冬末初春的隆河谷期酒开盘
Rhone 2010 - En Primeur Offer
BBR公司现在隆重推出非常棒的隆河谷期酒系列，它可以跟波尔多与布根地相比美。
今年我们特别介绍来自Chateauneuf–du-Pape（教皇新堡）产区的三个非常出名的酒庄，包括：
Domaine de la Janasse（加纳斯酒庄）， Clos St Jean（圣简酒庄）和Domaine Marcoux （玛可酒庄），
同样热列欢迎Cros de la Mure 回归 Domaine Alain Voge酒庄。所有隆河谷的人都为这个高贵的时刻呼欢叫好。
2010年隆河谷已生产了多款经典的期酒，单宁与酸度可以比美波尔多，酒体纯度一流清澈， Marc Sorrel形容2010的罗纳葡萄酒会超越2009的葡萄酒，因为尽管2010年罗纳葡萄酒生产的总量不及2009年，但是其质量却远超2009。
古典和贵族弥漫的葡萄酒，David and Claude 作了最精确的艺术比较，并得到了vins de garde的肯定，同时引述了Nick Thompson的评价，强健而有活力的葡萄酒，圆滑而平易近人，有着不容置疑的陈年潜力。

如下是BBR的特别推荐：
2010 Gigondas, La Terre Des A?nés, Domaine Montirius
每箱 60 英鎊（6支/箱） GBP 60 Per case （6 x 75cl）
Medium-Full Bodied, Dry, Red, Southern Rh?ne Blend, For laying down, Organic (Certified), Biodynamic (Certified), 15%
alc. Wines Lying in Barrel , Not available for delivery.
Rhone 2010 Berrys' Best Buys - Southern Belles
Domaine Montirius is an impeccable biodynamic estate that produces wines of brilliant richness and depth with the
characteristic notes of Proven?al herb and personality. This is really great quality at a really great price.
(Stuart Rae, BBR Fine Wine)
More elegant than previously, this cuvée, which is made up of 80% old-vine Grenache and 20% Mourvèdre, still boasts
astonishing concentration and very powerful tannins, so fear not those who love robust Gigondas with their game dishes. I think
the tannin management is better than ever this year and beyond all the power and glory there is a purity and focus which is
extremely impressive!
(Simon Field MW, BBR Buyer, February 2012)
Christine and Eric Saurel own 60 hectares mostly on the Plateau des Garrigues which overlooks the villages of Vacqueyras and
Sarrains, all of which they have farmed on biodynamic principles for an incredible 16 years. Blue and monmorate ‘petrus’
clay soils contribute to the astonishing flavours coaxed from these old vines. Christine describes her goals in terms of
‘luminosité’, an intangible and almost ethereal term yet one which seems strangely appropriate and which can only be
properly explained by tasting the wines themselves, which are a far cry from traditional styles from these villages.
2010 Vinsobres Rouge, Domaine Chaume Arnaud
每箱 102 英鎊（12支/箱） GBP 102 Per case （12 x 75cl）
Medium Bodied, Dry, Red, Other Varieties, Ready, but will improve, 14.5% alc. Wines Lying in Barrel , Not available for
delivery.
Rhone 2010 Berrys' Best Buys - Best Value RedsOrganically managed, this is a traditional red Rh?ne blend of Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Carignan and a touch of Cinsault.
Delicious black fruit, spice, and earthy notes combine to produce a very enticing glass of wine, which is an absolute steal at this
price.
(Sara Guiducci, BBR Fine Wine)
A Grenache Syrah Mourvedre blend, that is to say one made up of pretty much equal parts of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre;
piercing aromatics of violets and dark fruit, then black fruit, crushed rock and hedgerow flavours, firm acidity and silky tannins.
The elegance comes from the altitude of the vines; the Syrah lends an almost Northern Rh?ne character, unsurprising, in a sense,
as Vinsobres is located at the northerly end of the south as it were!
(Simon Field MW, BBR Buyer, February 2012)
The elevation to Cru status of the appropriately lofty vineyards of Vinsobres came in recognition of the quality of its soils and
the distinctive elegance of its wines. Philippe is both a vigneron of merit and a highl-respected rugby union coach. It must
therefore be a source of great pride that one of his sons, Thibaud, is now showing great skill in the winery whilst the other,
Rafael has just won a place in the Clermont Ferrand First Fifteen. The wines are even more impressive than usual, possibly
because the Domaine is about to be accorded full biodynamic certification...
2010 Crozes-Hermitage, Les Trois Chênes, Domaine Emmanuel Darnaud
每箱 132 英鎊（12支/箱） GBP 132 Per case （12 x 75cl）
Medium-Full Bodied, Dry, Red, Syrah/Shiraz, Ready, but will improve, 13.5% alc. Wines Lying in Barrel , Not available for delivery.
Rhone 2010 Berrys' Best Buys - Best Value Reds
The energetic Emmanuel Darnaud has (yet again!) brought together the essence of Crozes-Hermitage with the complex
influences of three sizes of barrel to produce a marvellous wine which delights the senses in every way.
(Gary Owen, BBR Fine Wine)
The name of the cuvée refers to the fact that the fruits of the different vineyards are matured differently; in 2010 50% was in
new or 1 year-old barrel, 30% in tronconique and the balance in older barrique. The assemblage has an attractive nose
dominated by tapenade, wood-smoke and blackberry fruit; on the palate there are additional notes of pepper and spice. The
sweetness of the fruit is thus nicely complemented and the ensemble is harmonious.
(Simon Field MW, BBR Buyer, February 2012)
There is a definite ‘pecking-order’ amongst the growers of the relatively homogenised appellation of Crozes-Hermitage,
which often remains relatively unchanged over generations. One name to emerge over the last five years, however, is that
Emmanuel Darnaud, who by a combination of skilful acquisition, a judicious marriage and, it seems, non-stop talking, has now
joined the first rank. His boundless enthusiasm led him down a few futile wine-making roads in the early days, but now
everything has settled down and the results are impressive indeed.
2010 Chateauneuf du Pape, Cuvée Prestige Domaine Roger Sabon
每箱 138 英鎊（6支/箱） GBP 138 Per case （6 x 75cl）
Full Bodied, Dry, Red, Southern Rh?ne Blend, For laying down, 15% alc. Wines Lying in Barrel , Not available for delivery.
Rhone 2010 Berrys' Best Buys - Star Performers in Chateauneuf-du-Pape
Roger Sabon always produces Chateauneufdu- Pape on the more elegant side and in 2010 he has combined this elegance with
verve, vibrancy and focus. Beneath this is a depth and complexity of fruit which combines beautifully to produce a true vin de
garde.
(Gary Owen, BBR Fine Wine)
An embarrassment of cépages here; cast in order of appearance is Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Counoise and Vaccarese. Aged
in a combination of new and older foudre, this is a dense and exceptionally powerful wine, with something of 2005 in its tannic
structure, but a fruit profile which is more closely reminiscent of 2007. Blackberry confit, bacon rind and forest floor...it sounds
like an odd combination, but it certainly works!
(Simon Field MW, BBR Buyer, February 2012)
Didier Negron is the son-in-law of Jean-Jacques Sabon, who tragically died at the end of 2011 after a long illness. Didier is
now the chief winemaker at this increasingly impressive property.. He certainly talks the talk, fluently in English as we found
out latterly, but to no great surprise, given his ability elsewhere. Owning 15 parcels across 17 hectares over the appellation,
Domaine Sabon produce four cuvées of red, the most famous of which is seen as one of the very best wines in Chateauneuf-du-Pape. The secret is out!
2010 St Joseph Rouge, Silice, Domaine Coursodon
每箱 156 英鎊（12支/箱） GBP 156 Per case （12 x 75cl）
Medium-Full Bodied, Dry, Red, Syrah/Shiraz, Ready, but will improve, 14% alc. Wines Lying in Barrel , Not available
for delivery.
Rhone 2010 Berrys' Best Buys - The Angels of the North
This wine offers outstanding value from the Northern Rh?ne-an area which excelled in 2010. Beautifully pitched; the fruit is
generous and bright, there’s plenty of texture and depth to the palate, but also a silky elegance throughout.
(Martyn Rolph, BBR Fine Wine)
Rich, fleshy but with very refined and supple tannins. Only 5% of new oak is employed but the wine is polished and dense with
damson and morello cherry vying for attention.
(Simon Field MW, BBR Buyer, February 2012)
Jér?me Coursodon’s reputation continues to soar. Ideally placed vineyards and a perspective which inclines towards
perfectionism have both helped him on his way. Add to that the extraordinary natural benevolence of the vintage, and his
legacy seems secure. It is fantastic to see such a famous old estate performing so well.
2010 St Péray, Les Cerfs, Domaine Yves Cuilleron
每箱 174 英鎊（12支/箱） GBP 174 Per case （12 x 75cl）
Medium Bodied, Dry, White, White Rh?ne Blend, Ready, but will keep, 13% alc.
Rhone 2010 Berrys' Best Buys - Best Value Whites
Made with 100% Marsanne, from south west facing slopes in the heart of St Péray, this is a perfect mid-week wine and a great
combination with white meats.
(Sara Guiducci, BBR Fine Wine)
100% Marsanne from old-vine granitic slopes, aged in 30% new barrels, the rest second to fifth fill. Agrume, beeswax,
pears and hints of verbena; a most pleasing concoction which is both refreshing and deeply satisfying, a combination at which
venerable Marsanne seems to excel.
Simon Field MW, BBR Buyer, February 2012
Our visit to Yves this year, despite its first-after-lunch graveyard slot, was one of the best of them all. Perhaps it was a
fruit day! The wines were singing and Yves was composed and confident, clearly very happy with the vintage. For him the long
ripening season of 2010, with its significant diurnal temperature variations, was the key to quality. The vigneron’s Grand
Master chess skills were fully exercised in the decision of when to harvest… a tricky decision of course, each plot being
different, but now, finally I understand the purpose of each of the many varied cuvées in the range and there appears to be some
stability and a real sense of purpose in the winemaking….and not too much new oak now…..The enfant terrible has really come
of age…
2010 Vinsobres, Vieilles Vignes, Les Hauts de Julien, La Famille Perrin
每箱 216 英鎊（12支/箱） GBP 216 Per case （12 x 75cl）
Full Bodied, Dry, Red, Southern Rh?ne Blend, For laying down, Organic (Certified), 14% alc. Wines Lying in Barrel , Not
available for delivery.
Rhone 2010 Berrys' Best Buys - Southern Belles
This is wonderful quality wine from the masters of the Southern Rh?ne wines, the Perrin family. This seems expensive for a
“lowly” Vinsobres, but a whiff of the wine in the glass tells you it’s anything but. It is full, rich, spicy and delicious,
so in fact, great value for money!
(Chris Pollington, BBR Fine Wine)
The name Vinsobres, with its oxymoronic meaning, is easy to remember, and so it should be, as its fruits are amongst the purest
and most elegant in the whole valley. Recognising potential, the Perrins have invested heavily here and this wine is, as a result a
worthy flag-bearer for the village.
Simon Field MW, BBR Buyer, February 2012
2010 Condrieu, Domaine Christophe Pichon
每箱 240 英鎊（12支/箱） GBP 240 Per case （12 x 75cl）
Medium-Full Bodied, Dry, White, Viognier, Ready, but will improve, 12.5% alc. Wines Lying in Barrel , Not available for
delivery.
Rhone 2010 Berrys' Best Buys - Best Value Whites
Showing lifted aromatics of peach, orange blossom and spiced pear, this is rich, expressive and very well made. The oak and
acidity are well judged and it is a very fine example.
(Martyn Rolph, BBR Fine Wine)
Sourced from four hectares at the Chavanay-end of the appellation, this Condrieu is 75% fermented in stainless steel, the
balance in barrels of one to five years of age. The tension between the two is echoed in the wine itself, a pleasing interplay of
saline minerality and rich viscosity, richness that is not too showy, in tune with the times.
(Simon Field MW, BBR Wine Buyer, February 2012)
Christophe and Isabelle Pichon, apart from the rigours of bringing up six young children, also farm 10 hectares spread over the
appellations of C?te-R?tie, Condrieu and St Joseph. The wines have improved dramatically over the last few years, the drama
being all the more compelling as they were pretty good to start with. Minimum intervention, cold soaks and judicious oak all play
their part in instilling focus and a sense of place.
