Domaine du Nival Matière à Discussion 2016

Light gold color, but shiny and youthful. Nose of candied lemon, salty and light oak notes with just a touch of caramel, all in a subtle and elegant way. Bright tension on the palate due to its good acidity level without being razor sharp, this wine last a good moment in a round finish where the well integrated oak plays the support role. The flavors are the same as seen on the nose. This wine feels young, but it’s so tasty now. What is even more great is the fact that this wine is produced only 45 minutes away from my place, and it’s just amazing. Great future for that Estate! Excellent (91)

Made of Vidal grapes. Aged 9 months on its lees in old neutral oak barrels. Alcohol level of 10,6%

Was sold at the winery, in private import and in few selected location, but it’s all gone. Was 23,00$

Dark and light purple color. Nose of wild berries Concrad grapes, flowers and earth. This nose is deep, fresh and inviting. Same on the palate with great flavors, this sour-bitter duo that I like so much, because it’s what makes this type of wine so easy drinking, without being thin or dull. In fact, it’s the complete opposite, you want more of that fruit explosion wine. Long finish, longer than what it takes to empy your glasse. Then you need more… Very good+ (90)

Made of 60% Frontenac Gris (stainless tank fermented, then ended its fermentation into bottle) and 40% of Petite Perle (whole bunch fermentation in oak barrels). Blended a month prior to bottling. Organic farming, natural winemaking. Total production of 520 bouteilles. Alcohol level of 12%. Label art by Marc Séguin.

Was sold by allocation. Can be found in some restaurants.

Lightly colored. Shy nose where some salty, lemon and hay notes did showed up in a very fresh way. More expressive on the palate with lemon zest flavors paired with a round and almost fat mouthfeel, then the acidity came on the finish on salty and mineral notes. Great wine from Québec! Very good (89)
