One of the first baby Bordeaux from the sensational 2009 vintage released in Canada. It’s from the Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux and has rich aromas of plum, cassis, cherry, violets, vanilla and toast. It punches way above its class on the palate with blackberry/plum flavours, cedar and toasty oak spice. Buy it by the case and age some for 4 or 5 years down the road. Seriously. Serve with roast duck.
Heritages, a Rhône blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre, is only made in the very best vintages. It has a rich and floral nose of cherry, pepper, spice and earth. It’s lovely on the palate with red fruits, black pepper, supple tannins and length on the finish. A nice, robust winter red. Pair with lamb, casseroles, spicy dishes and cheese.
Old-fashioned hearty southern Rhône style loaded with perfumed ripe cherry, raspberry and clove supported by supple tannins and a splash of milk chocolate on the well-integrated finish. Deeply satisfying.
Bright ruby/purple. Fresh yet ripe nose of red berries, raspberry and cherry with a hint of oak. Delicious fruity taste. The soft tannins are polished by the oak, and the finish is velvety. Delicious to drink now with sausage, hamburger or all-dressed pizza.
Ruby colour. Small red and black fruits, kirsch. Quite concentrated and tight but ripe, fruity taste. Good grip from the tannins, not too much oak, overall well balanced. Made each year from selected lots from the co-op members, this is a reliable name at a good price.
Ruby-purple. Fresh nose of ripe red fruits (raspberry), pepper and oak notes. Nice volume in the mouth, refreshing fruity taste, almost tender tannins. Turns a bit firm in the moderately long finish. Drink within a year with charcuterie.
Dark ruby, purplish rim. Spicy nose of cinnamon, ripe red fruits, a hint of anise. Soft attack, supple and generous fruit. Velvety middle palate, long finish. Great to drink now and good for 5 to 7 years in the cellar.
