To find one of the most promising terroirs within China’s rapidly evolving fine-wine industry, you’ll need to journey to the rugged high-altitude hillsides in the Tibetan borderlands of northwestern Yunnan. There, high in the Upper Mekong, XiaoLing has emerged as one of the country’s most distinctive wineries, producing small quantities of premium wines in one of the world’s most dramatic vineyard landscapes.

Translated from Mandarin as ‘cloudy peak of the mountains’, the estate was established in 2014 in a remote spot 2,000 metres up in Himalayan foothills where summers are hot, winters are cold, and the soil is poor and rocky, but rich in limestone.

While tracing its inspiration to vineyards originally planted by French Catholic missionaries in the 19th century, today, XiaoLing works closely with local Tibetan growers and focuses on low yields, hand harvesting, and maturation in French oak barrels.

Having produced its first vintage in 2014, the estate soon became known for its pure, lively Cabernet-based blends, which continue to garner the most headlines. More recently, however, it has also gained attention for its vibrant Chardonnay, with James Suckling naming the 2021 Xiao Ling Hong Po Chardonnay his Chinese Wine of the Year on account of its depth and minerality.

We are thrilled to welcome Bertrand Cristau, owner and CEO of Xiaoling since 2017, to guide us through a range of its wines. Though he has family links to Burgundy’s Bouchard family (indeed, he still holds some 1er cru vineyard in Mercurey), Cristau graduated in France as an engineer, in 1981, before moving to China and marrying in Beijing. He has lived in the country ever since, and will provide a first-hand perspective on its fascinating wine scene.

The wines we will be tasting:

2023 XiaoLing, White, Yunnan, China
2021 XiaoLing, Sentiers de XiaoLing, Yunnan, China
2020 XiaoLing, Grand Vin, Yunnan, China
2018 XiaoLing, Ri Ni Tong, Yunnan, China
2018 XiaoLing, Ri Zui, Yunnan, China
2018 XiaoLing, Jiu Nong Ding, Yunnan, China

Fragrance, much like wine, is a deeply personal expression of taste, memory and emotion. On Sunday 26th July, join Maison 21G Paris for an immersive perfume creation workshop, where you’ll discover the art of scent composition and leave with a fragrance that is entirely your own.

The afternoon begins with an introduction to Maison 21G’s approach to bespoke perfumery, followed by a scent personality quiz designed to uncover your unique olfactory profile. Guided by fragrance experts, you’ll then explore an extensive fragrance wardrobe, discovering the individual notes, accords and ingredients that resonate most with you.

Once you’ve selected your two signature scents, you’ll blend and compose them into a personalised perfume, creating a fragrance that reflects your character and preferences. Members will leave with a personalised 30ml bottle of their bespoke fragrance, complete with their name on the bottle.

Throughout the experience, sip on NV Gosset, Grand Rosé, Brut. With its vibrant red berry fruit, delicate floral notes and refreshing finish, it provides the perfect accompaniment to an afternoon dedicated to the senses.

Inspired by the Chinese philosophy of Yin and Yang (阴阳), our next blind-tasting event is all about contrasts. 

This Champagne-themed masterclass is based on the idea that seemingly opposite forces are not in conflict, but instead complement one another to create balance and harmony. 

In keeping with the traditional Yin and Yang symbol of interweaving black and white, we will explore the intricacies of Blanc de Blancs and Blanc de Noirs Champagnes. And what better hosts to explore this theme than Ying Hsien Tan MW and Yeo Xi Yang – our very own Ying and Yang of Champagne? 

Ying Hsien Tan MW was the first Singaporean to become a Master of Wine, earning the title in 2015. Today, he is a wine educator, writer and judge, and runs Taberna Wine Academy. Yeo Xi Yang, meanwhile, is the sommelier-owner of Convivial, Singapore’s first dedicated Champagne bar. Singapore’s National Sommelier Champion in 2022, he is also the force behind Champagniac, Singapore’s biggest Champagne-dedicated festival. 

The event will be presented in a semi-blind format, with Members exploring a line-up of exceptional Champagnes from renowned houses and growers, among them Delamotte, Louis Roederer, Pierre Péters, Gounel-Lassalle, Rémi Leroy, Philipponnat, and Bollinger. The wines will be either distinctive Blanc de Blancs or expressive Blanc de Noirs, with Members encouraged to put their palates to the test while exploring how different styles and philosophies shape the character of each wine. 

Ying and Yang will guide members through each wine, encouraging discussion and deduction. Discover the balance between elegance and power, freshness and richness, precision and complexity, all while trying to tell the Blancs from the Noirs in an interactive tasting designed to uncover the contrasting and complementary faces of the world’s most famous sparkling wine.

Over the last decade or so, Tasmania has established itself among Australia’s most dynamic wine regions, its cool, maritime climate lending itself in particular to elegant Chardonnay and refined Pinot Noir.  

Such territory, of course, goes hand in hand with traditional method sparkling wines – and so it has proved. Undoubtedly now Australia’s premier region for fizz, Tasmania’s long growing season provides ideal conditions for sparkling wines of vibrant acidity, exceptional finesse and notable ageing potential. 

Join us, then, as we go on a journey through the diversity of Tasmanian fizz, from vibrant non-vintage bottlings and elegant rosés to older vintage wines and the rare complexity of a late-disgorged prestige cuvée. Along the way, we’ll discover how different terroirs, grape varieties, blends and winemaking philosophies contribute to each wine’s individual character. 

Our host for the evening will be Ben Hasko MS, MW. Born in the UK, raised in Australia and now based in Singapore, Ben is a wine educator and consultant, and one of the very few people in the world to boast both the Master Sommelier and Master of Wine qualifications. He will be joined by Ed Carr, Chief Winemaker of sparkling specialist House of Arras, and Fran Austin, Owner and Winemaker of the acclaimed Delamere Vineyards.  

Whether you’re a lover of all things sparkling or a fan of Australian wine looking to explore the country’s cool-climate scene, this tasting offers a window into the artistry, craftsmanship and evolution of one of the world’s most exciting regions for sparkling wine.

It’s time for another Saturday #67SommSocial, this time led by Junior Assistant Head Sommelier Sanjaya Kumar. And this time, we’re heading to Spain…

Join Sanjaya to explore the two most celebrated Spanish wine regions –  Rioja and Ribera del Duero. Although both revolve around Tempranillo, Rioja and Ribera express the variety through remarkably different personalities, shaped by their individual terroir, philosophy, and winemaking approach. And while Rioja has always been the more traditional of the pair, and Ribera the new kind on the block, in recent years a more free-thinking approach has taken hold in Rioja, making generalisations less straightforward.

This is not a structured, classroom-style masterclass, but rather a relaxed tasting in a casual, living room style set-up which will see Sanjaya lead the session and introduce each wine while mingling with Members throughout.

Come and join him to discover how the same grape variety can produce wines ranging from elegant and savoury to bold and powerful, while tasting benchmark examples from each region. 

The wines we’ll be tasting:
Welcome Drink: NV Billecart Salmon, Reserve Brut
2011 Bodegas Roda, Roda I, Rioja Reserva
2017 Remelluri, Rioja Reserva
2016 Tempos Vega Sicilia, Alión, Ribera del Duero
2018 Ausás, Interpretaciòn, Ribera del Duero
