Der Wein muss atmen! Oder nicht? Darüber sprechen Lou und Jonas in dieser Folge. Dabei erfährst Du auch, was mit den Fachbegriffen „Dekantieren“ und „Karaffieren“ gemeint ist, wozu das Ganze gut sein soll und warum Lou den Wein auch schonmal in den Messbecher von ihrem Thermomix gekippt hat. Wein der Woche: Philippe de Noange Montagne St. Emilion rot Frankreich AC Ob zu Braten, Ragouts oder Pilzgerichten - dieser Wein ist perfekt für die kalte Jahreszeit. Angebaut an der rechten Uferseite Bordeauxs, überzeugt dieser trockene, würzige und bukettreiche Rotwein mit einem ausgewogenen Säure- und Tanninverhältnis. Harmoniert auch mit cremig-würzigen Weichkäsesorten hervorragend! Frage der Woche: Wie lange kann man offenen Wein trinken? „Das kommt immer auf den Wein und die Stilistik an. Es gibt Weine, die kippen nach drei oder vier Tagen. Es gibt aber auch Weine, die sich zum Positiven entwickeln. Faustregel: nach dem Öffnen luftdicht verschließen und an einem kühlen Ort aufbewahren. Dann sollte sich jeder Wein mindestens drei Tage halten. Sollte der Wein vorher um sein, Weinauswahl überdenken oder schneller trinken …“ - Lou Genau das Richtige für Deine Weinprobe und zum Üben von Verkostungen: Das Cheers!

This podcast is a refresher on Merlot (it's been 12 years, so it's time!). It's one of the titans of the wine grapes, and yet it's not often that we encounter it as a varietal wine. Because it is frequently blended, Merlot can often be forgotten or not given its due.   But Merlot will not be forgotten! It is the second-most planted grape in the world, the most widely grown grape in Bordeaux, and its pedigree as part of some of the world's most prestigious and well-known Bordeaux and Bordeaux-style wines makes it royalty in the wine world.   But Merlot is not without challenges. When it's not grown on the proper soils or managed meticulously, wine made of Merlot bears little resemblance to great wines of Bordeaux or other regions that are famed for blends that use it. The reputation of Merlot as a boring, flabby, dull wine is not the fault of the grape, and although it was a convenient scapegoat, it's also not the fault of the movie “Sideways.” The fact is that Merlot is not as easy to grow as people thought, and in 1980s and 1990s, opportunistic companies used high-yielding clones on bad rootstock and in bad sites to churn out high alcohol fruit bombs, lacking all the nuance that make the grape esteemed in its homeland.     This says nothing about the grape, but much about the people who defiled it. Although it is entirely capable of making boring, cheap wine, Merlot simultaneously makes up 95% of Château Petrus, Bordeaux's most expensive wine and is used in fine wines all over the world for its ability to elevate a blend. In this show we pay homage to Merlot, and this time, shed some light on the recent past for Merlot and why, ultimately, it has done little to harm the grape's reputation among winemakers and those who take the time to know the grape.   DNA and Parentage Merlot originates from Gironde or SW France or Basque country. It's the child of Cabernet Franc and Magdeleine Noire des Charentes from Brittany Merlot Gris: Pink color mutation of Merlot Merlot Blanc: A cross of Merlot x Folle Blanche created in 1891 NOT WHITE MERLOT, which is just Merlot made like white Zinfandel   History We discuss the history of Merlot – from its first mention in Bordeaux, to its more modern history - its rise in the 1990s and its fall in the early 2000s in California, Australia, and the global consumer market.       In the Vineyard Merlot is an early budding variety, making it susceptible to spring frost – it needs good weather at flowering or it won't have a great vintage. The grape needs cooler, well-drained soils – cooler limestone and clay soils are best Because Merlot is thin skinned with loose to medium density bunches it is also susceptible to disease (downy mildew) and botrytis (bad). It is bad in drought, which raises the question: how will it do with climate change, which we discuss. Merlot ripens about 2 weeks earlier than Cabernet Sauvignon and it's the first red grape picked in Bordeaux. That makes it a great agriculture hedge – if it does well, there is less pressure to have a huge Cabernet Sauvignon harvest. The grape has milder tannins, higher sugar, and lower acidity (especially malic) than its relations Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. It can be vigorous, so yields must be managed and picking decision is important, since Merlot loses acidity quickly once ripe. Two main styles result from picking decisions (among other factors – terroir!): Bordeaux style: Merlot is harvested earlier, leading to a more acidic, medium alcohol wine (Pétrus). These wines tend to have moderate alcohol and show more red fruit flavors (cherry) along with “other” things like: green and black tea, mint, oregano, rosemary, sage, thyme, earthy, mushrooms, green pepper, green olive International style: Concentrates on physiological ripeness, with long hang time to have hardened stems and seeds (wines of Michel Rolland). These wines are often inky, purple, dark wines, with high alcohol, velvety tannins, and dark fruit character (plum, blackberry, blueberry). The wine is smooth and can seem sweet due to the high alcohol, strong fruit, and the oak used that brings flavors like caramel, chocolate, coffee, vanilla, nut, and cigar.   _____________________________________________________ Regions: the grape is planted everywhere! This is more or less a list…     FranceMerlot is France's most planted grape   Bordeaux Bordeaux is the grape's native home, and it is the most cultivated grape in the region. It contains half of all the Merlot in France. The grape does best on cooler limestone and clay soils of the Right Bank and in pockets of the Left Bank. Climate change is a challenge for Merlot – it will need to be grown exclusively in cooler spots as the climate warms Right Bank Pomerol: Can be up to 100% Merlot. Wine is luscious, soft, velvety, plummy, iron or clay-like. Famed châteaux are Pétrus, Le Pin Émilion: Usually contains 60-70% Merlot with Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon. Flavors are more like balsam, dried fruit, with tea notes, but the wines vary based on limestone, clay or sand content in the soil. Famed châteaux mentioned are Angelus and Pavie Other high quality Right Bank AOPs with Merlot based wines: Canon-Fronsac, Fronsac, St-Émilion “satellites” (Lussac St. Emilion, Montagne St. Emilion, Puisseguin St. Emilion and St. Georges St. Emilion)   Left Bank A major blending component of AOPs: Graves, Médoc, Saint-Estèphe, Listrac, Moulis, Pessac-Leognan   Other Bordeaux: all Côtes de Bordeaux (I recommend Francs and Castillon), Bordeaux and Bordeaux Superieur AOPs     Southwest France: Bergerac where it is blended with Cabernets, Cahors where it is blended with Malbec Languedoc and Loire grow Merlot     Italy: Merlot is the third most planted red in Italy and is made in a number of styles In Northern Italy: Alto-Adige, Friuli, parts of Veneto: the wines often have higher acidity, herbal notes and can be blended with other grapes. Tuscany: Super Tuscan blends in Bolgheri/Tuscan coast – producers use Merlot to soften Sangiovese or Cabernet in blends. Masseto by Antinori is 100% Merlot on clay soils (it costs more than US$1000 per bottle). Climate change is worrisome in these areas because it is getting too hot for Merlot. Other regions: Umbria, Lazio     Other Western/Central Europe: Spain: Catalonia, Castilla-La Mancha, Navarra, Aragón Portugal Switzerland: In Ticino made as a rosé Germany: Pfalz, Rheinhessen Austria: grown in all wine-growing regions in Austria, basic wines     Eastern Europe: Bulgaria: Significant plantings, varietal wines Hungary: In Bull's Blood (Egri Bikaver) with Kekfrankos, Kardarka Romania: Most widely exported red Croatia, Slovenia (near Italian border), Ukraine, Moldova, Greece,   _____________________________________________________ United States   Washington State: Excellent Merlot with strong acidity, dark color, and lots of interesting earthy, fruity flavor. The long growing season with cool nights lends the wine great structure. This is my top pick for US Merlot! Producers mentioned: Leonetti, Chateau Ste. Michelle, Andrew Will, Columbia Crest Regions mentioned: Walla Walla, Red Mountain     California In the early days of California wine, Merlot was a varietal wine. Sterling was the first to make a vintage dated Merlot. Warren Winiarski, a leader in California wine in the 1970s and owner of Stag's Leap Wine Cellars, promoted Merlot as part of a Bordeaux blend We recap a bit of the story of how it evolved in California that we discussed earlier in the show. Then we talk about some of the styles in various regions   Napa: Producers usually dedicate the best soils and sites to Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot is an afterthought. Right now there is a bit of a shortage of Merlot because no one has focused on it but demand is increasing as styles have changed. Top Producers: Duckhorn, Pride, La Jota Regions mentioned for Merlot: Carneros, Mt Veeder, Rutherford, Oakville     Other California:  Monterey (bulk), Sonoma (Alexander Valley, some Sonoma Valley)     Other US: Oregon (Rogue Valley), Virginia. Long Island (great stuff! Merlot is their best grape), Texas     Mexico, Canada (most prominent in BC for Bordeaux style blends)   _____________________________________________________ Southern Hemisphere   Chile:  Producers mistook Carménère for Merlot in the 1990s but they've slowly gotten back to real Merlot. Top areas: Colchagua (Apalta sub AVA), Maule, Curicó. I mention the famed wine writer     Argentina: Merlot is made in a ripe style, often blended in with other grapes     Australia: The grape is often used for blending with Cabernet, but had similar issues to California when demand rose in the 1990s – Merlot was overplanted in warm bulk areas like Murray Darling, Riverina, Riverland.  Today, quality Margaret River and Western Australia.     New Zealand: Merlot is the second most planted after Pinot Noir. It does especially well in blends coming out of Hawke's Bay. Merlot also does well in Auckland, Marlborough, and Martinborough     South Africa: Cooler sites in Stellenbosch, Paarl, Franschhoek       Other places: Israel, Lebanon, India, Japan, China     Suggested food pairings Cabernet style ("big wines"): Roasted, grilled food, “brown food” – hearty stews, meats, heavy dishes Soft, fruity styles with high acidity: Mushroom, salmon, spinach, greens   We end with a warning about serving temperature: NEVER SERVE MERLOT TOO WARM!! 60˚–65°F _______________________________________________________________ I could not be happier to announce my partnership with Wine Access, once again.

In this episode we speak to Lizzie Emilion about sexual harassment in philanthropic giving, donor dominance and the professionalism of fundraising. We also talk about what people in the sector at all levels can do to prevent sexual harassment from occuring.

We've been making our way through hundreds of Bordeaux 2020 samples each week in our office in Hong Kong and have found some spectacular bottles. Famous wine estates both on the Right and Left Banks have stood out and St. Emilion is shining through beautifully with a freshness and finesse to the solid fruit and tannin structures in the wines. In this video, you can watch James talk with Pierre Courdurie of Chateau Croix de Labrie in Bordeaux about the 2020 vintage in bottle and the year's "amazing" upside. “Our 2020 Croix de Labrie is the best of the trilogy,” Pierre Courdurie, who owns his tiny biodynamic estate in St. Emilion with his wife, said. “In 2020, we gained energy in the wine” compared with 2018 and 2019, he said. Courdurie is like many wine producers in Bordeaux who felt that the hot and dry weather during the summer grape-growing season in 2020 was easier to handle because of the two similar vintages before it. Hear the full conversation in this new podcast.  

Claire Ducrocq Weinkauf is the CEO of Picayune Cellars. She started the business with her good friend Jennifer Roberts because they shared the same love for drinking quality wines and the drive to search for a great value. The two started rescuing distinctive lots from prestigious wineries to make their blend in 2011.  Inspired by the power of a Mouton Rothschild, Claire earned a wine degree in Chile and then traveled to France to work harvest in St. Emilion and the Côte du Rhône. She also owns Claire de Lune Consulting, which focuses on helping fantastic producers, including Matthiasson Wines, Anomaly Vineyards, Morlet Family Estate, Cowhorn Winery, and more, to grow their businesses. In this episode with Claire Ducrocq Weinkauf What power can wine bring to the table? How can it be a medium to eliminate the gap between people and lead them to share their experiences? Wine evokes emotions in people, just like music and art do. It works as the perfect conversation starter, bringing people together. Claire Ducrocq Weinkauf used this theory while setting up her store. In today's episode of the Legends Behind the Craft podcast, Drew Thomas Hendricks and Bianca Harmon sit down with Claire Ducrocq Weinkauf, CEO of Picayune Cellars, as she talks about her journey in winemaking. Claire also shares her profound appreciation of wines. She explains how she managed to bring the winery to its current position and how doing business in Calistoga differs from other states.

Vanille, Karamell oder Kaffee – alles Aromen, die entstehen können, wenn ein Wein im Barrique ausgebaut wurde. Aber warum baut man Wein in Holz aus? Und was ist überhaupt Barrique? Für alle, die gerade ein riesiges Fragezeichen im Kopf haben: Don't worry! Denn all das erklärt Dir Lou in dieser Folge, und sie verrät auch, welche Vorteile das Verfahren für den Geschmack und für die Qualität eines Weines hat. Keine Sorge, also! Nach Holz schmeckt der Wein ganz sicher nicht! Wein der Woche: Philippe de Noange Montagne St. Emilion rot Frankreich A.C. Ob zu Braten, Ragouts oder Pilzgerichten - dieser Wein ist perfekt für die kalte Jahreszeit. Angebaut an der rechten Uferseite Bordeauxs, überzeugt dieser trockene, würzige und bukettreiche Rotwein mit einem ausgewogenen Säure- und Tanninverhältnis. Harmoniert auch mit cremig-würzigen Weichkäsesorten hervorrragend! Weinlexikon: B wie Biodynamie Die Biodynamie ist eine Bewirtschaftungsform und umfasst alle Aspekte des ökologischen Weinbaus. Das heißt, es werden keine Mineraldünger oder Unkrautvernichtungsmittel eingesetzt.

Happy Thanksgiving/Harvest Meal 2022. For this episode, we're discussing wines that will give you great bang for your buck, pair perfectly with the meal, and impress your guests. Photo: Pumpkins & Pais! (c) Wine For Normal People These pairings are really for any traditional western meal – Thanksgiving, Christmas, or any sort of food that celebrates autumn flavors.    Here's the list for 2022... The Welcome Wine Sparkling options: Sekt from Germany (Riesling is best), South African Cap Classique, Lambrusco Sherry: Our favorite type of Sherry is Amontillado. It's great with nuts and generally well liked by people when they try it. Good producers: Hidalgo la Gitana, Valdespino, Lustau, Osbourne, and Bodegas Dios Baco are some great producers. Dry white wines Wines that complement a buttery, savory meal: Grillo from Sicily Pinot Blanc from Alsace Soave from Italy A blend from Lisboa (around Lisbon, Portugal) Verdejo from Spain OR More acidic whites -- better with acidic food with a lot of citrus/acidity or for contrast: Vernaccia di San Gimignano (Tuscany) Australian Riesling from the Clare and Eden Valleys Finger Lakes Riesling Off Dry Whites for dishes with fruit or with sweetness (yams, corn): Mosel Riesling from Germany Off-dry Finger Lakes Riesling Vouvray from the Loire Valley, France   Light Reds and rosé (good with turkey, ham, pork): Frappato from Sicily País from Chile (similar to Beaujolais) Zweigelt from Austria Rosé: Tavel from Rhône, Côte de Provence, or something from your local winery Heavier reds (for non-turkey meals): Bordeaux – general Bordeaux or Bordeaux Superieur for MVP, Right Bank (St. Emilion, Fronsac) and Côtes de Bordeaux for meats or heavier vegetables with more delicate, herbal flavors, Médoc for more robust meats with more charred notes Primitivo for robust meats Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon or Carménere for heavily flavored, braised, charred meat   Dessert: Ruby Port for chocolate desserts Muscat-based wines – Muscat de Beaumes de Venise, Muscat de Rivesaltes for fruit or custard desserts Bring back the off-dry Sekt or Lambrusco from the beginning of the meal to enjoy at the end of the meal. Lambrusco is good with berry or cherry desserts, Sekt with apple and custards   Tips: Don't buy too much wine. If you have a limited number of drinkers, limit the choices for the meal. If you plan to serve dessert wine, don't go overboard with options at the beginning of the meal or you'll have no takers. If your meal has a theme – it's very savory or is very vegetable focused, stick to the wine that will best suit those dishes and don't offer too many choices   Check out the Wine For Normal People book for more tips on pairing!    Have a safe, happy, healthy holiday.

Associate Editor Claire Nesbitt chats with Edouard Vauthier of Chateau Ausone about the 2019 vintage in St. Emilion."The quality of the vintage for me was quite fresh and elegant and it has really, really long length and also the terroir was very well represented," Edouard says. "We didn't really extract that much because the skin was still really pretty thick. After that, the aging process was still the same – 20 months in the barrel."Claire says of the Chapelle d'Ausone St.-Emilion 2019: "It's so aromatic, so beautiful... lots of black fruit and flowers. And it's got this almost slightly sweet fruit, almost like a citrusy orange peel character to it at the end that gives it this freshness, which is really lovely."Edouard says the Chateau Ausone St.-Emilion 2019, meanwhile, represents the "best of the best" of what they have in the cellar.

Everyone knows the Bordeaux regions of Médoc, St. Emilion and Pomerol. But there are 62 other appellations there, many of which are producing super values. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On April 10 James spoke with Croix de Labrie's owner Pierre Courdurie over Zoom to discuss the unusual frost that hit some of the vineyards in Bordeaux, and to taste some of the excellent 2020 wines from the small winery, a vintage that proved to be another winner for the estate. With 3% cabernet sauvignon in the wine, it shows some rethinking in blends due to changes in the weather patterns.The 2020 wines are proving to be the third excellent year in a row for producers from Bordeaux, with balance and tension. These wines are perhaps slightly less flamboyant than the 2018s and more along the lines of the 2019s that had fantastic freshness and linear phenolic character.Take a listen of the full conversation and read the tasting notes below.

On April 20 James and consulting enologist Hubert de Bouard (who owns the famous St.-Emilion winery Chateau Angelus and consults for a range of wineries such as Chateaux Chantegrive in the Graves appellation and Fieuzal in Pessac-Leognan) discussed the Bordeaux 2020 and how the weather positively affected the growth of the merlot – much more so than cabernet – before harvest.“I have to say it is a merlot year,” said Hubert de Bouard, “The merlot is great in the Medoc too."The video is available now at JamesSuckling.com.

INTERVIEW AND TASTINGInternational wine critic and Masterclass.com Instructor James Suckling recently tasted with negociant François Thienpont and his son Edward, who distribute the Thienpont family property wines and also represent lesser-known chateaux that produce wines of the same quality as the most illustrious growths. The Bordeaux 2018 wines are proving to be every bit as great as James suspected they would be back when he rated the wines from barrel in Spring 2019.   François described the 2018 vintage as “very powerful and integrated,” while James said wines from the 2018 vintage "have such a full mid-palate that give this beautiful sort of unctuous gourmand character to it." One of the highlights of the tasting was the L'If St.-Emilion 2018, from the same ownership as the legendary Le Pin from Pomerol. James said it is clearly the best wine ever from here, which has only been producing wines since its first official vintage in 2011.Listen to the full podcast for the full conversation and tasting, which included various wines that are listed below. THE WINES TASTED:Château Puygueraud Francs Côtes de Bordeaux Cuvée George 2018Château Puygueraud Francs Côtes de Bordeaux Blanc 2018L'Etoile Lalande-de-Pomerol 2018La Violette du Manoir Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux 2018Château Pavie-Macquin St.-Emilion 2018L'If St.-Emilion 2018

The Spider by Basil Copper@stuieburley on Twitter put me onto Basil Copper. He had recommended the Janissaries of Emilion. I'd never heard of Basil so I got a Kindle Edition of The Collected Macabre Tales of Basil Copper which includes that story. However, it is long. I may do it another time, but for this week I selected a shorter story. But it's a good one. Basil Copper was born in 1924 and lived until 2013 when he died aged 89! He was born in London, England. His first story was published in March 1938, the Magazine of the Tonbridge Senior Boys School. Tonbridge is in Kent, and when I was a boy we went on an exchange visit to Kent. Most schools in England went to foreign countries but the trip from Cumberland to Kent, England's most northwesterly county to England most southeasterly county, was enough of a culture shock for us. He is most famous for his stories featuring the character Solar Pons. This character was created by August Derleth, H P Lovecraft's protege, and is very much in the Lovecraftian tradition of authors sharing worlds and characters between their stories. Copper was published by the Arkham House publishing house, run by August Derleth. Many of Copper's stories feature the Cthulhu Mythos.  Despite his links with the Cthulhu Mythos, Copper admitted that his influences were M R James and Edgar Allan Poe and he was interested in Gothic literature.  The Spider is a phobia story. It's very cleverly written, neat and effective. In that it reminds me of Marghatina Laski's The Tower where the phobia is vertigo. Here it is arachnophobia. Turns out that the landlord of the wayside auberge just south of Paris has a skin for picking up on a visitor's fears and killing the visitor via heart attack by inducing the phobia. The insect horror theme is of course featured in Boomerang by Oscar Cook. This story appears in the 1964 Pan Book of Horror Stories. He was paid £10 for the story.  Copper lived at Sevenoaks in Kent and founded the Tunbridge Wells Vintage Film Society. He was a movie buff and a member of several societies related to films.  His wife was French and he is clearly familiar with the county in which The Spider is set. Apparently the story idea came from a spider that was in a room in a hotel he and his wife stayed in while on holiday in Paris. He met his wife and married in her in 1960 when she was in England learning English. His first novel was actually a detective story Copper was very prolific and in addition to his weird tales and novels he wrote 58 detective novels set in LA. When he wrote the first novels, he had never visited the city and used maps and films to provide background.  He worked as a journalist, running a county paper at the age of 17. He served in the Royal Navy during the Second World War and took part in the D-Day landings.  Music byhttps://bit.ly/somecomeback (The Heartwood Institute) The final tune is by Michael Romeo of https://bit.ly/dvoykinbandcamp (Dvoynik) Support the Podcast Any Way You Can!http://bit.ly/ghostiest (Buy the thirsty, hyperactive podcaster a cup of Java) Sign up For Exclusive Stuff and Early Bird Exposures on http://bit.ly/barcudpatreon (Patreon) Get the https://bit.ly/substacklanding (Substack Newsletter) with Exclusives My Ghost StoriesGet my free audiobook download, The Dalston Vampire https://bit.ly/dalstonvampire (here), and you may consider purchasing my https://bit.ly/HorrorStoriesForHalloween (Horror Stories For Halloween), which is now long past.

Rutger de Vink the founder of RDV established is Vineyard in 204 after having working as an intern with Jim Law and Linden in the early 2000s. He credits Jim for a fortuitous trip he took at Jim's invitation with a group of winemakers to travel to Bordeaux in 2002. It was during that trip that he met a fellow Dutchman, Kees van Leeuwen, when they visited Cheval Blanc in St. Emilion. It was Kees, who was a vineyard consultant, that he listen to about what was necessary for a vineyard site to be great. Just prior to that trip Rutger had been looking on the West Coast but when he came back he decided he would search for an ideal site in Virginia, which he did not that far from Linden where he had apprenticed. RDV's first vintage was 2008, and once again he would be fortunate as he was introduced by Jean-Phillippe Roty to Eric Boissenot an enologist and consultant to Ch. Latour and several of the other First Growth Bordeaux. Eric came on as RDV consulting enologist and still works with them today. The RDV story is very compelling and was the first to see a $100 bottle of wine produced in Virginia.HIGHLIGHTS OF THE INTERVIEW: a). Rutger talks about the importance of Jim Law, the owner of Linden Vineyards, for not only inspiring him but to the Virginia Wine Industry.b). You will hear from Josh Grainer, RDV winemaker and Virginia native who has been with RDV since 2008.c). Josh tells a historic and fascinating story about how their Flagship wine, Lost Mountain was named. The story involved George Washington.d). Rutger recants his mission is to not just produce the highest quality Virginia wine, but wine that is equal to the best from anywhere in the World.e).Rutger and Josh share insightful thoughts about terroir in general and how that translate to Virginia.f).Rutger and I discuss the comparisons between when Oregon first broke through and how that relates to Virginia. He answers my question in a way that essentially breaks the code for me about why Virginia hasn't had the National success, as of yet, that Oregon has enjoyed.g). The best way to sum up my Interview is Rutger thinks BIG!You can read the full transcript of the interview at my website www.finewineconfidential.comEnjoy the Episode.

INTERVIEW AND TASTINGInternational wine critic and Masterclass.com Instructor James Suckling has been tasting hundreds of wines from the 2018 Bordeaux vintage and so far it is shaping up to be a powerful yet drinkable and aromatic vintage. He recently tasted three amazing 2018 wines with Edouard Moueix, executive vice president at Etablissements Jean-Pierre Moueix, which is the owner and producer of several prestigious crus, including Chateau La Fleur-Petrus, Chateau Trotanoy, and Chateau Hosanna in Pomerol; Chateau Belair-Monange Premier Grand Cru Classe in Saint-Emilion; and, in Napa Valley, California, Dominus Estate and Ulysses.They tasted the Trotanoy, La Fleur Petrus and Belair Monange, and discussed how much sunlight there was in 2018 and how the tannins in the 2018s are very special. Listen to the podcast to find out why. They also had a candid discussion about Bordeaux's newest vintage, the 2020, which was challenging to say the least.

INTERVIEW AND TASTINGInternational wine critic and Masterclass.com Instructor James Suckling recently had a conversation with Hubert de Boüard, the famous consulting enologist of Bordeaux whose family also owns St.-Emilion's Chateau Angelus. James tasted 100 of his wines from the 2019 vintage in his tasting room in Hong Kong. They were jet-freighted from Bordeaux and they showed very well. James was impressed with the freshness of the wines and fine and linear tannins, and the wines seem at the same quality level as the 2018s, which were excellent.Listen to this podcast to hear what they have to say about the vintage. James was most interested in what Boüard had to say about the style of the 2019 wines and his thoughts on pricing on 2019 Bordeaux futures, which he feels may drop from 30 to 10 percent compared to 2018. James thinks it needs to be more if people are going to be interested in buying futures at this moment. James remembers the financial market crisis in 2008 and some chateaux such as first growths cut their prices in half for the vintage as futures in 2009.

East of St. Emilion, along the north side of the Dordogne River, lies the picturesque wine region of Castillon, named for the Battle of Castillon in 1453 which ended the 100 year war between England and France. The third largest appellation in the Côtes de Bordeaux by volume, Castillon is a red wine region. Merlot comprises 70% of the plantings which thrive in the rich limestone soil. Sommelier Yannick Benjamin sheds some light on this historic appellation and its wines. www.bordeaux-cotes.comThe Connected Table SIPS!

Delia Viader was born in Argentina and came to the U.S. as a student. She holds a doctorate in Philosophy from the Sorbonne University in Paris, France. She pursued advanced business degrees at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of California, Berkeley in the U.S. Delia’s father helped her financially for the initial seven-year investment in her winery. As she fell in love with California when she was a student at Berkeley and was attracted to the wine industry. After founding VIADER in 1986, Delia studied Enology and Viticulture at the University of California, Davis to learn the practical theory behind making fine wine Her first vintage was 1989, when she produced 1,200 cases of wine. Today, Delia has a production total of 7,500 cases under the Viader labels. Delia found that she was decidedly more attracted to Old World wines. She was particularly impressed by the wines of Chateau Cheval Blanc in St. Emilion, from which she based the idea for her first blend, the 1989 VIADER comprising 40 percent Cabernet Franc and 60 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, a combination that is now her signature wine. Always “daring to be different,” Delia decided to bring the Bordeaux style of winemaking and vineyard cultivation to the California hillside by planting the vines in rows going up and down the mountain, following the path of the afternoon sun down the steep slopes of Howell Mountain. At the time, she met strong opposition and criticism for planting her vines in this way, simply because it had never been done before. However, soon after successfully releasing her first vintage, it was clear that her efforts to develop the vineyard were worthwhile. With optimal sun exposure, and unique soil that allows for natural drainage, the vines struggle to survive in the rocky terroir and produce fruit of exceptional quality. In 2002, her son Alan came on board, first to manage the vineyards and later to be the Director of Operations, joining Delia on the winemaking and production team. Her daughter Janet is Director of Marketing and Sales. Delia’s family (she has four children) and fascination with fine wines have been her primary motivations for starting her beautiful winery overlooking the Napa Valley.

Dans le cadre de la commémoration des 1250 ans du Dies Natalis de Saint-Emilion Avec : Marc AGOSTINO, professeur émérite à l’université Bordeaux Montaigne En partenariat avec le Conseil Interprofessionnel du Vin de Bordeaux. La vie de Saint Emilion Son nom est prestigieux, spécifique car il y a beaucoup d'Emilian, et il symbolise le grand vin issu de Saint Emilion et de villages lui faisant une couronne. Aujourd'hui le vin semble éclipser le saint qui lui donne son nom car, au fond, on le connait mal. Emilion a vécu la période des grands saints et ermites du VIIIème-IXème siècle, laissant souvent peu de document. Son histoire est connue par la tradition, pour certains la légende, qui est mise par écrit en deux "VIES" très postérieures. Il est aussi connu par ceux qui fondent une abbaye à partir de la fameuse église monolithe qui semble avoir été la grotte du saint moine, avec une inscription très discutée, et source de miracles. Les documents suscitent un vif débat aux XIXème et XXème siècles sur l'existence même du saint. Il s'agirait de récits arrangés mais d'autres auteurs défendent l'authenticité de la tradition. Il faut utiliser les méthodes de l'hagiographie, mettre la lecture des textes en situation dans l'époque. Ils peuvent prouver son existence et tirer les traits essentiels de sa vie, donner un sens aux miracles. Fêté le 15 novembre dans l'Eglise, Emilion se voit dédier une messe et un office à Bordeaux. Un peu oublié, remis à l'honneur par le cardinal Donnet, Emilion fait partie des saints girondins. Il donne son patronage à un vin d'exception, au nom connu au long des siècles, protégé par de précises appellations avec le nom du saint moine depuis 1199 jusqu’à nos jours… La conférence sera suivie d’une dégustation d’un verre de vin de Saint-Emilion.

Christian Moueix is the president of Etablissements Jean-Pierre Moueix, based on the Right Bank of Bordeaux, France. He oversees several properties in Pomerol and Saint-Emilion, including Chateau La Fleur-Petrus, Chateau Trotanoy, and Chateau Hosanna. Christian is also the owner of the Dominus Estate and Ulysses wineries in the Napa Valley of California. Christian opens up about his family life and career in this interview, touching on the post-war era of Pomerol, through the 1980s in Napa Valley - which turned out to be a fulcrum period of change for that region - and up through his recent business dealings and purchases in both California and Bordeaux. Fans of Chateau Petrus will find plenty of insight from Christian about that wine in this interview, as he discusses his forty years overseeing the property. Those curious about wineries that he owns today will also find plenty of detail, as well as many amazing anecdotes.

Jane Anson is the Bordeaux correspondent for "Decanter" magazine.
