Permalink, by Champagne J.Vignier, aucun commentaire

The family has been cultivating vines in Cramant for six generations. Today, the estate covers 16.5 hectares of vineyards in Cramant, Oiry and Chouilly, as well as in the Sézannais (Saudoy), all planted between 1950 and 2010. The estate produces two different brands. The brand named after the grandfather Paul Lebrun includes the traditional champagne of the family. In addition, there is the new brand J. Vignier, producing single vineyard champagne. One of them comes from a vineyard in the (...) — Lire la suite.
LE CÈDRE EXTRA LIBRE #CAHORS 2015 - THE SPLENDIDNESS OF NATURE

Permalink, by Château du Cèdre, aucun commentaire

Although the terroir has found a way in the Cuvee Le Cèdre to express itself with elegance and finesse for many years, the wine seems to discover unprecedented liberties applying sulfur-free vinification and maturation. A proud and clear bouquet, with a fruit as fresh as if it had just been harvested. You’ll also find some floral fragrances and delicate spices, the latter coming from long ageing in large wooden tanks. Crisp freshness and a quasi-crystalline acidity, along with silky tannins (...) — Lire la suite.
A good glass of... #Champagne Paul Lebrun Extra Brut Blanc de blancs

Permalink, by Sebastian Nickel, aucun commentaire

This champagne Blanc de blancs with low dosage (4g / L), shows very fine bubbles rising quickly in the glass. It shows a clear and fresh bouquet of lemons, limes and a hint of cumquat, joined by white peaches after a few minutes in the glass. Clear acidity on the palate, with tingling, well-integrated bubbles and surprising aromas of spices and dried flowers and a long, mineral, slightly salty finish. A champagne with a lot of crunchiness that leaves a pleasant, juicy aftertaste.

“La vie en rosé...” With Pierre Cros

Permalink, by Sebastian Nickel, aucun commentaire

Rosé wine now is considered a full-fledged wine, embellishing fresh salads, fish, cheese, exotic dishes, as well as hilarious moments amongst friends all around the year. However, some “typical” rosé wines can still be described as exemplary summer wines, which only intensify our desire for sunshine, swimmingpools and farniente.
The Cuvée “Tradition” by Pierre Cros is one of them. With ease, it seduces with a very bright and shining color and a scent of red fruits, candies, peaches and a touch of (...) — Lire la suite.
Christophe’s favourites from “La Boutique Santa Duc” in Châteauneuf-du-Pape @SantaDuc

For the summer, I spontaneously think about three wines.
Les Grands Calcaires 2015: The quartet Clairette, Ugni blanc, Picpoul and Bourboulenc gives an incredible energy to the wine, while the Grenache blanc and Viognier bring in juiciness and a fine perfume. The wine makes me dream of a shaded terrace and grilled fish. Santa Duc Les Plans Rosé 2016: Bright, delicate colour, ripe, red fruits, a handful of citrus, fresh and gentle on the palate ... Perfect for an aperitif and summer cuisine. (...) — Lire la suite.
If you want veggie-hype in Zürich, go for the restaurant HILTL!

Permalink, by Sebastian Nickel, aucun commentaire

Lounge ambience and music, high ceilings and windows, activity as in an ant colony ... as well as a fresh, tasty and completely meatless kitchen. This awaits you during lunch time at the HILTL in Zurich, a culinary institution for over a hundred years.
It is the oldest vegetarian restaurant in Europe, founded in 1898 as a “Vegetarian Home and Abstinence Café”. A not really inviting name ... Perhaps for this reason but mainly because of the bad image of the vegetarians in the 19^th century and (...) — Lire la suite.
A good glass of… Château du Cèdre #Cahors 2013

Permalink, by Sebastian Nickel, aucun commentaire

In many French wine-growing regions grape harvest was rather small in 2013. For this reason, the vintage remained almost unnoticed by the press. This is a pity, because it contains some jewels, which can be enjoyed already, or can still be stored for a few years in the cellar. I therefore recently opened a bottle from this vintage of the first cuvée of the Verhaeghe brothers from Cahors. Made from 90% Malbec and 10% Merlot and Tannat, the wine has been considered as a great classic from (...) — Lire la suite.
Nathalie Vignier - “At the beginning of our project to create terroir champagne, we have made some decisions...” #Champagne J.Vignier

We believe in sustainable agriculture. Only grapes from our own vineyards are used to make the wines. They come from selected vineyards with an unique terroir. Through low yields and meticoulous quality control, we aim to produce tasty and healthy grapes. We have decided to ferment in steel tanks which preserves the purity and character of the fruit. Thanks to their naturally strong freshness and minerality, all wines do malolactic fermentation. This increases their aromatic diversity. (...) — Lire la suite.
