 THE PROFESSIONAL KEY
A range technique that is open to any wine lover looking for efficiency first. The pellet of alloy is crimped to a stainless steel holder food, topped with a pewter emblem. The modern, sleek, will appeal to both the professional (sommelier, winemaker) that the connoisseur who will appreciate the rounded, sensual, for a natural grip, pleasant and efficient. Presented in a box padded, lined with matching stitching, each Professional model comes with a cleaning cloth scratched "Clef du Vin" and a comprehensive instruction manual in five languages.
Professional Pocket (Key Paperback)
Technical and practical object par excellence, the model pocket will secure your purchase of wine in your cellar as usual. The restaurant or with friends, surprise guests and animate the meal. The "Clef du Vin" Pocket will soon become the companion of every day of active amateur.
The unique and playful, "Clef du Vin" is a measuring instrument that will immediately tell the ability to keep the aging potential of your wine.
It will gradually modify the organoleptic (taste and smell, "the flavors and bouquet") wine. But in a controlled manner.
Indeed, the Clef du Vin is calibrated so that a second contact in a 10cl glass (or bottle of 75 cl, with the specific model) shows the aging potential of a year.
Effective on all types of wine (red, pink, white, dry, soft, sweet and sparkling), the Clef du Vin is actually a unit of measure, a revelation.
The advantages are many:
1. Do not buy wine that will age well, or wine which is known to be drunk within a year.
Ex: In the cellar, or in a wine fair, you taste and soak a few seconds. If the wine remains pleasant or improves, you can buy with confidence to keep it. If the wine "switch" quickly (taste flat, unstructured, unpleasant metallic maderized ...), it should be drunk within the year ...
2. How long to keep your wine. Re-evaluate your cellar.
When you buy a box (or on a box in your basement), take the test.
If you prefer after 4 seconds, keep it four years (or drink it after 4 seconds of Clef du Vin ...).
There are no absolutes. You drink the wine as you like when you like it.
Now you can "test" regular bottles in your cellar now, to find out which consumed quickly, and those that still require years to mature.
3. Drink a young wine today.
Now enjoy a wine for which he would have had to wait five or 10 years.
The Key wine accelerates the development of aromatic scents of wine and relaxed structure. We then say that the wine "opens".
Red wines will see their tannins soften and round voice.
The acidity of dry white wines will be mitigated and the "fruit" showed.
The sweet white wines, expect an explosion of flavors on the palate.
- Secure your purchase wine
- Know the best time to eat.
- Enjoy a good young wine, or too young, at fair value, immediately.
This is a tool for buying, cellar management and tasting.
Attention! : It does not age the wine!! (See the scientific explanation)
Attention! : A bad wine does not become a good wine. It's not magic! A wine of poor quality, or without aging potential, will be quickly altered (killed) by the Clef du Vin (typically 2 seconds of contact is sufficient).
In summary, the Clef du Vin ™ is used to find the optimal time to enjoy a wine.
It detects the wines with great potential, not necessarily the most expensive.
She spreads the wine without the ability to guard.
The benefits for business are many:
The Clef du Vin wine expert information on the redox state of its wine.
A better understanding of this mysterious condition is a valuable aid in decisions to be taken in the development and aging of wine.
A sales support representatives in important wine.
Optimize the selection and purchase of its wines.
WHAT IS THE KEY OF WINE?
SOPHISTICADED TECHNOLOGY
The Clef du Vin is an alloy of many metals assembled and worked in a special way.
She was born of a scientific approach applied to the observation of the tradition and practices current in the field of wine.
The Clef du Vin was invented more than 10 years Laurenzo Zanon, chemist and oenologist, professor of chemistry and biology, in collaboration with a sommelier, Franck Thomas, Meilleur Ouvrier de France, Best Sommelier of France and Europe (2000), candidate of France in the World Championship in Greece 2004.
Laurent needed a tool for decision support in the development of the wine to know when "act" in winemaking. Today, he uses the Key as follows:
When the wine in the vat, is "reduction" (closed smells of sulfur, mercaptan, or rotten egg), he uses a 10 cl glass and dip the Clef du Vin for 2 seconds. If the reduction continues, it is strongly advised to act (extract ...).
We made a simple tool to use, made accessible to individuals
Throughout his life, wine is a phase of reduction (fermentation process in vats or casks) to a phase of oxidation (wine, the wine is too old). Between these two extreme phases, it evolves along its redox curve, passing through periods of equilibrium where the wine is assessed at its maximum (depending on the tastes, of course).
What happens next during aging in bottle in good condition? The wine will, sooner or later, move to oxidation. Moreover, this phenomenon is greatly amplified at the opening of the bottle. This will considerably change its capacity for good or evil, depending on their age and maturity level.
Contact with the Clef du Vin allows you to accelerate its development in order to quantify the potential for aging wine, knowing that a second contact is equivalent to one year of aging potential (redox).
The Clef du Vin has of course invented the redox! This phenomenon has long been known. However, we have mastered how to measure, calibrated. We made a duplicable action, in a controlled, regulated.
In order to demonstrate the aging potential of wine, the Clef du Vin changes, among others, gradually redox balance of it, until its destruction (taste). Every second of contact in a 10cl glass (or a 75cl bottle, with the model "Bottle"), projects the wine a year along its redox curve (of life ...). Revealing its potential for aging, aging. To give you pleasure (or displeasure) you have to drink this wine in 1.2, .. 5 .. 10 .. years.
A second for one year, two seconds for two years ... The effect of the Clef du Vin is irreversible. The dips (contact with the wine) are cumulative (one second = one second soaking for two seconds).
The Clef du Vin is a catalyst that activates and accelerates a natural phenomenon: oxidation.
But beware! The Clef du Vin is not "age" wine.
There are a lot of other phenomena in the natural aging of the wine, the Clef du Vin is not intended to duplicate. (There are over 100 known components in wine ...).
The Clef du Vin also acts on aromatic compounds: esters, ketones, aldehydes, and the tannins. Aromatic compounds are "protected", "inhibited" by sulfur compounds (sulfur atoms "S"), very sensitive to oxidation. The hydrogen sulfide, the sulfur compounds, volatile thiols, in excess, are indeed inhibitors of flavors.
The Clef du Vin is acting more on the aliphatic chains, changing the single bonds of carbon, sulfur and hydrogen.
Three years of research were required to abut the alloy "Clef du Vin." Then seven years were needed to validate the proper calibration of a second for one year. The inventors have bought a lot of bottles at the start. Then they met every year with professional sommeliers to conduct blind tasting (duets, duo-trio, ...). The aim was to compare each year's actual results and forecasts of the Clef du Vin. The Key has been just over 95%!
Patents have been filed since 2000.
The Clef du Vin does not wear out. Everything happens at the molecular level. There is no migration of metals in wine. Simply, the Key "reorganizing" certain molecules of the wine.
What was there in the alloy? This is the subject of 4 international patents.
CURVE OF LIFE OF WINE
Point 0 indicates bottling, the birth of the wine.
The shaded area represents the disease that all bottled wines undergo a period shorter or longer (from 1 to 4 months). It's a natural evolution of the wine. He suffered a downturn and needs time to blossom in the bottle.
Zone 1: Phase of youth, the wine opens and begins offering fun.
Zone 2: The wine evolves in the way, for some, a closing stage.
Red wines become discreet pleasure in the mouth is reduced by a tannic structure and firm.
White wines, they become also more discreet and less pleasant.
For some, this phase does not exist, they reach their peak directly. This is the case for the new Beaujolais, for example.
Zone 3: is the height and optimum pleasure.
Zone 4: is the decline.
The Clef du Vin allows you to experience the life of your wine in seconds
Instructions
The Clef du Vin ™ is used by successive dips into a glass of wine. In a glass 10cl *, a second contact modifies the organoleptic (taste and aroma), indicating the potential for one year storage in the cellar. Use a drink, enjoy and remember your feelings. Dip the pad of the Clef du Vin in the glass for a second and taste again. Repeat until reduced taste of wine.
Model for "Bottle", use a 75cl bottle.
Which wine to buy? How to select a wine:
If after several contacts (or contact one of several seconds), the wine retains its qualities or improving, you can buy with confidence, it will age well, in a good cellar. If the wine loses its qualities after one or two seconds of contact, this should be drunk within a year! The Clef du Vin allows you then to secure your purchase wine.
When the drink? How long to keep my wine cellar? :
If you prefer wine after 3 seconds of contact, you will leave the bottles after 3 years of aging in the cellar, and can then enjoy them at their optimum (to your personal taste, of course).
There is no absolute, everyone drinks the wine as he likes, neither too early nor too late!
How to taste a young wine? :
The Clef du Vin ™ allows you to enjoy a young wine, too young to see, and appreciate the true value, without waiting. The Key wine accelerates the development of aromatic scents of wine and relaxed structure. We then say that the wine "opens". - Red wines will see their tannins soften their roundness and their expression.
- The perception of the acidity of white wines will be softened and the flavors revealed.
- On the sweet white wines, you should expect a revelation of flavors on the palate.
The Clef du Vin is now enjoy a wine for which he would have had to wait years!
