THE WINE LIST - The Peat Inn

THE WINE LIST
Our wine list offers wines from around the world which we hope will give pleasure, interest
and possibly excitement. Wine may be becoming too complicated for its own good and
often the best advice we can offer is to keep it simple.
Systematic vintage notes are not given. With the help of the wine media we have become
obsessed by vintages to an extent that we risk ignoring wonderful wines at reasonable prices
just because a wine pundit has told us that they come from a vintage that only gets 3 glasses
on a scale of 5, 6 points out of 10 or similar. There are always some successes in even the
most difficult years and some poor wines in the very good ones. For this reason there is an
old adage that there are no good vintages, only good bottles. Following this precept can be
good for both pocket and palate!
WINE SERVICE
We prefer to decant red wines in the service area as soon as they are ordered. This reduces
movement of the wine from rack to decanter and so minimises disturbance of the natural
deposits formed with age. If you would prefer to have your wine opened and decanted at
your table, please do not hesitate to ask when ordering.

Ca’ del Bosco, Dosage Zero, Franciacorta..……..
2009 90.00
A rare and exciting find produced by the highly revered Maurizio Zanella, leader of
the Italian wine renaissance of the early ‘70s, whose wines were the earliest and still
remain the best expressions of the Franciacorta region. A blend of 70% Chardonnay,
17% Pinot Nero and 13% Pinot Bianco, to which no added sugar is used at the
dégorgement stage. The result is a perfectly balanced, elegant palate of damsons,
yeast, vanilla and minerals to rival the complexity of any Champagne.

Graves & Pessac-Léognan
The grape varieties used here are Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc. Sémillon provides ageing
potential and at maturity, when well made, wines of great aroma and finesse, lacking
recognition therefore often good value. Wine making has greatly improved recently and white
Graves is not the drab demi-sec it so often was 25 years ago!

of vanilla and toast balanced by lively fruit and aromas.

WHITE BURGUNDY
White Burgundy provides the best Chardonnay based wines in the world and, come to that,
the best dry white wines in the world. Even within this one area the range of styles is
astonishing and shows how well this grape expresses the enormous range of terroirs on which
it flourishes. Some of these wines may, or even must, be drunk young. The greatest may
require many years of cellaring. As with red Burgundy, the quality of a given vintage should
not be confused with that of Bordeaux..
The WHITE BURGUNDY LIST is divided into six SECTIONS:
1. Regional Wine
2. Chablis
3. The Mâconnais
4. Côte Chalonnaise
5. Village appellations of the Côte de Beaune

Grand Cru Les Clos, Domaine Laroche……….…….…..
The style of Chablis may vary greatly depending on the use of barrels for fermenting and
ageing the wine. Louis Michel and Jean Durup are notable exponents of the stainless steel
approach, producing wines of the purest fruit aromas and minerality. Tribut vinifies in oak
barrels and the result is an enriching underpin of vanilla and other flavours derived from the
oak. The Grand Crus are lightly oaked, discreetly increasing the density and complexity of
the wine.

With 24 Ha. Domaine Bize is one of the largest domains in the Côte de Beaune but quality
here is never compromised by size. The whites are now made by Guillaume Bott
(apprenticed at Sauzet) who has revolutionised the blancs – top quality, great texture and
minerality
6. Côte de Nuits

Marsannay, ‘Les Champs Perdrix’, Domaine Marc Roy…...
2010 54.00
Unusual to find a white communal wine in the Côte de Nuits but Chardonnay thrives here
on the marly soils producing wines with finesse and solid body.

LOIRE
The Loire Valley is famous for its dry white wines many of which are made from Sauvignon
Blanc, here in its natural home where it is also called Blanc Fumé. The Chenin Blanc grape
makes interesting wine in a variety of styles from dry through to very sweet with a capacity to
age well.

ALSACE
The wines of Alsace have appealing fruit flavours and drink well with food. The names can
be confusing, despite the use of grape varieties and quality levels are not as easy to define as
other appellations. However, the general quality is good so you have very little to fear.
Wines are listed by grape variety: the Riesling is dry and flexible with food; the
Gewürztraminer is spicy, herbaceous and distinctive; the Pinot Gris is richer and fatter.

Professor of Chemistry at St Andrews University where his mother still lives.
However, the wines merit listing in their own right – clean, fresh with just a little oak.

R E D B O R D E A U X – (Claret)
Bordeaux has come in for criticism recently and seems to be in a permanent state of crisis! It
remains however the greatest fine wine area in the world, both for size and for the variety of
its production. A few names are enough to make the point: Latour, Margaux, Cheval Blanc,
Pétrus, Yquem, Haut Brion Blanc…
Much of the production is in fact far less prestigious than this and a great deal of it, despite
the received opinion of New World buffs, is very good indeed, and above all very good value
for money. A new generation of wine makers is at work: mainly young, technically
accomplished and committed, the proponents of a style more in tune with the times, suppler
and fruitier than that lean, tough old Bordeaux that has been swept off the shelves by
Australia and the rest. Not everyone can wait 10 to 15 years before opening a bottle nor do
they necessarily want to pay the price entailed.
At The Peat Inn we are searching out the producers of excellent lesser Bordeaux, buying
direct from the vineyards when we can. We shall of course continue to offer the great wines
in their mature prime.
The BORDEAUX RED WINE LIST is divided into THREE SECTIONS:
1. Bordeaux and the Côtes de Bordeaux
2. The Left bank – the Médoc, Graves and Pessac-Léognan
3. The Right Bank – Saint-Emilion and Satellites
Fronsac, Lalande-de-Pomerol and Pomerol

Indisputably the star of the appellation. Owned since 1988 by François Mitjavile (owner
of Tertre Rôteboeuf), the vines here grow in a natural amphitheatre stretching down to
the Dordogne where night frosts are a rare occurrence. Made with grapes deliberately
picked very late, this wine is brimming with fruit with a rich creamy palate and a scent of
chocolate.

Graves is very good value, Cabernet based wine, the name deriving from the Garonne gravels
on which the vines are grown. Said to have a characteristic earthy flavour, this does not

RED BURGUNDY
For convenience Burgundy is used in the sense of ‘Greater Burgundy’, to include Beaujolais
and other, much less well known wines, which we shall be introducing in the future.
Burgundy vintages suffer from confusion with those of Bordeaux, with which they have little
in common. Despite a run of recent low yielding harvests and the inevitable ensuing price
rises we have still managed to source many well-crafted wines at something like reasonable
prices. We offer many of the established top producers of the region as well as some of the
stars of the future such as Roblet-Monnot, Dureuil-Janthial and Arlaud whilst their prices are
still affordable!
The RED BURGUNDY LIST is divided into five SECTIONS:
1. Beaujolais
2. Regional wines
3. The Côte Chalonnaise
4. Communal appellations, Côte de Beaune
5. Communal appellations, Côte de Nuits
1. BEAUJOLAIS
Beaujolais made from the Gamay grape gives an instantly appealing fruity wine – no frills, no
complications, just pleasure.

RHÔNE
The Rhône wine region is really two: in the north, below Vienne, the vineyards constitute a
narrow band, the vines tucked discretely behind clear boundaries on spectacularly vertical
slopes. The restrictive landscape explains the rarity of the finest wines – Hermitage, with a
total of 120 hectares and Côte Rôtie with 197, more or less entirely made from the Syrah
grape. In the south, after 60km of vineless valley, the vineyards spread everywhere across a
more accessible landscape. Most of the vast production of the regional appellation Côtes-duRhône comes from the south while ‘top end’ production is assured by Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
Ten grape varieties are in common use, the most important of these being Grenache,
Mourvèdre and Syrah and no fewer than 23 are allowed

Much investment and improvement has happened in this vast and heterogeneous area. The
result is that very good wine can be found here at prices reflecting the absence of Grand Cru
status! Ours are typical of the modern, improved styles.
Costières de Nimes
This is a vineyard area south-east of Nimes and north of the Camargue linking in fact the
Rhône to the Languedoc region. Grape varieties are the indigenous regional types such as

SOUTH WEST FRANCE
Vineyards here date back to Gallo-Roman times. The principle grape of Madiran is Tannat
which gives a natural astringent character to the wines. However modern appellation rules
allow the use of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc resulting in wines with more
density and charm. The winter freeze of 1956 destroyed all but 1% of the vines in Cahors
and with this clean slate the growers overwhelmingly planted Malbec (known locally as
Auxerrois) which now must constitute 70% of the finished wine, the remainder being Tannat
and Merlot.

SWEET WINE
Sweet wine is very adaptable and may be drunk with enjoyment throughout a meal, provided
the dishes are appropriate: terrines, foie gras, white fish in cream or butter sauces, white
meat, blue and hard cheeses and some, but only some, desserts. Sauternes and its relatives
are usually thought of as dessert wines but this only works if the dessert is not too sweet, in
fact it must be less sweet than the wine. If it is not (Christmas pudding for example!) the
flavour of the wine is killed and all you perceive is its acidity. This is important but not what
you have paid for.
As the uses of sweet wines are not well understood, such wine is not as expensive as it should
be, especially given the difficulty of making it and the small amount you end up with. In
short they are very good value, often revelatory for those unfamiliar with them and generally
great enhancers of a meal. We therefore list quite a few, some familiar, others fabulous and
little known rarities, to suit all pockets. Please ask for advice on degrees of sweetness and
suitability for different dishes.

Cadillac
This area, along with Loupiac and Sainte-Croix-du-Mont, is just across the Garonne from the
Sauternes district and enjoys the same micro-climate. The best wines can be better than
many Sauternes and are certainly cheaper. La Bertrande is one of these and the Summum
really is the top. Only 1500-2000 bottles are produced each year, it has been eulogised by the
Figaro, has astounded the Meilleur Sommelier du Monde and is regularly rated with 1er Cru
Sauternes in blind tastings – and here it is in Fife, thanks to our contacts with the Château!

The 1995 is very sweet and unctuous, a true dessert wine. The 1998 is concentrated,
elegant and aromatic whilst the 2002, an outstanding year with perfect conditions for
Botrytis, has great complexity and length.

S O U T H E R N R H O N E & A U D E – Vin Doux Naturel
Vin Doux Naturel is made by blocking the fermentation by addition of alcohol. The
result is a lightly fortified wine. Muscat should be drunk young, while the rich, complex
bouquet suggesting lemon and roses is intact. The French drink this sort of wine as an
aperitif. In contrast Rancio wines have been subject to controlled oxidation over many years
by exposure to the weather in barrels without topping up.
