Domaine du Rochouard - Saint-Nicolas de Bourgueil - 2024

Cochon Volant is an organic Corbières from Château de Caraguilhes . The nose of this organic wine offers very intense fruit aromas with notes of raspberry, blackcurrant and cherry. On the palate, the attack is silky, with notes of crushed raspberry and burlat cherry underlining the wine's fleshiness. The tannins give the wine excellent staying power, reinforcing its overall balance. It's a fleshy, crisp, pleasurable wine.

Magnificent Anjou rouge que la cuvée La Cerisaie 2023 du domaine de la Bergerie. This superb Cabernet Franc is ripe and digestible, a great gourmand on this 2023 vintage.

The chateau Haut Moulin is a very pretty Cotes de Bordeaux Blaye made from old Merlot vines. Nicely constituted, this organic wine develops on notes of red fruit (strawberry, cherry). Excellent value for money.

Médaille d'or féminalise

Les Quarterons du Clos des Quarterons is a joyful cuvée to drink young. It develops on notes of red fruit and accompanies white meats, fine charcuterie and other barbecues.

The Croisée du domaine de la Cotelleraie is a full-bodied, gourmand, fleshy organic wine, with present but pleasant tannins. At last, a Saint-Nicolas de Bourgueil with substance, body and fruit. Good cellaring capacity for this bottle, which we recommend drinking after 3 or 4 years of cellaring.
