Quinta do Vale Da Perdiz Cistus Douro 2014 Purple colored. Nose of dark berries, spices, smoke and mint. Velvety on the palate with flavors of black berries, spices and earth, avoids any heavyness but still shows some backbone. Pecfect week day wine! Good+ (88) Made of Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz and Tinta Barroc. Mostly aged in […]
Château de Brézé Clos Mazurique Saumur 2015 Dark purple color but not completly opaque. Nose of berries, grilled bell pepper, earth, really fresh and blooming from the glass. Fruit loaded flavors, then some spices and that typical Cab Franc greens that I truly appreciate when done right as it is the case now. Perfect wine […]
Anne & Jean-François Ganevat De Toute Beauté 2014 See trough light and foggy ruby color. On the nose there’s no doubt that this is a natural wine! Typical aromas completed by cherries, earth and spices notes. Medium open for now with its natural side leading. Fruit loaded on the palate, but still restrained as it feels like it’s […]
Anne et Jean-François Ganevat Madelon 2014 Rubis brillant et pétant de jeunesse. Arômes de petits fruits rouges, c’est ensoleillé, invitant avec un côté nature en arrière-plan, mais présent. Il y a un peu de bulles au départ en bouche, mais ça ne dure pas. Puis c’est la pureté et la simplicité du Gamay dans sa plus […]
Visit at Hidden Bench Back from a “day job” assignment in Niagara region and having some free time ahead. Why not stop and visit a winery since I couldn’t be in a better place for that, especially at that moment, a beautiful and sunny day! With the goal of trying a new place, I reached […]
Sirius Bordeaux 2012 Dark cherry color. Nose of smoke, black berries, some leather, all in the classic Bordeaux perfume spirit. Good showing on the palat with a spicy and biting finish, but drinks pretty well being not too heavy nor too light with just enough strenght to pair well with many types of dishes. This one […]
Vina Mongras Ninquen Colchagua Valley 2013 Dark color with purple hue. Nose of spices, earth, oak, bitter chocolate and black berries. Tasty and silky on the palate even if it shows its structure, this wine gives a lot of quality and depth. The flavors are similar to those from the nose, it is approachable from now even […]
Château Bélair Saint-Émilion 1er Grand Cru Classé 2004 Dark garnet color. Nose of light smoke, fruit, tobacco, some oak, but everything with this classy and noble Bordeaux feel. Quite open on the palate, this was so good! Beautiful flavors and silky mouth feel wrapping the remaining structure that will allow this wine to age many more years […]
Anne et Jean-François Ganevat Le Jaja du Ben Vin de France 2014 Foggy ruby color with purple hue. Nose of berries, earth and spices with that little “funky” natural wine typical twist. As it is often the case, it’s on the palate that I like natural wine the most on the palate, and that’s exactly […]
PEC vineyard visit – Hinterland For our camping trip we did only plan two vineyard visits, because a a family trip can’t only be done to satisfy one’s passion. But a bottle of Whitecap, a Charmat (bubbly wine made the same way as Italian Prossecco) from the recent 2015 vintage coming directly from the vineyard […]
