— Château Latour If sipping elegant wines, visiting benchmark vineyards, dining on the most sumptuous gourmet delights in elegant restaurants and relaxing in grand and private retreats sounds tempting, then Bordeaux in southwest France is the place to holiday. Enjoy one luxurious week of discovering the world’s premiere wine region in absolute luxury with the people who know Bordeaux best, Quintessentially Travel. In addition to Bordeaux, France is also home to other great wine producing regions such as Burgundy, Beaujolais, the Rhône Valley and Champagne and visits to these destinations can also be arranged. MADE FOR WINES - It is hard for any wine expert to talk about French wines without weaving ‘terroir’ into the conversation, and like many foreign words, there is not one word in English that sums up ‘terroir’. Without it though, French wines (or any others, for that matter) would not be what they are. Wines are like many other products, in that they are made in a variety of ways and in many parts of the world. Like a chemical formula, if one of the ingredients is altered, the finished product changes. So terroir is the sum total of all the natural ingredients that contribute to coming together, to produce what is presented as wine in the bottle – the climate, the aspect, the slope, the soil, the geology and the grape varieties used are all vital ingredients. No two wine producing areas are the same, so Merlot grapes grown in Bordeaux produce a slightly different wine to those harvested in say, Margaret River, Western Australia. Of course, this is the great appeal of appreciating wines, in that every bottle of wine opened is different to every other bottle. It is possible to admire the same varieties grown in different parts of the world and also appreciate the influence the winemaker has in producing different wines from the same varieties. Most Bordeaux winemakers would argue that they are merely ‘custodians’ of the terroir, and that nature makes the greatest contribution to the finished product. Terroir is such an essential ingredient in premium French wines that wine labels make reference to location, more so than grape variety. While this frustrates most New World wine connoisseurs, the French happily enjoy their wines based on knowing the location as well as the grape variety. The finest wines are generally labelled according to the specific vineyard, and understanding French wines can be as much a lesson in geography as oenology. ➢ SEPT/OCT 2013 | TA 65
