Champagne Delamotte & Salon.
Champagne Delamotte is a small producer of champagne in the
grand cru village of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. It is not only one of the oldest
champagne houses, but also, arguably, one of the most refined in
style and pedigree. This is hardly surprising, considering Delamotte’s
status as sister house of the legendary Salon Champagne, perhaps the
world’s finest and rarest blanc de blancs champagne, produced only in
exceptional vintages.

Alsace.
Burgundy.
The style of wine reflects Alsace’s rather complicated history, that of a region which has changed nationality six times
in 300 years. There are obvious Germanic influences yet the wines here are unique, more powerful, drier than those
of Germany and with quite a different mineral definition. Slow as a region to appreciate precisely how valuable their
ingredients are, growers are now addressing the idea of typicity and a sense of place with zealotic enthusiasm.
These wines offer exceptional value.

Burgundy.
Burgundy’s complexity and tremendous diversity are the result of geological accident. Centuries ago, faulting tore the great
valley apart, easing the passage of the nearby Saône River. The slope thus formed is irregular and intricate making for a rich
tapestry with which to create stunning Burgundy. Burgundy begins in Chablis, isolated some 80 miles north of the rest of
the region with its very individual terroir. The region then extends over some 180 miles of varied, spectacular countryside,
as far as Lyon in the south, via the Côte de Nuits, Côte de Beaune, Côte Chalonnaise, the Mâconnais and Beaujolais.

Bordeaux.
Today’s Bordeaux wines face many challenges in a world where wines are increasingly accessible, flattering the taster –
a far cry from the rather stoical classicism for which Bordeaux is best known, creating wines to last. They do say
however that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and Bordeaux blends are emulated the world over. Despite all of
the technical know-how available, the fact remains that what makes Bordeaux special is unique to Bordeaux; a complex
geological, meteorological and geographical mix which cannot be copied. Bordeaux wines, produced with respect for
their origins, are special. Happily, an increasing number of producers are coming to realise that they are better off
perfecting what they have rather than trying to copy the power of warmer climes. Vintages are naturally different and
are all the better for that – great food wines.

The Loire, stretching over 600 miles, is the longest river in France, and travelling through no fewer than 12 departements,
it is small wonder that the scope for different styles of wine is so wide. The Loire Valley has a marginal climate reliant
on south-facing slopes with sunshine reflected on stone, streams and sheltered oasis. The Loire is home to some of
the world’s most famous wines; Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé from the central valley to Anjou-Saumur with its warmer
Atlantic influence ideal for sweet whites, rosés and sparkling wines.

Languedoc - Roussillon.
Languedoc-Roussillon is the central region in the south of France. More relaxed wine laws here allow wine makers to
be much more experimental in terms of blends and styles, making this an incredibly exciting wine region, with lots of
hidden gems and wide ranging styles of wines. About a quarter of all vines in France are found in this region and it is the
largest vine growing region in the world. Following huge investments since the 1970s, this has become one of the most
successful wine regions in France.

Rhône.
The northern and southern areas of the Rhône Valley differ so much in terms of geology, topography and climate
that they ought to be considered two different regions. The northern area, with its steep, granitic slopes planted with
terraced staked vines produces perhaps the finest reds from Syrah and Condrieu from Viognier. The southern area takes
on a more Mediterranean style where vineyards are planted with a myriad of varieties with a distinctive southern French
character. Both areas of the valley benefit from the cooling Mistral wind, allowing for greater freshness than would
ordinarily be expected this far south.

Provence and Corsica.
England.
Located on the Mediterranean coast, Provence is quite a small region, but its impact is profound. It is alleged that this
is one of the oldest wine regions in France, traced back some 2,600 years. Rosé is the real star from the region, and the
region boasts a research institute dedicated to this style of wine. Further south still is the Island of Corsica with its Vine
de Corse wine appellation. Production on the Island is around half rosé, a third red and the remainder white. Corsica is
home to some interesting local varieties well worth discovering.
Vignerons are special people indeed. Taking on Mother Nature requires real strength of character but one might
question the (in)sanity of attempting to make wine in a climate as unpredictable as England’s. So, how to be a
winemaker in Blighty? Exact ingredients and timings may vary but start with a dream, a few spoonfuls of fervent
conviction, equal patience of spirit, top it up with sheer dogged determination and you have the basic recipe. There is
no doubt that winemakers with the mettle are learning fast. While the concept of English wine seems to be causing
a degree of mirth across the channel, it is interesting to note how many champenois are investing in vineyards on the
chalk rich soils of England’s southern counties.

Austria and Germany.
2013
Germany produces some of the world’s finest white wines, presenting natural, grapey richness complemented by
racy acidity. Riesling is king here, offering purity and precision. Producers run the gauntlet of nurturing vines in a very
marginal climate, at the absolute limit of where grapes will ripen. This is both a constant threat and a magnificent
opportunity as vine and man both struggle to balance two essential but dangerous elements in fine wine – acidity and
ripeness. At their best, such wines can be electric and the perfect complement to a vast array of dishes and even some
trickier ingredients. Hugely versatile, these are great food wines.

peninsula is home to an enormous range of climates, topographies and soil types hosting hundreds of distinctive grapes
unique to Italy. It is hardly surprising then, that Italy’s wine range is so diverse, spanning all colours and styles, from dry to
sweet, still wine to sparkling wine, and everything in between.

Spain And Portugal.
Spain offers all manner of styles of wine, reflecting the country’s hugely varied topography, geology, climate and
microclimates. Today there is real excitement as new dynamic producers turn their backs on bulk production, instead
working to the strengths of the country, pushing the boundaries and creating fresher, characterful wines with real
personality. Portugal is on a roll – well overdue. Loved by the wine press and, despite the rate of exchange, offering
great value,it is also a low wine-miles alternative to imports from further afield. Quality can be exceptional and a new
generation of aspirant winemakers is set to put Portugal on the world map.
"Definitely, one was spoilt in
2010 to be a winemaker."

North America.
North America has been producing wine for over 300 years and is now the fourth largest wine producer in the world.
While many consumers associate North American wine with California (where indeed most is produced), it may surprise
you to discover that a winery exists in every US state and in Canada too. The style and quality of North American wines
varies dramatically according to region, climate, geography, soils, grape varieties used, and importantly the producer
behind the wine.

Chile.
Argentina.
The quality and availability of Chilean wines have flourished in the last twenty years. This position is strengthened by
Chile’s special trade agreement with the EU, which waives the import levy it applies to all other non-European wines.
While wine consumers worldwide enjoy the easy-drinking charm of Chile’s inexpensive fruity wines, Chile’s wine
producers have higher aspirations too, to make stylish, complex wines expressive of their unique origins, wines with a
tangible ‘sense of place’, a notion the Europeans call terroir.
Argentina is one of the world’s most exciting wine-producing countries. Important both in quantity and in the quality
and style of its wines, Argentina has much to tempt wine consumers of all palates and pockets. Its juicy, soft-textured,
everyday-drinking wines made from European varieties such as Chardonnay, Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot
are widely consumed both in Argentina and abroad.

Brazil.
Not only is domestic wine consumption on the increase in Brazil, but its youthful wine industry is making great strides
forward. Most of Brazil’s vineyards are located to the south, where the temperature is a little cooler. Seival has seen much
investment in both the vineyards and its winery, making it a great ambassador, illustrating the potential Brazil has to offer.

Australia.
New Zealand.
Australia’s wine industry has been phenomenally successful in the last 30 years and today is the world’s fourth
largest wine exporter, with wines sold in over 100 countries. Australia was the first of the ‘new world’ wine producing
countries to understand how to appeal to modern wine drinkers, with its inexpensive, easy-drinking wine styles.
Its innovative strategy of producing and labelling wines according to grape variety proved highly popular and saw
Australia steal valuable market share from traditional producing countries France, Italy and Spain.
New Zealand’s wines continue to soar in popularity with wine drinkers, driven by the exuberant, stylish
Marlborough Sauvignon Blancs that have become the country’s vinous signature. Despite the fact that this grape
variety now accounts for almost 70% of New Zealand’s entire production, equating to some 200 million bottles a
year, New Zealand is certainly no one-trick pony when it comes to its regional and varietal scope. Its Burgundian
Chardonnays, pristine Riesling styles and rich, perfumed Pinot Noirs remain hard to beat for their quality, balance,
finesse and sheer drinkability.

South Africa.
Dessert Wine.
South Africa is one of the world’s most exciting wine producing regions today, with enormous potential for
high-quality wines. Post-Apartheid, the South African wine industry is in renaissance, supported by outside
investment (particularly from Europe), and a dynamic new generation of winemakers keen to push quality
boundaries, experiment with site selection and create different wine styles. The Cape’s location is key to this: the
wine lands here are buffeted continually by cooling ocean breezes, tempering the intense heat at this latitude
and providing near-perfect conditions for high quality wine grapes. South Africa’s wine styles typically reflect
these conditions, dovetailing exuberant sunshine flavours with the elegant structural frame more typical of
cooler-climate European wines.
