Couple of us at Sipstirs may have finished a bottle of Cristal at the tasting today. Oops. Did you know…
- It’s a family affair. Cristal remains in the Roederer family to this day. The estate is currently overseen by Frédéric Rouzaud, the seventh generation of the family. This makes Louis Roeder the largest independent and family-owned Champagne house in the world. -Quality over quantity. Cristal has an annual production of about 300,000 to 400,000 bottles per year. This is a pretty low number, considering other high end brands like Dom Pérignon produce around five million bottles every year. -It’s always vintage. Cristal is cellar-aged for six years, and then held for another eight months after its dégorgement (the process of removing sediment from the Champagne). The vines used to grow Cristal’s grapes are also old — they must be a minimum of 25 years of age, but some are as old as 60. The older a vine is, the less fruitful it is, which contributes to the rarity of Cristal. -Its gold wrapping isn’t just for show. Cristal’s gold wrapping has historic roots — in the 19th century, a system of color-coding was used to signify a Champagne’s quality. Unsurprisingly, gold was used to denote the highest prestige. But there’s a scientific reason for this wrapping, too. The shiny cellophane is actually anti-UV, which protects the clear-bottled wine from damaging sun rays that can quickly cook a wine.

🍷Taste of the weekend🥂June 7th-9th…3 wines…
Precision Wine Ten to Life Pinot Noir, 2020- As the name suggests, Precision Wine Co. presents a distinguished and diverse collection of wines made with meticulous attention to detail and a commitment to quality, every step of the winemaking process handled with “precision”. They are made to showcase the complexity of flavor, diversity of terroir, and distinct characteristics of California’s appellations and wine regions. “Warm, full-bodied and generous in flavor, this mouth-filling wine offers deep black plum, black cherry and blueberry flavors accented by light oak notes of cinnamon and nutmeg. Its moderate tannins are offset by the rich texture.” - Jim Gordon, Wine Enthusiast (92 pts)
-
Torre Rosazza Friulano, 2021- For the third year in a row, Friulano 2021 has been inserted in the “Gambero Rosso - Vini d’Italia 2022” guide, with an evaluation of 3 glasses. This wine has clear and defined aromas among which wild flowers, jasmine and pear emerge. Notes of incense and saffron. At taste it is compact and vibrant, pleasant and easy to drink. With a good structure and persistence, it reveals a marked mineral note that gives flavor to the finish. Excellent as an aperitif, it goes well with typical Friulian cold cuts and traditionally with eggs and asparagus. It accompanies fresh and fatty cheeses, savory risottos and fish dishes.
-
Château de Montfaucon Lirac Rosé, 2022- Just across the Rhöne river from the esteemed vineyards of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, this 88-acre estate is owned and operated by Rodolphe de Pins, a UC Davis graduate and former member of the winemaking staff at Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe. Montfaucon crafts their Côtes du Rhône to express the intense fruit characteristics of the appellation, blending to achieve harmony and balance. The Lirac Rose is an hommage to its neighbor Tavel, showing the same verve and richness that accompanies that hallowed rose producing region. “Some pear-drop notes alongside rose hip. A supple palate with good freshness, red fruits and attractive energy as well. Nicely textured with good body weight but still a nice lick of energy beneath.” -Jancis Robinson

Stock up now for a fiesta to remember. 🎉🍹 Fun Cinco Facts: Cinco de Mayo is a holiday that celebrates the Mexican army’s victory over the French Empire at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862.

It’s often marked with parades, parties, traditional Mexican food, music, and dance.

🐰Open Sunday 10-6🍷

Gaia Organic Rosé, the Greek goddess of the earth, has been the Bousquet family’s inspiration since founding our winery 1997 when we pioneered and cleared virgin land in the high reaches of Tupungato’s Gualtallary district. From the start, our Gaia wines have been crafted with a French winemaking sensibility and made from 100% organic fruit grown at a cool 1,200-m/4,000-ft altitude.
Intense sun exposure and huge shifts in day-to-night temperatures combine to create a perfect marriage of Old and New World characteristics. GAIA Rose is made from the finest Pinot Noir grapes of our own vineyards. Those hand-harvested grapes offer a natural acidity, with vibrantly fresh red berry fruit.
