Altia Corp.

Pasote Tequila

Blanco

One of the best Blanco Tequilas out there. No additives nor made with a diffuser unlike your celebrity Tequilas that are so abundant nowadays. If you like tequila that doesn’t taste like tequila stick to syrup in a bottle known as Clase Azul which is the Caymus & Austin Hope of Tequila.👎🏼
Felipe is a master at making real Tequila

Sonoma-based August Sebastiani’s 3 Badge Beverage Corp. (the new name behind Kirk & Sweeney rums, Uncle Val’s gins, and others) has launched its first tequila: Pasote, which is made by Felipe Camerena in the Los Altos region of Jalisco.

Made in part with rainwater instead of just spring water, it’s made using traditional methods and bottled in antique-style glass. The reposado and anejo are aged in former, American oak bourbon barrels.

Les Fous du Roi Sàrl

Le Vin Orange Lavaux Pinot Gris 2019

Usually not focused on this type of wine, it was a very pleasant tasting. Fresh and tangy attack on currant notes; the body is delicate and complex with extraction that brings relief. The finish is more than honorable on infused, hay, dried herbs notes. Balanced, really well done. 🇨🇭

Habituellement pas très porté sur ce type de vin, ce fut une dégustation très agréable. Attaque fraiche et acidulée sur des notes groseilles ; le corp est délicat et complexe avec de l’extraction qui apporte du relief; enfin la finale est plus qu’honorable sur des notes infusées, végétales, foin, herbes séchées. Équilibré, vraiment bien fait. 🇨🇭

Château des Jacques

Roches Noires Morgon Gamay 2017

Ruby color, limpid, fluid. A nose of red fruits, flowers and woody notes from aging. Bouquet, classic and classy nose. On the palate, the attack is balanced, the body is charming, the tannins of oak barrels and the fruit are well mixed, with notes of red fruits and flowers. The finish unfolds on woody tannins and a tangy return. Without great complexity but balanced. The wine falls quickly, to drink on the opening day.

Robe rubis, limpide, fluide. Nez bouqueté, classique et classieux, mêlant fruits rouge, fleurs et notes boisées d’élevage. En bouche l’attaque est équilibrée, le corp est charmeur les tanins de fût de chênes et le fruit sont bien mêlés, sur des notes fruits rouges et fleurs. La finale se déploie sur les tanins boisés et un retour acidulés agréables. Sans grande complexité mais équilibré. Le vin tombe vite, à boire le jour de l’ouverture.

D. du Roy Marsannay 2017

Ruby dress, medium intensity. Greedy nose, between red fruits, toasted notes, vanilla, sweet tobacco, roasting. In the mouth, medium body, with a nice mineral sensation to balance fruit and aging. Cherry, cranberry, oak (leger) is accessible and neat. Elegance, easy to drink. To drink or to keep.

Robe rubis, intensité moyenne. Nez friand entre fruits rouges et notes toastées vanille, tabac doux, torréfaction. En bouche, corp moyen, avec une belle sensation minérale pour équilibré le fruit et l’élevage. Cerise, canneberge, chêne (leger) c’est accessible et soigné. Belle élégance et facile à boire.

Domaine Joubert

Brouilly Vieilles Vignes Gamay 2018

Nature gamay of Beaujolais, all in fruit. Balanced and charming, the attack is supple, the body carries a certain intensity due to aged vines certainly .. the finish is short. A gourmet, juicy wine for friends.

Gamay nature du beaujolais tout en fruit. Équilibré et charmeur l’attaque est souple, le corp porte une certaine intensité due aux ceps de vieillie vignes certainement.. la finale est courte. Un vin de copain gourmand, juteux..

Domaine des Fines Caillottes Pouilly-Fumé Sauvignon Blanc

The nose is really superb, between bright notes of fruit (citrus fruits, apricot stones), barrel notes. Lively mouth, beautiful minerality, gunstone, notes of onion, poultry. Balanced, well-built body. Superb finish also, bringing together the tasting bouquet. Nice pleasure!

Le nez est vraiment superbe, entre notes vives de fruits (agrumes, noyaux d’abricot), notes de fût. Bouche vive, belle minéralité, pierre à fusil, des notes d’oignon, volaille. Corp équilibré, bien construit. Finale superbe également, réunissant le bouquet de dégustation. Beau plaisir!
