Wine and Beverage

White Champagne

Billecart-Salmon, Brut, France
Billecart-Salmon is one of the most stylish boutique Champagne houses. Since being founded in 1818, it has remained one of the best kept secrets in wine.
Production is small. Francois Billecart prefers it that way. It allows him total control of a family business that has won the adoration of serious Champagne lovers.
The gorgeous winery and underground cellars are hidden in a small village surrounded by vines. Billecart uses some old techniques such as basket presses to gently extract the finest juice. Modern technology is used to create extra cold temperatures during fermentation, which extend the process, and adds freshness, elegance and delicacy to the wines.
There is an extra-long ageing period in the dark underground cellars, allowing the complex flavours to unfold.
Billecart-Salmon is pure luxury. We hope you will enjoy it.
Food & wine pairing. The perfect way to start your journey in style. It is also the classic aperitif and well suited to smoked salmon and other light seafood.

Rose Champagne

Piper Heidsieck, Rose Sauvage, France
Founded as Heidsieck and Co. by Florens-Louis Heidsieck in Reims two days after the Bastille Day in 1785, the brand itself came about in 1838 after the marriage of Madame Heidsieck and Henri-Guillaume Piper. The brand has been perceived as an element of prestige and glamour.
A blended rose added to the great Piper Heidsieck Cuvee Brut classic blend is a generous champagne. A great, not so classic, structured, full-bodied Champagne, with more than just a hint of red fruits and elaborated with a majority of Pinots Noirs, wines from over 100 crus, Meuniers from the Grande and Petite Montagne de Reims.
The nose is rich and expressive with red fruit nose - blackcurrant, blackberry, cherry and Gariguette strawberry freshened with citrus, mandarin and blood orange. A finish lifted with paprika and saffron. The palate is brisk, original and juicy wine which simultaneously offers black cherry, blackberry, pink grapefruit and blood orange notes. This structure and fruitiness is enriched with warm, spicy notes of Espelette pepper, tea and liquorice.
A flamboyant, scarlet red robe - a recognizable signature. Delicate and lively effervescence.
Food & wine pairing. The ultimate aperitif, and the perfect wine to pair with light seafood dishes.

Chardonnay

J. Moreau & Fils, Chablis Premier Cru 2015, Chablis, France
The most recent list of Premiers Cru was issued in 1986. 79 hamlets figure on the list and cover a surface area of approximately 700 ha. The winegrowers of Chablis grouped together these hamlets under the names of 17 "climats" or single vineyards. These vineyards are located on either side of the Serein river in the communes of Chablis, Fontenay, Maligny, Chichee, La Chapelle-Vaupelpeigne, Courgis, Fleys, and Beines.
The vintage started in the aftermath of an uneven winter, rather mild at the beginning. This climatic conditions sourced a very comfortable health status for the vines and a quick maturing. Unfortunately, a violent hail storm took place in the Chablis area on the night of September the 1st constraining the vine growers to harvest the damaged plots. However, the heat of the last weeks of September allowed the vine growers to obtain highly qualitative musts. the last grapes were pressed on September 21st and the entire crop was particularly balanced and promising.
The visual is pale gold and crystal-clear. Nose is an exuberant bouquet of apricots emphasized by mineral and menthol notes. In the palate it tastes fresh and fruity in the mouth, with grapefruit flavors. A long finish and complexity typical of 1er Cru wines.
Food & wine pairing. This wine is perfect with seafood and poultry dishes.

Sauvignon Blanc

Huntaway, Reserve 2014, Marlborough, New Zealand
Since its launch in 1996, Huntaway Reserve has been successful in gathering critical acclaim, awards and a fine reputation for quality. The wine makes go to great lengths to search for the best fruit for their wines, offering a range of elegant, approachable wines.
Sauvignon Blanc is Marlborough's signature varietal so it natural that this Huntaway wine comes from the world famous region. Marlborough is a true cool climate growing region, situated at the top of the South Island in New Zealand and consistently makes wines of remarkable quality and style.
This Sauvignon Blanc shows true Lower Wairau intensity with an abundance of blackcurrant, nashi pear and tomato leaf aromatics with underlying herbal nettle notes, creating layers of complex savoury notes on the nose. The wines power follows through to the palate displaying lovely fruit concentration balanced with chalky almost mineral acidity.
Food & wine pairing. Best enjoyed with pasta dishes and fresh seafood.

Assemblage Viognier & French Colombard

White Knight, Viognier Clarksburg 2014, California, USA
Swooping in to rescue the palate from ordinary wines, the sense of adventure of The White Knight is impossible to resist. Clad in shining armor, this charming knight provides a sensual escape from the mundane. Slip away to a secret meadow, take in a vibrant sunset, dance the night away with friends, or sip in the paradise of quiet candlelight.
Special occasions are waiting to happen every day, as they should. Solid and trustworthy, The White Knight is anything but a bore. Stimulating. Striking. Satisfying. The White Knight's engaging wines command attention in the glass, tantalizing the lips before the taste buds fall hard.
An early bud break coupled with a long warm growing season provided for an early harvest in the Clarksburg winegrowing region. Yields were slightly lower than the previous vintage which produced concentrated, flavorful grape clusters. The wine was fermented and aged in stainless steel, resulting in a light and crisp Viognier with heavy fruit up front. Blending in a small percentage of French Colombard and Muscat rounded out the blend nicely, adding a complex layer of grapefruit and supple flavors.
Food & wine pairing. This wine is perfect with roasted chicken, grilled seafood dishes or just to enjoy on its own.

Assemblage Cabernet & Merlot

Chateau Monbousquet, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classe 2012, Bordeaux, France
Chateau Monbousquet is one of the new star properties of the Right Bank in Bordeaux. When Gerard Perse purchased the property in 1993 he made huge investments in the cellar and the vineyards, and totally revolutionized the quality.
The blend of 60% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon is typical of many Saint-Emilion estates. But the low yields, precision vineyard management and superstar winemaker Michel Rolland's touch in the cellar have created a superb wine.
The nose shows notes of fresh berries, espresso, milk chocolate and plum. The palate is elegant, with medium to full body, soft light tannins, and beautiful depth of flavor. Monbousquet always shows vivacity, intensity, and a new classic Bordeaux style.
Food & wine pairing. The perfect match with beef, lamb and hard cheese.

Shiraz

Mount Langi Ghiran, The Hollows Shiraz 2013, Victoria, Australia
The Mount Lang Ghiran vineyard is truly unique, its "Old Block" vineyard producing one of Australia's most distinctive and distinguished wines, the Langi Shiraz. Our winemakers consider it a privilege to work with the amazing array of fruit delivered from the vines and are inspired to pour their talents into crafting wines that exceed expectations.
The raw elements of soil, climate and vine combine to create this unique vineyard. The weathered granite rockface and sedimentary soils, the cold prevailing winds forming off the Southern Ocean and the vinestock carried to this region by Swiss settlers in the 1800s, all these elements play a critical role in producing the distinctive flavours of Mount Langi Ghiran wines.
Colour is black with red and purple hues. With aromas of blueberry, black cherry and mulberry with lifted pepper and spice. It has a core of plush black and red fruits melding with hints of coco and black pepper. The palate is juicy and luscious, displaying a core of rich dark fruit with hints of chocolate and a range of lively spices. A soft and silky structure brings a savoury twist to the wine that truly reflects its cool climate origins.
Food & wine pairing. This can be enjoyed by itself but is ideal with steak and grilled meats.

Semillon

Valdivieso, Eclat Botrytis 2013, Curico Valley, Chile
Based in Lontue, the company has a wealth of vineyards and the quality of the terroir is shown by the single vineyard wines. The whole range encapsulates everything that Chile excels at: rich, vibrant flavours and smooth, glossy textures - and the wines deserve the multitude of gongs they have picked up in recent years.
The fruit was carefully selected, looking for bunches with natural noble rot botrytis. At the winery, the fruit went directly to the press. 50% of the juice went directly to barrel and the other 50% went to stainless steel tanks and underwent a careful fermentation. The wine was aged in barrels (50%) and tanks (50%) for a further 12 months.
Lovely honeyed grapefruit with some gentle candied lemon on the nose. Very intense on the palate with some good natural fruit sweetness and vibrant acidity. Well made and very enjoyable.
Food & wine pairing. This is a classic dessert wine. The perfect wine to enjoy with foie gras, blue cheese or as an accompaniment to desserts.

Port

Gran Cruz, Porto 1992, Douro Valley, Portugal
Colheita Ports are wines from a single harvest, chosen from the best that were produced in that year. A Colheita will be aged throughout its life in oak casks. The wine will evolve slowly in colour, aroma and flavour, as a result of the micro oxygenation that takes place through the wood. Although they may develop well in the bottle, they are usually bottled shortly before release to the market, with an indication of the year of bottling.
Wine of great aromatic complexity where wild honey and trace of dried fruits such as almonds and figs stands out and hints of spices. The colour is amber and tawny with brownish hues and greenish tinges.
It has freshness and elegance ending slightly dry but with great persistence.
Food & wine pairing. The perfect wine to enjoy with a selection of cheese or by itself after a meal.
