Domaine Josmeyer with the Sexy Spoon

友人 Ada 誠邀到 Spoon 晚膳，順便試試 Domaine Josmeyer 一系列餐酒。

Six Wines Tasted before dinner :

Josmeyer‘Fleur de Lotus’2006

(50% Pinot Blanc, Pinot Auxerrois , Pinot Gris / 40% Gewurz / 5% Muscat / 5% Riesling) Pale, brilliant greenish gold. Fresh, lively. Floral scents, coriander, white pepper. Dry, fruity, floral, crisp, refreshing. Long spicy, floral finish.

Josmeyer Riesling‘Le Kottabe’2006

A fruity nose with piercingly fresh lime peel and a touch of white flowers let space to a dry, bright mouth on an oily slate. Nice fruit acidity with the crispness of a young Riesling.

Josmeyer Riesling ‘Le Dragon’2003

The nose is open and develops lemon and grapefruit notes. The mineral side is present.

Josmeyer Pinot Gris Grand Cru Hengst 2001 ***是夜最愛

Seductive. Nose of sugar cane sweet. Honey, vanilla, peach and mineral flavours wrapped in a swath of silk. Off dry and full-bodied. Long finish with a hint of grapefruit peel.

Josmeyer Pinot Noir Herrenweg 2005

Pleasant nose of light spice and minerals coupled with stylistic Pinot Noir aromas of strawberry and red berries. In the mouth, the tannins are supple ending in a slightly spicy light wood spice finish.

Josmeyer Gewurztraminer Vendage Tardive 2002

The essence of the variety: yellow fruits, ginger, lychee, honey and smoke. Spicy, dense and sweet, but fresh and light. Long, aromatic finish.

8-course Very Sexy Menu :

Raw marinated fillet of Japanese sea bass, "Vierge" garnish

Consomme and soup

Terrine of duck foie gras, lemon/fig condiment, old Port wine reduction

昏黃微暗的店內環境，很有情調，眺望大型玻璃窗外的醉人夜色 …

若這刻與心中至愛，融融細語 … 叫人陶醉 …

 

 

不經不覺晚膳完畢已過零晨，席間跟 Ada 姐學了很多 Wine & Food pairing 的奧妙之處，實是一次難得的經驗！獲益良多！謝謝！
