Champagne Festive Night!

We are very delighted that our professional champagne tasting lightened up the festive mood for all winelovers and wine professionals attended!

And as a bonus, we all discovered our favourite bubbles among exquisite wines by Champagne House Gardet (Chigny-les-Roses, Premier Cru).

✅  Blanc de Blancs brut – 100% Chardonnay aged on the lees for 3-4 years, really delicate bubbles and freshness preserved.

✅  Blanc de Noirs brut premier cru – 60% Pinot Noir, 40% Meunier, aged on the lees for 2-3 years. Full bodied and elegant wine.

✅  Brut Reserve 1/3 Chardonnay, 1/3 Pinot Noir, 1/3 Meunier, aged on the lees for 4-6 years, 25% of reserved wines aged 1 year in oak, as a result complex, but not over-oaked champagne.

✅  Brut Rosé: 40% Pinot Noir, 40% Meunier, 10%Chardonnay, 10% red AOC Champagne, aged on the lees for 2-3 years. A classy rose champagne with a lot of freshness and fruits.

Absolute favourites of the evening were Rose and Blanc de Blancs, however experienced wine professionals appreciated Blanc de Noirs and Brut Reserve even more.

Happy Bubbly New Year 2018!

 

Bordeaux wines tasting

The motto of our Bordeaux wines tasting was: “affordable yet excellent reds”.

And we indeed have discovered some Merlot-based Right-bank appellations of a superb value: Côte de Bourg, Blaye and the satellite of St.Emilion – Puisseguin, comparing 2013, 2011 and 2008 Merlot-Cabernet Franc blends!🍷 🍇
No surprise, the 2008 Puisseguin-Saint Emilion proved this vintage to be an exceptional one in Bordeaux being the favourite of the night!

Burgundy wines tasting

Our Burgundy wines tasting in Barcelona gathered wine lovers from many countries!

All together we enjoyed the exclusive selection of some affordable Pinot Noir wines with an excellent value from Côtes de Nuits and Montagny Prémier Cru Chardonnay! 🍷🍷🍷
