Les Deux Clochers Saint-Pourçain 2012

When I’m particularly thirsty and just want to have some wine, it happens quite often that I turn myself to a Gamay based wine, not deep nor complex, but fruit forward. On a recent hot summer day, that’s exactly what happened. So I did opened a bottle of this wine I already had a few times and that had pleased me every time. Simple, fruity, fresh, good acidity level, drinks so easily in a style I like a lot. Very good (89)

Not available now at our favorite monopoly, I did enquired to the agency when it will be back on the shelves and it should come again soon. So happy to hear it, and it’s cheap too! Be aware and ready to jump on it when back at the SAQ.

Made of Gamay (75%) and Pinot Noir (25%). Alcohol level of 12,5%

Was available for 14,50$ (Code SAQ : 00895953)

It was a Monday and it was beautiful outside. We were having a simple but good meal of grilled chicken. What to choose to drink with it ? A Gamay based wine of course! Dark ruby color, fruity, floral and spicy aromas. Despite its structure, it is smooth and silky. Very good (89)

Made of Gamay from 60 years old + vines. Aged in old oak vats for 13 months. Alcohol level of 12,5%

Bouvret & Ganevat Les Compères Côtes du Jura 2012

Deep gold color for a wine that young. Aromas where honey, melon and ripe pears goes along with earth, mushrooms and flowers. Bright on the palate with good acidity and flavors of honey, green melon, Bosc pear and a hint of spices. Rich but balanced, I would pair this wine with a melting brie cheese topped with cranberries and nuts or bites of prosciutto wrapped cantaloupe. Very good (89)

Made of Chardonnay. From the negoce activity of Ganevat. Alcohol level of 12%

Available at the SAQ for 29,05$ (SAQ code : 11544003 )
