Champagne
“Allegra”, Champagne Jacquart, Frankreich
600 growers owning 800 hectares of their own vineyards in the Montagne de Reims, Cote de Blancs and Vallee de la Marne have joined together under the name Jacquart. This guarantees a broad selection of 130 Crus, of which 10 are classified as Grand Cru and 22 as Premier Cru, allowing the winemaker to compose authentic cuvees. It is no wonder that Jacquart Champagne was served at the award ceremony for the Noble Prize in Stockholm. The Jacquart success story is continued with Cuvee Allegra, which is made up of more than half pinot noir and white chardonnay grapes. This is Champagne which dazzles with its elegant fruit and fine mineral notes. It promises a pleasurable experience, not just as an aperitif but also when served with elegant shellfish, light fish dishes and caviar.

2005 "Astrales" Ribera del Duero, Bodegas Los Astrales, Spanien
The Duero, which traverses the Iberian Peninsula, is the wine river par excellence. In Portugal, it is known as the Duoro and is famous for great port wines, while in Spain numerous top wines are produced on its banks. The best come from the region Ribera del Duero, which is named after the river. The Romans were the first to recognise the potential of this wine region and later the church and nobility continued the wine-growing tradition. The conditions are ideal : the climate is dry with only about 450mm of rain in the course of a year. In return, there are 2350 hours of sunshine. The marked difference between day and night-time temperatures is most advantageous for the grapes as these fluctuations allow them to become more aromatic. Although the wine-producing region Ribera del Duero is one of the most famous in Spain, true discoveries are still possible here. One of these is the Romera de la Cruz family, in the third generation, who produce wines from well-known vineyard sites, one of which is Los Astrales. Along with Eduardo and Alberto Garica, the Romera de la Cruz family has set real standards. Astrales, made from tinto fino, is an intense purple red colour with violet reflexes and a black core. The bouquet is characterised by rich aromas of dark berry fruit, preserved figs and fine oak spiciness as well as touches of vanilla, chocolate and toasty notes. On the palate the wine is most pleasing with its superb fruit, subtle touch of oak and persistent finish.
Aperitif
Campari
A red mild bitters-type cordial.
Sherry Amontillado Hidalgo
Amber-coloured, off-dry sherry, elegant and mile, with an added, subtle residual sweetness that gently flatters the palate.
White Wine
2009 Jesuitengarten Riesling Grosses Gewachs, Weingut Bassermann-Jordan, Deutschland
The Basserman-Jordan family has always invested in the best vineyards, like the Jesuitengarten in Forst. Quality and sustainable viticulture are also important to the present-day owner, Achim Niederberger. This includes, for example, turning to organic methods of production : preventative pest management using natural preparations as well as more and more work by hand. This allows a rich biodiversity of flora and fauna to establish, which helps our efforts to produce natural, sustainable wines. This effort and care can be tasted in the glass, expressed as fine, mineral notes, juicy peach and apricot fruit aromas veering almost to the exotic, as well as a pleasing, fresh and yet full taste.
2007 Chateau de Rully, Rully Premier Cru, Antonin Rodet, Frankreich
The Cote Chalonnaise adjoins the Cote de Beaune to the south and the style of the wines produced here is very similar to that of its more famous neighbour in the north. The chalky soil mixed with clay provides ideal growing conditions and the more continental-influenced climate allows for a slow ripening period. Later, the classic maturation in pieces, the small Burgundian oak barrels, also contributes to the success of these complex wines. This gives a wine like the 2007 vintage which is showing an elegant maturity. It has aromas of ripe citrus fruit, juicy pears and a touch of toastiness as well as a juicy, creamy palate. This is a wine of intensity and great length.
2010 "Pierneef Collection" organically grown Sauvignon Blanc, La Motte, Sudafrika
Hanneli and Hein Koegelenberg have taken the former traditional wine estate La Motte in Franschhoek to new heights. With their wines they are deliberately going the way of individuality and quality. They have dedicated their best sauvignon blanc, produced according to the principles of organic wine production, to the famous South African artist, Pierneef. This is a aromatic wine with hints of grapefruit, citrus fruit and elegant, mineral notes. The tremendous freshness and minerality as well as the lively acidity on the palate point stylistically to a classic Sancerre, which makes this sauvignon blanc a real moreish pleasure.
Red Wine
2004 Chateau Dassault, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classe, Frankreich
The name Dassault stands for perfection, not only of aircraft, but also wine-making. Laurence Brun makes no compromises when running the wine estate she purchased in 1955 from the legendary aircraft producer Marcel Dassault. Thanks to labourious hand harvesting and strict selection of the merlot, cabernet franc and cabernet sauvignon grapes, she ensures that the quality of the terrior comes to the fore. Finally maturation in barrique rounds off the character of the wine, which shows intense berry fruit with hints of vanilla and toastiness, as well as elegant weight and a mineral character on the palate.
2006 Zweigelt Reserve, Thermenregion, Weingut Aumann, Osterreich
The Thermenregion, south of Vienna, is worth discovering as a true wine revolution is happening here. The days of simple wines suitable just for serving in the typical Austrian wine taverns are gone. Today wine producers are increasingly going for quality, and this includes the Aumann wine estate. This Zweigelt Reserve is the product of an outstanding vintage and was matured in new French oak barriques. It shows an intense spiciness, fine balsamic notes, aromas of vanilla and toast as well as rich, dark berry fruit. On the palate the silky tannins as well as excellent, aromatic length shows Austria's potential for quality.
Dessert Wine
2009 Oberrotweiler Kasleberg Kerner Auslese, WG Oberrotweil, Deutschland
The grape variety Kerner was created as a crossing between the red variety trollinger and the white variety riesling in 1929 in Wurttemberg and was named after the Swabian poet Justinus Kerner. Although often found in its homeland of Wurttemberg, it is an unusual variety to find in the Kaiserstuhl in Baden. This is rather astonishing when you taste the quality of this Auslese dessert wine which is most flattering with its elegant aromas of orange, candied fruit and orange blossom.
Monthly Proposal
Schwabischer Whisky aus Bio-Alb-Dinkel, Bosch Edelbrand, Deutschland
Whether in Bavaria, Franconia or Wurttemberg, whisky is one of German distillers' new discoveries. Often produced from regional types of grain, the whiskies have their own unique character. The panoply of aromas stretches from mild to malty and there is also a huge array of appealing flavours. The Bosch distillery in the Lenning valley produces its whisky from organic spelt, which is grown on the Swabian Alps. For the Boschs it is taken for granted that they use only the best raw materials. The character of the landscape reveals itself in the finished product which shimmers amber in the glass and which shows an elegant, subtle malty bouquet, as well as delicate sweetness and restrained smoky notes on the palate.
