Compass Room | Friday 18 June
Bourgogne, referring to the French Wine region of Burgundy, is the second most prominent region in France for red wine after Bordeaux. The classic, Old World wines from Burgundy are considered benchmarks for the rest of the world, while the primary focus of Burgundy’s production is Pinot Noir for Bourgogne Rouge and Chardonnay for Bourgogne Blanc. The Bourgogne wine region is in the eastern part of Central France, including regions – Chablis, Côte de Nuits, Côte de Beaune, Côte Chalonnaise, Mâconnais. 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. Join us for a night of selected great wines paired-up for a little wine journey.

Offer extended!
Spoil your Dad with world-famous Perrier-Jouet Champagne.
‘Influential in the world of bubbly for more than two centuries, Perrier-Jouët was associated quality with season and terroir before “minerality” was cool; and just a few decades into production – we’re talking the 1830s here – the house decided to drastically reduce the residual sugar in its wines, essentially setting the stage for the dry Champagne we drink today.’

Wine of the Month
Pieropan Soave Classico DOC 2019, Veneto, Italy
The delicate nose is reminiscent of almond blossoms and marzipan; good depth of fruit on the palate, nicely balanced by a zingy acidity that enhances its long length. [Suggested food pairing: soup and starter, vegetable based dishes such as asparagus, peas, courgette, egg-based dishes, seafood and fresh water fish]
$348 per bottle
Thibault Liger-Belair Successeurs Bourgogne “Les Deux Terres” 2017, Burgundy, France
This wine presents aromas of warm spicy oak, blackberries and truffles. Lively plum, cherry, and raspberry notes are balanced by a savoury core with hints of nutmeg. Velvety tannins and bright acidity structure the wine beautifully, for good length of palate and overall harmony. [Suggested food pairing: roast birds, wild game, foraged mushrooms, veal stews, grilled fleshy fish and cheese suah as Epoisse]
