Rayos Uva 2018 Rioja Olivier Rivière

Sep 25, 2019

A youthful fruity rojo made by a frenchman with Tempranillo (50%), Graciano (30%) and Garnacha (20%) from organic vineyards. This modern Rioja is bursting with ripe velvety fruit. Medium bodied, well balanced, quite supple with good length. The nose displays lovely aromas of field berries and warm sweet spices. A great match with grilled veal or pork.

Country : Spain

Price : 21,20 $

Syrah 2016 Columbia Valley, Barnard Griffin

Sep 18, 2019

Washington state wines are quite surprising, check them out ! This deeply coloured, lovely Syrah (98% + 2% Cabernet Sauvignon) is quite flavourful. The typical nose displays dark berry and smoke with an expected hint of mineral/graphite. Quite intense and full, it offers surprising acidity that adds freshness and elegance. Enjoy with grilled lamb chops. Great match !

Chianti Classico 2016 Volpaia

Sep 11, 2019

Following the excellent 2015, this 2016 100% Sangiovese offers more aging potentiel (4 to 6 years). An elegant well structured Chianti with perfect acidity to assure balance and freshness. Bursting with fresh fruit flavours that linger for a while, this superb organic red displays very good extract. It’s earthy nose is enhanced by charming fruity and spicy scents. Excellent with italian sausage and rapini pizza!

Chablis 2017 Bourgogne, Nicolas Potel

Sep 4, 2019

Just back from Burgundy, I was impressed by many 2017 Chablis. This flavourful cuvée from Potel displays great intensity, good length and lively acidity. The typical mineral nose brims with citrus and apple scents. My first Chablis recommendation in over a year ! A great example ! Amazing with simply grilled shrimp.

Sécateurs Rosé 2018 Swartland, Badenhorst,

Aug 28, 2019

The SAQ will remit $1 to Banques alimentaires du Québec for every rosé wine purchased this weekend (August 29 to Sept 2nd). Deeply colored, this rosé displays lots of character. The fruity nose is reminiscent of strawberry jam. From Cinsault (90%) and Syrah (20%), a flavorful rosé that offers great mouthfeel while remaining easy to drink. Try with barbecued chicken wings.

Country : South Africa

Raisins Gaulois 2018 Vin de France, M & C Lapierre

Aug 21, 2019

Fans of Beaujolais, you will be seduced ! A traditional approach (semi-carbonic Beaujolais maceration), produced a gamay bursting with fresh fruit character. This is what Beaujolais Primeur (Nouveau) should be ; not the bland/boring disappointing reds we receive every year in November ! Fresh, well balanced and typically light, serve this young easy drinking red with grilled chicken. Ideally decant this cuvée to evaporate residual CO2.

Crozes-Hermitage 2017 Laurent Combier

Aug 15, 2019

With less structure than the excellent 2016 vintage, this organic Crozes is rather supple and easy drinking. The complex nose displays field berries, smoke, anis, black licorice and graphite. Medium bodied, good balance, fresh acidity and good length. A charming red perfect for grilled veal and pork sausages. Enjoy

Morgon 2018 Marcel Lapierre

Aug 8, 2019

A hot and dry vintage, 2018 produced reds that should stand the test of time. This Morgon from Lapierre confirms the great potential. Deeply coloured, the nose bursts with red and black berry fruit enhanced by a subtle animal scent. Lots of extract, great structure, surprisingly fresh acidity and perfect balance. This flavourful red will improve nicely over the next decade. A seductive Morgon perfect for veal fillets with porcini mushrooms

Le vin est une fête 2017 Marmandais, Elian da Ros

Jul 31, 2019

Deep colour, intense nose displaying fruity, vegetal (bell peppers), and animal scents. Quite elegant and fresh, medium bodied with good length. This easy drinking, soft red, offers velvety supple tannins. A blend of Merlot (60%), Cabernet Franc (20%) and Abouriou (20%) that will match perfectly with grilled veal and pork

Country : France

Coté 2018 Côtes de Gascogne, Domaine du Tariquet,

Jun 26, 2019

From South-West France, a lovely white displaying charming velvety flavors. This 50-50 blend of Chardonnay and Sauvignon brims with intense fruity scents reminiscent of a fruit cocktail. A hint of residual sugar (9 gr/li) adds texture and richness. A flavourful and seductive white with soft acidity and refreshing bitterness. Perfect aperitif wine or enjoy just sitting around the pool.
