This dry wine has a clear light pale yellow colour.
In nose, we can felt wood and riple aplle flavour.
This wine has a crispy and strong attack, but with the second or third gulp of wine, we can discover a nice fresh evolution. Then it's easy to drink.

It is a mix of 90% Semillon and 10% Sauvignon.

Loupiac wine is of a beautiful golden color with an exotic and cristalised fruit aroma. The scent of this wine is also of honey and in my opinion of chocolate as well. As for its taste, it reminds me of honey and spices and maple sirup. There is also a certain balance between the sweetness and the bitterness in this wine, especialy at the end for the finish is quite long.

Coteaux du Layon 2007 Chateau Pierre-Bise, Claude Papin a Beaulieu sur Layon.
This wine has a wonderful brillant straw-golden yellow color.
The nose is very sweet, with an intense honey aroma, associated with a nice cristallized pineapple smell.
This wine has a mellow attack and is medium-bodied and long in mouth.
A very pleasant flavour of onion jam follows the honey flavour, and makes this fresh,sweet wine wonderful with foie-gras or desserts.

Les vignes de l'enfant Jesus

|
ALCOHOL: 13.0%
RATED: 06/02/2010 |

| COMMENTS: |
This Pinot Noir has bright and light red color, charateristic the grape variety
He has a pleasant and elegant cerise griotte-like smell, and flavors like cherry in brandy and spices 'ones. Its odor is very complex and you can feel the smells of coffee. Its real complexity is like a perfume
When you taste it, you need 3 tips because this wine is not easy to describe. In fact, it is one of the most difficult grape to taste because it has a very special attack in the mouth : at the beginning you can feel the strong agressivity of its lively attack and then, this wine coats the whole palete and becomes wonderful in the back of it. The second part of its evolution in the mouth is very interesting after two or three tips.
It is not a really fruity wine as Shiraz which has a distinguished red fruits taste
This wine is not too lively, it seems to be light at the first tip but the sensation no lasts a lot
You keep its flavor and roundness a long time in the mouth
In French, you can describe this wine as a "capiteux" or heady wine because you can keep the memories of it
This wine is well-known for given happyness and a good mood
It has a low amount of tannins and a high acidity level

| COMMENTS: |
This wine has a dark and deep cherry red indeed back color
It delivers expressive smells of oak, spices, coffee and oak wood, aging in oak barrels
It is a pleasant wine with a fresh attack which doesn't remain. During its evolution in the mouth, you can appreciate its good roundness
It has strong tannins felt in the back of the mouth quite immediately
It is not a full-bodied but a well structured wine with a distinguished astringency because it is quite young
This wine can't be drunk for the aperitif, but more with meals like "cote de boeuf" a steak with a pepper sauce in order to limit the tannic sensation of this "charpente" wine. Poulty can be enough because this wine is not beefed-up and could be too bitter or astringent

| COMMENTS: |
This wine has a very clear and lght color, this is the caracteristic of this type of wine (Pinot Noir). It has a light cherry red color.
When you smell it, you have a very pleasant expressive smell. In fact, you have some fragances of fruits above all cherries (griotte), it smells a little bit like the Kriek (Cheery Beer)! There is also spices, coffee aromas. You can smell a special attack with a strong acidity at the beginning, a little bit aggresive but after, it's very fruity, rich and there is a full-bodied evolution with lots of cherry taste.
This wine stays very long time in mouth which is very pleasant.
We can note that you can use the Pinot noir grape to make Champagne !

In mouth, this pleasant wine has a fresh attack, with a good roundness in mouth, a spicy taste. We can feel strong tannins in the back of the mouth, however it is not full-bodied because it doesn't coat the pallate much longer, but it is well structured.
This wonderfull wine will fit with beef meat, and make your meal very tasty and pleasant.

| COMMENTS: |
Color : This red wine from Bordeaux has a dark cherry black color. It has a deep color common from all Medoc wine.
Smell : It has a common smell of spicies, wood, smoke. Indeed they use old barrel, it's for that reason they have their fragrance of wood. Moreover this wine is too young to develop all smells.
Mouth : This wine has a pleasnt strong bodiy. At first it has a freshness but it desappear. It has a good roundness in mouth. Moreover, we can strongly feel tannic in the back of the mouth.
To conclude, this wine is a full bodied wine and well structured. The taste is typical of the Medoc wine. We should eat in the same time to hide astringency.

This brillant wine from well-known region of Napa Valley in California has a brick red colour because of its old vintage (1998). This expressive wine has fine smells of oak wood, spices, and red fruits' jam. On the mouth, it starts with freshness attack but after 3 sips it is very different. We can appreciate the richness of this wine because of its full evolution in mouth and its aftertaste; it is rich in the mouth with a long finish. We feel physical sensation in the whole palate. To conclude, it is a medium or full bodied wine, that we have to drink by eating.
