The Moët & Chandon Champagne Bar is billed as a must-visit venue for fizz lovers in England's capital. It will be located on the ground floor of the iconic department store, Harrods.


The centrepiece is a bold, hand-crafted 21m x 5m gold chandelier that forms an arch referencing those of the Maison’s wine cellars. The intimate 34-seat bar will offer a full range of Moët & Chandon Champagnes, from the iconic Moët Impérial, Rosé Impérial and Ice Impérial trio, to the current Moët & Chandon Grand Vintage 2013 and Grand Vintage Rosé 2013 releases.


Savoury and sweet food pairings to accompany each glass have been created by Harrods’ team of in-house chefs, from seafood favourites to pastries.

If Pauillac can be seen as the bastion of ‘traditional’ Red Bordeaux, then Margaux represents its other facet in producing wines that are among Bordeaux’s most sensual and alluring. It is the largest commune in the Médoc, encompassing the communes of Cantenac, Soussans, Arsac and Labaude, in addition to Margaux itself. Located in the centre of the Haut-Médoc, Margaux is the closest of the important communes to the city of Bordeaux.


The soils in Margaux are the lightest and most gravelly of the Médoc, with some also containing a high percentage of sand. Vineyards located in Cantenac and Margaux make up the core of the appelation with the best vineyard sites being located on well-drained slopes, whose lighter soils give Margaux its deft touch and silky perfumes. Further away from the water, there is a greater clay content and the wines are less dramatically perfumed.


Margaux is the most diffuse of all the Médoc appelations with a reputation for scaling the heights with irreproachable wines such as Ch. Margaux and Ch. Palmer, but also plumbing the depths, with too many other châteaux not fulfilling their potential. There has been an upward shift in recent years, but the appellation cannot yet boast the reliability of St Julien. However, the finest Margaux are exquisitely perfumed and models of refinement and subtlety which have few parallels in Bordeaux.


Recommended Châteaux: Ch. Margaux, Ch. Palmer, Ch. Brane-Cantenac, Ch. Rauzan-Ségla , Ch. Dufort-Vivens, Ch. Ferrière, Ch. du Tertre, Ch. Giscours, Ch. d'Angludet

Pomerol is the smallest of Bordeaux's major appellations, with about 150 producers and approximately 740 hectares of vineyards. It is home to many bijou domaines, many of which produce little more than 1,000 cases per annum.

Both the topography and architecture of the region is unremarkable, but the style of the wines is most individual. The finest vineyards are planted on a seam of rich clay which extends across the gently-elevated plateau of Pomerol, which runs from the north-eastern boundary of St Emilion. On the sides of the plateau, the soil becomes sandier and the wines lighter.

For a long time Pomerol was regarded as the poor relation of St Emilion, but the efforts of Jean-Pierre Moueix in the mid-20th century brought the wine to the attention of more export markets, where its fleshy, intense and muscular style found a willing audience, in turn leading to surge in prices led by the demand for such limited quantities.

There is one satellite region to the immediate north, Lalande-de-Pomerol whose wines are stylistically very similar, if sometimes lacking the finesse of its neighbour. There has never been a classification of Pomerol wines.


Recommended Châteaux : Ch. Pétrus, Vieux Ch. Certan, Le Pin, Ch. L’Eglise-Clinet, Ch. La Conseillante, Ch. L’Evangile, Ch. Lafleur, Trotanoy, Ch. Nenin, Ch. Beauregard, Ch. Feytit-Clinet, Le Gay.

1970 Pétrus, Pomerol, Bordeaux








1970 Pétrus, Pomerol, Bordeaux​



Product: 19708010117

Prices start from £16,012.00 per double magnum (300cl). Buying options










Description​



"The dark garnet, rust-rimmed 1970 Petrus has developed magnificently over the last 4-5 years. Tight and reserved early in life, it has blossomed into a true blockbuster. This massive, highly-extracted, full-bodied, jammy, thick, unctuously-textured wine possesses a huge, spice, tobacco, black cherry, mocha-scented nose. It is a real turn-on. The wine is fully mature, but it has at least 20 years of life remaining. This spectacular Petrus is now superior to the 1971, which out-performed it for nearly two decades. Owners of this wine have a true nectar in their cellars. Last tasted 6/96" 98/100 pts (Robert Parker - Bordeaux Book 1998)

Greetings from the UK! Love watching your videos man and hearing the way you talk on camera. I started smoking when i started college at age 16, ended up in a bad crowd and then before you know i was hooked. First cig was a sterling dual capsule and as soon as i had one i was like 'i need another one'. I use cigarettes for depression, anxiety and stress, it just seems to work for me. It goes hand in hand with drinking and thats another reason i cant quit, the nights out with friends getting drunk. The craving kicks in 10x as hard when i am tipsy. I smoke a few small roll ups now during the day, in the morning with a cup of coffee. After dinner and a few before bed. I smoke smooth yellow tobaccos such as gv yellow, holborn yellow etc, a small cig is all i need plus having a roll up is a personal therapy of mine in my relaxing quiet times in life. Very hard to give up as you cant picture some moments in life without a smoke. I regret i started yet it doesnt want to leave me just yet. But it will one day. It will. Happy living man!

I think that Woody Allen is a much better artist than Godard. Godard's movies were ambitious and inovative at the time, but they have aged very poorly. Godard is an artist that youy like when you're a young and pretentoioous film student, but evenatually, as Tarantino said; you outgrow him. That doesn't happen with Woody Allen. Woody is a director that you also love when you're a pretentious young film student, but his movies stay with you and yo still love them when you get older.
