Welcome to the
BKWine Brief nr 67, February 2009 |
|
French folies
”Ils sont foux les romains” is what Asterix and Obelix says about the
old romans. It may now seem more apt to say “ils sont foux les français”.
They are about to vote on a law proposal that may lead to that
restaurants cannot serve all-included menus, including wine. Or that you
cannot organise wine shows where the visitors are served samples after
paying a simple entrance fee. Or that wine producers cannot serve
tasting samples at his winery without charging by the glass. (What about
barrel samples?)
There’s an anti-wine lobby in France that is surprisingly strong and
this is only latest folie. Wine production is a major agricultural
industry and wine is one of the more important exports from France, so
one would have thought that it would be more positively treated. But
that is not the case. Many wine producers are today more in great need
of support, rather than hindrance. In particular on the marketing side
there are lots of things that could be done to improve the situation.
That’s not an area that the French and wine producer in particular, are
good at. But the French government is actually more inclined to help the
wine producers outside of the country rather than inside. They have for
example the Sopexa international marketing support organisation (albeit
not particularly effective when it comes to wine). Read more about the
recent developments further down in the Brief.
Swedish folies
We just read that the Systembolaget (Swedish alcohol retail monopoly)
has plans to implement on-line shopping towards the end of 2009. That
is, of course, great for people living in Sweden. Only … why has it not
been done long ago? Can you imagine a major and dominant retailing
business that has not since long started offering its customers on-line
shopping. Retail is a monopoly in Sweden, but import of wine is not.
There is a thriving industry of independent importers, but they all have
to sell to consumers through the monopoly. Curiously, many of these
independent importers have created small web applications that allows
consumers to place an order on-line, that is then forwarded
automatically by the system, e.g. by fax, to the Systembolaget… Since
the Systembolaget didn’t do anything the importers, with minimal
resources, did it themselves. There are also a few on-line wine shops
that sell direct to consumers and even deliver the wines directly to the
door. That’s possible thanks to an EU regulation that has forced Sweden
to accept that individuals are allowed to privately buy from e-shops
located in other EU countries. So a few enterprising Swedes have opened
an eshop based in Denmark or Germany and are selling direct to consumers
in Sweden. And providing home deliver. Home delivery is not part of the
Systembolaget plans, as we understand it. That’s the joys of a monopoly.
Wonderful customer service.
France and Sweden are not the only oddball countries of course. Take
England: if you are serving wine by the glass you are not allowed serve
it in whatever quantity you like. The wine glass must have a certain
measure. Small tasting samples? No, no.
Or the USA, the beacon of the free market (one would have thought): due
to archaic rules and regulations (partisan corporative self interests
and pork?) the wine trade is strictly controlled and it is virtually
impossible to sell to a consumer from one state to another. The big e-tailer
Wine.com recently pulled out of, was it Michigan (?), for this reason.
Admittedly, these rules seem to be loosening up a little. A little. Or
take the wine shop (in New York?) that was recently fined ($10 000?)
because it provided a nice gift bag to carry the bottle in. And you even
have some states with almost a monopoly situation. Just like in Sweden.
You wouldn’t have thought the Americans to be such Socialists would you?
I promise…
It is perhaps too late with New Year’s vows but it can anyway be a good
time now in winter to think about how to improve one’s wine year 2009.
Here are a few suggestions for vinous vows for 2009:
1. Buy six different bottle in stead of six of the same. In some
“buying advice” you read that you should always by a case of 6 or 12 to
see how the wine develops with age. But it can be even more fun to
discover a new wine instead. And anyway, how many of us have the
possibility really to lay down wine? In our own wine cellar there are
very few wines that we have more than a single or at most a few bottles
of. And then we do have a cellar with more bottles than most.
2. Spend a couple of extra euros/dollars on the bottle, at least
for the ones for the weekend dinners. It’s not more than the price of a
latte/pint/hot dog but it will give you a faaar better wine experience.
3. Don’t choose the house wine in a restaurant. Select something
else. It doesn’t have to be expensive but at least you know what it is.
If you insist on taking the House Wine, at least ask what it is first.
And if the answer comes back as “oh, I think it’s some nice and fruity
red”, then I know what I’d choose.
4. At least once (or twice) a month choose a wine that comes from a
district that you’re not very familiar with. Pick a Vouvray, or a
wine from Austria, Alto Adige, Jura, Uruguay or something else that is
not BBC (*).
5. Choose a wine that is not on recommendation from an ”expert”.
There’s nothing wrong with good advice but taste is so different.
“Recommended producer” by BKWine, 90/100 from Robert Parker, five stars
in Decanter… all depends on personal preferences. Don’t look at
someone’s recommendation and then apply rule #4. (You can’t image how
often we’re not d’accord with each other or with some ”expert” on
a wine.) Why not occasionally pick a wine because it has a pretty
label?...
6. Discover a new wine region in situ. This is of course our
final and best suggestion. Look at our travel program below…

Custom wine
tours
 We
also make custom designed wine tours – on-demand tours for you and a group
of friends, for your company (maybe to scout new winegrowers?), for a
special event… We can combine winery visits and wine touring with other
activities: gastronomic workshops, visit to an oyster farm, truffles
hunting, cheese making, and more. We’ve done tours for wine clubs, for
sommelier educations, for corporate events, for wine importers, for wine
course study groups… just to mention a few.
You'll get a tour designed exactly according to your requirements and
tastes, made by one of the most experienced wine people in the business. We
personally visit some 200 wineries and taste thousands of wines every year;
we write on wine for various wine magazines (we had more than 30 articles
published last year); in 2007 we published a ground breaking book on the
wine of the Languedoc and this year we have another one coming. And we have
organised hundreds of wine tours over the years. More info on the BKWine wine tours here!

□
Producers
Champagne Philippe Gamet, Mardeuil
 A
family property that is run by the husband-wife couple Fabienne and Philippe
Gamet. They have 8.6 hectares of vines around Epernay. Brut Séléction can be
had for 12.50€ at the winery. It is made from pinot meunier and pinot noir.
They only use the cuvee (the first pressing) for the wine. It is mouth
filling with lots of flavours, aromas of citrus and apple and with a
youthful style. Very good value. Cuvée 5000 has had a bit more aging before
being recorked (dégorgement) and has a classic style of toast and flowers.
Millésimé 2004 has very good concentration and body with aromas of
grapefruit and an excellent acidity.
Click here for address and more recommendations.
Domaine Giraud,
Châteauneuf-du-Pape
 Sister
and brother couple Marie and François Giraud took over this property from
their father ten years ago and have today 19 hectares. They have great
respect for the appellation and the terroir but have also introduced some
modern ideas in the wine making. Destemming, for example, which was not
systematically done before. Marie says that the stems (la rafle) give the
wine a green taste and harsh tannins. Chateauneuf-du-Pape Les Gallimardes
2006, with a bouquet of fresh fruit, liquorice, black olives and tapenade,
with an intense yet soft mouth feel. A modern-style chateauneuf with lots of
fruit and concentration and a very clean style. (Watch our video interview
with Marie, in their wine cellar, on BKWine TV.)

□ Wine
Bars and Restaurants
Paris:
Les Bacchantes – Restaurant
– Bistro à Vins, Paris 9
 Just
off Boulevard de la Madeleine and next to the Olympia theatre you find this
small restaurant. When you step inside it feels as if it has been there for
many years. Probably it has. The staff is very welcoming and even if it’s
your first time there they make you feel as if you are just coming back to
your stam tisch. Many guests come here before going to the theatre so
it is very crowded already well before 8PM, which is indeed unusual in
Paris. Food is traditional French bistro fare. You can have an andouillette,
if you have a penchant for this strong-smelling offal sausage, but
fortunately there are many other delicious things to choose from, for
example a classic côte de boeuf (a “beef chop” grilled whole and served for
two, sliced up – delicious for the carnivorous) or a superb lamb. Several
other French classics are on the list too. Try the charcuteries for an entre.
If you’re two (or maybe three) it’s perfect to share. And they have
delicious cheese too (which is not always the case in restaurants). The wine
list is not extensive but well chosen. Try a Cornas from the Durand brothers
for 39€ or perhaps a less expensive St Joseph. If you want white, try the
absolutely delicious Jurançon from Domaine Hours, full-bodied with lots of
taste. And very rare to find in a restaurant.

□ Wine
of
the Month
Criteria: an interesting wine
(not too cheap) and one that you can enjoy with dinner or friends (not too
expensive). And very good!
Chateau de Rochemorin,
Bordeaux
 Dry
white Bordeaux are terribly underrated so this month I've selected the
Chateau de Rochemorin (12-16 euro). A white Bordeaux that is very good
value. It has a very good balance with a touch (but not too much) of
barrique ageing, fresh acidity and delicious citrus aromas, primarily lime.
It is bone dry and very aromatic and will go excellently with both cheese,
meat and fish. Anything from the classic combination with a chevre goat
cheese to lighter meat dishes, or the more powerful fish dishes perhaps with
a creamy sauce. In the shadow of stars like Haut-Brion and Domaine de
Chevalier this wine gives you an affordable version of the same thing, but
lighter of course. PS: If you keep it a few years it will get even better!

News from the Wine World |
Natural wines
in Italy
VinNatur is an association of Italian wine producers who make ”natural”
wines. They organise a wine show and some tastings with several producers of
“natural” wines: VinNatur, April 5-6 in Vicenza.

New CEO for Systembolaget, the Swedish monopoly
 The
Swedish government has appointed the successor to Anitra Steen, CEO of
Systembolaget AB, the Swedish alcohol retail monopoly. The future CEO is
Magdalena Gerger, currently Vice President at Arla Foods with a career
history including Nestlé, Procter & Gamble, Diageo, Tampax. According to
some press info she has also during a part of her career been responsible
for a whisky product range. Before joining her present employer, Arla, she
ran her own management consulting company about which we have not found much
information (apart from the curious fact that the company some time ago
advertised for a part time child care person). Gerger also has some previous
experience from operating a monopoly since she was member of the board of
Svenska Spel (Swedish Gambling) ’04-’06 which is also a government run
monopoly. It is definitely a big step forward to appoint someone who has
experience of running a business and not solely selected on political party
membership and creed (the retiring CEO is married to the ex-Prime Minister
of Sweden). Perhaps it is surprising that they did not choose someone with
more retailing experience though. It will be interesting to see what
happens.

Looking good for armagnac
 Sales
of armagnac grew with 18 % within France and 10.8% (in value) on the export
market over the period from January to October 2008. This compares to the
total spirits market in France that fell by 4.5% over the same period.
Armagnac is a spirit that comes from the south-west of France, from Gascony.
It is often compared to cognac; both are made from distilling wine, but
contrary to cognac armagnac is often bottled with a specific vintage and
producer on the label.
BKWine TV: Domaine Giraud,
Châteauneuf-du-Pape
Domaine
Giraud in Châteauneuf is both modern and traditional. It was founded some
fifty years ago and has been relatively old-fashioned producer. But a few
years ago the young brother-sister pair François and Marie Giraud took over
the property and has turned it into one of the very exciting producer in the
region. In a way they make very modern style wines with a lot of fruit focus
and extraction, but they strongly underline that what they do is very much
based on Chateauneuf traditions. Watch our video
interview with Marie in their Chateauneuf winery on BKWine TV.
BKWine TV: Domaine la Tour
des Videaux, Provence
 You
probably think of rosé wine if we say Provence. More than four fifths of all
Provence wine is rosé. Unfortunately. They can make such excellent reds and
even whites, if only they try. That’s also what the winemaker Paul Weindel
says. He owns the property Domaine la Tour des Videaux not far from Toulon
in Provence. His passion is red wines, preferably with a fair portion of
syrah and fruit focussed rather than oak aged. Watch our
interview with the winemaker Weindel in his vineyard on BKWine TV.
Kosher wine
 Sometimes
when we’re visiting wine producers we se a few barrels or a tank wrapped in
tape with mysterious symbols on. On closer inspection it turns out to be
Hebrew. We’re then at a producer who sets aside part of his production to
make a kosher (casher) wine. Now there’s even a company specialising in
making batches of kosher wines at famous producers’. The company is called
IDS Wine and makes kosher versions of e.g. Chateau Valandraud, Smith Haut
Lafitte, Lafon Rochet, Rauzan Gassies, Labegorce Zédé, Rolland de By etc.

The travails of Fenouillèdes
 Not
many people know of Fenouillèdes. Unfortunately. It is a small wine region
in southern France, in Roussillon close to the Spanish border. There are
several very interesting producers in the area, but it is small, remote,
unknown and impossible to pronounce… (Well, actually not, say: feno-yed.)
But they are making valiant efforts to become better known. One of the more
original initiatives is the emails they send out once in a while promoting
the area as the ideal spot for foreign investors who want to become
winemakers (“vineyard land for less than 10 000 euro/ha”). In the latest
mail we can also read about Robert Parker scoring some of the wines between
95 and 100 and that you can find old vine grenache wines for export for as
little as 2 euro. We actually do think it’s great that people try and
promote their wine regions in a bit of an original fashion. And on top of it
some of the wines from Fenouillèdes are actually excellent, well worth
drinking! More info:
www.fenouilledes-selection.com
New labelling for organic
wine
 On
January 1 the EU approved a proposal for organic agriculture and organic
products. The most visible result will be a common labelling of organic
products. The regulations also include definitions of the methods of organic
agriculture (Fr. agriculture biologique) and production. More info
www.frenchwinesbulletin.co.uk
EU pondering what organic
wine really means
Strictly speaking, there is no organic wine today. Instead, we have “wine
produced from organically grown grapes”. This is because it is not defined
what “organic” means in the winery, only what it means in the field. There
is an ongoing EU research project, called ORWINE, that aims to define what
organic winemaking should mean – what processes can be used, what substances
can be added etc. The project recently organised a conference in Siena where
BKWines reporter in Italy participated. It is clear that there is a long way
to go since the perspectives are very different in different countries. But
if all goes well it will not be too long before we have really organic
wines.
Lucian Freud illustrates the
new vintage Mouton-Rothschild
  Lucian
Freud is a British artist who can boast to be the painter with the price
record for paintings by living artists. He is also grandson to Sigmund
Freud. A drawing by Freud will adorn the new edition of Chateau
Mouton-Rothschild when the 2006 vintage is released. The illustration is on
the same theme that he used for a painting he did in 1943 called The
Painter’s Room, with a zebra and a palm tree.
Discover the wines from the
southwest
On April 8 and 9 you can visit the wine and food show Sud-Ouest Découverte
in Toulouse. It is a meeting place primarily for buyers and importers who
look for interesting products, both wines and other gastronomic products,
from the French Sud-Ouest. 8 & 9 April, Espace Diagora-Technopole, Toulouse.

Manjari chocolate on
Brittany sablé with black figs – gold medal winner
 That
delicious sounding desert was the winner in the Roussillon Dessert Trophy,
served together with AOC Rivesaltes Domaine Gauby Caricia 2005. The winning
entry was created by Thibaut Panas and Anne Coquellin from Le Manoir Aux
Quat’Saison in England. They beat teams from e.g. Belgium, Germany, France
and Denmark. The competition wants to promote successful combinations of
dessert with sweet and fortified wines (primarily from the Roussillon, of
course). The winning chocolate cracker certainly sounds delicious. (photo:

Vinordic 2010
The next edition of the big Scandinavian wine and food fair Vinordic /
Gastronord will take place in Stockholm on April 20-23, 2010.
This month’s marketing
gimmick: the cat in the egg
 We
recently discovered a wine from Côtes du Ventoux (recently renamed AOC
Ventoux) called Chat-en-Oeuf, which obviously is a lame attempt to bask in
the glory of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. A few years ago there was a big row over a
South African wine producer making Goats do Roam and Goat Roti (Côtes du
Rhône and Côte Rôtie, of course). French authorities protested and tried to
stop the wines from coming to Europe. So, now it is a French producer who
tries the same cheap trick. What will the authorities do now? Can one assume
that the wine is lacking as much in individuality and own identity as the
name indicates?
France – the country of
ridicule in the wine world?
Serve no wine please. We’re French.
France is to many the cradle of wine and the world’s biggest wine producer
(tying with Italy). Wine is also a major export product for the country. Not
to mention the cultural heritage of wine and gastronomy. But how strange is
it not then what goes on inside the country. The latest item of bemusement
and ridicule is a proposal for a new law. Its initial purpose was to stop
open-bars-evenings for students, fixed-fee events where youngster could (and
would) drink as much as possible in as short a time as possible. The
unfortunate thing is that the law has been written in so sweeping language
that it will potentially make illegal all serving of wine at a fixed fee or
free sampling. This would make illegal, for instance, serving wine tasting
samples at wine shows or agricultural shows, serving wine at municipality
gatherings, serving wine as part of a fixed-price all-inclusive menu in
restaurants, serving wine samples to visitors at wineries…
Wine? Hush, don’t mention it. We’re French.
Since quite some time the French anti-wine lobby, spear headed by the
state financed ANPAA (~70M€ budget), supported by the ironically named Loi
Evin (Loi Pas de Vin?), has persecuted various forms of advertising and
editorial content. It is of course illegal today in France to advertise for
wine and show a happy couple or an attractive woman (and we’re not talking
any lewd illustrations) on the picture. Unless it is a wine grower. Even
more astonishing, the ANPA has also taken editorial articles on wine to
court and had them condemned to pay a fine. The court considered the article
to be equivalent to promotion and decided that it should have carried a
warning text.
Wine on the internet? We’re French, we'll do like China: censorship of
the internet.
 In
the same vein it is probable (the legal situation is not entirely clear)
that it will be considered illegal to communicate about alcoholic beverages
(wine, beer, spirits) on the internet. In consequence, French wine producers
will have to take down their internet sites or risk being taken to court and
fined. Or implement sophisticated filtering of visitors. We recently tried
to visit the site of Champagne Perrier-Jouet. To access it you have to
select the country you are in. We’re in France so we selected that. Et voilà:
“You are not allowed to access this site due to the current regulation in
France. EXIT.”
Do you read Asterix & Obelix? If you do you know what we mean: “Ils sont
foux les français.”
Take the WSET diploma in
Paris
Why not come to Paris to take the WSET diploma (Wine & Spirits Education
Trust), Intermediate level. It’s the Ecole du Vin who organises a three day
intensive course on March 16-18. They promise more than 50 wines at the
tastings. More info:
www.professionnel.ecole-du-vin.fr (No, we’re not one of the
lecturers on the program, but I’m sure we can organise an additional evening
class if you come here…)
”Hooray, sales are going
down”, says champagne
 Sales
of champagne fell by 5% in 2008. “The fall is a good thing: our purpose was
to decrease sales by 2% at the start of 2008. Hopefully grape growers can
stop increasing their prices and Champagne pricing will be more stable”
Ghislain de Mongolfier, co-president of CIVC, the powerful champagne house
organisation, according to Decanter.com. Thanks to price increases it is
expected that the value of the sales will remain unchanged for 2008 in spite
of the volume decline. Is this not a touch too much of a rosy
after-construction, or “embarrass de richesse”?
Decanter.com
Australian wine course
Wine Australia, a government financed promotional organisation, has launched
a new web site that includes a very ambitious wine course. It contains
thirty modules where you can learn (not quite) all about grape varieties,
wine making, regions etc. With a focus on Australia of course. Here’s the
course:

Famous Languedoc winery sold
to a Russian
 Prieuré
Saint Jean de Bébian is one of the most famous wine estates in the Languedoc
and one of the first to be recognised as a quality wine producer. The wine
guru Robert Parker has called it one of the greatest wines in Languedoc, but
one has to admit that Parker is perhaps not very up-to-date on the Languedoc
of today. The Prieuré St Jean de B has bee sold to a Russian investor (oligark?)
via a company called Sinara (that according to some sources is Swiss and to
others is Russian). Perhaps we can hope for renewed investments in the
Prieuré that in recent years seems to have mostly coasted along.
Vitisphere.com
Biggest wine importers in
Sweden
 It’s
only a partial truth since the state owned monopoly retailing chain
Systembolaget AB only accounts for 50% of sales of alcohol in Sweden (yes,
actually true), but this is the top list of their wine suppliers in 2008,
with their respective market shares.
1. V&S Vin & Sprit Group, 20%
2. Fondberg, 7.6 %
3. Oenoforos, 5.9 %
4. Bibendum, 4.5 %
5. Hjo Grosshandel, 3.9 %
6. Vinunic, 3.7 %
7. Enjoy Wine & Spirits, 3.5 %
8. Pernod Ricard, 3.4 %
9. Giertz Vinimport, 3.4 %
10. Tegnér Hermansson, 3.2 %
11. Other, 40.7 %
In 2009 Pernod Ricard will move into first place, having bought V&S Vin &
Sprit.
Best selling countries in
Sweden
This is the top list of wine origins, from the sales statistics from the
Swedish government owned monopoly retailer Systembolaget. The stats concern
wine :
1. South Africa, 16.6% market share (change: +10.7 %)
2. Italy, 16.3 % (+10.9 %)
3. Australia, 15.5 % (-1.9 %)
4. Spain, 13.7 % (-1.7 %)
5. France, 9.4 % (+1 %)
6. Chile, 7.1 % (+3.8 %)
7. USA, 4.8% (-0.7 %)
8. Germany, 4.6 % (-0.2 %)
9. Argentina, 3.4 % (+41.8 %)
10. Hungary, 3.1 % (-5.1 %)
91 % of all wine cost less
than 9 euro
 Or
to be precise: 91 % of all wine sold in Sweden through the government owned
monopolist Systembolaget (having a 50 % market share!) cost less than 9.32
euro (less than 100 kr; 1 krona = 0.932 euro). Here are the ranges:
-39 kr: 0.1 %
40-49 kr: 5.1 %
50-59 kr: 24.1 %
60-69 kr: 26.7 %
70-79 kr: 17.6 %
80-89 kr: 10.5 %
90-99 kr: 6.8 %
100 kr - : 9.1 %
