Chateau Rauzan-Ségla by Karl Lagerfeld!

Damn!!! Where are my Chanel Shoes???
I can hanging out if I don't have this one... Who can going out without Chanel and it's the same for drinking...


If you are a particular fan of the Chanel Brand; you should know its designer Karl Lagerfeld decided to not only give his signature to clothes and sunglasses. This year he decided to sign a Margaux appellation Grand Crus Classé wine : Chateau Rauzan-Ségla which celebrate its 35th anniversary.


This collaboration is not suprising when we know that the vineyard is owned by the Chanel House for several years.


K.Lagerfeld calls this action a "one-off, a one time only".
He made a crazy bet, creating a modern Label for the vintage 2009.
He has designed a colorful label, representing the facade of the Chateau which was built in 1904. An audacious and modern sketch because the last label modification was in 2004.



The Chateau will sell 120 000 botlles of this limited collection with a price around 180€.
More than a bottle of wine, the 2009 vintage, sign Karl Lagerfeld is a true collector's item.

This vintage : a Fashion Design Wine.



So do you want one?

Meteorite wine


Last night, a little sad I drank a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon. The sky was clear, he sparkled with thousands of stars. I wasted an idea that would confuse the astronomy and wine?


The mix between space and wine led to the creation of "Meteorito", which already gives us a concrete evidence. Meteorito is simply a label for a bottle of wine aged in barrels and flavored with the meteorite. Go back a little story to understand the in and out. 


So here we are in Chile which is Cachapoal ValleyIt is precisely here located the vineyard of Ian Hutchinson producer of Cabernet Sauvignon. In addition to his work as a winemaker, this is English passion for astronomy, he also launched his own observatory in 2007 "centro astronomico Tagua Tagua".


Hutchinson Field is known for hosting many space debris, man has found a good idea to age your wine with these pieces from outer space. Thus the Spacewine is born!


The meteorite that marine currently in Chilean barrels would hit Earth 6,000 years ago and it would come from the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. It measures still 7.62 inches in diameter and give the wine taste "more alive". It will believe the word of the producer, since he believes to market its drink, it has not yet done.


Moreover, this meteorite is not his, he did for the role of the study. Technically it is owned by an American collector who seems to have clearly in mind their most valuable space rock quietly immersed in a barrel of red wine for 12 months.



So now, astronomy buffs have their very own brand of wine. "When you drink this wine, you are drinking elements from the birth of the solar system," Hutchinson said, adding that he wanted "to give everybody the opportunity to touch something from space: the very history of the solar system, and feel it via a grand wine."



For us it is finally the opportunity to taste the elixir semi-alien head in the stars.

To a Dead Uncle



Today, I want to speak about about wine and the love that we can bring it.


I put this song of Georges Brassens - Le vin for my uncle dead around two years now. This uncle was for me one of my mentor in the world of wine.

Indeed, my uncle was a great lover of life and all the good things of life such as Georges Brassens. And like him, he always opened fantastics bottles of wine to share this love of drinking extraordinary aromas of this lastest finds. That was a way of sharing this love of this fine beverage.

Like we know each other, Wine is always a drink for sharing love and magic and it is considered by everyone like that.
Is such a great and old beverage that you heard about it on the Bible or in the legends of Greek gods.

This love is today part of our life. We open a great bottle of wine for each moment we want to say  " I love you " to somebody: during a romantic diner, a wedding, a birthday party...

Uncle, we miss you but you still stay on our heart when we open a great bottle of this extraordinary beverage.
