St. Saphorin, Lavaux

Thymiopoulos Vineyards

Naoussa Xinomavro 2015

A nice surprise and was served blind after a Gevrey first growth, someone called Barolo even, which made sense except for the length that was less than average. Aromas of tobacco leaf, spices, grippy tannins and a nice acidity, pretty good balance overall although I found it to have notes of early evolution.

Belle surprise après un Lavaux St-Jacques, certains pensaient Barolo, très vrai malgré une finale courte. Feuilles tabac, épices, acidité assez forte et des tannins asséchants un petit peu, je l’ai trouvé un peu évolué.

Cave Des Rois St-Saphorin Syrah 2020

Pretty purple dress. First superb nose both fresh and peppery on small black blueberry, blackcurrant, violet flower; then more surprising notes on mountain climates and stink in Switzerland for me. It evokes more southern notes of syrah, such as Cornas, St-Joseph, bacon and smoke without the graphite charcoal side. Really a beautiful cuvée that connects two types of syrah usually tasted. The mouth is fluid. Cuvée full of charm with certainly cold extraction to infuse the fruit to the maximum without excess alcohol. Congratulations Switzerland once again! 🙏🇨🇭

Jolie robe pourpre. Premier nez ouvert à la fois frais et poivré, petits fruits noirs myrtille, cassis, violette; puis des notes plus surprenantes sur les climats de montagnes évoquant les syrah plus sudistes (Cornas, St-Joseph): lard, fumée sans le côté charbon graphite. Une belle cuvée faisant la jonction entre deux types de syrah habituellement goûtées. La bouche est fluide et salivante. Cuvée pleine de charme avec certainement une extraction à froid pour infuser le fruit au maximum sans excès d’alcool. Bravo la Suisse encore une fois ! 🙏🇨🇭
