再次去返依間法式小餐館 - Haven

同朋友去Haven , 我再次去 Haven ! 無他既 , 因為佢比我一個家的感覺

今次帶支白酒 (Josmeyer Pinot Gris - Biodynamic Wine) 去 match 下


Tuna 他他 - spice 份量重手少少 , 令到 Tuna 味被蓋走.....


蟹餅莎莎 - 蟹肉份量應該再多d就較好 , 依個份量不足 , 欠缺蟹肉清甜


54度慢熟鱈魚 - 出奇地好食 , 皮香脆 , 肉滑 , 唔錯 !!!

走地珠雞 - 皮香 , 但肉汁走了不少 , 我想Tender 多D , 希望下次會好d , 幾match 支pinot gris

God Father of Biodynamic Wine - Nicolas Joly

今次試既就係 Nicolas Joly 既 biodynamic wine, N.Joly 被稱為God Father of Biodynamic Wine

佢早在1980年開始 Biodynamic Farming，跟隨日月星晨，陰曆去 Farming，同時利用500號系列配方去改善泥土質素

N.Joly 隻酒係 100% Chenin Blanc 做，完全 Mature Grape 去做，甚至有 botrytis。
同埋，依支白酒係要 Decant，可以 breathe 半日，甚至1星期，佢聲稱質素會愈來愈好。

講返隻酒，今次飲係 佢3塊田之中最好既田，Coulee de Serrant 2014

開 Foil/Capsule 個時，完全feel到好似開舊酒一樣，再睇個cork，濕濕地咁。之後用Ahso開，再倒入Decanter，初聞好似舊酒，Sherry咁既Aroma



經過12小時 Decanter Breathe
Nicolas Joly Clos de la Coulee de Serrant 2014

Appellation Savennieres Coulee de Serrant Controlee
Since 1980, Nicolas Joly practice Biodynamic Farming

Limited racking, batonnage, small doses of sulphur and light filtration
Must be decanted claimed by Nicholas Joly

14.5% abv
100% Chenin Blanc very mature grape

Appearance: Intense Golden Yellow
Nose: Honey, Apicot, White Peach, Hint of Ginger
Palate: Apicot, Medium+ Acidity, Rich Mineral, Great Finish with sweet apicot (>60 seconds)
Conclusion: Very Good and can age more and more

有質素真係可以擺好耐同飲好耐
如果可以既，可以每日飲一杯之後recork，可以飲足一星期

Biodynamic Wine

是夜參加了 Biodynamic Wine VS Organic Wine tasting event
Understand how biodynamic viticulture is like.

Fungicide, Insecticide, Pesticide, Herbicide, Fertilizer ( Fungicide will ONLY be used in Biodynamic Viticulture)

Ch. Pontet Canet certified as Biodynamic GCC in Bordeaux. Year 2007 was poor vintage with heavy rain.

soil pH value below 5 not good for growth

100% Organic USA wine means not using SO2 whilst EU organic wine just use organic viticulture

Understand how 500 serial material for Biodynamic Viticulture, very ugly and weird method
500 - Horn Manure 牛角 filled with 牛屎
501 - Horn Silica 牛角 filled with 石英粉
502 - Yarrow
503 - Chamomile
504 - Stinging Nettle
505 - Oak Bark
506 - Dandelion
507 - Valerian
508 - Horsetail 鼠尾草 (not quite effective)

而我地成日話有 Mineral Aroma, 其實係指 Mercaptans (Mineral) means Gun Powder, Flinty, Sulfur with Yeast Chemical Reaction.

Yeast strain reduced by SO2
SO2 with Oak chemical reaction to create coffee aroma....


- Tannin felt by Gum : come from Grape Skin and Seed
- Tannin felt by Tongue : come from New Oak
- Fertile Soil, More Herbaceous
- Temperature Over 35 deg C, stop Photosynthesis

Minerality related to Stone, Flint, Smoky, Chalky (Typically region from Chablis, Sancerre, Wachau, Mosel, Priorat)

StoneSoil + Acid + Cool Climate - Ester (Fruity) - Oxygen = Mineral

SS + A + C - E - O2 = Mineral
