108 THE IDEAL WINE LIST For some reason many wine lists on yachts are fairly similar to one another. I doubt there are many stewards, stewardesses or captains who have never heard of Domaine Ott, Baron de L, Tignanello or Louise Latour. These are all great producers but there is a plenty more out there to choose from and an experienced charter guest might be pretty bored of finding similar selections on offer time after time. Creating an individual and interesting wine list is an opportunity to show your commitment and expertise to your clients. RIVIERA WINE THE IDEAL WINE LIST
THE ESSENTIALS A wine list for the yachting industry should include classic regions and producers with historic reputations. The top First Growths from Bordeaux are important, as well as certain Grand Crus and Premieres Crus from Burgundy. However you should include other regions and countries, or more small interesting producers with a story to tell. It can be a pleasant surprise for a guest to discover a list of carefully selected wines. Small biodynamic or organic producers who have an uncompromised vision for quality and authenticity can be a nice addition. Also unknown wines that have received high scores from highly acclaimed wine critic Robert Parker or Wine Spectator are good to include. Think about what’s trendy in the world of wine when creating a wine list. The consumption of rosé is increasing every year, so we would recommend offering a selection of different styles, for example both nonoaked and oaked versions. We know Provence rosé is popular, but you could also offer rosé from different wine regions. Ensure you have a selection of different Champagne styles including Brut Non-Vintage, Rosé and Prestige Cuvees such as Dom Perignon, Cristal and Krug. The well-known names of Moët et Chandon and Veuve Cliquot are important, but it can also be interesting and different to have some of the smaller producers such as Deutz and Ruinart. Why not even have some large format bottles such as Magnums or Jeraboams for those special occasions? 109 Robert Parker and Wine Spectator Robert M. Parker, Jr. is a leading U.S. wine critic with a highly international influence. He is rating wines on a 100 point scale coupled with descriptive tasting notes witch is published monthly in his newsletter “The Wine Advocate”. Despite occasional controversy surrounding his reviews and scores, he continues to be by far the most influential fine wine critic in the world today. Many Americans will make their choice of wine depending on his scores and wine merchants around the world will adjust prices accordingly. The Wine Spectator is an American wine magazine with same sort of point scale and al though not as powerful as Mr Parker their points do affect sales. Bordeaux & Burgundy In 1855, the government requested a classification system for France's best Bordeaux wines which were to be on display in the world exhibition in Paris. Brokers from the wine industry ranked the wines according trading price at the time, which at that time was directly related to quality. The result was the Bordeaux Wine Official Classification of 1855. The wines were classified into 5 different categories, from first to fifth growth (first growth being the best). Famous names such as Château Lafite and Château Latour are examples of first growths. The classification system in Burgundy is different from the one in Bordeaux; the classification does not belong to the producer but is a geographical rating. In other words, there are many producers making wine from any given Premiere or Grand Cru (Grand cru being the top and most expensive). RIVIERA WINE THE IDEAL WINE LIST
