Part Five Wine Regions and Appellations Wine is produced in various regions around the world, each with its own unique climate, soil, and grape varieties. Appellations are specific geographical areas within a wine region that produce wines with distinctive characteristics. Some famous wine regions include: Bordeaux, France: Known for its high-quality red and white wines, including Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc. Tuscany, Italy: Home to Chianti and Brunello di Montalcino, renowned red wines made from Sangiovese grapes. Napa Valley, California: A world-class wine region producing Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, and Merlot. Barossa Valley, Australia: Famous for Shiraz-based red wines with bold flavors.

Smallest wine region in France the Jura About a 7.5-hour drive from Utrecht we find the smallest wine region in France, the Jura. One that is often skipped, partly because it is literally in the shadow of Burgundy. The Jura Mountains are wedged between Burgundy and the Swiss border and are named after the Mesozoic period. The wine-growing zone is located on the first hills of the Jura. Not surprisingly, the wines show some similarity to Burgundy, but also to Swiss wines. But there are also distinctive wines. Think of the vin jaune, vin de paille or Macvin de Jura. Guyot pruning The Guyot pruning method gives a relatively low yield but the quality of the grapes is great. Although the result of this pruning is good, the method is relatively easy. Wine regions Roughly speaking, the Jura, the smallest wine region in France, can be divided into one region and three sub-appellations. But it also has three product appellations. It has only 2,000ha of wine growing area. https://lnkd.in/estdEuwa

French wines have surged by an impressive 120% over a decade!🇫🇷 This week, we shared the story on the importance of terroir on fine wine quality; therefore, there is no need to look further than French wines, where terroir is believed to impart distinct characteristics to wines, resulting in the concept of a “sense of place” in wine. From Bordeaux’s iconic vineyards to Champagne’s prestigious estates, French wines carry a legacy that has left an indelible mark on the wine world. According to the Live-ex Fine Wine 1000 index, we observed a 120% surge ⬆ in French wines’ value over the last ten years. Today, we spotlight two exceptional gems from our portfolio: 🍷 Château Lafite Rothschild 2019 - a sip of this wine reveals layers of sweet tobacco and dark mushrooms, culminating in a harmonious finish. With perfect scores from Robert Parker and Wine Spectator 100/100, it promises to age beautifully for decades. It is a true, timeless treasure! 🍷 Château Duhart Milon 2016 is crafted from Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot; this 4ème Grand Cru Classé boasts an aromatic bouquet of blackcurrant, blueberry, and hints of tobacco.

The Bordeaux wine region in the Medoc area is renowned for producing world-class wines with exceptional quality and distinct characteristics. A typical Bordeaux wine from Medoc often embodies a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot grapes. These wines are known for their deep ruby color, complex aromas of blackcurrant, dark berries, cedar, and hints of tobacco and leather. On the palate, Medoc wines are rich and full-bodied, with well-structured tannins, balanced acidity, and a long, elegant finish. The terroir of the Medoc, with its gravelly soil, maritime climate, and proximity to the Gironde estuary, plays a significant role in shaping the unique flavor profile of these wines. They often exhibit a sense of minerality, earthiness, and a subtle hint of spice, making them ideal for aging and developing complex flavors over time. Overall, a typical Bordeaux wine from the Medoc area is a sophisticated and refined expression of the region's winemaking tradition, offering a harmonious balance of fruit, tannins, and terroir-drive nuances.

Judgement of London announced this week, in honour of Steve Spurrier's historic Judgement of Paris blind tasting in 1976, putting new world wine from California, on the map. Back then, French wine experts blind tasted the best red wines from Bordeaux alongside leading Cabernet Sauvignon from California, and the top white wines from Burgundy alongside Chardonnay from the Golden State. Napa winery Stag’s Leap earned the highest score in the red wine tasting, while California’s Chateau Montelena came out on top in the white wine tasting. The results sent shockwaves through the wine world and helped to establish California as a serious player in the fine wine market. To date our investors have enjoyed strong returns on our investment grade Napa offerings, like Screaming Eagle, Scarecrow, Opus One, Harlan Estate... all following Bordeaux blends and some joining forces with icons like Mouton Rothschild. The London tasting will follow a slightly different format, as it pits specific wines against one another. The results of the Judgement of London will be revealed on Tuesday 21st May. The judges will blind taste 16 iconic European wines alongside their non-European equivalents to determine whether they deserve their exalted status. Watch this space for the results, especially as we are focused in Bordeaux' latest En Primeur campaign, the 2023 vintage having been well received by the critics.
