Ledomduvin: Domaine Bizot Echezeaux Grand Cru 2014





Domaine Bizot Echezeaux Grand Cru 2014



This "OVNI" (Objet Vineux Non Identifié) is a "UNICORN" in the world of Burgundy Grand Cru. 

One can only feel privileged to be in the presence of such a rare bottle.

One of the smallest Domaines in Burgundy, Domaine Bizot is highly sought-after by connoisseurs and collectors. It spans only 3.5 hectares, with 2.5 hectares of vines planted in the village of Vosne-Romanée and 1 hectare located further north around Marsannay. Due to its size and rarity, it is often considered a unicorn among wine enthusiasts.

The Domaine has achieved "cult" status due to its tiny production. All its appellations combined rarely exceed 10,000 bottles in a regular vintage. Lesser vintages, such as 2010 and 2012, saw the total production fall to only 5,000 bottles.

Jean-Yves Bizot produces a very limited amount of his Echezeaux, only five barrels or less than 1500 bottles, making it a true unicorn and incredibly difficult to access.

It is his only “Grand Cru". His other wines are made from other appellations, such as Vosne-Romanée Premier Cru and Village, Marsannay, Bourgogne Blanc, and Rouge.

Since his first vintage in 1995, he has adopted a minimalist approach to winemaking for all his wines. This includes organic vineyard management methods, whole cluster vinification, fermenting in wooden vats at low temperatures, using little or no sulfur during vinification and “élevage,” and aging in 100% new oak barrels.

Meticulously hand-bottled, barrel by barrel, without filtration, Bizot's wines require long aging to reach their full potential and reward those with the patience to wait for them. 

Finding a bottle of Bizot's Echezeaux is already a quest in itself. And as if this was not hard enough, all this goodness, charm, subtlety, elegance, and complexity come at a higher price than its DRC counterpart.

I often refer to myself as one of the luckiest sommeliers in the world, and getting my hands on one of these most coveted bottles proves it once again. 

However, this bottle was a gift from a guest to the dinner host, and they decided not to open it. Therefore, I could not taste it. Nevertheless, I hope to get a chance to taste it someday.

Cheers! Santé!

LeDomduVin: Chateau Lafite Rothschild 1978





Someone said Lafite Rothschild 1978?



The other day, I served wine in one of @thelegacyhousehk's luxury private dining rooms.

The pantry had two doors: one leading to the room where I was serving wine and a second to another private room.

The second door opened while I was in the pantry, and I could see people arriving for dinner in the other room.

The host put a bag on the dining room island and took out these six bottles.

Even if I had nothing to do with this party and was not even going to serve the wine for them (I mean, I do not work there; I just came to serve wine for a private dinner), I was intrigued when I saw the labels and could not help myself uttering in an admirative voice, "You've brought some great wines!"

As he looked at me and glanced at the golden grape pin on my jacket, I asked the host if I could enter his room to examine the bottles more closely and even take a picture of them.

He agreed and even told me that I could taste the wine. I said I would love to and thanked him profusely.

I thought from afar that they were different. Yet, they were all 1978 vintage.

The house Sommelier opened the bottles and later brought me a glass, telling me he found some bottle variations.

Although the 1978 vintage was good overall, especially compared to the rest of the 1970s, bottle variations are unsurprising, in my opinion, as these bottles seem to have different provenance, and most 1978 Bordeaux (in general) started to fade and slowly lose their fruit two decades ago already.





Chateau Lafite Rothschild Pauillac 1978

The wine displayed a dull, cloudy, light brownish color. On the nose, it boasted autumnal tertiary aromas of leather, tobacco, coffee, underbrush, and pencil shavings, mingling with earthy and light oaky nuances. The palate was still alive and kicking, relatively consistent, with good fruit and acidity and a reasonably long finish. Surprisingly, it was still pretty good. Old but not finished.


Cheers! Santé!

LeDomduVin: Tasting Argentinian wines at Bouillon HK




Tasting Argentinian wines at Bouillon HK



Last Friday, I was invited to taste some Argentinian wines at @bouillon.hk and some Ecuadorian chocolate. 




Cristina Carranco (@hkrunaway), the wife of Johan Ducroquet (founder and owner of restaurants @bouillon.hk and @racines.hk), invited me and a few others from the wine trade to discover 10 wines that are not yet in the HK market. 




The wines were served over a delightful "charcuterie plate" (more like a "foie gras" plate 😉) and a rich chocolate fondant/cake. Yummy! 






We tasted the wines from 
@winesmarguerite 
@eurekawines
@visavis.ok 














and the chocolate from @arariwa.ec 




It was a lovely tasting with some interesting wines looking for an importer/supplier to reach the HK market. 

If interested, please contact Cristina directly.

It was also an excellent occasion to catch up with Cristina and chat with one of her friends and a few friends from some HK wine suppliers: @rolls64 @aiolos.to #charlessoulisseplou and a few others. 

Thank you for the invite, Cristina. It was nice to see you and meet your husband and the team at Bouillon. It was a fun experience. 

Cheers! Santé!

LeDomduVin: Chateau Bertinerie Des-Lyres de Bertinerie Rosé 2020 "Special Vaccin"





Chateau Bertinerie Des-Lyres de Bertinerie Rosé 2020 "Special Vaccin"



Love this label 😉😁🤣🤣🤣

First, it is fun and unconventional, a delight for the reader, and the producer must have had a blast creating it.

Second, "Des-Lyres" is a play-on-words that combines the French term “Lyres” (for "Lyra" - a type of vine training system) with the word “Délire” (for "Delirium” used in a more light-hearted and humorous sense, like "having fun”).

Third, it has been labeled “Anti-Vaccin” (for “Anti-Vaccine”) as it is 2020 vintage, the year the entire world stopped due to the COVID-19 pandemic. And thus, this wine was specifically crafted to be used as an anti-aging, anti-dote, anti-stress, anti-virus, anti-body (anti-corps), anti-morosity (anti-morosité), anti-depressant (anti-dépresseur), which I find inspiring, smart, witty, and funny. Well done by the Bantagnies family.

The Vignoble Bertinerie has been owned and operated by the same family for five generations. Today, it is managed by Eric and Frantz Bantagnies. The vineyard is under sustainable agriculture and is certified High Environmental Value (HVE). It is the largest vineyard in France under the "Lyre" vine training system, which produces fuller and smoother wines.

This Rosé comes from the young vines in the “Blaye Cotes de Bordeaux” AOC but has been voluntarily declared VDF (Vin de France). A blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot (for 2020), it is vinified like a Provence, meaning from direct pressing.

The color is usually tinted with an elegant pale pink. The nose is ordinarily fresh and lively with stone fruit aromas. The palate usually displays beautiful minerality, chewable texture, good intensity, and length.

This bottle of wine was brought from France by my friends (Gaby & Loulou) who supply wine and know the Chateau Bertinerie family. Unfortunately, it did not travel well to Hong Kong and tasted old and oxidized. The unusual golden-orange color in the picture says it all. It's a 2020 rosé, only four years old, but not all rosés are meant to age or travel well. 😉

LeDomduVin: Jacques Selosse V.O "Version Originale" Blanc-de-Blancs Grand Cru Champagne Extra Brut




Jacques Selosse V.O "Version Originale" Blanc-de-Blancs Grand Cru Champagne Extra Brut


I always feel very humble when opening a bottle of Jacques Selosse's “Version Originale.”

First, it is rare, as only 3600 bottles are produced annually worldwide. Second, it is such an excellent champagne that you must experience it at least once to fully understand why.

Understandably, it is very sought-after and hard to find as the allocations per buyer are small, just a few bottles, and only if you can get them. I have been fortunate to be able to source, buy, open, taste, and serve quite a few these past three years.

For those who may not know, V.O. is a cuvée "Blanc de Blancs," thus 100% Chardonnay grapes, harvested from Grand Cru vineyards planted on slopes around the villages of Avize, Cramant, and Oger.

The blend combines three consecutive vintages, made with the current vintage and blended with "reserve" wines from the previous two vintages. This blending method enables consistency in taste, highlights the original character of the wine, and reduces the impact of variable climatic conditions.
 
The resulting wine is then aged 6-7 years on lees and dosed as an "Extra Brut" (between 0 & 1.3 g/l depending on the vintage), which contributes to preserving the Champagne's natural character, freshness, and harmony and allows to reveal the intrinsic quality and minerality of the various terroirs.

For example, this bottle was disgorged in 2019, meaning the blend is made of the 2012 or 2013 vintage, blended with some 2010 and 2011 reserve wines.

Unlike Jacques Selosse's "Lieux Dits" Collection, undoubtedly the purest expressions of the 6 top vineyard sites they work with, V.O. may not reveal as perfectly and precisely the real identity of the terroirs it comes from. Yet, it still delivers charm, character, intensity, complexity, and concentration with finesse, elegance, and beautiful minerality.

Let it rest 2 or 3 years in your cellar to experience its full potential. It is recommended to serve it at 12°C. Decant it, if necessary.  

Cheers! Santé!

LeDomduVin: Food & Wine tasting






Food & Wine tasting for an upcoming event at Rosewood, Hong Kong 













Ruinart Champagne Blanc de Blancs NV

Light, refreshing, and zesty, it has delicate aromas of green apple and citrus fruit, white flowers, and notes of freshly baked bread. A quaffable champagne, perfect as an aperitif and with the scallops.  













Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc 2023

Cloudy Bay is a classic for BBQs and garden or beach parties. It is mass-produced, with over 100,000 cases annually, and is known for its mass appeal and consistency. At first glance, I did not think it was the right choice for this event, yet I was pleasantly surprised. It was nice, fresh, zesty, mineral, well-balanced, and harmonious, with a lively acidity and a mouth-watering palate. It paired well with the food of the first few dishes (Scallops, Risotto, Cauliflower, and fish). 















Joseph Phelps Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2021

I had not tried this wine for a few years and thought it might overpower the food, especially this young. Yet, it proved me wrong. A blend of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Petit Verdot, 2% Cabernet Franc, 1% Merlot, and 1% Malbec, the 2021 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a medium to full-bodied, opulent, and layered wine with rich aromas of ripe black currant, tobacco, leather, and hints of dark chocolate. The palate is smooth, well-structured, and textured, with good balance, acidity, depth, and length. Despite its youth and aging potential, it is incredibly approachable now. Love it.   








Cheers! Santé!

LeDomduVin: Wine sales in decline

 




Wine sales in decline



Global wine consumption has decreased for over a decade and seems to have declined even further these past few years. 

Based on the statistics chart below (courtesy of https://www.statista.com/), global wine consumption in 2022 was 232 million hectoliters, a 7.8% decline over the past 15 years from 250 million hectoliters in 2007/2008. 

It might not seem much over 15 years. Yet, the impact was significant enough to worry all the players involved, from the vineyard's workers, winemakers, wineries, and cooperatives to the wholesalers, négociants, distributors, retailers, salesmen, hotels, restaurants, bars, bistros, and everything in between.   

Interestingly, global wine consumption remained quite consistent between 2008 and 2017, only oscillating between 244 and 243 million hectoliters during these 8 years (with one exception at 240 in 2014). 

Consequently, the most significant part of the decrease occurred between 2017 and 2022, from 247 million hectoliters in 2017 to 232 million in 2022, representing a 6.5% decrease in these five years only.  This is not any more worrisome; this is scary.     






Interestingly enough, when browsing the internet to do more research and better understand why, I realized that there are a lot of contradictory pieces of information on the subject, which triggered my curiosity and inspired me to write this post to further develop some of the main reasons and factors from my perspective.   

Contradictory because some recent articles mention that sales are good, promising a projected growth of 4.35% between 2024 and 2028 (according to https://www.statista.com/ and a few other sources), while most of the other articles (written in 2023 and early 2024) all mostly come to the common conclusion that wine sales (have been) and still are in decline between an estimated 2-9% depending on the type of wine. 

Another example: According to https://www.globaldata.com/, the wine market was estimated at $346.8 billion in 2022 and is likely to grow at a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of more than 8% from 2022 to 2027. 

However, we are in March 2024, and, so far, numbers do not show any sign of this projected growth. 2023 was a terrible year for wine sales and consumption, and the beginning of 2024 seems even worse.  

However, we should stay positive and look at the situation with a "half-full" glass. Hopefully, sales and consumption may go back up at some point this year. Yet, let me give you my "two cents" on the main reasons and factors wine sales have declined in recent years. 






Lack of Money 


Undoubtedly, the first reason that comes to mind is the lack of money (as I tried to depict it in my little illustration heading this post). 

Living costs have risen in most countries worldwide in recent years. This is mainly due to the consequences and disadvantages of globalization (e.g., increased competition, exploitation of labor and resources, imbalanced trade, domestic job loss, elevation of domestic prices, taxation, tariffs, etc...) and the consequences of the recent ongoing wars, such as those in Russia/Ukraine and Israel/Palestine. Civil and political unrest and other economic, financial, societal, and geopolitical issues in some countries (including the Western world) have also contributed to this problem. Unavoidably, inflation came as a result. The cost of food, utilities, and energy (electricity, gas, oil, coal, etc...) increased, and many have struggled to make ends meet (worse than before for those already struggling). Consequently, Wine (and alcohol in general) gradually became a luxury many can no longer afford, even at a low price point.


COVID has had a significant psychological, behavioral, and, more importantly, financial impact on people and businesses. Between 2020 and 2023, many companies delocalized, reduced their staff, and/or went bankrupt, especially within the F&B industry, leading to job loss and unemployment. In Hong Kong (where I live), many expats left to return home or to other countries with more potential prospects. Although some are now coming back, the economy is still fragile, as HK greatly suffered from these 3 years of isolation from the rest of the world, during which relying solely on the local economy due to the lack of mainlanders and tourists in general, took a toll on most people and businesses. Despite hopes of an economic rebound, 2023 was a terrible year for businesses in general and, more particularly, for the F&B industry in HK, significantly impacting wine sales and consumption in restaurants, brasseries, hotels, etc.   

Additionally, COVID awakened consciousness and self-importance, changing people's societal behavior and work ethics. Some became less willing to take low-paid positions and ungrateful jobs that require hard work, working long or awkward hours, early morning, late night, or weekends (e.g., waiter, cook, chef, nurse, cleaners, helpers, janitor, sanitation worker, etc..). 

Despite a surge in wine and alcohol sales and consumption during the mid-2020 to late 2022 period due to COVID-related home confinement, restrictions, and more people spending more time at and/or working from home, there has been a downside. This situation, known as "The Great Lockdown," resulted in a global economic recession, job loss, and unemployment. Consequently, more people had to reprioritize their spending, and gradually, wine was not at the top of their list anymore.


Social Media (and streaming services) increased time spent on screens and, hand-in-hand with COVID, also contributed to awakened consciousness and self-importance, changing people's societal behavior and work ethics, especially those between 20 and 40 years old (part Millenials and Gen-Z).  

In today's fast-paced world, we often encounter social media influencers, mostly teenagers or young adults. These influencers make easy money by creating and sharing videos or reels that depict a false or fantasized image of our society and how life should be lived. Unfortunately, such content doesn't encourage people to pursue hard jobs and can lead to unrealistic expectations.


In short, over the past 5 years, the increase in living costs due to the pandemic, the wars, and other global economic, societal, political, and financial factors, combined with an attitude and behavioral change toward working and work ethics, have led to a shortage of employees in various industries such as F&B, retail, agriculture, construction, hospital, and other physical or manual labor jobs. This has resulted in more people being unemployed or earning lower salaries, leading to financial constraints that have forced these people to reassess their priorities and spending habits, thus declining wine sales.  
   

Lack of interest


It is a fact that, in general, Millennials and Gen Z have a lack of or low interest in alcohol, mainly for health, generational and behavioral reasons, I believe.   

For example, my son, who is 17, does not drink or smoke. This is great! And I'm pleased about it.  Yet, it is not for the lack of making him try some wine occasionally (e.g., Christmas or birthday).  It would have been difficult not to while having a father who is a Sommelier and a Wine Buyer, working with wine and alcoholic beverages for the past 33 years. 

Even though it's not something to be proud of, I'm glad my children aren't following my example. I was born in the early 70s and grew up in Bordeaux, France, as a teenager in the 80s. Back then, drinking and smoking were quite common, and my friends and I started at a much younger age.

Nowadays, millennials and Gen Z tend to consume less alcohol compared to preceding generations, such as Boomers and GenX, when they were the same age. Is it because they saw their parents drinking with most meals (an old habit in most Western countries) and are not interested in doing the same? Or, could it also be the result of parents being abusive with their kids due to alcohol, demonstrating alcohol is not a good thing (a recurring problem in most countries, unfortunately, often leading to domestic violence and other problems)? Probably a combination of both. 

However, those who consume alcohol prefer white and/or rosé wines rather than reds and/or are exploring other beverage categories like RTD (ready-to-drink) premixed drinks, cocktails, and craft beer. These convenient options allow them to enjoy alcoholic beverages and premixed and/or pre-made cocktails at home or on the go.

Consequently, wine sales have become increasingly reliant on older drinkers from the previous generations, Boomers and GenX, who have habits of drinking wine as an aperitif and during meals (lunch and/or dinner). Yet, these generations, especially the boomers, are aging fast, and health consciousness prevails over wine consumption, leading to declining wine sales for this population segment.    


Health Concerns


Body health has been a significant concern for more than two decades due to increasing pollution and the alarming results of various scientific reports released annually. The main culprits are overproduction and overconsumption, which have led to the pollution of air, water, and soil. The consequences can be observed everywhere in our daily lives. Just look at the amount of trash each of us generates daily. 

Despite being a recurring topic since the 90s (more like the 70s, actually), we have only found minor solutions to tackle this pollution problem, let alone the climate change situation, which is partly created by pollution. The problem is that the efforts of a minority to make a change are not enough compared to the majority of people and the government's lack of concern and actions to address these issues. 

Like for Tabaco a few decades ago (and still ever since), anti-alcohol campaigns at doctor's offices, hospitals, and even taught at schools have mushroomed in the past 10 years, raising awareness about the negative aspects and consequences of drinking alcohol, even with moderation. No wonder Millenials and GenZ kids are not as big consumers as the preceding generations.  





******work in progress*****


These were my two cents on why wine sales have declined in recent years and will probably continue to do so if we continue on the path we have been on these few decades.   

Cheers! Santé!

LeDomduVin: Still within the Top 150 of the "Best Wine Blogs" list on Feedspot! THANK YOU for your continuous support!

 




Still within the Top 150 of the "Best Wine Blogs" list on Feedspot! THANK YOU for your continuous support!  



At the start of each year since 2019, I check Feedspot's 100 Best Wine Blogs list to see where my blog ranks. And, thanks to you and your continuous support, I'm still there, at number #107. That is great! And it is because of you, my followers and readers. So, THANK YOU! Much appreciated.  

Some of you may say: Why is it so great? You're not even in the Top 100.  
And I'll say: Yes, you're right, but I'm still on the list and, once again, not so far from the Top 100. This encourages me to work even harder and better to reach that goal. 

You must realize that the "Feedspot's 100 Best Wine Blogs" list includes 1952 Wine Blogs representing the best wine blogs on the web (out of thousands of other Wine Blogs), ranked based on traffic(*), social media followers, and freshness. 

Therefore, being on the list is already greatly satisfying, and achieving the Top 100 would be amazing, yet reaching number #107 is excellent for me.  

"Excellent," as my wine blog is just a hobby. I only write when I have time and when the inspiration comes. I don't impose any quotas on myself or anything else. I have always been independent and always will be, so I can write about anything and everything I want whenever I want. 

Moreover, I have always shared my knowledge and passion for wine (on my blog and social media pages) without a profit motive or interest in brands or producers. I don't get any money or free goods from it. Although it would be nice, I'm not making a dime with it. I'm not an influencer, either. I just love writing and want to do it freely without anyone looking over my shoulder. 

Consequently, being on this list is a great reward. I am humbled and feel privileged about it, as so many wine blogs are better than mine. And yet, here I'm at number #107. Thank you.  

This number constantly oscillates throughout the year, so I look at it only once (or twice) yearly. Usually, every end of January or early February, to be consistent. I have been in the Top 100 several times in the past few years. Therefore, it is doable, and I will work harder to reach it again.  

  • 2019 - Number #92
  • 2020 - Number #85 
  • 2021 - Number #132
  • 2022 - Number #124
  • 2023 - Number #97
  • 2024 - Number #107

Thank you all for making this goal possible and achievable. Your likes, comments, and feedback motivate me to continue writing and sharing my passion and knowledge for wine, as I have been doing on this wine blog for the past 16 years.  

You are the reason why this blog still exists and continues to thrive, and I cannot thank you enough for that. And thank you to Feedspot, too.  

Share the passion, share the knowledge, share the love, share the wine! 

Cheers! Santé! Et Merci!
