Medium dark ruby color. Nose of branches, earth, ground cherries, berries and smoke. Fresh on the palate with flavors of red berries, a whole bunch of spices, it’s balanced, long lasting with just a touch of heat on the finish, but it doesn’t stop the wine to show its amplitude. Good+ (88)

Made of  Pinot Noir. Aged 11 months in oak barrels. Alcohol level of 14%

Available in SAQ stores for 16,50$ (Code SAQ : 00874891)

Château Vallon des Brumes Bordeaux 2011 

Dark cherry color. Nose of small black berries, spices ans smoke. Smooth on the palate with a touch of Bordeaux classic structure and flavors on par with those from the nose. Good acidity, not as powerful as Bordeaux usually are, probably due to the 2011 vintage. Drinks well from now, would pair well with beef dishes! Good+ (88)
