A TASTE OF BURGUNDY WINE MENU
(wine themes vary by event)
GEORGES PAUCHON | SAUVIGNON BLANC SANCERRE
Sancerre is known for its flinty, savory Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire Valley of France.
The region’s rolling limestone hills and semi-continental climate deliver richly textured Sauvignon Blanc wines with ripe gooseberry aromas, bracing acidity, and flinty-smoke flavors.
This estate produces a limited production, hand-crafted wines that reflect a classic style of Sancerre that’s bright, fresh, expressive, and mineral-rich.
Aromas include tart stone fruit and fresh herbs, while the palate has flavors of; honeydew melon, white peach, flint, straw, gray salt, smoke, shortbread, lemon curd, and a creamy brioche quality, with a zippy finish.
This Sauvignon Blanc boasts refreshing acidity that will have you reaching for a second and third glass!
FELIX FOULLEY | CHARDONNAY
CHABLIS
4 REASONS TO TRY CHABLIS
1). You love Chardonnay. Particularly unoaked Chardonnay. Racy, light and tactile, yet uniquely complex.
2). You hate Chardonnay. Perhaps you’ve never loved Chardonnay, I get it, it wasn’t my favorite either until I had Chablis. This is the purest form of Chardonnay without any influence of oak or that heavy “buttery” flavors we are so used to. If I can be converted, so can you.
3). You love seafood. Chablis is famous for its Kimmeridgian limestone soil which is composed of fossilized oyster shells, the clearest sign of Chablis’ former life as a seabed. This unique soil heavily influences the wine and which is why it pairs so well with shellfish, crab, lobster, fish, oysters, clams, and scallops.
4) You’ve said, “I don’t like white wine” ever in your life. I rarely evangelize about wine. But I will certainly make an exception with Chablis. Its unique character and mouth-watering salinity will make even the fondest red wine lover take a second look at white wines- especially Chablis.
CUVEE LA FLORANDE | ROSÈ
PROVENCE
There are dry rosés and sweet rosés, pale rosés and dark rosés, party rosés and fine dining rosés. Of all the rosés made in the world, rosés from Provence in the south of France are renowned for being delicate, fresh, fruity, and generous.
An evocative pomelo pink color with intense fruit-forward flavors of strawberry, cherries, redcurrant, and licorice.
This romantic rose is very aromatic and shows off its strong character in the glass.
On the ready to accompany the world cuisines Jing has to offer.
LAURENT CHARDIGNY |
WHITE BURGUNDY BURGUNDY
This powerful French Chardonnay boasts hundreds of years of experience the Burgundians have with oak aging: well-integrated, subtle flavors of toasted almond, baked bread, dill, and vanilla that balances the fresh fruitiness flavors of green apple, yellow plum, and Meyer lemon.
This wine is a great contrast to the Chablis served at the beginning of the evening. This wine shows how beautifully complex and versatile the Chardonnay grape can be - even from the same region.
LAURENT CHARDIGNY | RED BURGUNDY BURGUNDY
The crown jewel of the evening!
As a sommelier, I'm often asked: "what is your favorite wine?" It's an exceedingly difficult question to answer however, if I could only drink one wine for eternity it would be Burgundy.
As a sommelier, I'm often asked: "what is your favorite wine?" It's an exceedingly difficult question to answer however, if I could only drink one wine for eternity it would be Burgundy.
The Côte de Beaune is the Beverly Hills of Burgundy production and is home to some of the most expensive vineyard land on Earth. Burgundian wines are some of the most collectible and rare wines in the world.
Powerful and rich, with complex fruit flavors of cranberry, cherry, raspberry, and notes of vanilla, clove, licorice, mushroom, wet leaves, tobacco, cola, caramel earth, and minerals.
Despite their complexity, these Pinot Noirs are extremely approachable and food-friendly. Tonight is your you'll have the chance to pair this exceptional pinot noir with some of the best world cuisines Las Vegas has to offer. A perfect match.
Don't miss this opportunity to try this distinguished wine!
