Jean-Paul et Benoit Droin Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons 2010 Is it a Great wine or a wine that was drinked at the perfect moment? I opened this bottle in a well planned moment; at the beach to pair the salty breeze of the ocean with the classic seashell feel of a Chablis! Medium gold color. […]
Weingut Stadt Krems Grüner Veltliner Kremstal Austria 2015 Pale straw color. Nose with lemon, saltiness, slighty green, also have rocky notes and lots of freshness! The acidity on the palate brings a biting twist to the wine, the the flavors of lime, green apples, it’s bright yet approachable and the salty and green side are still there, but I like […]
Anne et Jean-François Ganevat J’en Veux Encore 2014 The color is between ruby and light garnet. Expressive nose of small berries, earth, sweet spices and that natural wine but balanced twist. Had some fizz at bottle opening, but disappeared quickly to offer pure goodness and litterally quench our thirst as it drinks so well. It had fruit, […]
Norman Hardie Pinot Noir Niagara Peninsula 2010 Medium dark garnet color. Nose of cherries, cooked berries, spices and oak. On the palate the wine is tender but not sweet with its candied cherries, small red fruit jam, spices, earth and oak notes. More modern than what I’m used to from that producer, but that vintage was so […]
Domaine St-Jacques Pinot gris 2015 Light gold color. Nose of lemon, peach, it’s fresh with an enjoyable green side. Balanced between a round mouth feel and the acidity with flavors of fresh pineapple, lemon, lime, peach and a touch of minerality. No heavyness in this wine, it’s dry which is not the standard with cool climate wines […]
Velenosi Il Brecciarolo Rosso Piceno DOC Superiore 2013 Medium dark purple color. Nose of black berries, a good load of spices, black earth and a hint of cedar wood. Even if the spices notes are quite bold on the palate, the berry flavors paired with the wine structure and silky tannins are not stopping the […]
Malivoire Gamay Niagara Peninsula 2014 Medium ruby color. Shy nose of fruit, flowers and spices notes. On the though, the wine offers juicy crushed red fruits, sweet spices, aromatic herbs, wet earth and good acidity. Fresh and floral, different from what is made in Beaujolais, but still pretty tasty. Ends in a long and slightly warm finish. Very good […]
Doudet Naudin Pinot Noir 2014 From a recent SAQ Cellier release, I was curious to have this pinot noir produced by Doudet Naudin and sold at a more than fair price, especially for a wine of that grape variety made in France… Classic pinot light ruby color. Aromas and flavors are about the same with red […]
Cheval Quancard Cuvée Clémence Entre-Deux-Mers 2014 Lightly colored with green hue. Very typical of what sauvignon blanc can give with lemon, rocks, grass and some saltyness. Round on the palate with tropical fruit, yellon melon and candied lemon. Medium acidity level, the wine still have some freshness to it that supports the wine flaor concentration. Ends on a light […]
Boschendal The Pavillion Chenin Blanc 2015 Lightly colored. This wine from South African Western Cape region offers a nose of lemon, green apples, herbs, sea breeze and some flower notes. Fresh on the palate with a good acidity, then the crisp apples flavor kicks in with lemon and salty water making this wine enjoyable and interresting, especially at […]
