Hot Beachlooks – LA PERLA Capsule Collection Graphique Couture.

The ribbing on the vintage bodices is the inspiration behind this twofold lingerie and beachwear collection. In the underwear creations, tulle and satin are playfully transparent, tracing clear and sensual lines across the body. The swimsuits and bikinis in the beachwear collection combine LYCRA® and tulle inserts.

Of note is the couture touch of the ribbing, which creates a graphic motif on the décolleté. www.laperla.com 复古紧身衣上的棱纹是双层内衣和沙滩装系列的灵感源泉。在内衣作品 中，薄纱和丝缎透明交织，完美勾勒出女性清晰的性感身体曲线。沙滩装系 列中的泳衣和比基尼将莱卡®纤维和薄纱嵌片完美结合。时尚立体的棱纹在 肩部形成优美图案。www.laperla.com

A Mexican tale – ETRO man Spring I Summer 2014.

Rich stories meet mexican fables, exploring the roots of a glorious past. Such is the art of the Charreria; a handbook of masculine elegance that continues throughout history, evolving into an everyday wardrobe. Embroidered leather saddles pay homage to the majestic charros, adding a structural element to iconic outerwear and accessories. Detailing in relief, laser cut patterns and delicate embroideries create an intricate web of Paisley patterns across a leather base. Slim piping adds definition to a tonal base, whilst pastel hues give a nod to a traditional cowboy figure, in a contemporary twist for the modern gentleman. The Etro Man is both free and elegant for the Spring Summer 14 season.

In a mix of traditional English suiting, sartorial shirts and sleek trench coats, the Italian tailors aim for excellence in a bespoke combination of contrasting fabrics, colours and prints. This Mexican tale carries a love of art and heritage, painting subtle accents across sharp looks, just like a cascade of watercolour prints, through equestrian and cashmere motifs. The fresh twist on linen and cottons mixes dusky hues with ease, whilst sleek accessories scream New Tradition with modern forms and a colourful soul. www.etro.com

ALPENGLOW

By Patricia Schweizer I Uwe Herzog Translation Louise Mawbey I Mark S. Kennedy

The mountaintop is flame red and reminiscent of a bizarrely cut ruby. Below it, there is only night. Just a few windows in the town are already lit up. An electric cart purrs quietly up the mountainside, bringing suitcases from the station or the heliport. This early in the morning, everything on the Matterhorn seems absolutely untouched …

In February 2014 Chopi Chopi won the “Interior Design Award” for megayachts over 60 metres at the “Showboats Design Awards”.

Chopi Chopi was also presented the special prize at “The World Superyachts Awards” for its innovation, design and onboard technology, which also captivated the Owner’s family. CRN, part of the Ferretti Group, specialises in the construction of fully-customised megayachts, made of steel and aluminium, ranging from 40 and 90 metre.

CRN 129 80m CHOPI CHOPI features: Hull number 129 built by the shipyard, at a staggering 80 metres, is the largest megayacht ever built by CRN and one of the biggest ever produced in Italy. Chopi Chopi is a grand showcase of Italian quality, having been fully constructed in Ancona and designed by two Italian architectural firms: Studio Zuccon International Project, which created the exterior profile and interior layout together with CRN Engineering, and architect Laura Sessa, who was responsible for the stylistic concepts and interior design.

BALLWANZ BEST INVEST IN Real Estate

By Sara Musinowski Translation Mark S. Kennedy

Germany - Europe´s leading economic power - is characterised by outstanding offers in real estate investments. First class construction, secure, stable price structures and constantly growing profits are reason enough to take a closer look at this market and buy now.

The focus is on Frankfurt am Main, Germany’s fifth largest city, with an international airport, central business location of numerous leading companies as well as financial metropolis and soon to be the largest headquarters of the European Central Bank – here you’ll find exponential growth at one of the best property locations in Europe. The former investment banker and successful owner of the real estate firm Ballwanz Immobilien GmbH & Co. KG, Rainer M. Ballwanz, who has been in the business for 23 years, comments: “For 30 years, investors here in Frankfurt have never lost money, rather constantly increased their worth.”

Which is why he very clearly advises buying and has “exquisites” at the ready in his portfolio. In private, an enthusiastic racing driver, who likes to go to adventurous heights, and therefore travels in his free time to go on mountain expeditions in the Himalayas, is currently devoting himself to the task of selling the “Henninger Turm”, one of the highest residential buildings in Germany. He raves enthusiastically about the future 360° view from the 34th floor of one of the elegant Premium apartments across “Mainhatten’s Skyline”, and over the close-by city forest. The renowned Meixner Schlüter Wendt architectural bureau will be responsible for constructing this exceptional tower. Besides the best city locations, his other properties such as the “Maintor Palazzi”, the “East Village” and “Der Töngeshof” offer outstanding floor plans including the finest German construction.

The ‘Pink Star,’ a flawless 59.6-carat (11.92g) diamond, has sold for $83 million – the highest price ever paid for a gemstone.

Since time immemorial, the diamond has not only been a legendary object of desire but, above all, a sought-after asset.

a stone saw that could even cut through granite as if it were butter.

The secret was that diamonds were used for the first time on the cutting blade of a large-size tool – an important step towards the industrial revolution. The circular saw presented in Philadelphia also represented a milestone in the importance of the diamond.

Whilst it is true that the extremely hard precious stone was used as a tool soon after its discovery in India approximately 6,000 years ago, it was only its industrial use many centuries later that justified large-scale diamond mining and processing. Furthermore, without the unparalleled hardness of this mineral, which is composed of highly-compressed carbon crystals, the development of skilled crafts, industry and trade as seen in the last few centuries would hardly have been possible. It is no coincidence that the word “diamond” is derived from the ancient Greek word for “untameable”. Millions of years ago, it took the pressure of the rock at a depth of hundreds of kilometres and temperatures of around 1,300° Celsius at the centre of the earth’s crust to create what we today know as the most valuable of all precious stones.

And only where volcanic eruptions shifted the earth’s strata and pushed the rare gems to the surface can we hold diamonds in our hands today.

The first deposits in the world in India had long been exhausted when new, spectacular finds in Brazil and then in South Africa were reported at the end of the 18th century. The diamond rush began in what is now the city of Kimberley, in the middle of an inhospitable desert in the Northern Cap province. Under the British protectorate, Cecil Rhodes, one of the very first traders, founded what is still today the largest ever diamond company, De Beers – named after one of the farms on whose ground the precious stones were waiting to be extracted. Even before the city had electric lighting, South Africa’s first stock exchange was opened. On a daily basis, the “Diamonds News”, which was then the country’s leading newspaper, announced new finds in the “Big Hole”. This was the largest pit ever dug by human hand – a giant crater which contained more than 2,700 kilogrammes 52

of diamonds.

time, the demand for diamonds for the industrial sector in particular is constantly increasing. Since the middle of the last century, synthetic diamonds made from graphite have therefore met approximately 80 per cent of the industrial requirement.

Artificial diamonds are not, however, ideally suited to all applications. Especially not for high-quality jewellery. Although the production of jewellery only amounts to less than 20 per cent of the total demand, the importance of diamond jewels has always been the central focus when we talk about the “king of precious stones”. Since the development of the brilliant cut one hundred years ago at the latest, diamonds have adorned engagement rings, chokers, necklaces, earrings, brooches and tiaras, often of immeasurable value.

The jeweller and gemmologist Stephan Schuck tells us what must be borne in mind when buying a diamond. “No two diamonds are alike, even if they appear identical to the naked eye. The size, colour, purity and the way they are cut all differ. The “4Cs”, carat, colour, clarity and cut, are the four value-determining factors and constitute an internationally-binding quality standard which is applied in order to uniquely define and grade every diamond.”

Diamonds show great promise 钻石投资潜力巨大

By Uwe Herzog Translation Louise Mawbey I Mark S. Kennedy

In an interview with Luxury Life MAG, the experienced wealth manager Patrick Demi, CEO of Scarabaeus Wealth Management AG in Liechtenstein, and Gregor Barth, CEO of the renowned jeweller La Serlas located on Bahnhofstrasse in Zurich, explain what has to be kept in mind when investing in diamonds.

Furthermore, those wanting to buy a diamond must always ask for the GIA certificate, a globallyrecognised quality standard.»

How did the 2008/2009 financial crisis affect the diamond market?

Patrick Demi «It had virtually no effect at all – as opposed to other raw materials. In fact with certain sizes of diamond, 2008 even saw a rise in prices. And in the year that followed there was a massive increase for virtually all sizes. Furthermore, the prices for coloured diamonds developed completely independently. This was no doubt due to the fact that they are even

According to a study, the value of a diamond doubles every 7 years. Will this still be the case 7 years from now?

Patrick Demi «Generally speaking, it is impossible to tell. However, the increasing demand in Asia and the ever-decreasing supply would indicate that a continued rise in value is on the cards.

What makes diamonds so interesting for a jeweller?

Gregor Barth «The diamond has always been an object of fascination for human beings. It is the hardest precious stone that there is. And it comes in an enormous range of colours: there are red, blue, green, cognac and pink stones. We are fortunate enough to be the official Swiss dealer for the Australian Argyle mines, supplying the most beautiful pink diamonds.»

So there are plenty of good arguments in favour of investing in diamonds. Why are lots of investors nevertheless hesitant?

Patrick Demi «This no doubt has a lot to do with the fact that diamonds are not traded publically on the commodity markets like other raw materials but are sold exclusively through professional dealers and jewellers. That is why we meticulously set about finding a suitable jeweller who could advise us and our clients professionally and competently. We finally chose La Serlas in Zurich. La Serlas affords us total transparency when it comes to prices and qualities. Our cooperation with La Serlas therefore enables us to acquire first-class and rare diamonds for our clients at excellent prices which constitute very promising investments.

As adding diamonds to our funds is limited to a maximum of 20 per cent, investors also have the opportunity to return their shares of the fund on a monthly basis. Investors therefore have no need to worry that they are entering into an illiquid investment.»

During the FIFA World Cup in 2006, an extremely special football was on display in the showcase at LA SERLAS in Zurich’s Bahnhofstrasse – it was studded with 5,420 white and 2,172 black diamonds and was worth approximately CHF 400,000.

Will you be presenting the “most expensive football in the world” again during this world cup?

Gregor Barth «You have definitely done your research. That’s right – La Serlas is known for its unique pieces and we try again

现在有很多支持投资钻石的观点，为 什么还有很多投资者在犹豫? 帕特里克·德米：(Patrick Demi) 这很显然，因 为钻石不会像其它原材料那样在商品市场中公 开交易，而是会通过专业经销商和珠宝商进行 独家销售。因此，我们会非常谨慎地寻找合适 的珠宝商，他们必须能为我们和客户提供专业 而恰当的建议。最终，我们选择了苏黎世的拉 辛拉。拉辛拉在价格和品质方面，向我们提供 了百分百的透明度。通过与拉辛拉合作，我们 能够以优惠的价格，为客户寻找品质一流、稀 有罕见的钻石，使其成为富有潜力的投资品。 由于基金中的钻石配置最高为20%，因此投资 者每个月都有机会获得基金投资的回报，不必 担心投资流动性差的问题。

2006年足球世界杯比赛期间，在苏 黎世火车站大街的拉辛拉珠宝公司展 示了一个非常特殊的足球：镶嵌了 5,420颗白钻和2,172颗黑钻，价值 约为400,000瑞士法郎。在今年的 世界杯中，贵公司是否还将展示这 个“世界上最昂贵的足球”？ 格雷格·巴斯：(Gregor Barth) 您的准备工作做 得真充分。是的，拉辛拉以创作独特罕见的珠 宝而闻名。我们不断尝试，打造最与众不同、 也许还是打破常规的作品。遗憾的是，今年我 们无法再次展示这个足球了，因为它很早以前 就已售出。

Rare books, watches, bespoke safes, antique furniture and contemporary design are also represented at the fair making Masterpiece one of the most comprehensive and diverse fairs on the cultural calendar.

These highlights are certainly worth looking out for, but the beauty of art fairs is that they represent an open market: nobody knows exactly what will be there on the day, and so the chances of buying a spectacular piece as a new collector are as high as those of an established one. The excitement of walking through the doors on the opening day is palpable, as people rush to the section of their favourite gallery or dealer to get first dibs on the star piece.

GOLF GOLF AND MORE

GOLF

Air Partner, a world leader in private jet charter, took its first foray into the world of professional golf recently by appointing rising star Max Kieffer as brand ambassador.

23 year old Kieffer who was born and bred in the Rhineland region of Germany made an impressive debut on the golf circuit last year when he narrowly missed securing his first European Tour title at the Open de Espa単a in Valencia.

Air Partner, which flies individuals, corporations and governments all over the world, is a fitting sponsor for Kieffer who travels approximately 190,000 miles each year. He will host a number of golf days for Air Partner’s clients showcasing the benefits of private jet charter for business and personal travel which includes an increasing demand for golf holidays.

April heralded the traditional start of the new season when golfers across Europe took to the fairways.

No sooner have they played their first round of golf than their thoughts turn to courses further afield and dreams of a golf break or trip to the Open Championship or Ryder Cup. And there’s no better way to start a golf holiday than with a touch of luxury. Experienced consultants at Air Partner provide access to the best golf courses and resorts in the world from the links and clifftop; heathland and parkland courses of the UK and Ireland to continental favourites like Spain’s Valderrama and Vilamoura in Portugal; American greats like Kiawah Island and modern arrivals like the Emirates Club in Dubai and Legends in South Africa.

With access to 2,000 airports across Europe as opposed to 200 afforded to scheduled aircraft, Air Partner enables golfers to get as close to the course as possible reducing transfer times. For example, golfers on pilgrimage to the home of golf - St Andrews in Scotland are flown directly to RAF Lucas - just fifteen minutes away from the hallowed links, while helicopter transfer at busy championship events where traffic queues can take the pleasure out of the experience is offered.

Jet charter offers flexibility too, if there’s a change in the weather Air Partner can often alter the destination; if play runs on or the party want to stay longer, the company can sometimes Private Jet

Hotel Metropol – A Moscow landmark.

The distilled essence of 900 years of turbulent history: That, and more, is Moscow. Its roughly 15 million people are now flourishing – making this one of the quirkiest and most fascinating cities in the world. The economy is booming, and the mayor has set himself an ambitious target: „Together we will make Moscow the most beautiful city in the world!“ Once you arrive in the Russian capital, few places immerse you in its rich history the way the Hotel Metropol does. The historic building commands a regal setting, right opposite the famous Bolshoi Ballet and with a direct line of sight to Red Square. The new owners have set themselves the goal of once again establishing the Metropol as the undisputed pinnacle of Russian hoteliery. In the process, they are trusting to the legendary professionalism of the Swiss luxury hotel segment and have appointed Michel Rey, former director of the Baur au Lac in Zurich, to chair the Board of Directors. The running of the hotel is also in Swiss hands: Dominique Godat, who spent more than 17 years at the helm of the internationally respected Kulm Hotel in St. Moritz, moved to Moscow as the Metropol‘s General Manager in Summer 2013.

库克香槟 感官交响 A SYMPHONY FOR THE SENSES.

By Renato Schweizer I Uwe Herzog Translation Louise Mawbey I Mark S. Kennedy

澎湃的激情、淋漓尽致的愉悦 感 — 这就是库克香槟的两个 重要特色。《奢华生活》杂志 采访了库克家族第六代掌门人 奥利佛·库克 (Olivier Kurg) 及其在兰斯(Reims)的酿酒团 队，希望此行能揭开这绝世美 酒背后的秘密。

葡萄园一直延展到视线的尽头。略有起伏的丘 陵地带，一排排的葡萄藤，在夏日的煦风中不 断焕发着生命力。这正是香槟产区的典型景 观。允许在此地种植的葡萄品种非常稀少，因 此它们也被称为“葡萄之王”，主要为莫尼耶皮 诺、黑比诺和霞多丽。尽管葡萄品种有限，尽 管地形延绵无际，但每一个葡萄园、每一根葡 萄藤、甚至是每一颗葡萄，都有着自己的特征。 最了解这种微妙差别的人，当属库克的首席酿 酒大师埃里克·莱贝尔(Eric Lebel)。他在成排 的葡萄藤中缓步前行，认真观察叶片的颜色和 品质，检查枝叶的修剪情况，时不时地从地面 上抓起一小把泥土，用手指轻搓着土壤的颗粒。 埃里克·莱贝尔解释道：“我们在选择葡萄 时，会将土地分成若干地块。有的地块甚至比花 园还要小，而且这些地块也没有高低之分。我 们的选择标准，不仅仅是葡萄的品质，而且，还 要寻找富有个性的葡萄，使它们在特征、味道 和品种方面，都可以呈现出复杂的对比效果。” Champagne

Passion and pleasure – these words are the key elements when it comes to describing champagne from the house of Krug.

Luxury Life MAGAZINE met Olivier Krug, the 6th generation of the family to run the company, and his team in Reims. We wanted to find out what the secret is behind the unique cuvées from Krug.

Olivier Krug

香槟产区中像这样的地块超过27万个。从这些 地块中，埃里克·莱贝尔和他的员工认真选择 出大约250个葡萄园，其出产的葡萄均为酿造 库克香槟的最佳原料。这种选料方法在业内显 得非常特别，也是库克香槟如此与众不同的秘 诀之一。

奥利佛·库克是这个香槟酿造家族的第六代掌 舵者，他手持一杯香槟向我讲述了该品牌的酿 酒理念。这位大师解释道：“一首优美的交响 乐需要由若干乐章共同组成，而我们的香槟交 响乐也是由多个元素组合在一起的杰作。在我 们的心中，每一种葡萄都是一个杰出的音乐 家，为整个乐团 — 也就是库克香槟的整体活力 贡献着自己的力量。”

一部分。本次库克2014庆典(Krug Celebration 2014)传递出的是一个奇妙的哲学概念：库克 董事长兼CEO马格瑞斯·瑞格斯(Margareth Henriquez)对之这样解释道：“香槟即音乐，音 乐即香槟”。因为香槟和音乐有一个共同的特 征：由多种元素组合而成，都需要漫长而耐心 的制作过程，才能实现其复杂的结构和感 受。”马格瑞斯·瑞格斯又补充道：“对于某一 种葡萄或者某一个和旋而言，没有一个整体的 组合，也就没有其存在的意义。一个好的作曲 家可以让音乐成为一场难忘的愉悦体验，就像 香槟。”指挥埃萨贝卡·萨隆恩携手爱乐乐 团，在各大国际音乐会中以满溢的热情和无懈 可击的完美，传达着这样的理念。 让我们再回到在巴黎东北部150公里处的兰 斯。这个城市拥有着显赫的历史，至少有33位 法国国王曾在此加冕。100多年前，来自法国 各地的400多名建筑师，将这个城市打造成艺 术装饰风格的现代中心。1945年，德国军队在 该市正式投降。20年后，也是在这里，法国总 统夏尔·戴高乐和德国总理康拉德·阿登纳签 署了德法和解协议，并以一杯库克香槟一笑泯 恩仇。从那以后，阿登纳每次访问法国，必会 品尝一瓶库克顶级香槟搭配新鲜牡蛎。 兰斯向来享有“香槟之都”的美誉。这座城市 出产的最著名香槟品牌中，有几个品牌的创始 人是德国移民。1843年，就在法国第一批香槟 88

necessarily just look for grand crus. But what we do look for is a range of grapes that is as rich in contrast as possible in terms of character, notes and diversity”.

The Champagne region boasts more than 270,000 plots of this kind. From these, Eric Lebel and his staff meticulously select approximately 250 vineyards whose grapes appear to be suitable for producing Krug champagne. This approach is unique within the industry – and also one of the secrets of the composition of a genuine Krug champagne.

Over a glass of cuvée, Olivier Krug, who inherited the champagne production from five preceding generations, tells us more about the philosophy behind the production process. “The symphony of our champagne is made up of several elements, just as a symphony in music is made up of several movements,” explained the patron. “We view each individual wine as if it is an excellent musician that contributes its individual character and its vitality

Margareth Henriquez, President and CEO at Krug

to the Krug champagne.”

However, selecting the plots, the vineyards and the grapes is just the first step. As Olivier Krug explains, “In the space of five months we taste approximately one thousand samples so that we can assess every one of these individual wines. Each wine is often tasted several times in the year in order to ensure that it is just the “musician” we need to perfect our symphony – the Krug Grande Cuvée.”

(Joseph Krug)离开德国的美因茨，来到兰斯。 他的理念与众不同。他并不想生产最热销的香 槟，而是心怀更远大的目标，那就是：打造全 世界最完美的极品香槟。奥利佛对他的前辈约 瑟夫·库克的生平进行了一番详细调查后发

cooperation with the French champagne house Krug – as part of a multi-media installation. “Krug Celebration 2014” is the expression of a grand philosophical concept: “Champagne is music – and music is champagne,” explains Margareth Henriquez, President and CEO at Krug. After all, both of them only achieve their complex structure and composition made up of multifaceted elements after a long, patient process. Margareth Henriquez adds, “One single grape or one single chord – they would be nothing without a composition. However a good composer is able to make music an unforgettable pleasure, just like champagne.”

Conductor Esa-Pekka Salonen and his Philharmonia Orchestra implement this philosophy with an enormous amount of passion and pure perfection in their joint series of international concerts.

Back to Reims, 150 kilometres north east of Paris. An illustrious city. No less than 33 French kings have been crowned here. A hundred years ago, 400 architects from all over France created a modern centre of art deco design. It was here that the German armed forces surrendered in 1945. And it was also in Reims that, two decades later, Charles De Gaulle and Konrad Adenauer embraced and sealed the German/French reconciliation with a glass of champagne from the house of Krug. From then on, all Adenauer’s state visits to France were accompanied by a bottle of Krug Grande Cuvée and a couple of fresh oysters.

Reims has always been known as the “champagne capital”.

And a few German immigrants are amongst the creators of the most well-known brands that originate from the city. In 1843, around one hundred years after the first champagne brands were founded in France, Joseph Krug left Mainz for Reims.

Krug was different. He did not want to produce the “best-selling” champagne. He was aiming much higher. He set about to create the “best champagne” in the world. Olivier has meticulously investigated the history of his ancestor Joseph Krug, who, from practically nothing, managed to bring into being one of the most successful luxury champagne houses in the world. “When my great, great, great grandfather Joseph gave up his very good job to found Krug, he knew he would not be the number 1 in terms of sales volume. He was aware that he wasn’t going to make a fortune. His only ambition and his overriding passion involved creating a genuinely great champagne that was pure pleasure for its drinkers, of the like never seen before.”

For Joseph Krug, individuality was everything. As Olivier Krug explains, “Although some ingredients were part of the same family of grapes, although they even grew in the same village or the same region, he specifically developed the individuality of each separate ingredient to achieve a greater variety and 90

richness when he blended them together.” Up until the present

Eric Lebel, Head Cellar Master

他的梦想也不是赚得盆满钵满。他唯一的心 愿、也是他全部热情之所在，就是打造出一个 真正传载史册的香槟品牌，让品尝者获得从未 有过的纯粹愉悦感受。”

对于约瑟夫·库克而言，个性就是一切。正如 奥利弗·库克所说：即使是同一葡萄品种、生 长在同一乡村或地区，约瑟夫都会挖掘出每种 葡萄的个性特征。当把这些葡萄混合在一起 时，才有可能打造出更富有差异性、内涵更丰 富的香槟。”如今的库克依旧秉承着这饱满的 热情，继续打造精致绝伦的美酒佳酿，为我们 呈现与众不同的愉悦感和醇郁感受。库克品牌 旗下的几款名品包括：库克罗曼尼钻石香槟 (Krug Clos de Mesnil)、库克安邦内黑钻香槟 (Krug Clos d’Ambonnay)、库克年份香槟 (Krug Vintage)、库克陈年香槟和库克粉红香槟 (Krug Rosé)，它们都有着同样的顶级品质，都 融入了同样浓度的关注和激情。因此，一瓶库 克香槟的价值正是源自其珍稀的品质，每一瓶 都与众不同，每一瓶都拥有着醒目的自我特 征，其醇郁的口感注定会为你带来最愉悦的品 酒感受。

奥利佛·库克小心翼翼地翻阅着一本深红色真 皮镶边的记事本，他说：“这可能是库克家族 最重要的家庭宝藏”。在这个古老的本子中，

约瑟夫·库克在170年前以古老的德语字体记 录了他的“完美香槟”梦想。奥利佛·库克还 透露了其悠久家族历史中另外一个秘密。约瑟 夫·库克设计出一套特别的香槟酿造工艺，他 所使用的方法可谓前无古人。比如，我们家族 有一个被称作“图书馆“的葡萄收藏，在每年 收获的优质葡萄中，他会将其中的30% —50% 保存起来。由于有了这些来自不同年份的葡 萄，每年在酿酒的过程中，就可以从“图书 馆”中选取一些在本年度不可能获取的原料。 如果没有这个独特的葡萄图书馆，我们就不可 能年复一年地实现我们的目标：在人类能力之 极限，酿造表现力最丰富的香槟。在所有库克 香槟中，库克陈年香槟是唯一可以每年出新品 的一款，一解该品牌追随者的心中所愿。

对于库克品牌而言，时间并不重要。库克陈年 香槟堪称高档香槟的典范之作，其整体的酿造 过程至少需要20年，酿造地点就位于兰斯市中 心的库克波特大街(Rue Coquebert)。这款香 槟以140多种葡萄为原料，来自十多个乡村， 包括多年前收获的葡萄，最早为15年前。正是 这种多年份葡萄的完美结合，才让库克陈年香 槟拥有无以伦比、丰富多彩的香气和味道。如 此悠广的香气，如此纯粹的优雅感受，是单一 年份葡萄无法实现的至高境界。库克陈年香槟 通常在二月开始混酿，在兰斯的香槟酒窖中储 存至少6年后再进行精炼。除了采用多年份葡萄 酿造的精品，库克也会推出用单一年份葡萄制 成的高品质香槟。这些限量版的年份葡萄酒经 常会在拍卖中以高价拍出，使用库克自有葡萄 园（安邦内和罗曼尼）的果实酿造的年份葡萄 酒，尤其受到人们的欢迎。在这里，我们的编 辑向您提供一条小贴士：品尝这“全世界最美 味的香槟酒”时，一定要使用酒具品牌力多 (Riedel)专为库克设计的“约瑟夫(Joseph)” 玻璃杯。这款玻璃杯会把一瓶“真正库克”佳 酿所拥有的全部力量感和情感，淋漓尽致地展 示出来。

day, Krug still works with the passion of its founder to create prestige cuvées only, which are unparalleled in terms of pleasure and generosity: Krug Clos de Mesnil, Krug Clos d’Ambonnay, Krug Vintage, Krug Grande Cuvée and Krug Rosé. All the cuvées share the same top quality and are composed with the same combination of care and passion. The value of a champagne from Krug is therefore based on its rarity – bottle for bottle. All Krug champagnes are outstanding in their own right and their generosity is the perfection of the concept of pleasure.

Olivier Krug carefully browses through the dark red leatherbor-dered notebook of his ancestor. 170 years ago, in what is “possibly the Krugs’ most important family treasure,” Joseph Krug recorded his vision of a “perfect champagne” in old German handwriting. And then Olivier Krug reveals another secret of the long family tradition. “Joseph Krug devised his own particular rules for champagne production and implemented methods that no one had ever used before. For example, he decided to put 30 to 50 per cent of his best ingredients aside each year in order to build up what we call the “library” of reserve wines. Every year he was therefore able to take from the “library” what the current year itself did not have to offer. Without this enormous “library” of various wines we would not be able to create the richest expression of champagne that is humanly possible, year after year.” Krug Grande Cuvée is the only prestige cuvée which is created anew each year for aficionados of the brand.

Time is of no importance at the house of Krug. It takes no fewer than 20 years to produce a bottle of Krug Grande Cuvée – the quintessence of savoir-faire that is practised here on the Rue Coquebert in the centre of Reims. The assemblage comprises up to 140 wines from ten or more different vintages, some of which can be as much as 15 years old. It is only this exceptional combination of so many vintages that gives the Krug Grande Cuvée its unique richness of fragrances and aromas, its unbelievable range of flavours and its pure elegance – something that is impossible to produce from wines from a single vintage.

After the assemblage, which always takes place in February, the Krug Grande Cuvée is stored for at least another six years in the champagne cellars in Reims and is then refined again. In addition to this, the Krug range also includes excellent champagnes that are produced from just a single vintage. Limited vintages in particular from Krug’s own vineyards Clos du Mesnil or Ambonnay attract top prices at auction. And a tip from our editor – always enjoy the “best champagne in the world” from the “Joseph” glass designed by Riedel especially for this champagne. This glass allows all the strength and emotion that characterise a “genuine Krug” to unfurl.

泰国口语中的“我在吃饭”是Kin Khao，文绉绉 的说法则是Tan Khao。其字面意思是“我在吃 大米饭。”这里的“大米饭”其实就是所有食 物的统称，之所以这么表达，是因为几乎所有 泰式菜肴都离不开稻米。稻米又称泰国的香 米，主要产于泰国中部和南部地区，北部和东 北部地区则更喜欢吃糯米。泰语中关于食物的

(1804-1868) travelled abroad a great deal and thus introduced the custom of eating with a spoon and fork at court.

This soon became accepted practice throughout the entire country. The fork is used to push the food onto the spoon in small portions. Thais view putting the fork itself in your mouth as being unrefined. Chopsticks are actually only used for Chinese food. However, to eat the noodle soups which are popular throughout Thailand, the spoon is held in the left hand (for the liquid) and chopsticks in the right (to eat the solid ingredients).

Water is the central element in Thailand. Therefore, aquatic animals and plants used to be served as the main components.

As the centuries went on, Thai food became strongly influenced

by Chinese, Indian and European dishes. The different styles fused into a unique national cuisine. Today, large amounts of fresh vegetables grown in the rural areas and meat from cattle farming play an important role. In the 17th century, Portuguese missionaries brought the first chilli plants to Thailand – and this

is actually totally immaterial, as rice plays a part in almost all Thai dishes. Devotees of jasmine rice, also known as fragrant rice, are mainly to be found in the central region and in the south of Thailand. In contrast, glutinous rice is eaten more in the north and north east of the country.

每个角落都洋溢着亲切的气氛。菜品丰富的菜 单也有着同样的特色。除了泰餐，度假村里的意 大利餐馆也颇令人欣喜。远离意大利几千公里 之外，能够在此品尝到正宗意大利菜，实属不 易。饭店有自己的菜园，厨师制作沙拉的原料 均新鲜采摘于此。店内供应的莫扎里拉水牛奶 酪，也出自一位居住在泰国的意大利人之手。

度假村中最具特色的活动，要算是乘船从甲米 出发，造访大约150公里之外的小岛，这些岛屿 在地平线上若隐若现，恍若人间仙境一般。如 果你入住五星级的索菲特佛基拉(Sofitel Krabi) 酒店，还有机会乘坐舒适豪华的快艇，享受与众 不同的自然一日游。小岛上迎接你的将是一次 精致丰盛的野餐，安达曼海的壮美风光环绕四 周，不远处就是普吉岛。就在这南部小岛上，我 们的泰国美食之旅也圆满结束了。但是，当我 再次漫步在甲米的街道和集市上时，看着那些 亲切的小贩在街边排挡中烹饪的香辣美味，这 巨大的诱惑实在是让人无法抗拒。好吧……就 再享受一次！

Yde Anderson, traditional Thai dishes are reinterpreted in a new, contem-porary context – such as pickled mushrooms with shredded coconut and coriander, mild mackerel salad with herbs and soya beans, and tuna tartare. The wine list, which is selected to perfectly complement exotic creations such as this, rounds off the extraordinary culinary experience.

We then move on to Krabi, to the boutique resort “The Tubkaak”, located in a stunning, tranquil bay. From the enchanting gardens, adorned with their many small pools, to the bouquets of flowers on the restaurant terrace, every detail is considered and lovingly presented, no matter how small. This also applies to the wide variety of food served. In addition to the Thai dishes, “The Tubkaak” also boasts an excellent Italian restaurant. It is not that easy to cook “genuine Italian food” thousands of kilometres away from Italy. The chef harvests the rocket for the salad himself from the restaurant’s own garden and the buffalo mozzarella is produced by an Italian living in Thailand.

An absolute highlight is one of the boat trips from Krabi to some of the approximately 150 limestone islands which emerge

On the island, an exquisite gourmet picnic awaits, set against the backdrop of the breathtaking Andaman Sea, not far away from Phuket.

Here, in the south, our culinary journey through Thailand comes to an end. As I stroll for a while through the streets and markets of Krabi once again, the small, friendly hot food stands, with their aromatic delicacies, draw me to them against my will.

Mmmm ... just one more time!
