Is France the gold standard when it comes to wine? Of course it is. If you’re French. You’d think they invented the stuff. It has to said that their wine styles did take over the world, and while the rest of us have imitated and replicated the beloved wines of Burgundy, Bordeaux, the Rhône, the Loire, Champagne, et al. and made expressions every bit as interesting, the original, the benchmark, the genesis of great grape growing, winemaking and production really did begin in France. There, we’ve said it. In France, ‘terroir’ rules; it’s all about where you’ve grown your grapes and the quality of the fruit to be found in that region. The wines are labelled to reflect this ethos, with region generally taking pride of place over all other factors. Glengarry have been importing French wines into New Zealand for decades, which means that we’ve had the time to become experts. What sets us apart is the sheer amount of years we’ve spent honing our skills, expanding our ranges, reviewing our procedures, fostering relationships with our suppliers and refining our shipping techniques to ensure that the wines get to you in perfect condition. So dive on in and experience new depths of joy and understanding. With your new-found know-how, you’ll be winning friends and influencing people in no time at all.

Krug has been savoured by champagne lovers for almost 200 years. The arrival of the new Krug Grande Cuvée heralds the 166th edition since the house’s inception in 1843. A blend of 120+ wines from ten or more different vintages, its exceptional finesse is the result of a stay of at least six years in the cellars. The blending of multiple vintages gives the Grande Cuvée its unique generosity of flavour and an elegance impossible to express via a single year. In 2011 they introduced the Krug ID on the label, where information about blend and disgorgement is able to be retrieved from their website or via a Krug app.

In places like the UK and New York, many of the top wine lists are now 100% Grower champagnes, family enterprises, often stretching back over generations, who own their own vineyards in the heart of the Champagne appellation, from where they grow the grapes to make their own wine, often bottling it on the premises as well. If it’s individuality and character you’re after, the Grower champagnes have that in spades. Lacking the gargantuan resources of the big players, they are more reliant on the characters to be found within particular vintages and locations, and some would say they are all the better for it.

SARGET DE GRUAUD -LAROSE
SAINT- JULIEN 2014 $59.99 CASE OF 12 $54.99 A BOTTLE
Château Gruaud-Larose is consistently one of Saint-Julien’s best. Its second wine is intense but charming, luxuriant aromatics of preserved plums and bold cassis across a vibrant, deliciously smooth palate.
Reinforced by its imposing châteaux, the aristocratic Bordeaux holds court at the centre of France’s vinous universe. It is indeed the largest AOC area in France, with a staggering 86,000ha of vineyard plantings and around 60 million cases produced annually. When combined with the peerless pedigree of the world famous reds, the whites of Graves and the seductive Sauternes make this a region you cannot ignore.

CHÂTEAU HAUT PINGAT
BORDEAUX 2015 $16.99 CASE OF 6 $14.99 A BOTTLE
With its 80-plus appellations, the Loire is a treasure trove of vinous expressions, from the Sauvignon Blanc-derived, smoky, mineral-tinged Sancerre and aromatic, steely-flavoured PouillyFumé to the equally eminent wines of Vouvray, fashioned from Chenin Blanc and ranging from austere to opulent. The Loire offers a quality/bargain metric that, quite frankly, nowhere else in France can match. The best expressions taste like a million bucks, and cost a fraction of that.
An attractive, easy-drinking Bordeaux that’s ready for some informal consumption. Spicy and rounded with fine tannins, juicy acidity and plenty of blackcurrant fruitiness. Excellent value. 41147

VOUVRAY DEMI-SEC 2014 $19.99 PASCAL JOLIVET SANCERRE BL ANC 2016 $34.99
The oyster-shelled terroir that is one of the key components in Chablis’ unique profile is now protected by law, as enshrined and important to the wines as the marginal and northerly aspect of Chablis’ location. Only one variety counts here, and that is Chardonnay, which thrives in the same chalk soils that run through Champagne. Chablis is indeed Chardonnay in one of its purest expressions, the deliciously lean styles unmistakeable in their provenance and restraint.
NICOLAS POTEL, DOMAINE DE BELLENE
The wines produced from this stretch of vinous real estate are among the world’s greatest. The only simple thing about Burgundy is that if it’s red it’s Pinot Noir or Gamay, and if it’s white it’s Chardonnay, and from there on it gets trickier. Inheritance laws have seen vineyards divided into ever smaller family parcels, and within a sea of small producers, it is not uncommon for a single vineyard to have numerous owners.

The brilliant Jean-François Bordet is the 13th generation in the family business. His entry level wine is vibrant and richly flavoured, boasting a refined palate of crisp flavours and fresh, tingling mineral notes. 40475

The Rhône twists and turns down the map in a sinewy slalom of picturesque villages and steeply terraced vineyards, in the north offering up some of Syrah’s finest expressions. The south plays host to Grenache and the Rhône’s peerless blended wines, Vacqueyras, Vinsobres and Châteauneuf-du-Pape. In between are the rushing red rivers of generic, great-value Côtes du Rhône wines. While 95% of Rhône production is red, there is delight to be found in the floral fragrances of a Muscat Beaumes-de-Venise or the lush apricot and crème frâiche nuances of a Condrieu.

FRANKSTEIN G.CRU PINOT GRIS 2014 $39.99
Down along France’s southern coast, where the Mediterranean leans enticingly into the Golfe du Lion, the restrictions of the Appellation Contrôlée system in general give way to a freedom around vine cultivation. The benign climate delivers long, sunny days for ripening, while a moderating coastal influence keeps much disease at bay. Formerly known for its cheap bulkstyle approach, the current wave of winemakers are more intent on quality and extolling the attributes of their terroir.
The French may not have invented wine, but they have pioneered practically every conceivable style, and in doing so have set the benchmark for quality and influenced winemakers throughout the world. And as with the likes of Italy and Spain, they have an innate understanding that wine is a companion to food. Though the French are inextricably linked with wine, they have at the same time created a diverse range of alternative alcoholic beverages offering a wide variety of aromatic flavours and rich textures. From the controversial Absinthe to the regal cognacs, their spirits and liqueurs have stamped their dominance on the world. The likes of calvados, vermouth and pastis can be enjoyed as aperitifs to stimulate the palate either prior to or after a meal.

One of the stars of the Languedoc, Puech-Haut was established from scratch by the expansive Gérard Bru. Vineyards are organically managed, with old olive trees and truffles also in residence. As is art, in the form of more than a hundred hand-painted barrels – the Bib’Art Collection – exchanged with an growing group of artists for an equivalent quantity of wine. Puech-Haut has earned glowing accolades, including this from The Wine Advocate: ‘One of the top estates in the Languedoc, if not southern France.’

PETER ROBERTSON
Although we can only boast a short lifespan as a wine-producing nation (dang those French), some amongst us are working very hard to create the foundations of a worthy history. Established in 1937, Brookfields is Hawkes Bay’s oldest boutique winery. It was purchased in 1977 by winemaker Peter Robertson and his wife Sharon, and they have diligently transformed it into one of Hawkes Bay’s leading producers. The Brookfields rep has been forged on its outstanding reds and its Chardonnay, but Peter also produces some very accomplished aromatic styles. Long an admirer of the Alsatian approach, he was delighted to discover the Pinot Gris growing in his Ohiti Estate was an authentic Alsace clone. Brookfields have some of the oldest Pinot Gris vines in Hawkes Bay, and Peter was developing his undeniable skill with the variety long before it attained its current popularity.

The launch of the micro-distillery Sipsmith in 2009 was something of an historic occasion for British gin distillation, it being the first copper pot distillery established in London in almost 200 years. The distillery was the brainchild of Sam Galsworthy and Fairfax Hall, amateur gin drinkers with a burning desire to be professional gin drinkers. The pair teamed up with master distiller Jared Brown to pursue their passion for handmade spirits. The small batch Sipsmith gins use three different stills, and yes, the stills are named Constance, Prudence and Patience. Every batch is hand-crafted with premium Juniper and botanical ingredients, the distillate diluted with pure water to bottling strength by the traditional one-shot method. Uncompromising, these gentlemen are, and obviously completely obsessed.

Founded by Samuel Smith in 1849, the Barossa Valley’s Yalumba is Australia’s oldest family winery and very much at the forefront of premium wine production in Australia. Fiercely independent and determinedly progressive, it has, arguably more than any other wine company, expanded the boundaries of Australian wine production. Yalumba’s philosophy is rooted in a steadfast commitment to quality at every stage of production from vineyard to bottle, exemplified by its creation of a vine nursery that constantly evaluates and researches clone selection, root stock and grafting. Yalumba is also the only winery in the Southern Hemisphere with its own-on site cooperage. This deservedly lauded producer delivers consistent quality at every price point.
