The wine region of Haspengouwse Wijn
Flemish AOC of Hesbaye (south-east Flanders, Belgium), sandy-limestone soils (Belgium's "Côte d'Or"), cool temperate climate — ~45% of Flemish sparkling production. Chardonnay is the signature white: dry and taut with green apple, citrus, white flowers, butter and a chalky mineral note, lively acidity — a northern Burgundian style. Spiced Pinot Gris and full Pinot Blanc among the whites. Fine Pinot Noir as red.
The wine region of Flandre
Northern Belgian vineyard (~60% of national production), sandy and clay-limestone soils, temperate maritime climate comparable to Champagne 30 years ago. Signature Chardonnay as white king: taut and precise with notes of citrus, green apple, white flowers, brioche and chalky touch — base for fresh and precise sparklers. Aerial Pinot Noir (cherry, raspberry), round Pinot Meunier, vibrant Riesling. PIWI (Solaris, Johanniter) as complements.
The word of the wine: Wooded
A set of aromas brought about by ageing in barrels (usually oak). This can be pleasant when, in small doses, it brings a touch of spice, roast or vanilla to an already constructed ensemble. When the violent woodiness dominates the wine, it is quickly tiring. Easily identifiable aromatically, it is sought after (to the point of abuse) by the makers of coarse wines. New World manufacturers and, alas, some French winemakers use oak chips to impart the woody taste, which is tantamount to artificial flavoring.
