Boursots Wine

July, 2012

Dear Customer,

And so to our usual verbiage: our newsletters can be unfashionably verbose, so if you prefer to go straight to a particular topic, the main headings are below.

General

You will have noticed that the price of shopping in France continues to come down, with a weakened euro against the pound. Currently the euro rate stands at around 1.27 to the pound.

In case you should ever wonder, before VAT the UK duty currently stands at £1.90 per bottle of still wine and £2.43 on each bottle of sparkling wine. Add 20% VAT to both the duty and to the value of the wine and you have ... a very unhappy situation for UK wine drinkers. With the average sale price of a bottle of wine in the UK being £4.55, this means that around 60% of the cost of that bottle is now consumed in tax.

In France there is only a negligible rate of duty on wine, thanks to the country being a major supplier of wine. So, its tax still remains at an almost non-existent rate of around £0.02 per bottle!

Many of you say the same thing - epitomised by one happy customer not so long ago "One has to be crazy to buy wines in England. Virtually no choice on the high street and when you can find something interesting, it's ridiculously expensive... This (coming to Ardres) is so much fun, it's so easy, we make a day of it and everyone is happy".

On our list you get a good selection of French wines here in Ardres with some huge savings over UK prices. You can rest assured that all the wines on this list, starting at just 2,90€ (around £2.30) per bottle, have been tasted and selected by me as being "good" in their own different ways - it's then simply a question of your personal preferences and of course everyone has different tastes.

New Reduced Cross Channel Fares

As you probably know by now, we have agreed a a new special favourable crossing rate with P&O. for our customers.

What P&O has also done is to offer you the same rate for a Day Return as for an Overnight Stay (meaning returning before midnight the following day). So if you have a longer drive from Britain or Ireland, or simply want to take it easy, you can book at this advantageous rate at no premium. And if you should need them, we can always help you with ideas of where to stay in the locality.

Assuming you book through this through this link, for a car and up to 9 passengers, prices are from £22 for travel every day except Saturday when the rate will be £25. There may be some specific supplement dates but provided there's availability and that you're travelling in a standard car, you will pay these low rates. This link is also accessible through the Offers page of our website.

For those of you in the South East who simply want to hop across and collect your wines, there is also an Afternoon Rate of £19, meaning leaving after midday and returning before midnight. So, after buying your wines, you will also be able to fit in some fine dining!

We hope you find this helpful.

In case you didn't know it already, we should point out that Tesco clubcard points can be exchanged for Eurotunnel tickets, although it may not be possible to use these in conjunction with an existing Offer.

Boursot's Hotel Offers

We have a list of local hotels, B&Bs, restaurants, golf clubs and places of interest on our website under the Local Info button from our Home Page - or directly here. Whilst talking about Local Info, we also list the Bank Holidays so that you do not find, on getting here, that everything is closed (except Boursot's Wine Collection of course which remains open every day except Sundays and Mondays and over Christmas).

We are sad to announce that the Hotel Le Relais on the green in Ardres will be closing for good in mid-August. This leaves Ardres with no hotel (several B&Bs though) and whilst everyone would agree that the rooms were simple, very often they did the trick as a staging post for travellers with good food and a comfortable bed.

If you are a "foodie" we are pleased to bring you a new offer from the 4 star Hostellerie de 3 Mousquetaires which is about 30 minutes' south of Ardres in Aire sur la Lys. Here you will enjoy a cosy atmosphere and fine cuisine as some of you will recall after some of our spectacular dinners there in January. Chef proprietor David Wojtkowiak worked at the Berkeley Hotel in London before setting up his own restaurants in northern France and so speaks good English.

This offer is available to you during the week but not at weekends. Normally a room for two costs from 115€, breakfast 15€ per person and dinner typically 45€ per person: total 235€. The offer to Boursot's Wine Collection customers is an all-in price of dinner, bed and breakfast for two at 92€ per person. When you book, you must mention Boursot's Wine Collection to get these special terms. You can call on +33 321 39 01 11 or there is a booking form on: www.hostelleriedes3mousquetaires.com/fr/reservations.php

Also, as a Boursot's Wine Collection customer, you will receive reduced rates at the 4 star Hôtel Château Tilques between here and Saint-Omer, of 129€ per room Sundays to Fridays and 159€ for Saturday nights; these prices are per night for two people, including breakfast and are of course offered subject to availability. When booking, please mention Boursot to get your special rates.

Your Own Events in France

You may know it already but we are often asked to help organise various social events - for groups such as Golf Clubs, Rotary Clubs, U3A, Wine Clubs, Car Clubs, birthday parties, office parties, pre-wedding parties etc.

As mentioned earlier the

Hotel Le Relais

on the green in Ardres will be closing for good in mid-August. We have been hosting many of your groups' lunches and dinners there over several years – however there are other places in Ardres and indeed, there is soon to be a new restaurant in the town and we shall be keeping our ears, noses and throats tuned in to that.

Typically, we would discuss your desired objectives for your event and then work backwards from there. We can liaise on your behalf with local restaurants and if required, hotels. Being locals, often we are allowed to provide our wines in restaurants at our shop prices and with no cost of "corkage" to you.

Depending on whether you would like it, I can talk a little about the various wines being served, probably concluding with some entertaining words about what's going on in the World of Wine. These events are always fun and they are different: with only 23 miles across that English Channel, but a million miles away in cultural terms, people always seem delighted to get away for a complete change of scenery and for a bit of French life.

With our advantageous deals on cross channel fares as well as with local restaurants and hotels, you can really entertain your guests here in northern France at extraordinary value.

In addition of course, I am happy to travel to you to present wine related events to your groups or dinners.

Do please contact me by phone or or through my speaker website guy@boursot.com to explore your options.

Forthcoming Boursot Events

All our customer lunches and dinners are of course held in English. Vegetarian and alternative food options can also be provided, as long as we receive notice at the time of booking. Please contact us on ardres@boursot.co.uk or on +33 321 36 81 46 to book for any of our events below.

If a guest speaker is unable to attend, we will endeavour to find another speaker and if none is available, Guy Boursot will present the talk.

Boursot's Wine Collection is usually open on the Sunday morning after a Saturday night dinner.

Saturday 13th October: Anniversary Gourmet Dinner at Hotel Atlantic, Wimereux - An Evening with Simon Hoggart

Our Ardres shop opened in 2006 and each year, we celebrate the shop's birthday by hosting tastings of cheese, chocolate and wine, and we often include an event such as a bakery visit or a visit to the underground parts of Ardres. And then for our Dinner we are always pleased to lay on a great guest speaker.

This year Simon Hoggart has agreed to come back as our guest presenter so, for those of you who missed his appearance at last year's Anniversary Dinner, we suggest you reserve this soon before the evening sells out again.

I am sure that Simon Hoggart needs little introduction to most of you but he is the Guardian's political sketch writer as well as the wine columnist for The Spectator. In addition of course he was for 13 years the chairman of BBC Radio 4's comedy show "The News Quiz". With his inimitable insight of politics and wine, wrapped up with his incisive humour, you can be assured of a highly entertaining evening.

Tickets for this Gourmet Dinner will be, as last year, 96€ (around £77) per person to include a champagne reception, four course dinner and five more wines. And of course all entertainment - and there should be plenty of that!

We had blocked off rooms at the Atlantic but these have all been taken up now. However there are several other hotels in the town including the Hotels Saint-Jean, du Centre, Esperanza and Cyprin.

Over 50% of available places have been reserved to date.

Saturday 17th November: Bordeaux Dinner - "Up to Margaux"with Pierre Brousse-Schyler of Château Kirwan, 3ème cru classé Margaux. At Hôtel Château Tilques

This will be one of our "great" dinners: we are honoured to have with us the head man from one of the most respected chateaux in Bordeaux. Classified as a 3rd growth in 1855, Château Kirwan in Margaux is nowadays back on top form, producing some stunning and widely acclaimed wines.

Our venue will be the four star Hôtel Château Tilques between Ardres and Saint-Omer and because this will be such a major Boursot dinner, we will be trialling menus beforehand to ensure the highest possible quality of food to go with the great wines.

You can of course ask Monsieur Schyler about all matters Bordelais and I'm sure that he will be up for a bit of lively discussion! Tickets for this Gourmet Dinner are 84€ (around £69) per person for this four course dinner and several wines that are still to be defined, although you can be assured that we will be enjoying some top Margaux from Château Kirwan!

We have blocked off rooms at Hôtel Château Tilques, so please let us know if you should like to take a room from our allocation.

This is expected to be a very popular dinner and we recommend you reserve your places as soon as you can.

Sunday 9th December: Ardres' Christmas Market and Boursot's Christmas Lunch at La Griotte, Ardres

Ah, it's the season of Christmas markets in Europe! Several of these are easily accessible from Britain and the little town of Ardres always injects some fun and colour into an otherwise grey time of the year.

Also from 10am that day, the annual Turkey Festival will be held about 20 minutes away in Licques, a village famed for its outdoor reared chickens and turkeys. Here, a flock of local turkeys is "shepherded" up the main street. Dotted along the route you can enjoy stew served from a huge steaming cauldron, eat roasted meat from street barbecues and you can even try out "Licquoise", a fiery local liqueur that will help to keep you warm. All for free. There are musicians and confrères and there is also a simple Christmas Market brimming with local produce. It is all typically "local French".

And then to lunch at La Griotte on the green in Ardres, which provides great quality "home cooking". We suggest you "do"the Ardres Christmas Market after lunch by which time everyone's spirits will have been warmed up! Père Noel is normally found to be abseiling down the outside of the church at around 6pm, throwing goodies to many of the local children gathered below!

The informal four course lunch will be preceded by a bubbly reception and then accompanied by a further five Boursot wines, and everything will cost just 55€ (around £44 at today's rate). This is a fun day out and for many, makes a great start to the Christmas season.

We suggest you book soon as 60% of available places have already been reserved.

Saturday 26th January: Boursot's "Blues Buster" Gourmet Afternoon and Dinner presented by David Wojtkowiak and Guy Boursot at Hotel Les Trois Mousquetaires, Aire sur la Lys

After news circulated about the success of last year's Blues Buster event at the Three Musketeers, we were asked when we might repeat our formula of culinary classes, wine classes and a Gourmet Dinner combined in one event.

The idea is not so much to be taught how to cook but to experience the kitchens of a quality restaurant and be given several useful culinary tips in the preparation of the dinner that we would come to enjoy that evening. This is tutored by David, chef proprietor of the hotel who speaks English having cheffed in London for some years.

At the same time, there will be wine masterclasses during which you can taste and compare wines from several different areas across France and learn about what is going on behind the scenes in each of these areas and more generally with the global trends.

We are waiting for the hotel to get a diary for 2013 whereupon they should be able to confirm our event, but at this stage it looks pretty certain that it will happen. The price of the dinner should be, as last year, around 74€ (about £59) per person. We are also blocking off bedrooms at the hotel, so please say if you would like to take up a room from our allocation.

Just when you thought that winter couldn't get any more grey and bleak at the end of January, here's something to introduce a bit of colour and entertainment!

You can book now for any event shown above.

Views on the World of Wine

You often ask me as a wine presenter and writer to tell you my thoughts about what appears to be happening currently in the global wine market. Here are my latest thoughts!

The less than good (!) weather has of course continued - even here in France! It seems we have not had the degree of bad weather that you have had in the UK, but conditions have not been good for the steady ripening of the grapes that would be turned into wine. There has been a mix of heavy rain, extra-ordinary hail, and a general lack of sun – all of which can contribute easily towards a rotten and diseased crop. The lower part of Champagne, around the Aube, suffered devastating hail which, as in the Var, will knock out this year’s production and a large proportion of next year’s – such was its force.

I was talking yesterday with Philippe de la Poype who in the Beaujolais region makes our lovely Brouilly and Morgon and he told me that around the Beaujolais vineyards this year there has been mildew, oidium and other diseases, the combination of which he has never seen before. In conclusion, he told me that local growers were over the worst now but the 2012 result should be a small crop of pretty good quality. I suspect that this will be the story across Europe so we should expect to see prices increasing in several areas.

So perhaps the 2011 harvest in Bordeaux will seem to offer better value shortly. The en-primeur sales of a few months ago were lacklustre but I for one feel that this will turn out to be just a temporary hiccup. There are plenty of emerging markets who still want to buy up items of perceived luxury, and quality wine in my view should always manage to retain that image. Couple that fact with a looming shortfall of stock and I see sales, and prices, of 2011 claret picking up again in the autumn. We will be keeping an eye on the market and may yet buy some of the better 2011s. Do please say if you should be interested in acquiring some.

I was asked recently about the Cru Bourgeois classification of the red wines of Bordeaux, and was then minded to elaborate further here – it’s a topic that was in and out of the news over some years so it’s easy to have lost track of the current situation.

As you probably know, the top 100 Médoc châteaux were classified into five classes in 1855, based primarily on the prices these wines fetched over the previous 10 years. Then, in a tough post First World War era an attempt was made to give more saleability to 444 of the "also-rans", many of which produced perfectly good wines. A new term "Cru Bourgeois" was introduced and became synonymous with good red Bordeaux wines on a lower rung of the ladder of quality than the Crus Classés of 1855.

However whilst the term was created "officially", it was never ratified by the authorities. Over time this Cru Bourgeois classification became increasingly important as a point of difference between the thousands of Bordeaux producers, but it also became evident that a review was needed to bring about better regulation and so in 2000, ministers suggested a new framework. This was developed and then ratified in June 2003, including just 247 properties - a significant reduction from the original 444 members. This redrawing of the map also divided Cru Bourgeois into three sub classes - in decreasing order of merit: Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel, Cru Bourgeois Supérieur and Cru Bourgeois. And what’s more, there would be a review each 12 years so as to keep the classification relevant. All this seemed rather satisfactory until...

Several growers became displeased that they had been omitted or were not in the class where they had expected to be, and so challenged the new classification in the Bordeaux court. Local judges concluded that several properties had not been positioned correctly and in 2007 a judge ruled against the new system, decreeing that its selection might not have been as impartial as it should have been – some members of the selection committee were found to have been beneficiaries of the newly listed châteaux! The new classification was annulled immediately and any reference to "Cru Bourgeois" was banned.

And finally, as an attempt at partial retrieval the Alliance des Crus Bourgeois introduced an unofficial term "Label Cru Bourgeois" as a mark of quality. So since the 2008 vintage "Cru Bourgeois" is active again, but now the award is given annually only as a mark of quality, based on blind tasting and visits to the property. And there is also only one class.

With the one exception of Château Mouton-Rothschild, the 1855 classification has never been amended. With such a potentially huge financial impact at stake, it is not hard to see why it may never change!

Every year, I hear about some new intrusion into prime vineyard areas. Last year it was the road bridge spanning the river Mosel in Germany, for which hundreds of valuable hectares of vineyard will have to be destroyed in order to build a four lane motorway to speed up the journeys of budget airline travellers, or so it seems. Now a television mast is about to be erected 50 metres from an old chapel at the top of the monument hill of Hermitage in the northern Rhône. All the local big cheeses such as Chapoutier, Ferraton and Jaboulet are up in anger and the contractors can expect to see blockades in this isolated and picturesque part of the world when they hope to start work in a few weeks (after the summer holidays of course!).

For years, major châteaux in the Pessac-Léognan (Graves) region of Bordeaux such as Haut-Brion and Picque-Caillou have lived under a constant threat from the authorities to extend the airport’s runways through their valuable vineyards.

Of course there’s nothing new in all of this but when wine tourism now plays such an important role in any viticultural area, it is baffling to understand the approval of such developments – it’s almost like a wilful chipping away at another aspect of one of life’s oldest simple pleasures. Clearly there is not enough wine drinking in the echelons of planning offices!

Bio-Dynamic Calendar

As hard to comprehend as it all seems, so many top vineyards around the world are now practicing bio-dynamic viticulture that it is increasingly difficult to ignore this phenomenon. And over recent months, researchers in Germany have stated categorically that bio-dynamic wines do taste better than conventionally made wines. It is not for nothing that most major British supermarket chains only show off their wines to the Press on "Fruit"or "Flower"days! The other two elements "Root"and "Leaf"do not produce "bad"days as such, but you may find that your wines do not taste quite so open and fruity on these days.

On our home page at www.boursot.co.uk we show an indicator as to how your wines might taste today! There is then a link in the panel which will take you to an article "wot I wrote"in which I have tried to précis some information on this curious phenomenon which remains largely unproven scientifically.

Treat our indicator as a talking point and as a bit of fun - you tell me if you have noticed any difference between tasting the same wines on different element days!

Wine Tourism

Whilst much of Europe has been relatively slow to catch on, nowadays France's vineyard areas in particular have really embraced wine tourism. You just have to visit Epernay, Beaune or Bordeaux to appreciate how wine tourism has been accepted and developed and whilst you can try dropping in on whoever will see you, many of the top domaines will only see you as part of an officially recognised group.

So if you should like to visit one of France's viticultural areas, do go to our vineyard tours company on www.overthetoptours.net - we will take you behind the scenes in many of the great vineyard areas where you will meet and often dine with some of the producers. Alsace, Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Languedoc, Loire and Rhône are all areas that we visit and where we have great contacts who are happy to greet us and let us taste a wide selection of their wines.

We tailor private tours specific to your preferences, so if you have a group of friends or colleagues whom you would like to get together on a vineyard tour, please do contact me on info@overthetoptours.net and we can start working out a schedule and budget. We do all the planning and booking for you and our all-in prices are surprisingly reasonable (probably unbeatable!) - all you will need do is to come along and enjoy a trip of a lifetime!

As a testimonial from one of our recent trips for 24 people to Burgundy, just take a look at this:
"People are still talking about the wine trip. Those that went have had great fun telling those that didn't just what they missed. The 49 wines tasted have somehow become 100 and the light lunches and dinners magnified out of all proportion. We must look for somewhere else to take them another year." JM – June 2012

Boursot's New List

You can always see our latest list on this link and if you would like to print it, it's available on this link. In case you are seeing an old version of the price list, try pressing Ctrl and F5 simultaneously on your computer so as to refresh the page.

Many of our Alsace wines have moved on to the 2010 vintage – and in our view that’s no bad thing! What became clear with the 2009s was that they were all low in natural acidity which therefore seemed to show off a higher level of residual sweetness in the wines than we had become accustomed to. All producers had the same problems in 2009, but 2010 sees a return to the more traditional dry style of Alsace wines. Gorgeous, grapey and really refreshing!

We have introduced an unusual new “Vin de Table” this month - a Carignan from the Corbières region of southern France. Its flavour is gently brambly but it’s smooth at the same time. For those of you who know your southern grapes, this will be a revelation at an extremely reasonable price.

In response to some of your requests, we have introduced Pommeau de Normandie to our list. This is a refreshing blend of apple juice and Calvados and it is made from our Calvados producer Château du Breuil.

Special Offer for July

If you don’t know the wines of Alsace, we have reduced our price on Faller’s Pinot Blanc, which makes a perfect introduction to the dry fruity wines of the area. And the 350 year old Château de Targé on the southern bank of the Loire produces classic Saumur-Champigny with dry soft brambly fruit from the Cabernet Franc grape. You should take advantage of these one-off prices on these two unusual grapes now! If you then find they don’t suit you, we’ll always take back any resaleable bottles – there’s no risk to you.

Pinot Blanc, Tradition, Robert Faller et Fils (Alsace), 2010
A refreshing dry wine with a grapey softness on the nose and in the mouth, showing off one of the less aromatic styles of Alsace wines. Lovely and easy to appreciate chilled, either by itself or with lighter food. It’s especially good and versatile when served at large occasions such as weddings. Drier in 2010 than in 2009, this makes a great introduction to the wines of Alsace.

7,80€6,90€ (£5.50)

Château de Targé, Saumur-Champigny (Loire), 2009
A lovely medium to full tasting red made exclusively from that lovely grape, the Cabernet Franc. With a dry fruitiness on the palate, the wine, with a little bottle age, offers excellent value for a wine of such high quality.

9,40€8,50€ (£6.80)

These reduced prices are only available until our next newsletter in August, or whilst current stocks last. So this is most definitely the time to stock up! You can reserve your order by telephoning or e-mailing us and we will be pleased to hold onto your wine until you can collect. Stocks are offered on a first-come, first-served basis.

Property in France

You will see on our website under Local Info www.boursot.co.uk/directions.html that we have featured a few properties to buy or to rent that friends have asked us to publicise for them. This section is expected to grow so do come back and take a peek from time to time. The details have been prepared by the vendors or owners and if you should be interested, follow the contact details and you will then be put in direct touch with the vendor or owner. We do not act as agent and do not take anything for highlighting these properties.

In Conclusion

We are constantly being told that our offering is so much more exciting and wide ranging than the equivalent retail operation in Britain. We are proud of our wine selection which, thanks to your support, has been growing and is finding a wider audience with each passing month.

We do not advertise and it is unlikely that you will read a review on us in the British media, but we have found that your word of mouth continues to be our best source of new customers. So, if you are happy with what we do, please continue to help us by telling your wine loving friends, or tweet or blog about us - or you could refer them to our "Receive Monthly Newsletter" button on the home page of www.boursot.co.uk. We will be very grateful to you.

As with all our wines, we stand by our guarantee to take back any resaleable bottles if you find that the wine is not to your taste or if you have too many bottles left over after a party.

Remember: according to HM Customs & Excise you can take back as much wine as you like from France to Britain, provided that it's for your personal consumption. If you want to take back a lorry full of wine for your own use at weddings and parties, you are perfectly within your rights to do so.

We are open from 10 to 6 from MONDAY to SATURDAY (even if it's a French or British bank holiday), and we do not close for lunch.

If you are returning from a holiday, Boursot's Wine Collection is situated just off the old main north-south road (RN943) and 5 minutes off Junction 2 of the A26. Then from Ardres to the port or the tunnel in Calais takes 15 minutes. Please let us know if you should like to visit outside our normal opening hours; with a little advance notice, often it is possible to open up or else to leave your order nearby for you to collect - and we have a secure web page on which you can leave your card details.

We hope to see you here again very soon, whether it's for our delicious and easy to enjoy Petit Pont Réserve wines at around £3 a bottle or whether it's for something more exclusive for your special dinner parties. We have them all.

A bientôt!

With all best wishes,

Guy
