Medoc Wine Industry Association in April 2010 will be 7 games in Beijing, the official course description Medoc wine region. Courses include theoretical and professional knowledge of teaching, and taste wines from the Medoc.
The first was on April 13 held in CAFA, Beijing Campus. Taught include Mdoc geographical conditions, soil distribution, grape varieties, Mdoc, Mdoc wines of different grades, as well as the taste.
Courses from the Medoc wine industry associations to promote teaching, Ambassador Christine. She is experienced sommelier, her family has a Bordeaux winery. Translation is a Cafa Ma Lin served as a wine expert. The two perfect match, the whole course is very exciting.
Medoc almost all the most familiar Bordeaux. Medoc Bordeaux, producing the output of 15% of the total annual output of about 100 million bottles of wine, planted area of 16,500 hectares. Medoc about 1,500 wineries, each winery’s vineyard average of 60-100 hectares, artists Winery (Crus Artisan) an average of 5-15 ha.
Medoc along the Gironde River, about 80 kilometers north to south and east-west width of about 5 km. Up to 44 meters above sea level, about Listrac, Moulis area.
Medoc in the soils were divided into three parts, by the western Panhandle, the central zone, the zone along the Gironde River.
Panhandle west through the soil as Graves Pyreneennes, growing 50% Cabernet Sauvignon and 50% Merlot. Relatively strong here, strong wine.
Medoc zone along the Gironde is Graves Garonnaise “soil”, a relatively thick layer of pebbles, pebbles of better drainage, while pebbles absorb heat during the day, release heat at night to help the mature Cabernet Sauvignon. The area is only suitable for planting grapes, and other crops are not good. Dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon grape varieties. Here’s a good wine structure, depth, smooth tannins, a vintage ability.
Medoc central zone (between the West and riparian) and the soil is Argilocalcaires, sticky soil calcium. There are no pebbles to retain the heat during the day, the soil temperature is lower, mainly growing Merlot.
Grape varieties from the point of view, Medoc 51% of the area is 47-48% Cabernet Sauvignon is Merlot, the other a small amount of Cabernet Franc and a small Virgin and more.
View from the producing areas, Medoc 35% of the production, Haut-Medoc 29%, Margaux 8%, Saint-Estephe 7%, Pauillac 7%, Sanit-Julien 6%, Listrac 4%, Moulis 4%.
Chateau on the middle of this rather difficult issue, Christine teacher gave a briefing about the latest situation: Intermediate winery list will be updated annually, and the assessment will be considered by an independent firm to conduct VERITAS to ensure impartiality.
Grading from the Medoc, the situation is this: Medoc 60 1855-level village, accounting for 20% of total production; nine cooperatives, accounting for 12% of total production; have 395 kinds of second labels (column-level village, intermediate vineyards and wineries are all artists may have second labels), accounting for 25% of total production (or Bordeaux will do business, 1 / 4 of the production is second labels); 44 artists wine Chuang, accounting for 2% of total output; 247 Intermediate wineries, representing 41% of total production (no wonder so Nangao intermediate winery’s lawsuit, originally accounted for such a big production, stakeholders ah).
Courses after the end of the first half, second half of the wine is tasted. Christine is a veteran teacher sommeliers, inadvertently demonstrated to us the action to open wine, clean and agile, nothing messy.
