  • Absinthes

    Absinthe is an alcohol whose main component is absinthe plants.

    A little history: before 1830 absinthe is an aperitif locally spread in the region of Pontarlier. On June 14, 1830 a French expeditionary force landed at Sidi Ferruch in order to conquer Algeria. French soldiers are then advised to dilute a few drops of absinthe in the water to "purify" it. The return of these soldiers in all regions of France makes this drink so popular that in 1870 the absinthe represents 90% of aperitifs consumed in France. Under the pressure of the anti-alcohol leagues and the wine lobby Absinthe is banned in France in 1915 for reasons of public health (too much concentration of thujone in absinthes was crazy ..)

    In November 1998, Michel Rocard then Prime Minister signs a decree authorizing and regulating the presence of thujone (molecule of the essential oil of absinthe) in drinks.

    Absinthe can be made according to 3 processes, distillation, dissolution of essences and maceration.

    How to serve Absinthe?

    Pour the pure Absinth in a specific glass, place a shovel with Absinthe (spoon with holes), place a sugar on the shovel and pour ice cold water slowly.

    Why Absinthe gets cloudy Ingredients that are not soluble in water (anise, fennel, etc.) form emulsions that disturbs absinthe. The same phenomenon explains the fact that anise is troubled.

    In 1999 "L'Absente" distilled by the Distilleries de Provence is the first French "absinthe" since the ban of 1915.

  • Mignonettes Alcools
  • Ports Tawny Colheita...

    Porto is a mutated wine from Portugal, produced only in the Alto Douro Valley, about a hundred kilometers from the city of Porto where are located the big trading houses in Villa Nova de Gaia.
    It is a bit to Colbert then Prime Minister of King Louis XIV that we owe the Porto. Indeed he proclaimed an embargo against England and the English, deprived of our wines of Aquitaine then had to turn to the wines of Porto. These wines do not support the trip. An English merchant Sir Beardsley is thinking of adding brandy pure wine to prevent it from turning. It is in this form of mutated wine that we know Porto.
    The treading at the foot of grapes in Lagares (large concrete vats) to the sound of accordions is still done for folklore but also for the best ports (Vintage and LBV).
    The mutage takes place during the fermentation, when the must reaches 7 ° to 8 °, it is added a wine brandy grading at 77 °. This addition of alcohol has the effect of stopping any fermentation. The sugar contained in the must at this time that would have quietly transformed into alcohol during the alcoholic fermentation is then found to be residual sugar (which explains the sweet side of the Port). There are two major families of portos. The Oxidative Ports, (Tawny, Colheita ..) and the Reductive Port (LBV, Vintage, Crusted).
    The Oxidative Ports are raised in casks then in barrels (pipas) and are therefore in contact with the air through the wood. Oxidation of the wine is possible. These already oxidized Portos can easily be kept for one year once the bottle is opened.
    Les Portos Réductifs, are raised 2 years in lightning then are bottled and continue to improve. These wines are very long-lasting wines from 20 to 40 years old. These Port wines that have not been oxidized can not be kept long once the bottle is opened like the wines we know.
    Porto Ruby is on the border of the two types of Port because it spends 4 to 6 years before being bottled. It is fruity and marked by slight oxidative notes.
    We offer a wide range of Portos including Ramos Pinto Houses and its Lagrima, Taylor's, Burmester, Andresen, Barros, Churchill's, Sao Pedro, Quinta do Tedo.

  • Rums

    Rum is an alcohol produced from sugar cane. The sugar cane is cultivated as soon as a few conditions are met: heat, strong sunshine, rich and well-drained soils. It is not surprising to find sugar cane in many places around the world. (South America, Caribbean, Florida, Mexico, Nicaragua India, Philippines, Thailand, China, Malaysia, Madagascar, Reunion, Kenya, Zambia, South Africa and many others ....). So it is not surprising to discover almost as much of Rums as there are countries producing sugar cane. Don Papa Rums of the Philippines are currently feasting us and it is a safe bet that in a few years we will talk about Chinese or Indian rums.
    There are two categories of rums: agricultural rum made from vesou (sugar cane juice) and sugar rum, a molasses rum (by-product from sugar production). A rum occurs in several stages. First the grinding of the cane from which it is extracted a juice (vesou), then the fermentation of this vesou or molasses to obtain a slightly alcoholic juice (between 5 ° to 10 °) .This juice is then distilled to obtain white rum. This white rum will become an Amber Rum during a barrel aging for 1 to 2 years. An old rum will have aged at least 3 years in summer and an Hors d'Age will have spent more than 5 years in summer. We offer a very wide selection of Rums on our site but also in cellar. For more information call us 7/7 from 10h00 to 19h00 at 03 21 36 40 40. Here are some names to put your mouth water.

  • Saké

    Saké. Sake is little known in UK and often confused with a distilled alcohol based on sake which title between 40 ° and 60 °. It is necessary to associate the sake with japan with the fact that the wine is in France. A drink grading between 12 ° and 20 ° serving as accompaniment for meals or as an aperitif. The manufacture of sake follows the main stages that are: the work on the rice (polishing, soaking and cooking), the fermentation of the rice with the help of yeasts proper to each producer, the bottling.
    There are 2 types of sake, Futsu Shu, a sake for everyday consumption without great demands of rice quality, polishing, yeast quality or ripening time. The Tokutei Meisho Shu a sake of higher-end naming that will meet quality criteria both on the polishing of the grain of rice (the more the% is important the more the heart of the grain of rice is discovered and the quality of the sake increases) that on the addition (Honjozo Shu) or not (Jummai Shu) alcohol after fermentation and a maturation time before filtering and bottling.

  • Sherry & Madeira

    Sherry, known as Sherry or Jerez takes its name from the city of Jerez in Andalusia where it is produced. It is a mutated wine obtained by adding a wine brandy. The harvest is dried one to two days in the sun in order to concentrate the aromas. Three grape varieties are used, the Palomino Fino, which produces the best known dry sherry being the Tio Pepe brand, the Pedro Ximenez which produces a softer sherry and Muscat also called Moscatel which produces a very sweet sherry.

    There are two main categories of sherrys, the Fino and the Oloroso. For the Fino, the flor, yeast film formed naturally on the surface of the wine during the winemaking process plays a decisive role in obtaining Fino sherry because it protects the wine from oxidation by depriving the wine of any contact with oxygen from the ambient air. The Fino is a wine that has a title around 15 ° because above 16 °, the flower dies. This process of oxidation / reduction is similar to what we know with the wines of the Jura and breeding under sail. Fino lighter is a Manzanillo, a Fino long stored and raised in solera is an Amontillado.

    For the Oloroso, closer to the Tawny Port, there is fermentation in barrels and addition of a grape brandy and a controlled aeration. The sugar concentration of an Oloroso will give either a Palo Cortado or an Amoroso or a Cream.

    The solera is a wine aging system. The wine at the end of aging destined to be conditioned, is withdrawn from the solera. The quantity of wine removed is replaced by that of the two barrels above and so on. The Spaniards say that with this system, the old wine educates the young. The wine made from a solera in place for a century still contains a tiny proportion of the first century-old wine. This system also ensures the continuity of the style of a house. We propose you the following houses on site or in store, Lustau, Sandeman, TiopPepe Gonzalez Byass and El Maestro Sierra whose Solera dates from 1830 !!!
