Penang: Bordeaux Rendez vous 2013 @ Eastern & Oriental Hotel

everybuddy please meet Mr Aymar de Baillenx, the president of Chateua Beychevelle. each Chateau owner was appointed at each table, and it’s our pleasure  to have Mr Aymar with us that night.

Penang: Bordeaux Rendez vous 2013 @ Eastern & Oriental Hotel

Mr Aymar enlightened us more about his chateau, over the sips of his wine.

according to the legend, ships passing in front of the château lowered their sails as a sign of respect to Jean-Louis Nogarent de La Valette (such long name =.=), the  the Governor of Guyenne and an admiral of the French navy then. that’s how the name Beychevelle derived from i think, meaning lowered sails, as reflected in the chateau emblem. this depicts the ship with a griffin (the guardian of Dionysos’s wine crater in Greek mythology) on the prow. and hence Chateau Beychevelle was named 龙船庄 in Chinese!

Penang: Bordeaux Rendez vous 2013 @ Eastern & Oriental Hotel

wine, is a way of communication, where it unites us, although we are from different geographical region, different cultural background and different skin colors (Aymar de Baillenx, 2013).

i also asked him, what defines a good wine, to which he answered, “a good wine is a wine i like”.

which i couldn’t agree more! Penang: Bordeaux Rendez vous 2013 @ Eastern & Oriental Hotel

you know i am not really an atas girl, but i’ll try to decipher the wine flavour as properly as i could :/

Chateau Beychevelle 2003, this dark ruby-colored wine is berry fruity with firm tannin and firm acidity, best paired with.. strong-flavoured food, for example, red meat, cheese and even spicy food (i’m not talking about Sze Chuan kind of spicy), least desired with seafood.

here’s another shot of Mr Aymar with moi! Penang: Bordeaux Rendez vous 2013 @ Eastern & Oriental Hotel

i also got to sample some other wines that night.

Château Leoville Poyferre 2003, the most expensive wine among them, pitch dark in colour, rich with dark fruits and deep depth with an edge of tannic.

Chateau Guiraud 2001, golden yellow in colour (yes it’s a white!), strong note of honey, pineapple and apricot resulting in lots of sweetness! finishes wonderfully! i call it a lady’s wine Penang: Bordeaux Rendez vous 2013 @ Eastern & Oriental Hotel

other than wine, we had a glorious buffer spread prepared under the skilful hands of Chef Peter to be paired with the wines!
