There is no single parcel wine nor special cuvees. Just the best of what <em><strong>Hermitage<\/strong><\/em> can offer, either in white or red!<\/p>\n<p>They may be hard to find and not the cheapest wines around, but how could one refuse to have them when so kindly offered!<\/p>\n<p>Following a tasting in the offices of their agency, the following wines were poured to help this another busy year to end on the best note possible.<\/p>\n<h3>The wines<\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_5427\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5427\" class=\"Domaine Jean-Louis Chave Hermitage Blanc 2013 wp-image-5427\" title=\"Domaine Jean-Louis Chave Hermitage Blanc 2013\" src=\"https:\/\/dansmonverre.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Domaine-Jean-Louis-Chave-Hermitage-Blanc-2013-300x298.jpg\" alt=\"Domaine Jean-Louis Chave Hermitage Blanc 2013\" width=\"400\" height=\"397\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dansmonverre.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Domaine-Jean-Louis-Chave-Hermitage-Blanc-2013-300x298.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dansmonverre.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Domaine-Jean-Louis-Chave-Hermitage-Blanc-2013-80x80.jpg 80w, https:\/\/dansmonverre.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Domaine-Jean-Louis-Chave-Hermitage-Blanc-2013-36x36.jpg 36w, https:\/\/dansmonverre.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Domaine-Jean-Louis-Chave-Hermitage-Blanc-2013-180x180.jpg 180w, https:\/\/dansmonverre.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Domaine-Jean-Louis-Chave-Hermitage-Blanc-2013-120x120.jpg 120w, https:\/\/dansmonverre.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Domaine-Jean-Louis-Chave-Hermitage-Blanc-2013-450x446.jpg 450w, https:\/\/dansmonverre.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Domaine-Jean-Louis-Chave-Hermitage-Blanc-2013.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-5427\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Domaine Jean-Louis Chave Hermitage Blanc 2013<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>Domaine Jean-Louis Chave Hermitage Blanc 2013<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Medium dense gold color.

Then vines line-up everywhere. A load of images of pretty places comes into our minds when Vittore Alessandria talks about his family vineyard, in the Piemonte region in the Northwest of Italy.<\/p>\n<p>Fratelli Alessandria is a family run vineyard founded in 1870 and now running 14ha of vines, 12 being over Verduno in the North and 2 being over Monforte d\u2019Alba, South of Piemonte. There have the classic area vines of Nebiollo, Barbera and Dolcetto, but also native varieties like Freisa, Pelaerga Piccolo and Favorita.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The vines and the cellar<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>A great focus is put on the vines and no herbicides are used in the vineyards. The same care is applied to the cellar as everything is clean, from barrels to older wooden cask to avoid the bacteria that causes Brett of other faulty taste or aromas. They prefer to be auto-critic and challenging themselves in a way to make the better wine possible for their clients. They are only using their fruits and don\u2019t buy some from surrounding vineyards.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_4627\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4627\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-4627\" src=\"https:\/\/dansmonverre.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Fratelli-Alessandria-Prins\u00ecot-Langhe-Nebbiolo-2014-300x296.jpg\" alt=\"Fratelli Alessandria Prins\u00ecot Langhe Nebbiolo 2014\" width=\"300\" height=\"296\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dansmonverre.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Fratelli-Alessandria-Prins\u00ecot-Langhe-Nebbiolo-2014.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dansmonverre.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Fratelli-Alessandria-Prins\u00ecot-Langhe-Nebbiolo-2014-80x80.jpg 80w, https:\/\/dansmonverre.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Fratelli-Alessandria-Prins\u00ecot-Langhe-Nebbiolo-2014-36x36.jpg 36w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-4627\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fratelli Alessandria Prins\u00ecot Langhe Nebbiolo 2014<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Of course the Nebbiolo is their main grape grown in their vineyards, even if this requires more work in order to meet the requirements to be classified in the right appellation, from Barolo to Langhe Nebbiolo etc. \u00a0For example, this grave variety likes South facing exposure, be planted on elevated slopes and in proper climatic conditions to give the best fruit possible.<\/p>\n<p>The Northern part of that region is associated to a micro-climate influenced by the Turin River running at the bottom of the surrounding hills, bringing fresh nights. The blue clay soils makes very fine wines as opposed to the ones coming from the South of Barolo region planted over packed sandy soils that brings more power and tannins to the wines. There is so much complexity in that area that covers only 12km long by 6km wine of land!<\/p>\n<p>Then Vittore Alessandria explained their vision for the many wines they\u2019re producing and brought up the typical spiciness that is present in all of their wines, which we all found in the presented wines.<\/p>\n<p>Another proof of their devotion on making great wines, Vittore added this: \u00ab\u00a0if there is wine left in the bottle when two person are going out in a restaurant and sharing a great meal, then you know the wine wasn\u2019t good enough\u00bb.

He did have to change the farming they were doing on his family property, plant vines and buy more land.<\/p>\n<p>Since his desire was to own his land, he did what he wanted and bought plot on as many areas possible in the Piedmonte. That explains why Vietti is one of the owners from the area that have the most vines on so many appellation, having vines on 15 different vineyards for a total of nearly 35ha.<\/p>\n<p>Besides making wines from classic Piedmonte grapes varieties, they even started to make a white wine in the 1960s, the Roero Arneis.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the wines currently available were previously made for their personal consumption as the Scarone Barbera, which reflects the fact that they do not produce huge amount of each wines.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s why one could consider their total production as small, especially when compared to some of their neighbours, even if they have 25 employees to take care of their vineyards on one of the 3 facility they have.<\/p>\n<p>Here is the approximate amount of vines they have by region:<\/p>\n<p>Dolcetto: 2,5ha<\/p>\n<p>Barbera d&#8217;Alba: 6,25ha<\/p>\n<p>Barbera d&#8217;Asti: 8ha<\/p>\n<p>Barolo: 11ha<\/p>\n<p>Moscato: 3,5ha<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s Luca Currado, Luciana Vietti&#8217;s son that runs the place since 1990 as Chief Winemaker and Vineyard Manager, having previousy acquired experience in Bordeaux and California.<\/p>\n<p>This event was leaded y Elena Currado, Luca&#8217;s wife, Public Relations and Marketing Coordinator for Vietti.

This way of having wine consist of tasting wine without knowing its name or origin. The results can often be unexpected, but the main reason why I like to taste wine blindly is that I have reference while tasting it, so anything can happen, even mistakes on which wine it is! It is then judge only on this moment perceptions. The truth is in the glass\u2026<\/p>\n<p>It is a fact that perceptions or feelings can change in regards of the moment of the day, where we are, the people we\u2019re with or even if we\u2019re tired or not. Despite all this, I still think that blind tasting is the best way to be objective on a wine while tasting it.<\/p>\n<p>The most popular tasting ever done is probably the \u201cJudgment of Paris\u201d in 1976 where some of the greatest French wines battled California wines. Everyone there had the conviction that the French wines would win easily, but that was not the case! To learn more about this tasting, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Judgment_of_Paris_(wine)\" target=\"_blank\">here is an article on Wikipedia<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Ok, let\u2019s talk about wine, the whole reason for this article being giving you the results of a tasting I did with \u201cneophyte\u201d tasters, my friends! I had invited them at home for a supper (and to let our kids to play together) and to taste some wines!<\/p>\n<p>At the beginning I didn\u2019t gave then any information about the wines they were having neither their origins nor their price. The goal was to get their impressions of the wines. I did afterward gave away the country then the prices. After that they guessed which wine each one was before giving the answers.<\/p>\n<p>Here is what was poured:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dansmonverre.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/D\u00e9gustation-\u00e0-laveugle-d\u00e9cembre-2015_les-vins.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2408\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2408\" src=\"https:\/\/dansmonverre.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/D\u00e9gustation-\u00e0-laveugle-d\u00e9cembre-2015_les-vins.jpg\" alt=\"D\u00e9gustation \u00e0 l'aveugle\" width=\"379\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dansmonverre.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/D\u00e9gustation-\u00e0-laveugle-d\u00e9cembre-2015_les-vins.jpg 379w, https:\/\/dansmonverre.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/D\u00e9gustation-\u00e0-laveugle-d\u00e9cembre-2015_les-vins-284x300.jpg 284w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 379px) 100vw, 379px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Francis Coppola Diamond Collection Black Label Claret Cabernet-Sauvignon 2013 (26,95$, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.saq.com\/page\/fr\/saqcom\/vin-rouge\/francis-coppola-diamond-collection-black-label-claret-cabernet-sauvignon\/863654?selectedIndex=9&amp;searchContextId=94381397118100293\" target=\"_blank\">Code SAQ\u00a0: 00863654<\/a>)<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Fogo Portugal<\/em><\/span> (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.vinsenepicerie.com\/fr\/fogo-souple\/\" target=\"_blank\">only available in grocery stores for 10,19$<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Barone Ricasoli Brolio Chianti-Classico 2013<\/em><\/span> (24,95$ <a href=\"http:\/\/www.saq.com\/page\/fr\/saqcom\/vin-rouge\/brolio-chianti-classico\/3962?selectedIndex=1&amp;searchContextId=943813971181052965\" target=\"_blank\">Code SAQ\u00a0: 00003962<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>I did not made any \u00ab\u00a0official\u00a0\u00bb grid to gather all the scores, but off the results, one thing is sure, everyone had the grocery store wine right.

Nose of cherries, dark berries and smoke. Easy going on the palate with fruit flavors, sweet spices and a proper acidity level. At first it was the most interesting wine out of the bunch, not being too charming or easy, but after an hour or so, its origin showed more with notes of brown sugar and sweet fruit flavors.

Initially green, very spicy and a little harsh, air did brought classical notes of berries, earth and even some flowers. Long and tasty finish. Showed best almost 4 hours after the bottle opening. This could age and to be enjoyed from now, it has to be put into a decanter for a minimum of an hour, maybe two, since I really liked the last glass from the bottle.

Fine aromas with a gentle scent of evolution with earth and tea notes, but still have fruit and spices left in it. It is on the palate that the wine really showed its prettier side with finesse, lenght and was more ready to drink. Will pair well with many dishes rather than overpowering them. My favorite from the lineup at this tasting. At that price, it\u2019s a real deal.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dansmonverre.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Ch\u00e2teau-Coutet-Saint-\u00c9milion-2010_300.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1896\" src=\"https:\/\/dansmonverre.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Ch\u00e2teau-Coutet-Saint-\u00c9milion-2010_300.jpg\" alt=\"Ch\u00e2teau Coutet Saint-\u00c9milion 2010_300\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dansmonverre.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Ch\u00e2teau-Coutet-Saint-\u00c9milion-2010_300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dansmonverre.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Ch\u00e2teau-Coutet-Saint-\u00c9milion-2010_300-80x80.jpg 80w, https:\/\/dansmonverre.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Ch\u00e2teau-Coutet-Saint-\u00c9milion-2010_300-36x36.jpg 36w, https:\/\/dansmonverre.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Ch\u00e2teau-Coutet-Saint-\u00c9milion-2010_300-180x180.jpg 180w, https:\/\/dansmonverre.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Ch\u00e2teau-Coutet-Saint-\u00c9milion-2010_300-120x120.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Ch\u00e2teau Coutet Saint-Emilion Grand Cru 2010<\/em><\/span> (35,25$ &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.saq.com\/page\/fr\/saqcom\/vin-rouge\/chateau-coutet-2010\/12592816?selectedIndex=1&amp;searchContextId=867795181794717524\" target=\"_blank\">12592816<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>Nice depth where black berry aromas join spices and flower notes in a very fine way.
