CHINESE BAIJIU 白酒
The history of China is also the history of Baijiu. Through the last
few thousand years in China, Baijiu has been a constant presence,
representing the finer aspects of life. In earlier times, Baijiu was part
of the realm of royalty and scholars, brought out to toast family
events, to celebrate victory and to accompany spirited conversation.
Now, Baijiu is enjoyed by everyone, and has become an integral of
Chinese culture. For Chinese everywhere, Baijiu is a symbol of
friendship, mutual respect and celebration.
CHINESE HUANGJIU 黄酒
Don’t be fooled by its name. Yellow Wine is not really yellow.
Huangjiu (literally “yellow wine” or “yellow liquor”) is a type of
Chinese alcoholic beverage brewed directly from grains such
as rice, millet, or wheat and is often used as a kind of Chinese
traditional medicine. Unlike baijiu, such liquors are not
distilled, and contain less than 20% alcohol, due to the
inhibition of fermentation by ethanol at that concentration.
These wines are traditionally pasteurized, aged,
and filtered before their final bottling.
Mou Tai 茅台
Moutai Bai Jiu is proudly renowned as the national drink of China. Brewed
in the same region for over two millennia, Moutai Bai Jiu contains only
the natural growing sorghum of the local valleys and water from the
Chishui River. Brewing the liquor is never rushed therefore, quality is never
compromised. The unique climate of this region along with the stringent
production has created liquor with an exotic flavor, rich with a magical
aroma that has been enjoyed for centuries.

Shui Jing Fang 水井坊 52%
Shui Jing Fang 水井坊 38%
The name “Nu Er Hong” literally means “Daughter’s Wine”. Wine is
brewed in celebration of the baby girl’s birth, stored underground
until the girl gets married 16-18yrs later. This drink is celebrated for its
exquisite and mellow flavours.
Brewed from the award winning, oldest distillery in China, this baijin
exudes a distinctive sour plum nose with a lingering and rounded fruity
aroma. The initial taste is sharp and warming, followed by a complex
bitter sweetness and ending with a lasting pure and minty after-taste.
Pagoda 30 yrs 三十年塔牌邵兴
On the interior surface of the bottom of the bottle are six intricate
paintings of scenic spots in Chengdu: the Wu Hou Shrine, Du Fu
Thatched Cottage, Jiuyan Bridge, Hejiang Pavilion, Wangjiang Tower
and the Shui Jing Distillery. The paintings are viewed through the liquid
itself evoking the 600 years of cultural heritage that have created this
exquisite spirit.

“My only regret in life is that I didn’t drink enough Champagne”
— John Maynard Keynes
(this is why we believe one should live life without regrets.)
Salon S’ 1997
The House of Salon only produces one champagne; the rare vintage tête

Salon vintages have been declared no more than four times a decade.
This is the 36th vintage. —Jancis Robinson, 18/20

…pretty wine graced with warm, toasty notes, butter, apricots and

A special blend made for Czar Alexander II and his family over a
century ago and the de facto bubbly of the Hollywood Celebrity

….fruity and vinous at first but then the minerality kicks in, giving the

that can be enjoyed as an aperitif or alongside a meal.

Puligny Montrachet 2011
Beaune, France
100% Chardonnay
A wine of great finesse, distinguished and elegant. The colour is pure
and bright, with light glints of white gold. The aromas evoke trees in
bloom and white flesh fruit, like white peaches. With age, the aromas
evolve towards almond and lightly grilled dried fruit. On the
palate, there is a sensation of fresh silkiness. Long and persistent
in the aftertaste, ending on an exceptional wealth of flavors,
both floral and fruity. —Véronique Boss-Drouhin

distilleries made available for our guests.
We love it most as our post-dinner or wind-me-down drink.

Result of four generations of Cellar Masters, LOUIS XIII is a unique blend of 1,200
eaux-de-vie from 40 to 100 year old. A closely guarded secret since 1874. The
eaux-de-vie composing LOUIS XIII came from the prestigious Grande Champagne
growth, a collection of the rarest, century-old casks made from Limousin oak.

Everytime we savour a sip of our rum on the rocks,
we thank Christopher Columbus for introducing

Sauza Tres Generaciones Reposado
Surrounded by the largest classed forest in Europe, extremely pure and naturally thermal, the superior
natural mineral water from Bordeaux discovered in 1923 benefits from low mineralization and zero nitrates for daily health benefits and constant pleasure.
This “Grand Cru” comes from the oldest mountains to the deepest water source in France, drawn at 472
meters into the ground. Here are the secrets of its benefits: protected from any pollution, slowly filtered
through several layers of sandstone, limestone and clay aquifers, the water is brought naturally straight
to the bottling facility, conserving its purity.

FRESH JUICE 果汁

SOFT DRINKS 汽水
A mellow concoction of 水井方白酒
Shui Jing Fang Baijiu, coffee liqueur, and
baileys with peppermint. Winter is the
definitive after dinner refreshment that
is warm, fuzzy and creamy.
Spring 春
A
smooth
bittersweet
original
concoction consisting of Chinese
Huangjiu and lychee liqueur topped
off with lemonade. Just like the

Definitely a drink to bring on the smiles.
