Chris’ Favorite Pics
CHAMPAGNE _________________________________________________
Pol Roger, Champagne Brut Extra Cuvée de Reserve NV........................................ $92.00
has always been a misunderstood champagne; fairly well known but somehow it has never really
been considered among the best. That’s unfortunate because it is to me among the most reliable
house in the market today. Its Brut
Audoin de Dampierre, Champagne Brut Millésimé 1996 « Family Reserve............ $146.00
This is one of my all time favorites. Not only the finest of his wines (at least to me) but it also
comes in a fantastic package. The Cork is held by a thread tied the very old fashion way. It is
the only Champagne house to still do that on their top Cuvée. The wine reflect perfectly the
greatness of the vintage. A delicate balance between the discreet effervescence and the subtil
flavors.
WHITE WINES ________________________________________________
Domaine Weinbach, Alsace Sylvaner 2003.............................................................. $35.00
The sylvaner variety makes a tremendous summer wine. This wine comes from one of the best
Alsacian producer and it shows. A mix of white fruit (peach and nectarine) it will accompany
perfectly any fish but will truly show its character with our mussels
Domaine Phillipe Girard, Savigny-Lès-Beaune 2001 .............................................. $35.00
This wine is a perfect example of what the “lesser” appellations of white burgundy are capable
of. A crisp, clean wine with some exotic fruit and white fruits as well ( I thinking nectarine here)
with a touch of sweet lemon aromas. And at that price, I do believe it is worth a try
Domaine Pierre Vessigaud, Pouilly-Fuissé Vieilles Vignes 2004................................. $62.00
The greatest thing about wines is when you think you know the best producer in a region, there is
always someone to remind you that you really don’t know anything….When I first saw this wine I
figured it was another one of those “over priced and over-worked Pouilly-Fuissé about to end up
over there in the sink” wine. And then I tasted it. The nose is a fairly straightforward balance of
citrus fruits and green apple but the palate is an ongoing war of flavors where the traditional
white fruit slowly give way to a more sustain but delicate passion fruit all of it surrounded by a
vanilla suggesting some malolactic fermentation and oak barrel ageing. Let’s face it , I need a
swift kick in the …more than I need another white burgundy, but I have virtually no will power
when I come across wines like this one.
RED WINES __________________________________________________
Abbaye de Tholomiès, Minervois 2004 .................................................................... $32.00
I have been saying for a while that the wines from the Languedoc are slowly but surely coming
out of the shadow of the great Bordeaux or Rhônes and I am always ecstatic when I can prove it
(call it ego if you wish). This particular wine hass a deep, dark purple color, a profound nose of
dark fruits (think super ripe blacberries) with a touch of toasted bread, revealing powerful
flavors of red berries, vanilla, wood and tar and soft tannins on the palate. At this price it is
more than a steal…
Domaine François Parent, Pommard 1er Cru “les Arvelets” 2000 ......................... $104.00
A fabulous wine showing red berries ( cherry in particular), toasted bread and liquorice: An
immense wine. They only make about 160 cases of this wine and they of course sell it at a very
unreasonable price (why wouldn’t they after all?). We manage however to get a few cases of this
wine at a considerable discount so you should not pass this up.
When selecting these wines, I carefully
consider the price/quality ratio although
– I admit —I sometimes have to mention
it no matter what price it may be.

Champagnes made from only white grapes
(Chardonnay).Finesse is the definition of these
wines. Some can age very well but all are quite
enjoyable upon release.
An addition of red still wine (Pinot Noir or
Pinot Meunier) in the Champagne
Turns it into Rosé (Pink) Champagne.
Traditional Rosé making method consisting in
making rosé champagne from rosé still wine is
very rarely used nowadays.

Bordeaux & Sauternes (Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc, Muscadelle)
Alsace is one of the rare region
to call their wines by the names
of the grape varietals rather than
the name of the local commune
(town). Although most people
believe Alsacian wines are sweet,
the fact of the matter is that they
are usually dry.
Gewürztraminer, Riesling, Pinot
Gris and Muscat Blanc à Petit
Grains are known as the Noble
Grape varieties and are the most
common. Pinot Blanc, Sylvaner
Pinot Auxerrois, Pinot Blanc,
Muscat Ottonel, Pinot Noir and
Chasselas (the german Gutedel)
are among the secondary grapes.
The wines are among the best of
France varying in depth, intensity
and flavors depending on the
grapes. Pinot Blanc and
Sylvaner are clean and Crisp
with citrus fruits accents, the
Riesling are known for their
petrol and white fruit savors,
Gewürztraminers are closer to

Arguably considered the best
whites wines of France, the
Burgundy whites vary from light
to medium body with mineral
overtones like the wines of the
Mâconnais or the Côte
Chalonnaise ( Saint-Véran,
Pouilly-Fuissé, Rully etc..) to
Rich and luscious wines with
tropical fruits and full body
followed by a long finish such as
Meursault, ChassagneMontrachet, Corton-Charlemagne
etc…
Although most are best drunk
within five years some deserve to
age 10 years or more.

The region of Jura & Savoie located
at the bottom hill of the French Alps is
home to some of the most obscure wines
of France. The king grapes there are
Savagnin, Altesse and Chardonnay.
The wines show tremendous depth and
aromas of green to slightly toasted
walnuts and hazelnuts.
Jura & Arbois
Rhône whites are amongst my
favorites. They have strength
with nuts and honey flavors and
have a very long finish.
Except a few that age well they
should be drunk young.
Rivesaltes and Banyuls are both
from the Languedoc Roussillon
near the Spanish border. The
grapes used are mainly
Grenache white and red except
for the Muscats. They are in
essence France’s answer to
Ports: Powerful and of very
long ageing with aromas of
toasted walnuts and almonds.
They are some of the best
dessert wines produced in
France.

The Vin Jaunes and Château-Chalon

late picked and then aged for a period
of no less than 6 years in barrels
without “ouillage” (topping off). Dry
and powerful with strong flavors of
green almonds and walnuts.

Just about all styles of wines come
from this region. Traditionally the
grapes are the same than in the
Rhône. However, new age
winemaking as added a lot of
Bordeaux varieties into the blend.
The end results are wines with the
traditional spices of the Rhône and a
touch of softness and strength brought
by Merlot and/or Cabernets. Great
values…

are powerful with dark

more gamy flavors like
leather, wild mushrooms,
tobacco, spices and pepper

The Côte de Nuits is home of
the most expensive and sought
after red wines of Burgundy
(i.e. Romanée-Conti,La
Romanée, La Tâche etc.)
Contratry to the Côte de
Beaune whites are fairly
uncommon and there is only one
Grand Cru white :Musigny.
The wines are usually more
intense, full bodied with aromas
of liquorice, red berries,
tobacco and chocolate. The
greatest ones are very long lived
if properly cared for; 8 to 15
years or more of age is
beneficial for these wines.
