2009 Loire vintage

Bunches of ripe Gamay

Arrived in Touraine yesterday – weather is fantastic: blue skies and warm sunshine. It was still 25.5˚C at 6pm yesterday. Grapes looking fine – very healthy. It is so warm that Vincent Roussely is having to start picking his Touraine Sauvignon at 4am in the morning to ensure that the grapes are cool and to preserve the aromas.

Tasting: 2005 and 2006 in the Loire

21 September 2009

Last night we had a look at the 2005 and 2006 vintages – two quite contrasting vintages. The weather was settled and fine in 2005. This allowed producers to be remarkably relaxed and pick just when the grapes were ready. 2006 was quite different – it was a race against rot. For many producers this was the fastest vintage ever as they pulled out all the stops to get the grapes in before they were gobbled up by grey rot ripping through the vineyards.

A few climate figures from Tours illustrate the differences between the two years:

Total rainfall
2005: 400mm
2006: 684mm

Rainfall: August to November (2005 first)
August: 24 – 40
Sept: 19 – 95
Oct: 45 – 60
Nov: 31 – 59

Average max temperatures: July - October (2005 first)
July: 26.1˚C – 30.4˚C
August: 26.3˚C – 23.2˚C
Sept: 25.8˚C – 24.9˚C
Oct: 23.6˚C – 18.6˚C

Hours of sunshine (2005 first)
Total: 1929 – 1753
From January – October: 1750 – 1592

2006 was the wetter year with crucially well above average rainfall in the September, which provoked the rot. Overall it was cooler although with a very hot July. 2005 wasn't super hot but had a long period of even warm temperatures from July through to October.

Wines tasted:



Apéritif: Crémant de Loire, Domaine de Nerleux, Régis Neau £10.50
Attractively soft and creamy sparkler from Régis made from 70% Chenin Blanc and 30% Chardonnay and two years sur latte.

2006 Expression de Gneiss, Muscadet Sèvre-et-Maine, Domaine de l'Ecu, Guy Bossard £10.50
Gneiss is a rock that is similar to schist containing minerals in horizontal bands. Guy Bossard went organic in 1975 and has been biodynamic since 1986. He vinifies his different soil types separately. The 2006 had attractive floral notes and some weight of fruit with long minerla finish. Rather overwhelmed by the creamy risotto, would, I think, have shown better with some prawns or oysters.


2005 Touraine Azay-le-Rideau, Pascal Pibaleau £10.30

This white made from 100% Chenin Blanc is somewhat of a rarity. Only 50 hectares are classified as Touraine Azay-le-Rideau.
Annual production is 1800 hl with rosé accounting for 60%. Grolleau has to makes up at least 60% of the blend with Cabernet, Côt and Gamay allowed as the additional grapes. (I mistakenly said last night that more white than rosé was made.) There is no red Azay – instead reds are classified as straight Touraine. Well made floral, dry wine with some richness reflecting the vintage, hint of wool and a typical touch of acidity and bitterness in the finish to make it refreshing. Worked better by itself rather than with the salmon and risotto where the flavours didn't marry with the dish.

2005 Sancerre, Cuvée d'Antan, Domaine Henri Bourgeois

Served with: Scottish girolles risotto with roast organic salmon
This was a particularly successful dish – 'delicious' was a frequent comment.

2006 Les Châtains, Saumur-Champigny, Domaine de Nerleux, Régis Neau

2006 Le Haut de la Butte, Bourgueil, Domaine de la Butte, Jacky Blot

2005 Coteau de Noire, Chinon, Philippe Alliet

Served with: English free range duck breast with potato torte and seasonal vegetables

2006 Chaume, Coteaux du Layon, Château-Pierre-Bise, Claude and Joëlle Papin

Served with Tarte Tatin with Creme Chantilly


One of two Tarte Tatins prepared by George

George's treacle tart with lemon sauce and clotted cream

George with the finished dish

Recipe taken from a chat with George, the RSJ's pastry chef.
Treacle tart is often made with just golden syrup but George prefers to use black treacle as well for a more flavoursome tart.
(Quantities for a round tart to serve eight)

The treacle tart Ingredients:
6 ozs fresh white bread crumbs
1 lb of golden syrup
4 ozs of black treacle
grated zest of a lemon
juice of half a lemon

one blind baked pastry tart – either short or sweet pastry according to preference

Combine bread crumbs, syrup, treacle, zest and lemon juice, mix and beat together. Then fill pastry case.

Bake in low oven (1/4-1/2 gas mark – 110C-130C) for between 45 mins - 60 mins. Make sure that the treacle mixture doesn't boil but it should set.

Remove from oven and allow tart to cool to room temperature.

Lemon sauce
(best made the day before)
Three lemons – zest and juice
1/4 pint of water
4 egg yolks
4 oz of sugar

Put lemon juice, zest and water into a pan and bring to the boil

Beat egg yolks and sugar together in a bowl

Add hot lemon mixture to beaten egg yolks and sugar, beat together. Then return mixture to pan and bring just up to the boil. However if it does boil this should be a problem as George says it doesn't curdle – he thinks it is the acid in the lemon juice which prevents curdling.

The lemon sauce

Let sauce cool, keep overnight in fridge and pass through a sieve the next day to remove lemon zest. Serve sauce cold with the tart and a scoop of clotted cream.


Treacle tart plus sauce

Black pepper gnocchi – recipe from a conversation with chef Ian Stabler

RSJ in early autumn sunshine

Black pepper gnocchi
Ingredients
250 g King Edward potatoes
salt
cracked black pepper
grated parmesan
chopped chives and parsley
75 g of ‘OO’ pasta flour

Method
Make plain mashed potatoes with no milk or butter.
Incorporate rest of the ingredients with the mashed potato in the order listed. Work together to form a sticky round ball.
Roll ball out into long sausage – you’ll probably make several. Cut into 25cm lengths.
Poach these in boiling salted water. As soon as the gnocchi rise to the surface scoop them out. This normally takes around four to five minutes. Depending on the size of your pan you may well want to do this in batches.

Set gnocchi aside. They will keep in a fridge for up to two days.

Ingredients for finished dish

Parmesan velouté
Ingredients:
25 g shallot
knob of butter
125 ml white wine
35 ml vermouth (preferably Noilly Prat)
125 ml vegetable stock
250 ml double cream
75 g (approx) parmesan


Warming the finished dish

Method
Sweat the shallots in a knob of butter
Add the white wine and reduce by at least half until it becomes quite sticky without being reduced to a sticky mass.
Add vermouth and reduce similarly
Add vegetable and reduce similarly
Add double cream and bring to the boil and reduce slightly
Add parmesan – approx 75 g but to taste


Finished dish

To serve – accompaniment to roast lemon sole (per portion)
Quarter 2-3 vine cherry tomatoes
Bring velouté sauce to boil add tomatoes over high heat, then cooked broccoli florets, warm thoroughly
Reheat gnocchi in boiling water – remove as they rise to surface. Gnocchi can be reheated in sauce but Ian recommends that separately in boiling water is better.
In dish combine gnocchi, vegetables and velouté sauce. Sprinkle over cracked pepper and parmesan. Serve immediately.

Vincent Roussely: harvest news

Vincent Roussely: Clos Roussely

Tom has been very pleased by how well the wines of Vincent Roussely, our new find in Touraine, have been selling. The Gamay has already sold out, although there are still some stocks of the Sauvignon Blanc, albeit depleted, left.

I spoke to Vincent this evening about when he planned to start picking:

"I'll be starting next Thursday with the Sauvignon, which is at 11.8% potential alc and 6.7 g of acidity – still a bit high. I think that while the dry weather in August ripened the grapes it also concentrated the acidity. Most of my Sauvignon is at Angé, where some of my vines were hit by hail. I think the hail damage caused stress to the vines and stopped them from developing and ripening for about two weeks, so I'll be starting a little later than people who weren't hit by hail. In parcels damaged by the hail I have probably lost about 40% of the crop. Taking the Sauvignon overall I guess I have lost about 20%.

The Gamay is looking good but I'm in no hurry to pick as I want to let it get properly ripe."

We will be touch with Vincent and our other producers during the harvest will be posting updates as we get them.

Chefs' recommendations: 2nd September

Easy riding Ian Stabler – Abby doesn't look fully convinced!

In the first of a regular series, Alex Lovett and Ian Stabler, RSJ's chefs, select their current favourite dishes. This week they have chosen from the new menu that starts on Friday 4th September:

First course
Vitello tonnato, shaved cucumber salad, marinated anchovies, caper berries £6.95 /£10.95
A reworking of an Italian classic. Can also be ordered as a main course.

Nigel's wine recommendation:
"This strong flavoured dish will happily take a light to medium red. I suggest either the
2008 Anjou Gamay, Domaine Richou £17.50
Fresh, light style but good concentration

2008 Anjou Rouge Château de la Roulerie, Philippe Germain £19.75
Very low yield, but quality high, good fruit and soft tannins"


Alex Lovett

Main course
Roast lemon sole, black pepper gnocchi, broccoli, cherry tomatoes, Parmesan velouté £16.95
Alex Lovett: We chose this dish because now is the season for sole, which we are sourcing from the Icelandic waters, and also from broccoli. The black pepper gnocchi is one of our specialities."

Nigel's wine recommendation:
"I'm going for this Saumur Blanc, one of our house selections. It's made by from Dominique Tessier – I've been really impressed over the past couple of years how much Dominique's wine-making has come on.
2008 Saumur Blanc Domaine des Hauts de Sanziers D. Tessier £16.50
Nice weight, ripe balanced finish with lovely freshness.
