Very nice, affordable Merlot. Aroma was strong but not overpowering, definet cherry and ripe red fruit, I thought I detected some black current. You notice the tannin on the atack, with an astringent slightly acid feel. The Evolution was fruity with Cherry overtones. I picked up a slight oak tast on the midium finish.

This bright Chardonnay has a medium golden yellow colour. It has light pleasant smells of spice, caramel and exotic fruits. It has also a touch of vanilla. These smells are due to the fermentation in oak barrels. In mouth, this nice medium body wine has a refreshing attack and supple evolution and finish. This wine matches with fish and oysters. I recommand it to you.

This wine has a pleasant caramel color. It has elegant honey and fig odours. In mouth, the first attack is balanced between richness and roudness. After we can appreciate the fruityness balanced by the livelyness, and then, the firmness. It's a rich body wine, with a long finish. To conclude, it's a light wine, esasy to drink, with strong acidity wich balance the sweetness and the fruityness of the wine

This Chardonnay has a pale yellow colour and a pleasant smell of caramel and dried fruits. In mouth, this harmonious medium body wine has a round supple attack, after, a fresh and flowerfull evolution. There is a good balance between the flower taste and the supple attack. But it doesn't coat the palate.The final of this dry wine is long, we keep the test in mouth.
