The Pierre Jourdan Belle Rose will be bottled in just less than two weeks. I’ll let you know how that goes in another blog post.
Before any of you ask you can look forward to the Chardonnay / Pinot Noir Blend in the latter half of the year. Don’t bother asking for specifics because you won’t get them.
Just a brief note, because I’m still traveling, to let you all know that the quality of our 2010 Pinot Noir grapes was excellent. So good, in fact, that I can’t get them out of my mind.
You know you’re obsessed when you dream about the grapes you harvested over a month ago.
In the last 18 months the Pierre Jourdan Tranquille has exploded locally. The demand of this delicious, gentle and elegant wine is growing exponentially. If you haven’t had a chance to sample our Tranquille we suggest you do it before it’s too late. It is the ultimate 2010 summer drink! If you’d like to order yourself a case or two just pop on over to the Cabriere Online Store.
If you’re in Düsseldorf, Germany, today is the last day of the ProWein Trade Fair and it’s your final chance to pay our Takuan a visit. He’s even more amazing in person than he is on this blog!
Flo studied at the oenological college in Reims and has worked in cellars both in Champagne and Burgundy. This makes him ideally suited for Cabrière.
Florent comes from Champagne in France and he has worked under Laurent Fresnet at Henriot Champagne House. In fact, as far as history goes, it was Laurent who created the first ever Ratafia. But he was made famous by his escargot dinners in 1993, made from bags and bags of snails he hunted down in vineyards.
Valentine’s Day 2010 is almost here. In fact it’s only 4 days away so there is still time for you to pick up the best Valentine’s Day gift ever. There simple isn’t anything that says “I love you” more than Belle Rose and Belgium Chocolate. Thank goodness we had the foresight to combine the two in our 2010 Cabrière Valentine’s Day Gifts.
If you’re interested in what’s happening at Cabrière at the moment then this video clip is for you.
Takuan - back from his recent lunch adventure at Haute Cabrière Restaurant - shows us what the Cabrière Chardonnay grapes are looking like, he talks about where they could potentially be used and then he explains (simply) how the weather is going to affect the 2010 harvest.
2009 was the Harvest that seemed like it would never end but it has - amazingly enough.
I’ve put together a short Harvest Report for those of you that are interested … if you’re not interested then what are you still doing here? Seriously, I’m not kidding.
