Beaujolais is a historical province and a wine-producing region in central eastern France, located north of Lyon and south of Macon and covering parts of the north of the Rhône department (Rhône-Alpes) as well as parts of the south of the Saône-et-Loire department (Burgundy). Administratively the Beaujolais is in Rhône but as a wine region parts of it fall under Burgundy in Saone and Loire.

Provence is a wine region in the far south-eastern corner of France, best known for the quality of its rosé wines and for its warm, mild climate. The region remains dominated by the crisp, refreshing rosé that has earned it an international reputation.

Compass Room | Thursday 15 April

Graham’s has always been a pioneer. Graham’s was one of the first Port companies to invest in its own vineyards in Portugal’s Douro Valley in 1890 and is now at the cutting edge of innovation in winemaking techniques.

William and John Graham originally founded their firm in Porto in northwest Portugal to trade in textiles. In 1820 they accepted 27 barrels of Port as payment for a debt. The two brothers decided then to devote their energies to making the best Port wines from the Douro Valley: and so the Graham’s Port house was born.

Graham’s first harvest under the ownership of the Symington family was extremely auspicious, with Graham’s 1970 Vintage Port being declared. The 1970 is thought by many to be one of the greatest wines of that century. Today, five Symington cousins share responsibility for every aspect of the company and personally make the Graham’s wines. They too have been involved with Port and the Douro for many generations, with ancestry dating back to the mid-17th century.

RESCHEDULED

Côte d’Or Wine Dinner

Compass Room | Friday 30 April

Côte d’Or means Golden Slope. The Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune are called Côte d’Or together and are historically considered the most important regions in Burgundy.

The Côte de Nuits is ‘famous for Pinot Noir’. The wines show classic full-bodied Burgundy notes of black currant, cherry, fresh red fruits, and earthy mushroom and spice. Offerings in the Premier Cru category can be good buys, as well and perfect for special occasions.

The Côte de Beaune is ‘known for rich Chardonnay’ – named after the medieval village that is the heart of wine commerce in Burgundy – the wine from this region is quite different from that of its neighbour, Côte de Nuits, to the north. The whites are filled with aromas of soft white flowers, dried grasses, fresh apple and pear, and sometimes a touch of hazelnut. There are many amazing red wines too, with flavours of plum, cherrystone, white tobacco, and that Burgundian signature earthy minerality and good acidity.
