ChampagneWine has been made in this north eastern region of France since Roman times, but the advent of the effervescence with which Champagne is synonymous was a relatively recent one and occurred in the mid 1600’s.

Quite who first came up with the idea of a second fermentation in bottle (the source of the bubbles) is unclear. It was definitely wasn’t that famous monk Dom Perignon (although he made enormous contributions in other areas) and there’s even a contentious theory concerning an Englishman called Dr Christopher Merrett who is said to have mastered the process some 30 years before the French announced the invention. Of course we’ll never know for sure but the unique expression of Champagne and the ingenuity behind it live on to this day – and that’s something we can all drink to!

ChampagneDID YOU KNOW?

An unopened bottle of champagne contains about three times the pressure of a car tyre.

According to 101 Crazy

Ways to Die by Matt Roper

you are more likely to be

killed by a freshly-popped

champagne cork than

a poisonous spider.

As well as the mainstays

of Pinot Noir, Pinot

Meunier and Chardonnay

there are four additional

varieties permitted in the

production of Champagne;

Arbanne, Petit Meslier,

Pinot Blanc and Pinot Gris.

The largest format is

called a Melchizedek

and contains 30litres of

Champagne,

ArgentinaAlthough there’s a history of wine production in Argentina dating back four centuries it’s only in the last two decades that it has caught international attention – driven principally by the mighty, meat-friendly Malbec.

Bonarda is the second

lighter, more frivolous

red. And don’t forget

Argentina’s signature

AustraliaFrom a standing start in the early 1800’s Australia’s wine industry grew exponentially until 1875 when disaster struck in the form of phylloxera – a vine pest that had already decimated the European vineyard 15 years earlier.

It wasn’t until the 1960’s

that production regained

stature and traction, but

by the 1980’s the UK was

firmly acquainted with

buttery Chardonnays and

rich Shirazes from the likes

Jacob’s Creek and Penfolds

and a love affair was

established, which thrives

to this day.

EnglandEnglish wine (not to be confused with British wine, which is made from imported grape concentrate) is getting rather serious these days.

Most notable is our

sparkling wine which

consistently tops the

medal table in blind

tastings, so much so that

the Champenoise have

invested in vineyards on the

south coast, recognising

that they share much of

the geology and climate of

their homeland. And there

are also some characterful

white wines, especially

those made using the

Bacchus variety, as well as

delightful roses and even

the occasional red. Cheers!

Alsace sits on the France’s north eastern frontier with Germany and Switzerland.

The Vosges mountains in the west provide shelter from the extremes of the central

European climate whilst the slopes orientate the vines towards the ripening sun.

Alsace’s specialties are; Riesling, Gewürztraminer, Muscat, Pinot Gris,

Pinot Blanc and Pinot Noir.

| R H O N E |

The Rhone is best known for its full-bodied reds, based on Grenache and Syrah, with truly

‘fine wines’ from Cote Rotie and Hermitage in the north to brooding Chateauneuf du Pape’s in the south, along with peppery Cotes du Rhone’s, peachy whites and

bombastic roses.

| PROVENCE & LANGUEDOCROUSSILLON |

The sun-drenched arc from Perpignan to Toulon takes in some of France’s

more accessible and innovative wine regions; Provence is the epicentre of the premium rose craze that’s been sweeping through the UK over the last 15 years, whilst the

Languedoc produces delectable, varietal wines that are just as easy to pronounce as they are to quaff. Also notable are established appellations

like Corbieres where the rose’s are less self-conscious and the reds and whites represent some of the

best values to be found anywhere.

| L O I R E |

The Loire Valley stretches 250 miles from Nantes on the Atlantic coast to Sancerre and

Pouilly-Fume in the east. White varieties reign supreme here; with bone dry Melon de Bourgogne (Muscadet), intense Chenin

Blanc (Vouvray) and of course minerally Sauvignon Blanc in a style that’s appreciably

more complex and nuanced than some of the more ‘tropical’ versions

found in the New World.

| B E A U J O L A I S |

Beaujolais sits below the mighty Burgundy region, and whilst it can’t compete with the ethereal Pinot Noir’s of its northerly

neighbour Beaujolais is unsurpassed as a source of vibrant, fruity reds

for pure drinking pleasure made from Gamay.

| B U R G U N D Y |

Whilst Burgundy inspires a somewhat obsessive devotion amongst its most hardcore

followers, it’s certainly undeniable that no other region in the world confers so much diversity and complexity on just two grape

varieties; Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Burgundy exemplifies ‘terroir’, the concept that a wine’s characteristics are determined

by the topography, geology and microclimate of a particular vineyard. The resulting

wines are rarely cheap (!) but are unmatched for their captivating

flavours and resolute sense of place.

| B O R D E A U X |

Bordeaux is the largest wine producing region in France and arguably the most important and influential wine region in the world. Although 75 million cases are produced each year (approximately 1.5%

of total global production) only 3% of that comes from the Grandes Chateaux like

Lafite, Mouton-Rothschild and Latour with which the region has become synonymous. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet

Franc are the bedrock varieties here, but aromatic whites and sensuous dessert wines

based on Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon are also not to be missed.

USAWe have a great deal to thank the 300 year old American industry for, not least because when the European vineyard was all but destroyed by phylloxera in the mid-1800’s it was disease resistant American rootstock that came to our rescue.

interruption during the

Prohibition era America’s

growth to become a vinous

super-power has been sure

and steady, today wine is

although California is the

the volume.

Dessert & Port

Dessert wines vary considerably in style but all share the fundamental characteristic of extraordinary concentration.

They are decadent,

sensuous, complex and

viscous wines; their

incredible sweetness

punctuated by filigree-

like veins of acidity, and

they accentuate even the

simplest pud or tiniest

morsel of cheese to round

off a meal like nothing else.

Put them on your dessert

menu (not just the wine

list) and pour small glasses

with a modest margin for

maximum effect.
