riesling Spätlese trocken, Weingut Kruger-Rumpf, Deutschland

The Kruger-Rumpf family’s philosophy is “we aspire to perfect harmony”. Consequently, careful, environmentally-friendly viticulture, hand harvesting and optimum grape maturity are their parameters. The estate has been considered one of the stars in the wine firmament in the Nahe region for many years and this was proven recently by gaining the top award in the important Rheinland-Pfalz wine competition. This Riesling has been succulent, fresh fruit flavors, suggesting juicy peaches, ripe apricots and crisp apples as well as a touch of zesty citrus. On the palate the firm acidity is balanced by the wine’s full body, resulting in a crisp and juicy finish.

2005 Carneros Chardonnay, Artesa, USA
Carneros is north of San Francisco, situated between the Napa and Sonoma Valleys. There are two reasons why chardonnay vines flourish in this wine region : the cool Pacific climate and the limestone outcrops in the soil. The cool climate is responsible for the fine fruitiness found in this chardonnay, with its suggestions of ripe pears, juicy apples and a subtle hint of lemongrass. Maturation in wooden casks gives the wine elegant, toasty notes and a touch of vanilla, whilst the influence of the soil comes through in the nutty taste on the tongue and the elegant acidity which stimulates the appetite.

2006 Sulz, Sauvignon Blanc, Weingut Gross, Österreich
A steep site at an altitude of 450 m, soils rich in loam and limestone, careful hand harvesting and gentle maturation in large oak casks are the ingredients for a top wine. Alois Gross coaxes hidden nuances out of his sauvignon blanc from this first-class vineyard. The result culminates in these typical varietal aromas of fresh grapefruit, ripe gooseberry and juicy peach with a fine streak of minerality. On the palate this impression of refreshing and extremely juicy fruit continues with a lively acidity and long aromatic finish.

Red Wine

2001 Château Belgrave, Cru Classé, Haut-Médoc, Frankreich
Château Belgrave is only separated from its famous neighbour in Saint-Julien by a stream. This notwithstanding, even the name Belgrave reveals that the soil is top quality as it means “beautiful gravel”. From the time of its inclusion in the 1855 Médoc classification, the estate experienced a rather eventful history until 1979, when Jean-Marie Chadronnier recognised the estate’s potential and his wine company took up a lease on the domaine. Today the Château proves its worth with its cabernet sauvignon dominated style showing a bouquet of spicy blackberry and blackcurrant aromas and an expertly combined palate balancing fine tannins and flavourful weight of fruit. This is a modern classic par excellence.

2003 “Senda del Oro”, Ribera del Duero DO, Vizcarra, Spanien
Revolution also happens in traditional producing regions. The grower, Juan Carlos Vizcarra, had the idea of fermenting red wine must with its skins in barrique. As this had always been a disaster in the past because of the very small bung holes, he developed small wooden casks with a removable lid. This Rivera del Duero demonstrates very convincingly that he knows how to handle his tinto fino grapes. The wine has an intense garnet color and a bouquet reminiscent of figs, dark berry fruits and gentle spices. In the mouth the wine is full-bodied with fine, elegant tannins.

Dessert Wine

2005 Casablanca Valley Sauvignon Blanc Late Harvest, Morandé, Chile
Nature allows noble sweet wines to be produced only occasionally, when damp and warmth create the perfect conditions for the growth of the noble rot, Botrytis Cinerea. After harvesting, the grapes undergo a very laborious wine-making process to create this golden yellow nectar, with its bouquet of candied fruits and papaya, honey and white blossom. These aromas continue in the mouth and bring out the unique character of a wine with opulent sweetness and a seductive finale.

Monthly Proposal

Vieille Prune, Distillerie Studer, Schweiz
Switzerland is famous for its ingenious pleasures and indeed, the art of distilling has long been a tradition in the Swiss mountain valleys. However, this knowledge was not enough for Hans Studer. He went abroad and tried his luck in the French countryside of Aquitaine. He was instructed in the art of distilling by masters of the craft in Bordeaux and Cognac. Hans Studer no doubt could never have imagined back then that one of these fine brandies, the Vieille Prune, would even be served above the clouds in First Class. The Vieille Prune is distilled from selected, fully ripe plums and is then allowed to mature in peace for a long time. This brandy has a distinctive plum character and gentle spicy notes and is a special treat as well as being an ambassador of Swiss drinking culture for the whole world.

Champagne

Laurent Perrier 1997 Champagne
Laurent Perrier 1997 exhibits remarkable balance between fruitiness and earthiness : nutty, rich, and juicy, with toast, cherry and lemon flavors at the end.

Nicolas Feuillatte 2002 Champagne
Feuillate’s ability to create wines of power and grace is on full display in a big vintage such as 2002. But while there is richness to the wine, it’s a perfect illustration of Champagne’s ability to remain youthful for years.

White Wine

Marie Antoinette Vincent Pouilly Fuissé 2003 (Chardonnay)
Perhaps the greatest producer in Pouilly Fuissé offers this round and crisp version of Chardonnay, earthy and refreshing.

Fèvre Vaillons 2005 Chabils (Chardonnay)
Chardonnays from Burgundy can taste very unlike Californian Chardonnay : where California goes for the richness of buttered toast, Chablis is poised, earthy and tart with orange and green apple aromas.

Markham Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc 2006 Napa Valley
Markham owns a great track record with both Sauvignon Blanc and Merlot. Their Sauvignon shows melon, grapefruit, orange and red apple in a tangy finish.

Red Wine

Jean-Luc Colombo Crozes Hermitage 2004 La Tuilerie (Syrah)
Syrah is what some people call Shiraz, but when you call it Shiraz rarely does it taste this smoky, rich, cherry laden and long. Actually, even if you call it Syrah, it rarely tastes this good.

Jaboulet Gigondas 2005 Pierre Aiguille (Grenache Blend)
Gigondas has achieved some stunning successes in the 2005, more so than the heralded 2003’s, and Jaboulet’s 2005 is lush and long.

St Halletts “Faith” Shiraz 2005 Barossa Valley
Shiraz is quintessentially Australian wine : fruity, jammy, easy-going, even rustic but strong. The warm Barossa Valley provides the black fruits and the Eden Valley, with its fascinating slate soils, adds a spicier, earthier note and some red fruits.

Louis Martini Cabernet Sauvignon 2003 Sonoma
The Martini family has produced some of the greatest California wines of the twentieth century and this Cab has juicy cherry flavors with great length.

White Wine

Château De Tracy “Mademoiselle De T” 2005 Pouilly Fumé (Sauvignon Blanc)
2005 is one of the best vintages yet for Sauvignon Blanc in northern France. The wines are wonderfully fruity, bone dry, and rich without heaviness.

William Fèvre Chabils 2005 Champs Royaux (Chardonnay)
If you make Chardonnay without new barrels (as it traditional in Chablis), you end up with tart fruits and something a bit like mushrooms and minerals.

Estancia Pinnacles Chardonnay 2005 Monterey
Chardonnay prefers to cool off at night, and Monterey is an ideal region for it. It doesn’t lose any intensity, it simply gains complexity and drinkability.

Hawk Crest Chardonnay 2006 California
California’s forte is this rich and buttery style of Chardonnay, and Hawk Crest enjoys a tradition of excellent and stylish Chardonnay.

Red Wine

Taurus Roble 2004 Toro (Tempranillo)
The Toro region of Spain has become a hot property for Tempranillo, and the wines are big and powerful.

Capçanes Mas Donís 2005 Montsant (Tempranillo / Garnacha)
Spain is the hot new thing in the international marketplace, even though they’ve been making wine for a few thousand years. Their top red grapes, Tempranillo and Garnacha, are now offering lush, juicy New World-styled wines.

Aquinas Merlot 2004 Napa Valley
Aquinas Merlot from Napa Valley (owned by the Sebastiani family) carries the bright blue fruits, black tea and rich cherry finish that the best Merlots can offer.

Pedroncelli Bench Vineyards Merlot 2005 Dry Creek Valley
A layered and dense Cabernet, made in Dry Creek Valley, an area most famous for its Zinfandels, and perhaps the wild character of Zinfandel shows through, with black cherries, plums, spice and cloves.

Penfolds Bin 2 Shiraz-Mourvedre 2004 South Australia
Penfolds remains the most famous name in Australian wine and the Bin 2 Shiraz is a fruit-laden and joyous expression of the grape.

Warburn Barrel Matured Shiraz 2007 Barossa Valley
Warburn is an ideal example of the character of Australian Shiraz, with coconut, cassis and blackberry flavours. This has the voluptuous richness that typifies Australian wine.

Château De Tracy “Mademoiselle De T” 2005 Pouilly Fumé (Sauvignon Blanc)
2005 is one of the best vintages yet for Sauvignon Blanc in northern France. The wines are wonderfully fruity, bone dry, and rich without heaviness.

William Fèvre Chabils 2005 Champs Royaux (Chardonnay)
If you make Chardonnay without new barrels (as it traditional in Chablis), you end up with tart fruits and something a bit like mushrooms and minerals.

Estancia Pinnacles Chardonnay 2005 Monterey
Chardonnay prefers to cool off at night, and Monterey is an ideal region for it. It doesn’t lose any intensity, it simply gains complexity and drinkability.

Hawk Crest Chardonnay 2006 California
California’s forte is this rich and buttery style of Chardonnay, and Hawk Crest enjoys a tradition of excellent and stylish Chardonnay.

Red Wine

Taurus Roble 2004 Toro (Tempranillo)
The Toro region of Spain has become a hot property for Tempranillo, and the wines are big and powerful.

Capçanes Mas Donís 2005 Montsant (Tempranillo / Garnacha)
Spain is the hot new thing in the international marketplace, even though they’ve been making wine for a few thousand years. Their top red grapes, Tempranillo and Garnacha, are now offering lush, juicy New World-styled wines.

Aquinas Merlot 2004 Napa Valley
Aquinas Merlot from Napa Valley (owned by the Sebastiani family) carries the bright blue fruits, black tea and rich cherry finish that the best Merlots can offer.

Pedroncelli Bench Vineyards Merlot 2005 Dry Creek Valley
A layered and dense Cabernet, made in Dry Creek Valley, an area most famous for its Zinfandels, and perhaps the wild character of Zinfandel shows through, with black cherries, plums, spice and cloves.

Penfolds Bin 2 Shiraz-Mourvedre 2004 South Australia
Penfolds remains the most famous name in Australian wine and the Bin 2 Shiraz is a fruit-laden and joyous expression of the grape.

Warburn Barrel Matured Shiraz 2007 Barossa Valley
Warburn is an ideal example of the character of Australian Shiraz, with coconut, cassis and blackberry flavours. This has the voluptuous richness that typifies Australian wine.

Wine and Beverage

Champagne

Champagne Piper Heidsieck
In France where they appreciate aperitif very much before their meals, a coupe de champagne (a glass of champagne) is considered to be the most elegant drink. Piper Heidsieck is fruity champagne which offers light and yet gorgeous atmosphere suitable for aperitif. It will lead you to the entertainment over the table in the air.

White Wine

Abbaye des Fontenay 2004 Les Truites Macon Villages
What has been the talk of Bourgogne of late from the northern Chablis to the southern Macon is a radical improvement in the quality of the Macon wines. This wine, showing a wonderful harmony of fruits, cloak of acidity accompanied by a dainty mineral taste, is a descendant of cuvee of the abbey established by a Cistercian monk named Sait Bernard of in 1118. Refreshing bouquet of such citrus as grape fruits and spicy after-taste manifest the modern style of wine making.

Ironstone Vineyards : Sauvignon Blanc 2005 California
The Kautz family started the winery in 1990 after growing grapes in California’s Sierra Nevada since 1948 where the temperature difference between the daytime and night is considerable. This excellent fruity wine when first released in 1992 immediately earned a high praise among the critics. One may start a meal with this peerless, delicately weak acidic wine enriched by herbal and citrus fragrance.

Red Wine

Chateau Lezongars 2003 Premiere Cotes de Bordeaux
This 45 hectare winery, started by Philip and Sarah Iles in 1998 – who once owned a wine bar in London – lies on the right bank of the Garonne River in Villenave de Rions. The pleasantly round wine made of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes is considered to be representative of the modern Bordeaux style with its lavish fruitiness and silky tannins.

Tin Roof : Syrah – Cabernet 2005 California
The Alexander Valley in the northern Sonoma County of California is known for its cool climate. Tim Murphy and Dale Goode are known as pioneers of making a Syrah wine in addition to the traditional ones in the valley. The wine of intensely fruity and spicy Syrah (60%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (40%) has a powerful and yet smooth finish thanks to a concentrated flavour of fruits and well-balanced structure.

Robert Grillou, Gigondas 2005
The Rhone River flowing from Switzerland through the middle of southern France to the Mediterranean was the main trade route to Northern Europe during the Roman era, and viticulture has continued since then. The Gigondas district on the east bank in the southern reaches of the Rhone was elevated to Appelation d’Origine Controlee status in 1971. A harmonious blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre grapes that are indigenous to southern France demonstrates the wine maker’s sensitivity with its soft, perfumed full-body and fruitiness.

Please note that these wines are subject to change.
