Letters from the Editors Slow down and have a sip 停一停，飲一飲 Urban life is always in fast pace, and you will never have time to slow down because you can never stop working or entertaining. Have you ever spent time to think of your past, present and future? I like to escape from the city, from any worry during weekends to slow down and get inspired. The best way is to open a nice bottle to share with friends. My work is always related to wine, and I sometimes feel sad that I could only appreciate many of them in a short period of time. In some cases I need to taste tens of wines in even shorter time. I feel sorry for these wines being tasted which cannot show their best to me. So whenever I taste a wine off work, I will spend as long as I can to see how it will evolve. I enjoy that much and then one of my friends asks me why his bottles taste the best when he is about to finish it? I told him that you should treat her better and she will show you the best. It is not only the people that forget how to appreciate wine, but some wine is turning into a beverage with additives like coming from factories. I hope everyone could slow down to appreciate any bottle. You will discover more than what you might expect. 現代城市人步伐急促，沒有安靜下來的時間，不是忙工作，便是忙著玩樂。有幾多時間能安靜下來，想想自己的過去、現在、將來呢？我喜歡到遠離市區的地方 渡過週末，遠離塵囂、忘卻煩惱，讓自己慢下來，感受一下周圍的情操。這時候最好跟三五知己，開一瓶葡萄酒，讓時間將她洗滌，再慢慢享受她的年華，感受 她的嫵媚。平常工作雖然離不開葡萄酒，但多少次不是來去匆匆，未及讓她們展現出最美的一面，便是面對著萬千佳麗，只能走馬看花只望了一眼便要把她送 走，品嚐時間不是太短，便是要在更短的時間內品評數十款酒釀。回想起實在覺得有點對不起 她們。因此每當有機會再次在工作以外的時間喝酒，總會好好欣賞，讓她們有充 足的時間去表現葡萄酒的千變幻化，這也是葡萄酒的樂趣之一。不少朋友經常 跟我訴苦，為什麼最後一小口的酒會那麼可口。我只能說你沒有給她時間，給 她空間，去達到她最美的一面。可能大家都在都市被快餐文化渲染，忘了要閒 逸地去享受葡萄酒所帶來的樂趣。其實不單是喝酒的人，酒本身也被這樣的速 食主義所影響，加快的成熟，加色加味加酸，跟工廠的飲料沒有兩樣。希望 大家能停下來，慢慢品嚐那杯中的滋味，你將會發現更多，在酒釀中找到生 活。

Mongolian Spirits 蒙古的酒精
Joe Lo Feature Editor joe@cru-magazine.com
During last months issue I mentioned the fascinating culture of drinking baijiu in Inner Mongolia, which is as tied together as the cuisine as to the national culture. Mongolia liquor is 30-60% in strength, and Mongolians start with their toasts early in the day, and every meals. Probably before the day has ended they will already be drunk unconscious! So to prevent getting drunk so quickly, I heard that the fat from milk products are good at lining the stomach and reducing the amount of alcohol that enters the bloodstream. So during a tiny gap in the non-stop toasts that were raised during my trip, I stuffed myself with a combination of fatty foods, and sure enough at the end of a long dinner, out of my five friends, two were down, one was halfway there, but me and the other person who followed the fatty diet survived. Throughout this alcoholic journey, the homemade yoghurt liquor of the Mongolian herders became my favorite, and I had one glass every morning to sober up. Of course, the best way to prevent being drunk is not to drink too much at all! 上期提到的蒙古之旅中，每一頓豐富的菜餚中都必定會配以酒精度起碼30%-60%的蒙古白酒，不甚習慣如蒙古人般那一乾而盡 的豪氣的話，被一整桌的人熱烈敬酒後，恐怕不到半句鐘已經醉得不醒人事了。
突然遇到這些盛情難卻的情況，便要立即做好防範工夫以防醉酒，筆者曾聽說過奶類、油脂都是不錯的預防醉酒食物，原理就 是它們都能夠形成一層保護膜在胃壁，減少酒精進入血液中。於是，在不停乾杯的空檔期間，我將所有胃部的空間都裝滿所有 極盡肥膩的食物，一整片羊脂涮兩涮便沾上厚厚一層麻醬放進口，果然，一整晚下來，我們五個人中有兩個倒了、一個半醉， 剩下仍然清醒的兩個就只有我和另一位狂吃羊脂的友人。在整個「酒精之旅」中，蒙古牧民自家製的酸奶更成為了我的至愛， 在喝多了的每天清早，一杯「回魂酸奶」絕對是不可或缺的恩物。當然，最好的方法還是別喝多 ！
Not Pining for Retsina 松樹脂的味道
Ian Wong Assistant Editor ian@cru-magazine.com
When tasting wines I always try to keep an open mind about different styles and varietals from countries all around the world—as long as they are unique and true to their terroir. I may not like all sherry by itself, but nothing really matches Spanish tapas as well as a great Fino. Vin de Jaune from Jura also isn’t something I would drink everyday, but with a cheese like Comté or even with Chinese Hairy Crab, the oxidative nature of the wine makes the food really extraordinary. Despite this, I’m conflicted about a Retsina wine, which we tasted this month in our panel tasting. Retsina is a Greek white or rose wine that is made in amphora, and then sealed with pine resin, giving it a very distinctive flavour. The Greeks have made it for over 2000 years, so it has a historical place on the Greek dining table...but personally I’m sticking with the delicious white grape Assyritiko. 品酒的時候我一向都會對來自世界各國的不同風格保持開放的態度，因為這些都是反映當地terroir的見證。我不是一個雪莉酒 迷，但若要配上西班牙tapas的話，一瓶優質的Fino最能匹配。Jura地區的黃酒Vin de Jaune也絕非本人日常酒單中的常客，但 它那獨特的氧化味卻能令某些食物如Comté芝士或大閘蟹的味道提升不少。儘管這樣，我對剛剛的Panel Tasting中有款Retsina 酒釀仍然有點保留。Retsina是希臘以amphora釀製的白酒或玫瑰酒，然後封存在松樹樹脂中，帶來相當獨特的味道。希臘人已 經釀造這些酒超過二千年，所以在希臘的飲食文化中具有相當歷史的…但我會繼續支持美味的Assyritiko。

Synchro Synchro is the synchronized alternative pen-name of a well-known local published writer. The use of this name is, not unlike Les Forts is to Latour and Carruades to Lafite, to cultivate younger vines for a fresher approach to produce an output specifically of subjective reviews of hotels, cruise ships, food, and wine, in different new-found terriors. Thus Synchro is unemployed of his own choice, and travels the world with all his disposable time, and his travel stories are to be read here.

om Pérignon vintage Champagne is always the best representation of the brand, as in order to produce a blockbuster Champagne, the wine is only made in exceptional years. Following a great deal of weather change in 2003, the region in 2004 had only what one could say to be favourable weather, with fruit from 17 vineyards ripening and growing fairly smoothly, with a restrained and elegant complexity. There is great tension and length in this wine, with aromas of almonds, white flowers, dried fruit, and nice baked bread aroma. On the palate it is rich and delicate, with a very creamy texture and a vibrant spiciness.
Dom Pérignon 作為年份香檳的優秀代表品牌， 為了釀造出獨一無二的出眾酒款，只會於出色 的年份才會釀製一鳴驚人的香檳。繼富有變化 的 2003 年後， 2004 年的香檳區可謂風調雨順， 來自17個葡萄園的果實無論是生長期和成熟期 都進行得相當順利，釀成內斂而優雅、深沉而 具張力、綿長濃郁的香檳。它的香氣沉厚，有 著杏仁、白色水果、乾花和烘焙香味，豐富而 細膩；口感濃郁富質感，而且充滿活力、辛香 醇厚。

WHISK - The New Enlightened Wine Destination 最新葡萄酒好地方
I
n Hong Kong, the most pressing problem for discerning diners has never been about merely finding a place to eat and drink well, but rather about finding a place to eat well and drink well affordably.
Traditional Chinese restaurants have always been extremely reasonable for BYOB, but what about those times when it is a special celebration, or when friends simply want European cuisine? Good luck. The extremely high corkage fee that is imposed in most high-end dining restaurants prohibits a progressive BYOB culture, forcing many wine lovers to either fork up a huge mark-up for entry level wines, or dine without any wine at all (which hardly constitutes a good dinner party)! But in what we hope is the first bold step for the fine-dining restaurants of Hong Kong, WHISK, a Michelin-recommended European restaurant in The Mira Hong
Cru Corner_ALL file.indd 3
Kong Hotel, has introduced a new wine concept that highlights the restaurant as a destination for real wine lovers. What this means is that aside from having perfectly mature classics like Salon Le Mesnil 1997 or Domaine Leflaive Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru ‘Les Combettes’ 2005, the prices are incredibly close to retail price. The Salon is sold in other hotel restaurants for $5390, and is available in WHISK for $2176. The Leflaive likewise usually goes for $4890, but sells for $1398 at WHISK, proving just how insane wine mark ups in other restaurants has been recently. And for wines at more casual prices, one really cannot do better than $561 for Klein Constantia ‘Vin de Constance’ 2005 from South Africa, which is one of the great sweet wines of the world—and which costs $950 at comparable restaurants. We could go on and on, and assuredly there are wines at lower prices that will please every kind of diner. It is
ridiculous that many consumers have accepted that $400 will only get them a mediocre wine in Hong Kong, when in fact they can easily have something quite extraordinary at WHISK. So for that next romantic date out or reunion with old friends, put your faith in the 200+ wine list at the restaurant, and try something you wouldn’t previously have dared to. 在香港，對出外用膳的人來 說，要找一間好的餐廳不難， 但要找一間食物和酒都同樣高 質素的餐廳，而且物有所值的 話就絕對不是一件易事。 一般中式餐館來說都是自攜酒 水的好去處，但敞若遇著甚麼 特別紀念日或者很想吃一頓西 餐的日子怎辦？祝你好運了， 高級餐廳那高昂的開瓶費正正 就是為了杜絕自攜酒水的客人 而生的，迫使許多愛酒之人到 餐廳用餐時，只好叫一瓶價高 得離譜的入門酒，又或者索性 不喝酒了（實在令一頓晚餐失 色不少）！
在香港高級餐廳中踏出大膽一 步的，是位於The Mira Hong Kong酒店的米芝蓮推介歐陸菜 餐廳WHISK，創立了一套相當 獨特的餐廳葡萄酒制度，為愛 酒客帶來一大喜訊。就好像如 一些經典的酒款Salon Le Mesnil 1997或Domaine Leflaive Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru ‘Les Combettes’2005， 這些酒的價格都相當接近零 售價。Salon在其他酒店的 餐廳售$5390，而WHISK則 只 需 $ 2 1 7 6 ； Leflaive一般索 價$4890，在WHISK只需$1398 。說明了餐廳酒水的利潤是 如何地高得驚人！對於一般 中價的酒款，好像來自南非 的Klein Constantia‘Vin de Constance’ 2005售價為$561， 但其他餐廳則售$950。這些比 較其實還可以沒完沒了地伸延 下去，因為這裡有更多酒都能 夠以更合理的價格吸引食客。 對比起$400只能得到一些很一 般的酒，在WHISK卻可以享受 到更特別的東西。在下一次的 約會或者聚餐，不妨考慮一試 酒單中那些未嚐過的酒款？

The development of modern critics and trends in the taste of people. Lin tries to tell from the basic how we should appreciate wine in different occasion. “A rock pillar is not necessarily stronger than a bamboo scaffolding under earthquake or thunderstorm. A wine without the structure and body doesn’t mean it will not age well. Many wines which seems fragile is of huge aging potential, usually last tens of years.” Another remarkable piece by Lin. 台灣著名葡萄酒作家林裕森，最新作品《弱滋味》一反正統對葡萄酒的 審美角度，以發自內心的另一種價值觀去反思著不同的葡萄酒，從傳統 到現代的葡萄酒評價方式，以至在不同地方所吹起的不同潮流等，從基 本去展現葡萄酒的真諦。「看似屹立不搖的巨大石柱，卻不一定比隨風 飄搖的竹架更經得起地震與風雨的摧折。沒有厚實酒體與堅固架構的葡 萄酒，就一定經不起時間的考驗嗎？許多看似柔弱清淡的葡萄酒，其實 都常有超出想像的驚人耐久潛力，不只是十數年，常常是數十年。」喜 歡他的朋友千萬不要錯過這本佳作。

Year of a Shining Ruby 寶紅色的光輝歲月
Jebsen Fine Wines, one of the leading wine merchants in Hong Kong, has been representing Taylor’s port for the last 15 years, and has been actively promoting port culture by organizing port tastings and dinners, including Taylor’s Scion which is a very rare pre-phylloxera port made more than 150 years ago. Vintage port is also another piece showcasing their excellent quality.
Taylor’s Vintage Port 2011 Pre-order price at HK$548 per bottle. Stock available in late August 預訂價每瓶港幣548元，八月底正式到貨。
Many of the port houses in Douro are excited to declared 2011 as the next vintage Port year after 2007 and 2009, and Taylor’s, one of the most historic Port houses, has also released the 2011 vintage Port series. Vintage port is different from tawny Port in that it spends a relatively short period of time in large oak vat, and the aging and maturation are mainly done after bottling. It evolves and matures for as long as a few decades or even over a hundred years. Taylor’s decision to declare Vintage Port year is based entirely on the quality of the wine, like in 2009, they decided to release the Vintage Port when not all houses declared. In 2007, we had a cooler and elegant vintage for Port, while the 2009 give us some powerful and tannic wine. On the other hand, 2011 could be classified as a perfect port vintage— during 2011, the majority of Europe’s vineyards struggled with bad weather, but the Douro

are ripe with a firm structure. It is truly a textbook vintage for vintage Port, and we look forward to these wines maturing over the next few decades. Taylor’s vintage Port 2011 is based on a blend from their Quinta de Vargellas and Quinta de Terra Feita, complemented by some wine from the Quinta do Junco. At our tasting, we are attracted by the intense violet nose followed by the dark fruit of blackberry and cassis, this reminds us of the Vargellas. On the palate the purity of the juicy fruit is supported by subtle note of liquorice and black coffee, lengthening to the finish with sweet ripe tannin that is so refined and rounded that you seldom expect from a young vintage port which is usually harsh

Jancis Robinson giving it 19.5/20, Neal Martin at 96-98pts, and James Suckling at 96pts. Vintage Port has always needed a long period of time to evolve in the bottle to reach maturity, and the 2011 wines will only start showing their delicacy from 30 years onwards, before reaching their peak at 60 or 70 years. The very best vintage Ports can age for more than a century and still excel. In recent years, the style of these long living wines have changed

a bit and they are definitely more accessible early than the Port wines of the past. Douro winemakers have started to make the wines smoother from the start, although they maintain enough tannic structure to easily age and evolve for decades. So if you want to invest in some 2011 vintage wines for a newborn child, the 2011 vintage Ports will likely be your best choice amongst all European wines. 香港最具規模酒商之一的捷成洋酒引入Taylor’s波特酒已有十五年之久，同時不斷推動著波特酒文化， 經常舉辦波特酒品鑑會及晚宴，包括Taylor’s系列當中最珍貴的Scion酒款，她是在根瘤蚜蟲害前釀造 的古舊波特酒，有超過150年歷史。除此之外，年份波特酒也是Taylor’s的另一實力代表作。
繼2007年後，不少酒莊也將2011年確立為最新的年份波特酒年份。當中最具歷史的品牌之 一，Taylor’s也早於四月宣布繼2007年及2009年後，推出2011年年份波特酒（Vintage Port）。 簡單說明一下，年份波特酒跟茶色波特酒（Tawny Port）不同，只有短時間在大型橡木桶陳釀， 熟成主要在裝瓶後進行，持續著數十年至過百載的歲月洗禮。而Taylor’s主要依從當年的收成及 品質，決定是否推出年份波特酒。就像2009年，只有少數酒莊像Taylor’s推出年份波特酒。 相對2007年的清涼、優雅及2009年的溫暖、充滿力量而高單寧，2011年是一個經典的偉大年 份，當整個歐洲的葡萄農、釀酒師都在面對著挑戰的時候，在葡萄牙的波特酒產區，卻是滿載著 勝利的黃金一年。2010冬天豐盛的雨水提供充足的水份讓葡萄渡過炎熱乾燥的夏天。直至收成 的時候，天氣有如教科書般理想，葡萄得以飽滿成熟，充滿果香的同時也有美妙的單寧結構，味 道複雜集中，將會是另一個偉大的年份波特酒，在長年熟成後展現出美態。 Taylor’s的2011年份波特酒一如以往，以自家的葡萄園Quinta de Vargellas及Quinta de Terra Feita為骨幹，加上部分來自Quinta do Junco的酒釀來調配。我們品嚐的時候，被那帶著強烈 紫羅蘭花香的氣味吸引著，加上豐富的黑漿果如黑莓及黑加倫，充滿Vargellas的風格。入口純 淨結實，飽滿多汁的果香帶有陣陣甘草及黑咖啡的味道在口腔伸延，收結單寧甜美柔順，跟我 們認識的年份波特酒在年輕時的表現完全不同，沒有那種粗獷青澀。世界各地的酒評家都對 Taylor’s這年的波特酒有很高的評價，Jancis Robinson給予19.5/20分，Neal Martin給予96-98 分，James Suckling給予96分。 年份波特酒一向以來都需要長時間熟成，需要酒到中年才開始展現出成熟美味的一面，年過六、 七十年才屬於壯年，上佳的年份波特酒經過一百年仍美味可口，當然你必需好好存放。近年有趣 的是，這些應該經過50年才進入適飲期的年份波特酒，在剛裝瓶後不久便可以飲用，釀酒師解釋 道這是他們的目標，但並不代表她們不能長時間陳年。如果你想投資2011年的佳釀或為你2011 年誕生的寶貝留下一些葡萄酒讓他將來享用，年份波特酒是一個不錯的選擇。

A Journey to the Ancient Wine World 遊走古老葡萄酒國度
Text: Eddie Chui Images: Flying Firenze Special Thanks: Flying Firenze, Hepo – Hellenic Foreign Trade Board
Imagine being on an island surrounded by blue skies and clear, bright water, with little white houses sitting alongside the nearby hilltop. You would think about Greece for sure. But when you are drinking crisp refreshing white wines and having a wonderful seafood platter, where would you think of then? Australia? New Zealand or even Burgundy? Why aren’t you reminded of Greece, which is surrounded by thousands of islands? In fact, the Greeks have been making wine since 6,500 years ago, and Greece is one of the oldest wine regions in the world. Cru were invited to visit this ancient country for more than a week to explore the new contemporary Greek wines. 在藍天碧海的小島上，一座座靠山而立的小白屋，如此景象大家必定會想起希臘的海岸。但當我們喝著清新怡人 的白葡萄酒，吃著美味新鮮的海上鮮，又會想起那裡呢？澳洲？新西蘭？還是勃艮第呢？又有誰會想起這一片壯 麗，位於地中海的最大島國，希臘呢？其實遠在六千多年前，希臘已經有人釀造葡萄酒，是世界最古老的釀酒文 化之一。我們今次被邀到希臘個多星期，了解希臘葡萄酒新的一頁。

Editor’s Choices Eddie Chui: Greek wine is always out of everyones’ radar as they are rarely seen on the market, and their local grape varieties are not easy to understand. In this panel tasting, I am impressed by their whites and sweet wines. Besides some really local specialty like the Retsina, most of the whites wines are crispy and refreshing, and are good choices to go with seafood. Vin Santo is always appealing, but not all wineries could retain good acidity which is crucial. For red wines, the traditional style is not pleasing our panel, but the indigenous grape of Agirogitiko shows their potential with modern winemaking. My choices for the 2 reds are both Agirogitiko from Nemea, which nice fruitiness and intensity, light and fine velvety tannin. 希臘葡萄酒一向予人奇特的感覺，一來他們在市場上比較少見，二來以本土葡萄為主的酒釀當然不易理解。是次品評中， 我對於希臘的白葡萄酒及甜酒有較大的好感，除了個別地道的特別酒釀如Retsina的風味較難接受外，一般的白酒都清爽怡 人，容易入口，是配搭海鮮的好拍擋。甜酒Vin Santo一般也能討好，只是要有清新的酸度，但還不是每間酒莊都能掌握 好。紅葡萄酒方面，以傳統風格為主的酒釀，未必討好，但在現代化的酒莊中，以本土葡萄Agirogitiko顯現出潛力，我選的 兩款紅酒無獨有偶都是來自Nemea地區的Agirogitiko，喜歡她們的果香加上細緻的口感，單寧輕盈而細緻。

Joe Lo: The ancient Greeks started making grapes in the 7th century BC, and now have over 600 wineries, although this is tiny compared to the rest of the world’s production. 60% of all Greek wines are white, and the most common can be said to be Assyrtiko, which thrives and originated from the beautiful resort island of Santorini. Here, most of the vines are ungrafted, and this ancient varietal is born from the dry but fertile volcanic soil, which gives the wine a richly mineral and unique flavour. For our panel tasting the top two wine were Assyrtikos from Santorini, which both had a prominent nuttiness. The Gaia Assyrtiko Wild Ferment 2011 in particular had a strong aroma of roasted peanuts and cashews, while Pavlidis Thema White 2011, which had some Sauvignon Blanc in the blend, had a good mineral taste from the Assyrtiko and a slight stone fruit, sweet, and mineral flavour. 文明古國希臘在公元前七世紀開始已經開始種植葡萄和釀製葡萄酒，共有六百多家酒莊的希臘相比世界其他酒國產量算 少，整體約佔六成多都是白葡萄酒。希臘的白葡萄品種中，最常見的可說是 Assyrtiko，原產於著名的渡假勝地 Santorini 島。這裡的 Assyrtiko大多都是沒有經過嫁接的古老品種，生於乾燥而肥沃的火山灰土壤上，礦物豐富，釀出來的酒風味 獨特非常。的確，我們是次品酒會中的 Assyrtiko白酒其中有拼兩款都是來自 Santorini，整體口感較近於堅果味道等果仁 香氣，其中一款使用野生酵母的Assyrtiko by Gaia Wild Fermented 2011更有著非常濃郁的烤花生、烤腰果等咸香。另一 款混合了Sauvignon Blanc與Assyrtiko的Pavlidis Thema White 2011則來自希臘較北面的Macedonia地區，在Assyrtiko的 礦物口感之餘，Sauvignon Blanc亦帶出了酒中的核果香氣，輕微的甜度，與礦物的咸香平衡良好。

PANEL TASTING

Ian Wong : In honesty I expected a little bit more out of many of these Greek wines. Over the last few years I’ve tried some stunningly good Assyrtiko and Xinomavro out of Greece, but many of these wines, while well made, lacked verve and excitement. It seemed that many of these winemakers settled for making a simple “enjoyable” wine, without caring for pushing the limit on what these indigenous grapes could do. But as always there are exceptions. Assyrtiko by Gaia Wild Ferment 2011 had a very funky aroma, but I appreciated the extra complexity in the palate from the local yeasts. For reds, I’ve always liked the work of KirYanni, and his Diaprons 2008 is going to be superb when it is mature in 3 or 4 years. At the moment it is too closed and tannic. If possible, look for KirYanni Ramnista, which is 100% Xinomavro and just remarkable. 老實說其實我對這些希臘酒的期望是高的，在過去幾年我也曾品嚐過某些優秀的 Assyrtiko和 Xinomavro，但許多這些希 臘酒雖則好喝，卻缺乏了那麼一點點趣味。就表面看來許多這些釀酒師似乎都很滿足說釀造「好喝」的酒，但卻乏略了 這些原生葡萄的巨大潛力。但凡事總有例外，Assyrtiko by Gaia Wild Ferment 2011就有著非當獨特的香氣，而且口感充 滿原生酵母的特色；紅酒方面，我十分欣賞KirYanni的Diaprons 2008，在成熟三至四年左右應會表現不錯，現階段來說 它的單寧仍是有點粗糙。如果可以的話，試著品嚐他們的KirYanni Ramnista，釀造自100%Xinomavro，十分不錯的酒！
Conclusion The white wines of Greece were the first wines from the country to be widely appreciated from the international wineloving community, so it was no surprise that these mineral-focused, saline, and refreshing wines pleased the judges, although it was fantastic to see regions outside of Santorini excelling. Traditional ones such as Pavlidis Thema White 2011 came from Macedonia for example, while we saw Sigalas and Gaia from Santorini step outside the box with barrel fermented and wild yeast Assyrtiko examples. We had a unique Retsina wine from Thessaloniki, which the judges found interesting, but ultimately difficult to accept. For the red wines, many expressed regret that there weren’t more examples of the excellent grape Xinomavro, which produces the finest red wines in the country. Instead, we managed to gather a diverse range of wines that varied greatly from price, grape, and style. Very few of the grapes had international blends, and our top dry red wine, Cavino Nemea Reserve 2007, was 100% Agiorgitiko, showing the promise and appeal of this indigenous varietal. Our highest scoring wine was Parparoussis Wines Muscat of Rio Patras 2006, a deliciously enticing and well-balanced wine, although the Sigalas Vin Santo 2004 is stylistically more unique. Nutty, a touch oxidative and well developed, this wine is something you can’t find anywhere else in the world. 希臘的白酒是最先受到國際間酒迷的接受，所以不難想像它那礦物主導、帶鹽澀和清爽的酒質都能夠令評審們滿 意，然而除此之外，能夠看見聖托里尼島以外的地區跑出也是相當令人興奮的。就好像來自Macedonia的傳統酒款 Pavlidis Thema White 2011、以及來自聖托里尼島的Sigalas和Gaia、那以木桶發酵和使用野生酵母的Assyrtiko酒款。 眾酒款中更有一款非常獨特、來自Thessaloniki的Retsina，令評審們都為之驚訝，非常有趣的一款酒，卻也未必能接 受的一種獨特口味。 紅酒方面，評審們都表示出對Xinomavro品種的仰慕，這個品種釀造的都是名揚世界的獨特酒款，然而我們希望這 次品酒會能夠帶出的，更是從價錢、品種和風格並合的酒。眾酒之中有小部份混合了國際品種，但我們是次的冠軍 酒款—Cavino Nemea Reserve 2007卻是以100% Agiorgitiko釀製，顯示出希臘原生品種的優秀。 所有酒款中最高分的是來自Parparoussis 的Muscat of Rio Patras 2006，一款平衡良好、美味的酒款，而Sigalas Vin Santo 2004則有著另一種獨特之處，帶有相當豐富的果仁香、一絲氧化的氣息，而且已經完全熟成，絕對是世界其 他地方都不能找到的味道。

As a visionary, he actively sought foreign markets like the United States, where he is credited with popularizing Champagne. Armed with nothing more than his high hat, his wooden cane, and several cases of his wine, he boldly ventured deep into dangerous territory even throughout the American Civil War to ensure that his business survived, spreading the gospel of Champagne from the North to the South. And though today Charles Heidsieck Champagne isn’t the most ubiquitous brand, connoisseurs and sommeliers have always looked to Charles Heidsieck for the quality of the wine. Non-vintage Champagnes like Charles Heidsieck Brut Reserve are the resulting blend of hundreds of wines, and while many historically excellent wineries have increasingly added young wines to bulk their

Brut Reserve 當中有 40% 的酒是陳年基酒，葡萄來自十四個不同的葡萄 園，在 NV 香檳中十分少見。而且從今開始，每瓶 Charles Heidsieck Brut

Régis Camus （現任 Piper-Heidsieck 釀酒師）及 Daniel Thibault 的理 念，把優秀的工藝及對品質的追求帶到旗下各款酒釀。正如所有最頂尖的 釀酒師， Thierry 也在 Charles Heidsieck 工作超過二十年，對於香檳莊的 風格及傳統都非常熟悉。他曾任生產總管、莊園總管及後成為副釀酒師， 對於酒莊每個細節，每個工序都很了解，對於 Charles Heidsieck 的強項 及如何發揮最頂尖都一清二楚。 例如，當 Thierry 成為釀酒師，他毫不猶豫地把 Brut Reserve 當中的基酒 由以前來自 120 塊不同的葡萄園，篩減至 60 塊最好的田園。即使有如此重 大的改變，酒釀仍然保持著備受愛戴的傳統 Charles Heidsieck 風格，而 且顯得更精緻，更純美。
Charles Heidsieck現在共有5款酒釀：Brut Reserve、Rosé Reserve 、 Brut Millésimé 2000 、 Rosé Millésimé 1999 及 Blanc des Millénaires 1995 。每款酒都贏取了多個獎項，在世界各地的酒評當中
Brand Ambassador Ned Goodwin MW 品牌大使 Ned Goodwin MW
Along with a new distributor and brand ambassador, Charles Heidsieck has been launching an ambitious rebranding as they seek to modernize their appearance without changing the great flavour of the wines. The bottles have all changed to become sleeker and starker, and the labels are now more elegant and minimalist. The current winemaker of Charles Heidsieck is Thierry Roset, who has continued to build upon the legacy achieved by his famed predecessors, Régis Camus (current chef de caves of Piper Heidsieck), and Daniel Thibault. And like the best Champagne winemakers, Thierry Roset has served with Charles Heidsieck for over 20 years, and is imbued with the style and tradition that the house represents. He has served as Director of Production, Director of Oenology, and finally as Deputy Winemaker, so he knows better than anyone exactly what Charles Heidsieck excels at, and how the wines could improve. For example, once Thierry took over, he narrowed the number of vineyards the house used from 120 to 60, choosing to use only the best for the Brut Reserve. Hence the latest wines from Charles Heidsieck are imbued with the classic style that loyal fans will appreciate, only with more refinement and purity. Charles Heidsieck currently has five cuvées: Brut Reserve, Rosé Reserve, Brut Millésimé 2000, Rosé Millésimé 1999, and Blanc des Millénaires 1995. Each of these wines has won multiple awards and constantly score in the

都獲得 90 分以上的評價，但並不是因為單純的高分數便能贏得所有人的美 譽。她們備受愛戴是因為每款酒釀都是經過悉心打造的佳釀，最好的例子 便是 Blanc des Millénaires 1995 ，基本上這瓶酒全都是由位於 Côte des
Blancs 特級田： Oger 、 Mesnil-sur-Oger 、 Cramant 及 Avize 的葡萄釀造， 但他們卻加入了名為 Vertus 的一級田，那是由 Daniel Thibault所開發的葡萄 園，擁有獨特的個性，雖然像是把原本屬於特級田白釀白的香檳降格，但 這卻是對完美酒質的追求，結果贏得更多的歡呼聲。就好像一個低調的紳 士，Charles Heidsieck一向是愛酒之人間的一點秘密，隱姓埋名。 就算我們不可以像 Charles-Camille Heidsieck 一樣溫文爾雅，我們仍可 以穿著禮服、戴上高帽、撐著拐杖，一起舉杯盡興。可能「 Charlie 」也從 未想過他的香檳有天會流傳到今日、在遠方彼岸的我們手上，繼續在美麗 的黃昏歡呼著。
high 90’s from every prominent critic in the world, but honestly that isn’t why you should buy them. You should buy them because of the care and attention that goes into each wine; for example, the Blanc des Millénaires 1995 is composed of entirely Grand Cru grapes from Côte des Blancs vineyards: Oger, Mesnil-sur-Oger, Cramant and Avize, with the exception of a single 1er Cru Vertus developed and planted by Daniel Thibault. That is dedication, a sign of true quality from a winery that rarely makes loud proclamations about its Champagne. Just like how a gentleman remains humble, so Charles Heidsieck has always been under-the-radar and a great secret for wine lovers. Charles Heidsieck Rosé Reserve

Famed Chilean Wine 天作之合 Text: Eddie Chui
When we talk about Chilean wines, we think of medium range and good value quality wines. In recent years we have seen many exciting top wines from Chile, like Don Maximiano from Viña Errazuriz and Seña, wines that are demonstrating the beautiful ageing potential of Chilean wines. Many new projects are starting up for top quality wines. Like Viña Caliterra jointly created by the Chadwick family of Errazuriz and Robert Mondavi. 每當提到智利酒，大家都把集中力放在價平質優的方向，其實近年有不少智利酒莊出產頂級葡萄酒，例如

1842 Joseph and his wife decided to leave Jacquesson and settle in Reims, where all Joseph knew he wanted to do was continue to make great Champagne. With his experience and skill, he decided to form Krug in 1943, with two ideals: Firsty, to be good, and secondly, to never compromise on his quality. Later on when Paul Krug, one of his two sons, inherited the estate, he carried on the legacy by his father, and they haven’t looked back since.

It uses all three Champagne grapes from 20-25 different vineyards (some of which are classified), and reserve wines from 6 to 10 years are used in the blend (while other houses use reserve wines of only 4 years). AOC laws for NV wines also state a minimum of 15 months of aging on the lees, but Krug wines are aged for at least six years. Krug Rose NV: The Pinot Noir used for this rose are all from Ay, and in fact Paul Krug II’s two sons Henri and Remi were responsible for making a wine of this complexity. Normally rose Champagne had no flavour, but in 1976 they mixed in Pinot Noir with the standard base wine for their wine and then fermented the wine. They didn’t import the wine, but in 1983 his father Paul tasted these Champagnes and was stunned at the charming wild floral notes and the beautiful golden colour of the wine. They began making rose

vineyard, which took 8 years. Hence the first vintage of Clos du Mesnil is 1979. Krug Clos d’Ambonnay: This is the last wine to join the Krug family, and is a Blanc de Noir (100% Pinot Noir). The grapes come from a tiny vineyard located in the south of Montagne de Reims, and production is incredibly small. Only 3,000 bottles are produced annually, and as a result it is extremely expensive and precious.
Wine Tasting When I visited Krug I tried the following three wines: Krug Grand Cuvee NV: It shows pale gold, although it is only a non-vintage, the taste is quite rich. This Champagne has a touch of sour lemon, mixed with orange, toast, and a mineral taste. It finished with a bit of honey. Krug 1998: This is from 1998 and the main grape is Chardonnay. There is some citric acidity on the palate with a nose of sulphur and a touch of savoury baked beans. Krug Clos du Mesnil 1998: Only 1,200 bottles were produced and this is 100% Chardonnay. A very unusual bottle with floral, white truffle, cream, and nutty aromas. There is great acidity to balance the complexity, and an elegant, lingering finish. Has a commanding presence.

Future development of Chilean Wines
《智利酒－前瞻與未來》 Chinese Text & Images: Jennifer Luk Translation: Eddie Chui
In recent years, you can find thousands of different wines in Hong Kong. The wine scene has never been so exciting, with new developments everyday. Hong Kong people are more interested in wine than ever, with wine lovers sharing photos of wine gatherings on social networks every minute. Aside from the famed wines from familiar regions in cellars or wines brought back from aboard by friends, there are still wines that are waiting for us to explore. This time let us explore the wines from Chile in South America! 近年，在港有售的葡萄酒款有如繁星，數不盡；關於葡萄酒的報導屢見不鮮；酒客在社交網絡上分享的酒聚相片，幾乎每一分鐘就有一張 新上載的，由此可見，香港人對葡萄酒的喜愛程度有多高。然而，當我們沉醉在香港這個角落，享用著在港有售或酒友從熱門的葡萄酒國 帶回來的美酒，大家可有想過，在地球另一端的酒國，還有不少有待我們發掘的葡萄酒？今期，就讓我帶大家探索位於南美的智利酒世界！

昨天與今天 談智利酒之前，先分享一些我見香港葡萄酒市場的現象。不知大家有否留意 到，很多香港人對法國酒有著解不開的情意結或帶著相當程度的迷思，知名度 甚高的波爾多、勃艮第和香檳都吸引了不少擁戴者，就連剛剛開始接觸葡萄酒 的人，也會說得出這幾個產區名字，甚至認為這兒出產的就是好酒，是不二之 選。相對而言，智利酒就未有如廝魔力，試問有幾多酒客購買智利酒的時候， 會先想一想買哪個產區的酒？多數人會先鎖定偏好的品牌和葡萄品種，然後以 葡萄酒的價位來分辨其檔次，繼而決定買哪款智利酒，地區特色或風土條件的 概念，好像跟智利酒拉不上關係。 沒法子，畢竟智利酒業的發展於90年代才真正起飛，產區的法定監管規條於
1994年才被正式化，而時至今天，一眾釀酒師仍然在努力研究智利的風土， 以及葡萄品種與風土條件的關係，又難怪酒客不認識智利酒的產區特色，亦不 會以之作為選購智利酒的因素之一。話雖如此，相信大部份酒客會認同，認識 葡萄酒多一點，能讓享受昇華，所以，我們何不花少許時間，由今天所知的開

wines. The most sought after regions are Bordeaux, Bourgogne and Champagne, and even beginners know these names. They also have the impression that the wines from these regions are all good ones and end up just sticking to these wines. Relatively, Chilean wines are not as fascinating for most wine lovers. People are not that familiar with the wine regions and are not that eager to look for wines from a particular region. They will lock on to a particular brand and grape variety, and sort the wines out by price, instead of considering the terroir of these Chilean wines. The wine industry of Chile is young, and it only really started developing since the 90’s, as the appellation law was only established in 1994. The enologists and winemakers are still exploring the terroir of different regions and their relationship with different grape varieties. It is definitely not easy for consumers to buy Chilean wines according to regions. But most wine lovers would agree that it is important to spend some time to understand the country and the regions in order to better appreciate these Chilean wines. Visiting Chile earlier, I was given the chance to explore different

Leyda Valley is a new region developed at the end of the 90’s, which is part of the San Antonio Valley, located close to the Pacific Ocean. Therefore it has more of an oceanic influence compared to other regions. We went to Viña Garcés Silva which is the pioneer in the region. It focuses on producing 5 quality wines only, without any basic series. They bottle their Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Syrah under the brand Amayna.

波爾多的父與子
Sons of Bordeaux
English Text: Brinda Bourhis // Translation: Sophie Siow
Bordeaux like many French wine regions is anchored in history and properties have been passed down from one generation to the next. Taking over from ones father who may have been a figure-head in the wine world can sometimes be a daring task for a young son building his career in wine. Today the challenge is also trying to keep the winery in the family faced with the administrative obstacles. Brinda Bourhis, Cru Magazine’s French correspondent takes a look at different father and son profiles from Bordeaux. The report focuses on the contrasts and similarities between the two generations, on their way of running a wine business (sometimes still together) and their vision on the future of family-held estates in Bordeaux. 一如許多其他法國葡萄酒產區，波爾多有著悠久的歷史，當地很多產業都是一代一代承傳下來的。對於一個正在葡萄酒界建立自己事 業的年輕兒子而言，從作為葡萄酒業界領導人物的父親手裡接管產業，絕對是一個勇敢的任務。除此以外，他們今日還要面臨新的挑 戰，克服一個個行政障礙，盡力保留家族的酒莊。《釀．生活》的法國通訊記者Brinda Bourhis採訪了波爾多的三對父子。這報道 將聚焦於兩代人之間的異同、他們運作（甚至一起共同運作）葡萄酒業務的方式，和他們對家族酒莊的展望。

BiondiSanti Text: Eddie Chui
For many old wine regions, new modern style wines develop while the old classic style wineries are keeping their tradition. They have different belief in making great wines. When we are talking about
Brunello di Montalcino, Biondi Santi represents the classic traditional style. After more than 200 years, they are still keeping their same old tradition in winemaking, without much technological updates.
Jacopo Biondi Santi, the fifth generation have the best of both, beholding the traditional Biondi Santi
and modern Castello di Montepò. He understand the importance of traditions while exploring the latest innovation in winemaking.
在很多舊的產酒區中，除了堅持傳統的酒莊外，也會開始發展出所謂的現代派酒莊，他們各自堅持著自己認為是正確的
方向。要說到最傳統的Brunello di Montalcino，大家必定會想起Biondi Santi。經過二百年的光景，時至今日他們仍 然堅守著傳統，不為現代化的革新技術及風格所動搖。而到今天第五代傳人Jacopo Biondi Santi，卻擁有最好，傳統 的Biondi Santi及現代派的Castello di Montepò。他可以在尖端的革新中透徹明瞭傳統的重要性。

Raffles Hotel has always been known for providing an environment of quiet elegance and delicacy no matter where the branch locations are. In Singapore, the Middle East, or elsewhere in Asia, Raffles Hotel always has a classic image of beauty, and out of all the Raffles Hotels in the world, only one is in Europe: the romantic city of Paris. Artistic Conception After two years of renovation, the famed designer Philippe Starck has skillfully wrought a theme for Le Royal Monceau – Raffles Paris, which was officially opened in 2010. Situated in Paris, Le Royal Monceau – Raffles Paris is arguably the world’s most unique Raffles yet, where the artistic intent of Philippe Starck permeates the atmosphere of the building. 萊佛士品牌旗下的酒店一向給人一種優雅而恬靜的秀氣感覺，無論是新加坡、亞洲還是中 東地區駐腳的萊佛士酒店都一貫地擁有著品牌經典的美態，至於在歐洲地區唯一一間萊佛 士酒店則位於浪漫之都—法國巴黎。 構思藝術 經過兩年時間的重新裝修，在設計師 Philippe Starck 的巧手之下，這一所以藝術為主題 的Le Royal Monceau – Raffles Paris 正式在2010 年開幕。這間位於巴黎的Le Royal
Monceau – Raffles Paris 可以說是世界各地的Raffles 中最獨特的，這裡的藝術氣息氛圍 一流，正正就是Philippe 構思的原意。

Domoina Debrantes and her team will be providing tourists visiting Paris with the best routes, the best museums to visit, and also the latest exhibitions showing. Each trip can be tailor made for guests, as everyone likes to visit different exhibitions and shows.

And as an advocate of contemporary art and culture, how could such a hotel lack a restaurant serving such fine delicacies? Le Royal Monceau – Raffles Paris has a total of two Michelinstarred restaurants. The first one is La Cuisine by Executive Chef Laurent André and Chef Gabriel Grapin, who serve delicious and fresh contemporary French cuisine. The layout and décor of the restaurant are full of French Art Nouveau works, and even the ceiling of the restaurant was personally painted by the French artist Stéphane Calais, creating a natural and casual atmosphere. 米芝蓮餐廳坐陣 一間擁有如此宣揚當代藝術的精緻酒店又怎能缺少供應精緻美饌的餐廳呢？Le Royal Monceau –

Then there is Il Carpaccio, the only Italian restaurant in Paris that has two-Michelin stars. It is decorated with a Sicilian Baroque design and the wall has broken sea shells on the sides to emphasize the coastal nature of the restaurant. The chef, Roberto Rispoli, hails from Tuscany, and Works alongside Executive Chef Laurent André and Pastry Chef Pierre Hermé to meld Italian and French styles together. They focus on rustic, country-styles of cooking, with fresh ingredients and wonderful French pastries to round up a hearty meal. You can’t miss Peirre Hermé’s famous Macarons with Chocolate. Even for a city like Paris, the Raffles Hotel is an unexpected escape and symbol of elegance. The hotel really presents a unique presentation of the flexible attitude of life that art lovers enjoy, and travellers that want leisure and culture will find a whole different side of Paris from Raffles. 另外一間餐廳Il Carpaccio更是巴黎唯一一間擁有兩星米芝蓮榮譽的意大利餐廳，餐廳的裝潢以西 西里常見的巴洛克風格設計，牆上更有一塊塊貝殼作裝飾，充滿海岸風情。來自意大利Tuscany 的大廚Roberto Rispoli聯同行政總廚Laurent André及糕餅大師Pierre Hermé，以新鮮的法國食材 及傳統意國食譜烹調各款意式美食和甜品糕點。除了正式用餐之外，來到這裡更絕對要一試Pierre
Hermé著名的Macaron與朱古力！ 想不到 Raffles 的優雅與經典，在法國巴黎竟能以全新的面貌呈現出來，將法式藝術以融入生活 的姿態靈活詮釋，可以說是無論是鍾愛藝術、還是希望體驗優閒品味的旅人來到巴黎必住的酒 店之一。

Junghans Meister Handaufzug
Natural Craft 跨越百年的不老名字 Text: Eddie Chui
In the world of watches, many names are built from scratches, with innovation and exceptional craftsmanship. Junghans is one of these names going through a century by its strength, not depending solely on the market planning. 在鐘錶的世界，很多有名字都是從無到有，從小到大，經過不斷磨練、創新、精進而成為一代宗師，成就過百 年的事業的。Junghans絕對是如此經過千錘百鍊的字號，靠的不是名牌效應，而是從內到外的非凡實力。

The terroir The soil is very old and characterized by a combination of shale and clay, and by an absence of limestone. The long sea-facing front is undoubtedly responsible for the unique character of Clos Mireille’s output. The microclimate and sea spray provide favourable conditions for the production of exceptional wines. Tasting notes Paly yellow in colour with flecks of grey-gold. Enigmatic nose blending a range of aromas, with hints of exotic fruit and peach, light and zingy citrus fruit, and floral top notes of lime-blossom and hawthorn. In the mouth, this full and aromatic wine displays prefect balance, with initial fresh notes of grapefruit and lemongrass that develop a roundness and creaminess of white fruit in the palate. Lingering finish is reminiscent of the Clos Mireille terroir, with iodino notes and a soft, liquorice sweetness.

Vinturi Essential Wine Aerator Traditionally, decanters were used to expose wine to air. However, decanting is time-consuming, cumbersome, and inconvenient. Vinturi's patent pending design speeds up this process with ease and convenience. Perfect aeration in the time it takes to pour a glass. As wine breathes, it opens up and releases its intended aromas and flavours. The more you appreciate wine, the more you'll appreciate the difference. (Limited to 24 subscribers only)
