The Beachcomber Sommelier’s Selection is designed exclusively for guests of Beachcomber hotel establishments. The result of an encounter between an exceptional terroir and a vision shared by two talents, Julien Laugier, Head Sommelier of the Group and Matthew Van Heerden, one of the most renowned winegrowers in South Africa, this signature collection is a treasure for the senses: cabernet sauvignon, merlot, chardonnay, pinotage, sauvignon blanc, chenin blanc, rosé…
The great wines of South Africa
Beachcomber Sommelier’s Selection is the culmination of a rich maturation, many weeks exploring the depths of the Western Cape wine region to unearth the most promising varietals. This odyssey has taken Beachcomber sommeliers through the Swartland region, which produces some of South Africa’s finest white wines, to the Elgin Valley, through the famous Stellenbosch, the hillsides of Helderberg and the hilly lands of Hemel En Aarde. The fruit of their shipment of exceptional wines that capture all the essence of South African terroirs.
“It all started with a desire. That of offering our guests a carefully selected range of wines. A selection that invites you to have fun, while respecting our environment and reducing the waste we produce. This is how this great adventure was born,” says Jean-Louis Pismont, Chief Operations Officer of the Beachcomber Group. “We are committed to providing our customers with experiences synonymous with discovery. For this, we collaborated with Matthew Van Heerden, recognized by his peers for the finesse of his wines, to imagine a tasty selection from the South African terroir. »
Environmentally friendly practices are adopted
The Beachcomber Sommelier’s Selection favors an approach in harmony with nature. From the vineyard which is fully committed to a sustainable development approach, to the empty wine bottles which will be collected and reused to act in favor of zero waste, this wine is imbued with the 52 Environmental & Societal Commitments of the Beachcomber Group at every stage.. “The Beachcomber Sommeliers’ Selection is a wine made with the greatest care, paying particular attention to processes that have the least possible impact on the environment”, emphasizes Julien Laugier.
Beachcomber Sommelier’s Selection, bottled by Grays, is already on the wine list of the Group’s hotels. Customer feedback has been excellent for these cuvées, which perfectly accompany the culinary creations of Beachcomber’s chefs.
