This casual and fun-led tasting event saw some hearty participation with majority falling to the reds, both from the 2004 and 2005 vintage camp.

Despite some surprises, with 2004 being overshadowed by the unusual ripeness of abundant deep, dark red fruit character coming from the 2005. In general, 2004 was a vintage with good floral scent, balanced but lack depth and the runway. While we opened our 2005 wines a rather impatiently, the wines rewarded fruit driven palates while masking the other characteristics such as spice, earth and floral components which is the mainstay of examples of Burgundian wine.

In my personal opinion, the wines from Jacques-Frederic Mugnier excelled with its aromatic properties, with Comte Georges de Vogue not far behind, but these two crown jewels amongst Burgundian collectors may not appeal to the average wine lover. It takes years and expense before you leap to the forefront of the top ethnos of Burgundy. With some exception of course.

For affordability and drinkability, the Montille Bourgogne and Freeman worked wonders the moment they were poured. Both had balance and were round enough to be drunk by almost the entire participating audience.

So what would be your best impression of this session? I would feel the aromatic personality stood out with Mugnier being the longest lived on this front but shortchanged on the palate. As most had medium finishes, the best palate will go to the Freeman and best served blind, especially in a Sommelier glass!

It was a night of discovery, and delight! As below is a list of wines, sampled and reviewed, in serving order.

Wine lovers can look forward to another bubbly as Hong Tong Bee’s Champagne Renaissance (新生香檳酒), frizzes into the scene.

From a well-attended launch held recently in Singapore, Clinton describes Renaissance as about balance, with light biscuit and creamy flavor with 12.5% alcohol to match the fine cuisine we have in Asia, especially Cantonese.

酒 met with Clinton Ang, 35, to understand the smile behind one of Singapore’s successful wine player and importer with their latest label. Champagne Renaissance.

酒: How did Champagne Renaissance start? Where did the name come from?

Since Cornerstone began in 1997, we have wanted to make wine suited for Asian cuisine and I had always wanted to do Champagne, as they are the happiest drink in the world. We caught up with the old house of Cattier (whom has been producing Champagne since the late 17th century) and coincidentally we hit if off with the technical plans and the amount of investment we wanted to put in.

Most of all was the name. We started off with proposing the name as Champagne Cornerstone, Genesis when we submitted to CIVC, which is the region’s governing and approval authority. Cornerstone sounded too new world, while Genesis was already taken. As Renaissance is a trademark registered by the Cattier family, and with an existing label ‘Cuvee Renaissance’, which we decided to buy into the brand and the worldwide rights to market and distribute.

酒: Who are your targeted drinkers? Are they mostly wine experts or complete novices?

When we did a study of the Champagne market, we recognized there were 2 types of Champagne buyers, the S$95 to S$100 mark, and the S$60 to S$70 mark. Being a Premier Cru and grapes from Chigny-les-Roses, we could have always priced it up, but we wanted to be at the middle so we priced it at S$75.00.

It is targeted at primarily at any Asian restaurant, while relying much on spicy cuisine like Thai, Malay, and Indian but more towards Chinese Cantonese, Japanese, Korean and cultural older cuisine styles of Asia.

From our pilot test, we found out ladies also like our Champagne as it is light, it doesn’t get them too high quickly. We believe our Champagne will remain appealing through its elegance and sophistication.

酒: What is the difference of Renaissance as compared to Champagne and sparkling alternatives in the market, and how would you approach the competition?

Our unique Champagne as you are aware, goes through the méthode champenoise. With good internal cash flow, we are able to keep our Champagne aged for 24 months in the cellar before release. As for competition, we believe firmly in Renaissance as one with balance, sophistication, with good sugar and acid, with an overall appeal to Asians.

酒: If you have a favorite Champagne wine, which and what would be your choice like?

Well, if I were given one choice to drink one Champagne in the world, for the rest of my life, it would be Pol Roger Non Vintage Champagne White Foil. As Sire Winston Churchill (a famed historial political leader from 1940s Great Britain) said, In Victory I deserve it, in defeat, I need it.

酒: What else should we know about Champagne Renaissance?

Well, in our opinion, Champagne Renaissance is the happiest drink in the world, and we like to say in celebration, we want it, and in remorse we need it. The Champagne is the perfect accompaniment and great match to good food, good wine, and good cuisine, especially when our Champagne is made to match Asian cuisine.

From the pleasant looks and relaxed faces, a lady certainly thinks it’s a good drink. Ms. Janice Wong, 25, of 2am DessertBar added, “It is sweet, showing intensity which met expectation. It has floral smell, with elegant bubbles and aged well enough to pair with Dim Sum”.

Champagne Renaissance (新生香檳酒) retails for S$75.00 (or RM$179.00, HK$430.00, 377 元) (Price is excluding sales tax/ 不包括銷售稅).
