This Cuvée Abbaye from Domaine de l'Ancienne Cure is a great Bergerac. The charming, earthy nose suggests trumpets of death. The fine, precise texture evolves on the palate with notes of blueberry and black pepper. The lingering finish then expresses itself on black fruits, with a grainy sensation that provokes intense salivation.
This magnificent organic Saint-Emilion grand cru from Château Leydet-Valentin has a generous nose of small black berries, cherries and plums. The palate is supple and greedy, with fine, well-integrated tannins. The ageing is mastered, leaving the wine's fruitiness to the fore. A superb discovery, this Saint-Emilion-Grand-Cru!
L'abeille de Fieuzal rouge is a superb Pessac-Leognan red, fruity and full of energy. This is Chateau Fieuzal's second wine, which requires more time to taste. A great success for Chateau Fieuzal in this balanced 2019 vintage.
The Blanc de Noirs cuvée from Champagne Charpentier has a nose that's at once concentrated, rich and airy. Immediately marked by vanilla and toast greediness, it evolves distinctly towards red fruits. The creamy bubbles contribute to the soft, lingering texture. The ultimate gourmet sensation releases fresh, aromatic and refined notes.
Terre d "émotion Brut Vérité des Champagne Charpentier boasts a brilliant yellow-gold color, illuminated by green-gold highlights. Initially brioche-scented with hawthorn and violets, the nose is very fine and gourmand. The terroir enhances the blend, and the tangerine, white pepper and limestone minerality are very persistent and harmonious.
Moulin des Dames du Château Tour des Gendres has a bright, pale gold color. The nose reflects the vintage's fine maturity: aromas of dried apricot, candied fruit and toast, with hints of citrus zest adding freshness. The attack is full-bodied, with a dense, highly aromatic body and a magnificent persistence on the finish.
Fruissance du Château les Hauts de Caillevel is a supple, gourmet red Bergerac. A lovely organic Bergerac made from cabernet and merlot, versatile and fruity.
2024 is a great success for Château Tour des Gendres on this cuvée des conti. This organic wine develops on pear, exotic fruit; on the palate, we find the same notes as on the nose with superb density. This Cuvée des Conti is a real favorite, not only with fish, but also with foie gras, for example! Guide des meilleurs vins de France 2022: 90/100
