Just like an old friend you are meeting again, the green touch associated to lesser ripe Bordeaux is somehow comforting. Medium body with fresh acid and notes of green bell pepper, bright plum, coco and vanilla. Chewy tannins a touch rustic with a rather abrupt finish. Simple but shows typicity at a price that is hard to argue with.
Simple but well made with supple tannins and generous notes of raspberries and wild strawberries with well-integrated alcohol and balanced despite the soft acid. A good contender for an everyday wine. Serve slightly chilled.
Deep purple-black in colour; cedary, spicy, licorice and blackberry nose; medium- to full-bodied, ripe black fruit flavours with fresh acidity and ripe tannins. A well-structured wine.
Firm and structured with red fruit, stone fruit and herbal flavours, fresh with bright acidity and lightly tannic on the finish. Begs for food and likely has the versatility and structure to accompany a broad range of meat dishes.
An unusual blend of Grenache, Vermentino and Viognier. Very pale straw in colour; lightly floral, white pepper, minerally, peach pit nose; white peach flavour, full on the palate.
Deep salmon pink colour; light minerally nose of wild strawberries. Medium- to full-bodied, dry, strawberry puree flavour with just a touch of sweetness in mid-palate and a thread of minerality. Great length with a warm alcoholic finish.
Right at the first smell and sip, you taste a place rather than a grape. Good concentration of flavours with tangy acid and bright aromas of lime and lemon with haunting mushroom notes. Vibrant with great tension and energy. If you have any doubts about the virtue of Aligoté, this wine will change your mind. Delicious with salmon gravlax.
