Lions de Batailley, Pauillac, 2015 (Bordeaux, Red)<\/h4>\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n

Second wine of Chateau Batailley<\/a>, this 2015 Lions de Batailley vintage is nonetheless a Pauillac of great elegance. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (61%), Merlot (31%) and Cabernet Franc (8%), it has a deep ruby color. On the nose, rich, intense notes of black fruits. As for the mouth, round and balanced, it highlights a powerful body and elegant tannins. The finish is beautiful. A second wine in the tradition of the grand cru class\u00e9. <\/p>\n\n

Au pied du Mont Chauve, Saint-Aubin1er<\/sup> cru “Le Charmois”, 2015 (Burgundy, Red)<\/h4>\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n

Planted on a terroir in the middle of a slope and on a limestone soil, these 40 year old vines, managed in a sustainable way – like most of the Picard family’s vines – offer a pinot noir of great quality. This Saint-Aubin1er<\/sup> cru “Le Charmois”<\/a> has a garnet color, and a complex nose with persistent notes of ripe black fruits and spices. The attack is full, the balance is perfect. On the finish, a light woodiness.<\/p>\n\n

Joseph Mellot, Pouilly-Fum\u00e9, Grande Cuv\u00e9e des Edvins, 2015 (Loire, White)<\/h4>\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n

Emblematic of the Centre-Loire region, the name Joseph Mellot, heir to 500 years of history, is a guarantee of excellence. This Pouilly-Fum\u00e9 – sauvignon blanc – “Grande Cuv\u00e9e des Edvins”<\/a>, produced from sustainable agriculture, is produced in limited quantities. Freshness, finesse and delicacy are the key words of this complex wine, marked by a brioche nose and, in the mouth, notes of pineapple and exotic fruits, but also hazelnuts. <\/p>\n\n

Domaine d’Eole, Coteaux d’Aix en Provence, 2016 (Provence, Red)<\/h4>\n\n

Here is a red wine ideal for summer.<\/a> Not surprising, since it comes from vines – Grenache, Syrah and Carignan – planted at altitude, in a valley of the Alpilles. After two years of aging, this AOP Coteaux d’Aix en Provence, 2016 vintage, is certainly young but shows notes of red fruits, a direct attack matched with a nice tannic melody, and a fresh yet consistent finish. Served chilled, it is perfect with raw or grilled meats with herbs.<\/p>\n\n

Les Grandes Serres, Ch\u00e2teauneuf-du-Pape, 2016 (Rh\u00f4ne, White)<\/h4>\n\n

Many\nthat young, this 2016 La Cour des Papes vintage, AOC Ch\u00e2teauneuf-du-Pape, shows\nimmediately a great interest. Behind its pale yellow dress, it offers a nose\nrefined with notes of flowers and, subtly, citrus fruits, whose freshness\ninvites, in the middle of summer, to the tasting. Which reveals a lively, round wine,\ncharacterized by a magnificent fruity score. Its finish, very mineral,\nremains fresh. Served at 12 degrees, it is suitable for summer tables,\nheterogeneous. <\/p>\n\n

Ch\u00e2teau de Pibarnon, 2011 (Provence, Ros\u00e9)<\/h4>\n\n

Who\nsaid that ros\u00e9 is not a wine to keep? Certainly not Eric de\nSaint Victor, the owner of Ch\u00e2teau de Pibarnon, in Bandol, whose ros\u00e9s\nconstitute a third of its production. Its 2011 vintage is indeed a\ngreat wine; the Mourv\u00e8dre, 65% of which is present, brings it complexity\nstructure and freshness, while the Cinsault offers the fat and the\nfruit. There is no doubt: this wine, which reveals a beautiful aromatic palette and a\nbeautiful balance, is a wine of gastronomy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
