THE EMBLEM OF RUINART TASTE<br /><br />The Ruinart icon embodies the purity and aromatic freshness of Chardonnay.<br /><br />Several Crus from the Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims.<br />100% Chardonnay from various vintages (20 to 25% of which are reserve wines from the previous 2 years).<br /><br />It rests 2 years on the lees in the cellar<br /><br />The colour is a beautiful pale golden yellow. On the nose fresh fruit and exotic fruits (pineapple), notes of lime and white fruits (white peach). A soft and harmonious attack<br />on the palate with a very refreshing mineral finish.<br /><br />Seafood and shellfish. Perfect with a sea bass tartare or sea bream or sole.<br />

Its colour varies from nut-brown to amber and it smells of wood, its taste is bittersweet. This varietal honey is obtained from the nectar of the chestnut tree blossom.<br /><br />Our popular Plattner Bienenhof chestnut honey is made from the nectar of the chestnut tree blossom and tastes slightly tart. It reminds of tannins and wood in the nose as<br />well as in the mouth. These flavours make it slightly less sweet and more liquid compared to others. Plattner Bienenhof Kastanien honey is a great accompaniment to<br />mature cheese, but also tastes great when enjoyed traditionally.<br /><br />On average, our honey contains about 17-19% water, about 70% simple sugars (carbohydrates in the form of glucose and fructose), about 2.5% sucrose, about 0.1% other<br />sugars and about 8% other substances. These naturally occurring components are: Acids, lactones, mineral salts, proteins, amino acids, vitamins, colloids and aromatic<br />substances.<br /><br />Honey, with about 300 kilocalories per 100 grams, is an energy-rich natural product, quickly digestible and well and rapidly absorbed by the body.<br /><br />Honey is a living food!<br /><br />It is even said to have some interesting positive properties on the human body: sedative (calming), antiseptic (germicidal), antianemic (increases red blood cells), diuretic<br />(increases water excretion), and many more.<br /><br />The freshly harvested honey is liquid, but can crystallise over time. This process is quite natural and the crystallised honey can be liquefied again in a warm water bath (up<br />to 40° C).<br /><br />Honey is not suitable for children or babies under 12 months.<br /><br />Country of origin: Italy<br />

<br />Reserva Heredad<br />Reserva Heredad was created to express style, in the world of top of the range sparkling wines. We make it with the objective of offering an elegant, versatile Cava. To do<br />this, we select only the very best wines from each vintage, which will then age in bottle, in contact with the lees, for more than 30 months. This ageing ends when the winery<br />expert gives every bottle the magic touch with the last poignettage or shake of the wrist, which intensi- fies the contact of the lees with the wine, and creates a more<br />complex bouquet.<br /><br />THE VINEYARDS<br />The grapes are 100% hand harvested and transported to the winery in 25kg capacity self draining plastic boxes to prevent grape damage, and thereby avoiding the<br />possibility that the juice might oxidise, with a consequent loss of freshness.<br /><br /><br />IN THE CELLAR<br />The must for Reserva Heredad comes from the lightest pressing of the grapes. We only use the first 50% of the juice pressed. This is known as the flower must, as it is<br />the most aromatic and delicate. The first fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled low temperature of between 14 and 16°C, to retain the primary<br />aromas of the grapes. The blend for Reserva Heredad is made up of nine different wines, each one vinified in separate tanks. The magic of the blend is in ensuring that each<br />one lends its own touch of character to the whole. Macabeo is the dominant grape in Reserva Heredad, contributing acidity and freshness. It also allows the wine to age<br />well, during the 30 months or more that it will be in contact with the lees. Both the first and the second fermentations are carried out using our own selected yeast strains.<br />These give structure, softness on the palate, more complex aromas (honey, dried fruits and flowers), as well as an elegant and persistent mousse. Before disgorgement we<br />give each bottle a last sharp shake, or twist of the wrist, known as a poignettage, lifting the yeast cells from the side of the bottle, and mixing them once more with the<br />wine, thus intensifying the element of autolysis. The riddling or turning of all the bottles of Reserva Heredad is done by hand and in pupitres.<br /><br /><br />IN GLASS<br />Straw yellow in colour, with a small, fine, plentiful mousse. The opening aromas are of the ageing on lees, lightly smokey, with touches of biscuit or bread, which are<br />followed by hints of honey, fruit and flower petals. The palate is excellent, fruity and full of flavour, with dried fruits from the lees ageing, but very elegant, giving the drinker a<br />delightful sense of abundance.<br /><br /><br />ON THE TABLE<br />This Cava defines elegant refreshment, even in its presentation. It is a perfect companion to truffle influenced dishes, such as truffle oil drizzled pastas. White fish - sole or<br />monkfish à la meunière, or even traditional Mediterranean casseroles are perfect companions, as are cooked or cured hams, and soft white cheeses such as brie or<br />camembert. It marries perfectly with meat dishes, such as fillet of venison slow braised in a shallot sauce.<br />

Bordiga Amaro St. Hubertus 70 cl / 38°<br /><br />Why it is different<br /><br />Bordiga's Amaro Riserva St. Hubertus is counted among the best bitters in the Italian tradition. It represents the apotheosis of the distillery's artisan and zealous approach<br />to quality. The starting point is the highest quality herbs and flowers that are selected by expert mountaineers in the alpine landscape of the Cuneo valleys. Bordiga is a very<br />special distillery, specialising in rigour and respect for tradition. Its strong point is the medicinal alpine herbs still harvested by hand and dried at high altitudes by mountain<br />people in an uncontaminated environment. This means that the botanicals used are spontaneous, and therefore intrinsically organic. They are harvested without the aid of<br />engines, without pesticides, fertilisers or fungicides and, above all, with great attention to product quality and respect for the environment. Each production, just like in the<br />past, is totally conditioned by the changing seasons and climate. Once harvested, the herbs are meticulously checked by the Master distillers who deliver only the best for<br />processing.<br /><br />How I drink it<br />To be consumed neat, with or without ice.<br />

<br />Quince mustard sauce<br />Delicatessen sauce with mustard flavour in a small jar.<br /><br />A delicious sauce made from quince to flavour raw milk and fresh cheeses, with cheese or meat fondue and roasted or grilled meat. This sauce tastes purely of quince with<br />a hint of the pungent mustard oil.

Rhum Rhum Blanc<br />Rhum Rhum Marie Galante<br /><br />70 cl / 41 °<br />Typology: Pure Single Rhum Agricole<br />Raw material: Pure cane juice<br />Fermentation: Own selected yeasts<br />Method of production: Pot Still distillation<br />Box: Yes<br />Why it is different<br /><br />Rhum Rhum Blanc 41 ° is the Pure Single Agricole Rhum produced from an ancient variety of sugar cane, the Rouge B47.259, almost disappeared from the Antilles. Once<br />perfectly ripe, the canes are cut by hand with traditional 'coutelas' and transported to the distillery on 'cabrouets' pulled by bulls. The freshly pressed juice is not diluted, as<br />is usual in the production of rhum agricoles; fermentation takes place in open vats at a controlled temperature and lasts up to 5/6 days. After distillation there is a long<br />period of rest in steel vats, lasting up to a year, during which the alcohol content is slowly lowered. Rhum Rhum Blanc is bottled at 41°.<br /><br />How I drink it:<br />Rhum Rhum Blanc 41° is very pleasant in the classic Ti' Punch with a very small addition of sugar. Excellent for classic cocktails such as the Mary Pickford.<br /><br />Focus:<br />In the mid-2000s, Luca Gargano realised a dream he had nurtured for years, that of producing the best rum in the world. To do so, he enlisted the help of maestro Gianni<br />Vittorio Capovilla and together they chose the enchanting island of Marie Galante, where at the time the best possible terroir could be found in the Caribbean. A first still was<br />installed at the Bielle distillery in 2005 and the second in 2007: two Müller bain-marie stills with a capacity of 300 and 1200 litres. The fresh, undiluted cane juice ferments<br />slowly in stainless steel cuves.<br />

Chartreuse VEP. Verte<br />Chartreuse France<br /><br />1 lt / 54°<br />Typology: Liqueur<br />Raw material: Alcohol, herbs, spices, aromas, sugar, honey<br />Method of production: Pot Still Distillation &amp; Infusion<br />Ageing: Continental<br />Box: Yes<br />Why it is different<br /><br />Green Chartreuse VEP is an extremely long aged liqueur, technically the most aged liqueur on the market. A Green Chartreuse with over 15 years of ageing, in small<br />barrels.<br /><br />How to drink it:<br />To be enjoyed as the great end-of-meal liqueur that it is, in fact served at the end of meals in many Michelin-starred restaurants around the world.<br /><br />Focus:<br />Chartreuse means Voiron to many. For more than 100 years, the French town in Haute-Savoie has been the home of the much-loved liqueur of the Carthusian fathers. The<br />Voiron site was built at the end of the 19th century as a logistical base for production, which was carried out in the historic Fourvoire distillery in Saint Laurent Le Pont,<br />destroyed by a landslide in 1935. From 1903, however, the monks had to flee, due to immediate expulsion from the French state, and took refuge in Spain, in Tarragona,<br />where production continued. After returning to France in 1930, and especially after the landslide that destroyed the old distillery, production was transferred to Voiron, where<br />the legendary underground Chartreuse 'caves' can still be visited today.<br />
