]]> Riesling Vendanges Tardives Martin Zahn 2015,  Cave de Ribeauvillé.

Riesling Vendanges Tardives come from the so-called noble grape varieties.

A very rich sweet wine, Vendanges Tardives are scarce. They are the fruit of exceptional harvest years. They harvest the grapes when over-ripe, with the development of noble rot. (Botrytis Cinerea).

Grape Variety: 100 % Riesling (sweet).

The development of Botrytis cinerea (noble rot) on the berries triggers an evaporation process which favours the concentration of sugar and aromas, giving these wines mellowness and strength.

The grapes are harvested exclusively by hand.

Tasting Notes: First, this Riesling Vendanges Tardives Robe has a pronounced golden colour. then, an opulent wine, with notes of candied citrus fruit.  Overall, in the mouth, it is rich and concentrated, with a well-balanced, long finish.

Food Pairing: First, Enjoy this Riesling Vendanges Tardives as an aperitif or as an accompaniment to mignardises. A great friend with fruit tart such as lemon tart, strawberry tart.

Cave de Ribeauvillé is one of the 5 wineries in France to obtain the certification. HEV in France in early 2020.

What is HEV?

High Environmental Value corresponds to the highest level for a environmental certification for farms.
The farm environmental certification is a voluntary approach. It aims to identify and promote environmentally-friendly practices applied by farmers.
HEV covers four key areas:  First, biodiversity conservation then plant protection strategy, management of fertiliser use but also management of water.

First, Cave de Ribeauvillé covers a single vineyard of 235 hectares with 8 Grands Crus and numerous terroirs of great value.

Then a quality charter manages the entire estate. It guarantees manual harvesting, strict control of yields, work in the vineyard using reasoned control or organic farming.

All the grapes are brought to the press in whole bunches.  The juice then flows by simple gravity into the vats. Thanks to state-of-the-art equipment, the wines of the Cave de Ribeauvillé respect the purity of the grape variety and the identity of each terroir. The wines are frank, straight, fresh, fruity and express all the richness of the great Alsatian terroirs.

]]> Les Jeunes Pousses de Raymond Lafon, Sauternes, 2019

Château Raymond Lafon is a sweet natural white wine produced under the AOC Sauternes appellation. The estate extends over 18 hectares, 16 hectares are in production. Château Raymond Lafon benefits from a remarkable exposure/ The chateau lays on the most beautiful terroirs of Sauternes.  The famous Château d’Yquem, known worldwide is actually its neighbor.

We definitely recommend to enjoy Les Jeunes Pousses with our slow cooked Duck Foie gras South West of France IGP.

Tasting notes:  A syrupy but very well balanced  by the high acidity that you will find in the Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle. Then, you will also enjoy candied fruits, honey flavors.

Last but not least, serve the wine at a temperature of 8°C. It will pair perfectly with the following dishes:  Chocolate Christmas log , foie gras, blue cheeses.

 

Sauternes 

Sauternes appellation lays on the left bank of the Garonne. In this region, you can surely enjoy the perfect climate to produce a sweet white wine of exceptional quality.

Indeed, in the morning mist that rises every summer morning to attack the vineyards to dissipate in the afternoon heat allows the growth of botrytis cinerea, noble rot, on very ripe grapes: a fungus which, when controlled, allows the concentration of sugars, acids and aromas in the very heart of the grape berries, while providing their aromatic signature. Retaining a large part of the residual sugars, Sauternes wines are syrupy but very well balanced by the high acidity brought by the type of grape varieties used, Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle. Great wines for laying down, Sauternes can be kept for several decades in the cellar: the best vintages from the beginning of the last century still have a lot to tell us.

]]> Carré Blanc Semi sweet wine

Vin de France Blanc (Semi sweet wine)

Carré Blanc Semi sweet wine was born when Louise Chereau Joined the Domaine in 2014. She wanted to produce a wine that is out of the box. In order to be free from a wine making process.

The name of the wine refers to Louise’s Grand Mother’s name: Edmonde Carré.

Grape Variety:  100% Melon de Bourgogne

Terroir:  The wine is made from the very young vines from château de chasseloir planted on a schistous soil.

Wine Making Process: We decided to harvest this parcel later than other without the idea of have a too high concentration of sugar. Only few days more than usual Muscadet is enough to increase the residual sugar to 7 gram per liter.

Tasting Notes: 

The wine has a yellow color with some gold reflects. The nose reveals aromas of exotic fruits and citrus confit fruits. In mouth the wine is very well balanced with a hint of lemon and honey.

Food Pairing Suggestions: 

This is a perfect aperitif wine with charcuterie or cheese. It will also pair perfectly with spicy food because of its freshness.

 

About Chereau Carré Family

Almost 60 years ago, the adventure takes root in the fertile lands of Muscadet, when Bernard Chéreau marries Edmonde Carré. The House Chéreau-Carré was born. It is the beginning of a passionate 3 generation family story.

In the beginning, there was Bernard Chéreau Senior who will take the crazy gamble to buy the Château de Chasseloir estate where a few hundred-years old vines rub shoulders with horses, cattle and cereal fields, with the ambition to create a unique Muscadet, capable of competing with the greatest Grands Crus.

Then, there was Bernard Chéreau Junior, the son, who will give up his medical studies to join the estate, driven by the love of the Muscadet land and eager to make the Muscadet Sèvre et-Maine known, in France and beyond the borders.

Finally, there is Louise, whose strength of character pushes the House to constantly renew itself, exploring new grounds to seduce more and more amateurs of exceptional Muscadet.
