WINES PRODUCED IN HARMONY WITH THE NATURAL BALANCE OF LIVE CYCLES

Nature and an environmentally-friendly approach are a priority at Château Monestier La Tour. Biodynamic methods and principles are an extension of its founder’s philosophy. Known as anthroposophy, it combines ecology and spiritualism. By using life forces and cosmic rhythms, biodynamic agriculture engages the plant in an ongoing process, in a future and a cycle.

Château Monestier La Tour

Built in the 14th century, Château Monestier La Tour overlooks the village of Monestier. It is the gem of an estate stretching over more than 100 hectares, of which more than a third is devoted to vines under the appellations of Bergerac and Saussignac.

Karl-Friedrich Scheufele, a great wine lover, explored different regions in viticultural France before he fell under the spell of Monestier and its château in January 2012.

Karl-Friedrich Scheufele, the co-chairman of the Chopard company, is a perfectionist who has a very special relationship with nature and time. His ambition was to build an estate which would be able to produce wines complying with his ethical convictions: this is how biodynamic cultivation became an obvious choice. The creation of a vegetable and herbal tea garden offers the possibility to produce, dry and stock all the plants to be used for the treatment of the vine. The fate of Monestier La Tour is tied to this virtuous approach which contributes over time a qualitative improvement of the terroirs through a sustainable respect of the soils and the ecosystem.

Bought 5b for 19/b from Wine Library almost 11 years ago; this is #3. Decanted with normal sediment for its age. Inky dark purple; subtle grapey cab franc nose; subdued black fruit (esp blackberry), some tartness, very good mouthfeel; some persistence. Delicious, probably the best Berg overall that I've ever tasted and indicative of what's possible in this traditionally modest appellation. Glad I have 2 more. Stored horizontally in a cool, dark basement and then condo basement locker since purchase. My evaluation: For my non-points, 4-level rating scheme, see earlier posts. This is outstanding- when considering quality, age, and price.

12/11/2015 - SAND Likes this wine:

Nose: Deep red and dark berries fruit (blueberry & crowberry) plus some forest herbs. Also a nice, earthy touch. Taste: Medium bodied, dry tannins, maturing fruit with spicy acidity and elements of "fat" herbs a la garrigue. 13.12.2015: After two days in open bottle (in a very cold fridge) the nose has evolved and is now full of forest herbs, including pine and juniper bushes, towards garrigue but different, "cooler". Behind this is a deep and dark pool of berries, blueberry & crowberry as before but now joined by blackcurrant. The taste has changed less, except rounded off a little but is every bit as fruity and spicy as it was when opened. With this last experience I tend to think that there may be a bit of further cellaring potential. However, whether it will evolve or just keep I'm more unsure about (drink 2005-2018?) 05.01.2016: A portion which had been kept in a closed and full, smaller bottle shows off excellently, every bit as fruity and fresh as during the first few days, despite it being more than three weeks since opening.

11/7/2015 - sand likes this wine:.

Nose: Blackberries, blueberries, leather, some barnyard. Taste: Some fruit and fruit sweetness left, medium light body, some tannins. Mature. Nice with meat and rich sauce. Drink up. 08.11.2015: On day 2 after opening the barnyard is gone from the nose which is now more pure fruit, including blackcurrant. The taste is also slightly more structured and seems slightly younger and fresher than yesterday.

Karl-Friedrich and Christine Scheufele – Château Monestier La Tour

Karl-Friedrich and Christine Scheufele fell in love with the Périgord region on their honeymoon and acquired Château Monestier La Tour in 2012. Co-chairman of the Chopard Group and owner of the wine merchant Le Caveau de Bacchus in Geneva, Karl-Friedrich is a passionate wine collector. He wanted to get involved in production and after 7 years of reorganisation and investment, the 30 hectare wine estate produces wines in Bergerac, Côtes de Bergerac and Saussignac. Their strong attachment to the region and their sensitivity for the terroir and nature present on the estate naturally led them to produce organic and biodynamic wines. A haven of peace and biodiversity, the wines are therefore made with respect for nature, anchored in their terroir and endowed with a subtle balance between depth, freshness and fruit.

This French Winery Is Dedicated To The Organic Side of Wine

At château monestier la tour, a commitment to biodynamic winemaking processes bears fruit..

Nestled within the famed Bordeaux region of France, in the rolling hills of Bergerac, Château Monestier La Tour is changing the way certain French vintners make wine. With roots dating back to the 18th century when the structure was a monastery, this winery recently completed a three-year conversion period that, as of 2017, marks it as a certified organic winery. Beginning with the 2018 vintage, bottles reflect the culmination of the brand’s commitment to organic growing and biodynamic principles of wine production.

After purchasing the winery in 2012, owners Karl-Friedrich Scheufele (co-president of Chopard) and his wife, Christine, made a substantial commitment to take a modern approach to winemaking using biodynamic and organic methods. The brand’s La Tour Grand Vin has since won several awards, as has its Cadran label. The wines and cuvées are free of sulfites, all reflecting the uniquely infused terroir.

When the Scheufele family took over Château Monestier La Tour, they began by completely renovating the château and the grounds, some areas of which date back to the 13th century. Following a renovation by previous owners that took place from 1994 to 1998, The Scheufeles restructured according to the original Renaissance architecture and paid close attention to the land. Their goal: to make wines that respect nature and embrace local flavors. Interestingly, the idea of preserving the land parallels the ethos of Chopard, where ethical and Fairmined gold is now the norm. At the winery, the idea of biodynamics is applied not only to the vineyards but also to the treatment of the harvest and wine. In total, though, it is a slow and meticulous venture — something Scheufele is used to in the world of watchmaking.

Winery owner Karl-Friedrich Scheufele and his team care for approximately 30 hectares of vines (17 of which produce red grapes), yielding approximately 70,000 bottles of wine annually.

“I have learned that, like watchmaking, winemaking requires a lot of patience and attention to every detail,” he says. “Luckily, I have a lot of practice in that and have a firm relationship with time.”

Converting Château Monestier La Tour to organic certification has been, for the Scheufeles, all about preserving the nature and balance of the region. In the long term, their implementation of biodynamic agricultural processes should yield qualitative improvements in the terroir. This produces the medley of depth, freshness, and fruity flavors in the resulting wines. The couple enlisted the help of consultant oenologist Stephane Derenoncourt to implement the organic processes and produce Bergerac, Côtes de Bergerac, and Saussignac wines.

Essentially, biodynamic agriculture eschews pesticides, biocides, fungicides, and other artificial fertilizers. It is all about natural preparation and composting for the soil to instill flavor. As such, Château Monestier La Tour has a rich and vivacious herb garden and herbatorium right on the premises. Because some of the desired plant species are not naturally present on the grounds, a garden ensures a continued supply of important herbs and flowers like chamomile, nettles, and thyme. Once mature, the plants are dried and stored, so they can be used as sprays to strengthen the vines. The herbs are all carefully selected for their abilities to fight disease or pests, or to enrich a flavor profile. In spring and fall, they are used to stimulate or slow growing. During spring months, the vines are stimulated with certain plants that “warm” them; in fall, they transition to a dormant state with the help of cypress or ivy.

Château Monestier La Tour officially opened its doors to visitors this past summer. A stroll through the winery, its vineyards, and the surrounding grounds presents a great lesson in nature, passion, and dedication. Touring the facilities offers a fantastic understanding of how these natural wines get their wonderful notes of lavender, berries, and more, all while preserving nature. It also offers grand insight into the patience and perseverance required to create organic wines.

Château Monestier La Tour

A brilliant grey-green colour with golden highlights. A very fine nose, with a lovely range of peach notes from very ripe grapes. Grapefruit and saline notes add a lingering freshness to the palate. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and smooth, with pear flesh and almonds from the Semillon. A lovely freshness with citrus fruit, the tension of the Sauvignon prolongs the tasting. A floral touch from the Muscadelle rounds off the aromatic pleasure.

Moscow Metro

The Moscow Metro Tour is included in most guided tours’ itineraries. Opened in 1935, under Stalin’s regime, the metro was not only meant to solve transport problems, but also was hailed as “a people’s palace”. Every station you will see during your Moscow metro tour looks like a palace room. There are bright paintings, mosaics, stained glass, bronze statues… Our Moscow metro tour includes the most impressive stations best architects and designers worked at - Ploshchad Revolutsii, Mayakovskaya, Komsomolskaya, Kievskaya, Novoslobodskaya and some others.

What is the kremlin in russia?

The guide will not only help you navigate the metro, but will also provide you with fascinating background tales for the images you see and a history of each station.

And there some stories to be told during the Moscow metro tour! The deepest station - Park Pobedy - is 84 metres under the ground with the world longest escalator of 140 meters. Parts of the so-called Metro-2, a secret strategic system of underground tunnels, was used for its construction.

During the Second World War the metro itself became a strategic asset: it was turned into the city's biggest bomb-shelter and one of the stations even became a library. 217 children were born here in 1941-1942! The metro is the most effective means of transport in the capital.

There are almost 200 stations 196 at the moment and trains run every 90 seconds! The guide of your Moscow metro tour can explain to you how to buy tickets and find your way if you plan to get around by yourself.

Ticket prices for the Trans-Siberian Railway also depend on the current ruble exchange rate.

Is the Trans-Siberian Railway expensive?

Before starting on your Trans-Siberian Railway adventure you naturally want to know what the entire trip will cost. Although this sounds like a simple question, it is pretty difficult to answer. The Trans-Siberian Railway price of travel depends on the following factors:

• Which travel class do I want to use? The price for a first class ticket is about three times the price of a 3rd class ticket
• Am I willing to buy the tickets myself and assume responsibility for the organisation of the trip?
• How many stopovers do I want to make? The more breaks, the higher the total price.
• What sort of accommodation do I want? Will it be a luxury hotel or will a hostel dormitory be sufficient?
• What tours and excursions would I like to go on?
• What is the current exchange rate for rubles?

Basically, everything from a luxury to a budget holiday is available. If you buy yourself a 3rd Class nonstop ticket at the counter, a few hundred Euros will cover the price. All you will experience is a week on the Trans-Siberian train and will see nothing of the cities on the way. There is, however, any amount of room for upward expansion. Everyone makes different choices about which aspects they are willing to spend money on. I personally prefer to save money on accommodation and railcar class, visit as many cities and do as many trips as possible. To enable better classification of your travel expenses I have contrasted two typical traveler types. In the third column you can calculate the total cost of your own journey on the Trans-Siberian Railway. Please keep in mind that these are only rough estimations and not exact prices.

The all-in costs seem fairly high at first. However, they cover everything and it is quite a long journey taking four weeks. Many people forget to consider that when looking at the list. We should also deduct the running costs for food and leisure at home. I think most visitors to this page will classify themselves somewhere between the two categories, that is around the € 2,000 – € 2,500 range. When comparing these prices with other travel packages, you get the impression that it is hardly worthwhile travelling individually on the Trans-Siberian Railway. Please keep in mind that most packages last no more than 14 days and you are herded like cattle through the most beautiful locations.

If you spend less time on the Trans-Siberian Railway you will, of course, pay less. I chose this particular travel length because I prefer not to do things by halves. If you fulfill your dream of travelling on the Trans-Siberian Railway, enjoy it and don’t rush things. But it’s up to you, of course. Try playing around with the form a bit to find the appropriate price for your trip.
