Guigal is synonymous with the Côte-Rôtie area, for bringing this great wine region to prominence, and for owning three times as much land as next largest land-owner, vinifiying 1/3 of the total appellation, and unquestionably holding the finest sites in this tiny, special area. The incredible Syrah from Côte Rôtie, co-fermented with a touch of Viognier, has tremendously balanced concentration, depth and finesse.

Côte-Rôtie is situated in the northernmost region of the Rhône Valley. The Syrah (96%) vine is planted on steep terraced hillsides that catch and focus the sun’s heat, giving the region its reputation and name: "roasted slope." A small percentage of Viognier (4%) is interplanted with the Syrah, and the two are harvested and fermented together, giving the wine an exotic perfume, elegance and lift.

The Côte-Rôtie Brune et Blonde de Guigal refers to the fact that grapes from the two areas of Côte-Rôtie are used, from the Côte Brune and the Côte Blonde. The historical legend is that long ago a lord deeded the Côte Brune to his dark-haired daughter and the Côte Blonde to his blond daughter. The soils of the Côte Brune are indeed darker, containing more iron and some clay, and the paler Côte Blonde soils have more sand and limestone, and are the home of more Viognier plantings.

Guigal’s Côte-Rôtie Brune et Blonde is a wine of finesse and complexity that ages beautifully, developing aromas and flavors of black pepper, spice, licorice, and game. It is a truly great expression of Cote-Rotie.

Produced on sandy soils, which cover a small part of the appellation, Grenache expresses great softness and is very aromatic without being heavy. This wine is full bodied but with finesse at the same time.

Prior to 1968, making non-vintage rosé champagne was virtually unthinkable. It was in the midst of a cultural revolution that the visionary Bernard de Nonancourt gave it its credentials. This daring wine combines real structure with freshness and a soft, vinous character. In its elegant bottle inspired by the times of French King Henri IV, Cuvée Rosé Laurent-Perrier soon made a name for itself worldwide.

A fine bead and an elegant colour. Cuvée Rosé Laurent-Perrier’s colour evolves gently from a pretty raspberry tint to a hint of salmon. In this colour range, the brightest is a pink with subtle shades of melon and raspberry. It owes it quaint name Cuisse de nymphe émue (hot pink, in English), to a rose bush. The bead is so fine that it seems to dance in the glass and then on the palate.

Subtle, forthright, and very fresh on the nose. Cuvée Rosé Laurent-Perrier suggests a basketful of small berry fruits: strawberries, raspberries, blackcurrants, blackberries, redcurrants, and morello and black cherries. The overwhelming sensation is one of freshness.

Fruit dominates the palate. Cuvée Rosé Laurent-Perrier is a lively, well-rounded wine which combines structure and freshness. The forthright, slightly sharp attack is like breathing the heady aromas of a freshly-picked basket of berry fruits – a symphony of aromas with a gently-rounded, tender finish.

With its composition marked by a high percentage of Chardonnay, Laurent-Perrier Brut is the signature House style, offering freshness, lightness and elegance, consistently showcasing the essential qualities sought by Laurent-Perrier.

50% Chardonnay (a particularly high proportion), 35% Pinot Noir, 15% Pinot Meunier. Over 55 crus, rated an average 94% are used to make it. Up to 20% of set-aside wine is also sometimes included to guarantee the quality and regularity of the Laurent-Perrier style.

A fresh, delicate colour. Laurent-Perrier Brut is discretion itself with a pale gold colour that highlights its delicate, persistent bead. A delicate nose, and balanced freshness. Floral notes, like the reminiscence of a perfume floating in air, come together in a delicious harmony. This naturally elegant ‘aesthete’ reveals itself little by little, combining notes of citrus and stone fruit with an pure creaminess.

Mellowness, finesse and freshness combine to achieve a remarkable balance, in a succession of constantly shifting taste sensations and a long, satisfying finish.

Pale yellow with silver tinges, brilliant and crystal clear revealing a persistent ribbon of delicate bubbles. Initially restrained, fresh white fruit aromas of apple, pear and peach intermingle with curry and turmeric spices. As the bouquet becomes more expressive, ripe fruit notes jostle for position.

Clean on the attack, elegant and complex, a delicate bead imparts freshness on the finish.

Serving suggestions: As an aperitif, best served at 7 - 8°C.
With food, best served at 10 - 12°C.

Food and wine pairings :
Aperitif: Smoked salmon Crostini
Starter: Pan-fried king prawns with coriander
Main: Pigeon Tagine and quince, served with bulgar wheat
Dessert: Rhubarb Tarte Tatin

Brut Premier is the embodiment of Louis Roederer style, combining all the fruitiness and freshness of youth with the viscosity of a fully mature wine. Pale golden yellow in colour with a delicate persistent bead. Rich yet subtle bouquet of hawthorn, almonds and toast.

Serving Suggestion: Serve well chilled. Louis Roederer Brut Premier is a classic aperitif or celebratory Champagne. The fullness and structure make Brut Premier a superb accompaniment to many fine cuisine.

Intense ruby red with garnet highlights, its rich, complex nose opens up immediately. Initially dark cherry, plum and violets, clean, fine and elegant. It then opens up to wider, more complex notes of blueberry, vanilla, tobacco, cinnamon, chocolate and leather with a menthol finish. In the mouth the elegance of a full, crisp body comes through immediately without warmer notes. Its cherry, plum and blueberry nuances are very long lasting.

It goes ideally well with game, roasts and grilled meat or medium mature cheeses.
Serve at 18°C but no more.

Lamaione 2010 is a black-red with deep red highlights. On the nose, sweet berry fruits such as cherry and ripe blueberry, followed by chocolate, coffee, mint and licorice . Hints of almond, both fresh and toasted, are complemented by subtle flavours of tobacco. The palate is decisive, with dense and intense tannins. In spite of the bold body, Lamaione closes with a fresh finish and hints of mint.

Producer: Frescobaldi
Region: Tuscany

A deep ruby and almost opaque in its concentration, the nose is ultra-complex, delivering inebriating draughts of wild blackberry, raspberry, redcurrant, dried plum and dates, delicately lifted by floral impressions of sweet rose and violets. Gradually emerging to deepen the rich bouquet even further are spicier nuances of vanilla, cocoa powder, tobacco leaf, and roasted espresso beans, which act as a delicious foil to pungent notes of balsam and herbs. A crisp, nervy acidity complements a suite of silky tannins, and both contribute to a palate that is notable for its warmth and roundness. A finely-balanced, leisurely progression culminates in a lengthy, subtly-aromatic finish.

Ripe al Convento 2007 is an intense ruby-red with barely perceptible highlights that are almost garnet in tonality. The nose is characterised by notes of blackberry that quickly leave in their place intense and pleasant sensations of ground hazelnuts, rhubarb, and Cuban cigar; then spicy notes emerge of black pepper, cardamom and walnut, followed by fresh notes of thyme, tea leaves and juniper. Hints of underbrush and iodine. Entry on the palate is imperious, characterised by a dense and elegant structure well supported by generous, full body. The finish is markedly long and balanced.

This Spätburgunder or Pinot Noir was picked in early October, then selected and crushed before fermentation on the skin for ten days. After fermentation it was matured for ten month in traditional German oak cask of 2.400l - the so called Doppel-Stückfass.

The wine shows itself with a ruby red medium rich colour. It offers a fruity appearance. Notes of red berries as raspberry and blueberry are combined with notes of spices, vanilla and the typical Pinot Noir hint of bitter-almond.

On the palate its first impression is a soft and smooth start. The fruit of the red berries is mouth filling - again raspberry, now blackberry and a hint of spice. Mellow and still fresh. The bitter-almond note keeps it delicate. A decent acidity gives the wine a good structure and makes it a good match with food. An elegant Pinot Noir with a decent body and good length.

The site of the “HOHENMORGEN” is situated at the western brim of the town of Deidesheim. The HOHENMORGEN is a south facing slope of only 2,76 ha and by this the smallest and most exclusive vineyard of Deidesheim. The soil is a pure eroded sandstone soil.

The “HOHENMORGEN is again a very rich almost creamy Riesling with power and a huge ageing potential. Aromas of ripe peach and apricot, even herbal notes combined with the mineralic spice give a lot of character to the wine. Enjoy the “HOHENMORGEN” now as young and powerful Riesling or within the next decade when the richness and the ”Terroir”- character increases.

The Leinhöhle is situated on the western brim of the village of Deidesheim in the center of the Palatinate wine-growing region. The Leinhöhle is south east facing situated on a slope above the village of Deidesheim. The vineyard is protected by the Haardt-mountains against strong west-winds and rain.

The vineyard was harvested by hand in several picks. The grapes have been pressed and temperature-controlled fermented in stainless-steel tanks. The wine shows a very juicy delicacy with a crisp acidity and a mouth-watering sweetness. Even quite high in residual sugar the wine stays crisp and easy-drinkable due to the vibrant acidity. Notes of ripe rich fruits like peach and hints of apples and yellow plums keep this wine entertaining and suitable for the usage as an aperitif.

A very good match the wine offers when drunk with spicy cheese or with hot food as in the Indochinese-cuisine.
Drink it now to 2025.

Chardonnay made its first appearance on the hills of the Langhe during the late 1800’s, but most growers only began to take it into consideration about a hundred years later. This is when, in 1985, Piazzo too decided to plant some vines of this variety in San Rocco d’Elvio.

Their blending produces elegant wines which are perfectly at home on an elegant table in large crystal glasses, accompanying cheerful conversation among friends.

This pure Chardonnay has qualities of great value: a straw-yellow colour with greenish highlights; a full nose bursting with clear sensations of limoncello, mint, green apples and raspberries; and a lingering, dry taste, full of personality.

2006 - Luce Brunello appears ruby red with garnet highlights. Fragrances of wild berry fruit, such as blueberry and red currant, predominate on the nose; crisp notes of citrus follow, succeeded in turn by spicier impressions of forest underbrush, tobacco leaf, pencil lead, and black pepper, all lifted by intriguing nuances of star anise and China Calassaja bark. It develops full-bodied and warm in the mouth, with a forceful suite of tannins. This is a wine of incredible concentration and near-endless progression and finish.

Mighty appearance, a lot of vanilla on the nose, some green aromas, the palate is still a little wood driven, but although this is a very young wine beginning to integrate, vanilla, some subtle roasty and spicy tones, some fresh grass, gooseberry, certain freshness, creamy texture, well structured, mid - to full bodied, long finish, a fine seafood companion.

Praise from the Press [94] Wine Enthusiast — Top 100 Wines of 2015 (#52)
“Sprightly sweet Riesling fills the glass with an opulent floral perfume of rose petals and orange blossoms. It’s profoundly aromatic, yet remarkably elegant, balanced by layers of crisp honeydew and peach flavors. A zesty strike of acidity freshens the finish.” (2013 vintage)

TASTING NOTES:
This vibrant, stylish Riesling shows best in its youth – up to five years post-vintage. Low alcohol levels lend it the nuanced elegance and complexity necessary to perfectly complement a wide range of dishes.

VINEYARD NOTES:
Grapes for our Gutsriesling are harvested from the areas bordering our top classified sites on the Kiedrich Gräfenberg; the medium to deep soil is composed of stony, fragmented phyllite interlaced with loess and loam; and the steep, southwest facing vineyards include inclines of up to 60 %.

The 2012 Tignanello is an intense ruby red in color with purple highlights. The wine is ripe on the nose with notes of dark fruit and with much underlying freshness on the aromatic finish; plum fruit dominates the aromatic gamut along with cherries, and the aromas evolve with vigor and balance towards sensations of mint and liquorice.

On the palate, though still young, the wine is ready and inviting, rich and harmonious; excellent the balance of the flavours thanks to the tonic acidity and the solidity and suppleness of the tannins. The finish and after-taste are rich and savoury and are characterized by a sweet persistence and length.

A dark and sublime robe of red. The first nose turns to the fruit (blackcurrant, currant). The wedding of the oak, toasted and vanilla aromas, gets married pleasantly with notes of fruits in the alcohol and roasted aromas. The attack is frank. The mouth is fat and reminds us of the aromas of matured Cabernet Sauvignon. Tannins are silky. Final is soft and reminds us of the notes of toasted roast.

Producer: Antinori
Region: Tuscany

The Villa Antinori is an excellent and affordable Tuscan made from a blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah grapes. This blend shows the power and structure of Cabernet Sauvignon, the sweet, juicy fruity flavours of Merlot and Syrah, and the rustic, sour-cherry tang of Sangiovese. The wine is intense ruby red in colour, is full-bodied with a palate of dark fruit and spice. The tannins are round and velvety and lead to a lingering finish.

It is made from Sangiovese and Colorino grapes that ripen slowly due to the quite high location of the vineyards; 30% of the maturation occurs in barrels for 8 months and the remaining in steel. To the eye, the wine has a ruby red color and the smell is typical of an elegant wine, fine and fresh with notes and aromas of red fruit, typical of the excellent preservation of the fruit. The palate is well balanced with acidity and tannins, which is evidence of its freshness.
