Sauvignon 2008

Tasting notes :
A lively wine full of fruit and flavour.
The robe is straw coloured with slight tinges of green. The nose gives hints of fresh fruit which, when combined with hints of citrus gives it a fresh taste.

This is a wine for drinking young, within two years, in order to preserve the fresh taste and fruitiness.
Serve cool, but not chilled, between 10oC and 12oC.

Wine and food :
Ideal as an aperitif or on its own or with a drop of blackberry cordial. It tastes equally wonderful with shell fish, grilled fish or fish "en papillote".

Chardonnay 2008

Tasting notes :
A wine of the south, full bodied and richly aromatic.
The robe is yellow with hints of gold and endowed with bright high tones.
The nose is intense yet delicate with hints of white peaches and grilled hazelnuts.
Full bodied in the mouth, plump with notes of oak and a touch of ripe citrus. A long finish.

This is a wine for keeping. It has already developed into a fine wine but will continue to improve for a further 5 or 6 years.
Best served cool, between 12oC and 14oC.

Wine and food :
Particularly good with crab meat and fish in sauces but also goes extremely well with poultry or a hard strongish cheese such as an old Cantal or Comté.

Merlot 2005

Tasting notes :
A real southern Merlot bringing memories of rich soils and bright sunshine.
A beautiful ruby-red robe. The nose brings dark fruits, plums, damsons, blackcurrants, blackberries and stewed red fruit. A feast to the senses and underscored with notes of forest floor and liquorice. The attack is unadulterated and well balanced.
The deep rich flavours of liquorice, dark plum, blackcurrant and blackberry fill the mouth whilst the hint of dark chocolate underlines the flavours and extends the finish.
Good tannins softened by the time spent in barrel.
The 2001 Merlot is a wine which is excellent for drinking now but it will continue to evolve and improve over the next 6 years.
Best served at 18oC and decanted one hour before drinking.

Wine and food :
A good mixer. The 2001 Merlot will go well with charcuterie, any red meat, pork or lamb. It also makes a good partner to grilled Tuna.

Syrah 2005

Tasting notes :
A typical wine from the Languedoc.
Intense cherry coloured robe. A nose, spicy with notes of dark plum, cassis, blackberry, vanilla and liquorice.
The mouth is bursting with flavours. It is impossible to ignore the insistence of them. The rich aroma of Syrah with red and black fruits and in the background violets and liquorice.

Whilst ready for drinking now, this wine has the potential to improve with keeping.

Best opened 1 to 2 hours before serving. Ideal temperature 18oC, but if you prefer, in summer it can be slightly cooled ( 16-17oC).

Wine and food :
This wine is a perfect partner for the local cuisine ( game, meat in sauce, duck …)and also goes well with all Mediterranean cuisine.

Cabernet Sauvignon 2006

Tasting notes :
All the strength of a Cabernet harvested when the grapes are at their ripest.
A deep red purple robe. The nose bursts with notes of cassis and myrtle, of myriads of spices and a faint hint of leather.
In the mouth, the attack is strong but because the abundance of tannins are sufficiently muted, the suppleness and length linger.

This wine is just coming of age. Ready for drinking now, it will improve with keeping and should continue to evolve over the next 6 years or more.

Best served between 17oC and 18oC. Decanting 1 to 2 hours before drinking is recommended.

Wine and food :
The Cabernet is a wine which goes well with all our local dishes. We particularly recommend trying it with a grilled "Côte de bœuf " a dish which will allow the wine to reveal all its attributes.

Séduction Rosé 2008

Les cépages : 95% Grenache, 5% Syrah

La dégustation : Une invitation à se resservir...

Servir frais à 10 - 128°C.
