WINE WEDNESDAY

Our featured wine this week is the Dry Furmint 2022 from Patricius.

Our deep respect for the wine region’s traditions is an important part of our winery’s philosophy. We know that our predecessors achieved great things and we also recognise that these traditions need to be revived and passed on. We live in harmony with traditional values, drawing from them, continuing the work that our ancestors started – and striving to do all this appropriately for the people of today and their challenges. Tradition, values, uniqueness, balance – these express our mission. History, the knowledge and life experience of local people, and the region’s unique character, all what we draw inspiration from. The pursuit of harmony and equilibrium that is typical of the cycle of nature guides and defines our work both in the vineyard and the cellar.

WINE WEDNESDAY

Our featured wine this week is the "R" de Rieussec 2021 from Château Rieussec.

Rieussec is one of the most important vineyards of this appellation. It extends over 85 hectares at the junction of Fargues and Sauternes, adjacent to Château d’Yquem. Its sandy gravel (80%) and clay (20%) soils have been coveted by many owners since its creation.

The emblematic grape variety of the Rieussec terroir is Sémillon, planted on the majority of the vineyard. The other varieties grown are Sauvignon Blanc (17%) and Muscadelle (3%).

The techniques used in the vineyard are traditional to the Sauternes region. Harvesting takes place from September to November, over a period of 6 to 8 weeks, with several successive selections depending on the state of ripeness of the grapes and the development of botrytis cinerea (noble rot).

Production – at the whim of Mother Nature – is often low. It is said here that one vine produces one glass of wine.

In addition, 100% of the Rieussec vineyard is grassed over. An exception in the Sauternes region.

WINE WEDNESDAY In keeping with the Valentines theme, our featured wine this week is the Louis Roederer Brut rosé vintage 2017. The Louis Roederer estate cultivates the 3 traditional grape varieties: Chardonnay is appreciated for its minerality, finesse, and elegance; Pinot noir’s solid constitution adds structure to the blends and prepares them for ageing; Pinot Meunier is a slightly less refined sweet grape variety, whose adaptability brings harmony and softness to certain cuvées. The grapes in our plots are meticulously gathered by hand and are collected in the buckets and pressed on the site of the harvest. The pressing process is a delicate one, because the berry must not alter the colour of the juice, which must maintain its golden hue and clarity.

Wishing all our customers, suppliers and friends a happy, healthy and prosperous 2025!

WINE WEDNESDAY This week, in sticking with the theme of love, we are featuring the Champagne Louis Roederer Brut rosé vintage 2016. The Louis Roederer champagne house has been creating wines for over two centuries. The crafting of a fine champagne requires a slow rhythm, patience and restraint. Time is the ultimate luxury. The time to reflect, to mature and to question. The time to patiently blend components, the time to go back and start again, to choose a better path, the time to share experience and work together towards the creation of outstanding champagnes from unique terroirs, worked with respect, passion and humility.
