- of Jonathan B.September 23, 2024(Automatically translated) A big crush this week, a Barolo vintage that I don't usually have the chance to taste. The Lazzarito gives a straightforward wine, focused on finesse, due to its limestone soil, but has the power to last over time. Lovers of great wines must, in my opinion, get their hands on them.
- of Jonathan B.September 23, 2024(Automatically translated) A rosso di Montalcino that plays in the court of Brunello. Vines of 11 to 17 years, ageing of 9 to 12 months but which puts all its freshness into perspective. Focused on cherry, sweet spices and black fruits. This wine can be drunk now or kept for another ten years.
- of Jonathan B.September 23, 2024(Automatically translated) Sauvignon de Bourgogne often overshadows Chardonnay or even Aligoté, but remains an excellent choice for those who want a light wine, with no residual sugar. Mineral, floral and white fruit aromas. Perfect to start as an aperitif or with your cheeses and cold cuts.
- Not available Online Available In storeof Jonathan B.September 23, 2024(Automatically translated) A Greek wine like no other. This 100% malagousia offers you a bouquet of flowers, citrus fruits and a very long minerality. A little fatty, which for my part, will go well with a fish with fatty flesh or a crustacean with claw. The length in the mouth and its flavors remind me of a wonderful Chablis!
- of Jonathan B.September 23, 2024(Automatically translated) Straight Riesling, a mineral with a background and a hydrocarbon that stands out. This wine brings a very nice acidity (lemon and lime) that will go wonderfully with your oysters, but also with sushi. For those who think Rieslings are sweet, think again, this one is dry.
- of Jonathan B.September 23, 2024(Automatically translated) Rediscovery of this New Zealand wine, 100% sauvignon blanc that doesn't look like a Kim Crawford, but more like a Sancerre. Herbaceous, mineral and slightly acidic notes. A fresh wine that will accompany your lobster with lemon butter. For less than $30, it's worth the detour.
- of Jonathan B.September 23, 2024(Automatically translated) Not everyone who likes orange wines, but you should know that this one hardly reminds you of the others. No bitterness detected, aromas of peach, honey and a mineral finish will accompany your favorite fish. To be discovered without further delay, especially since it looks more like a white wine than an orange
- of Jonathan B.September 23, 2024(Automatically translated) Austria is currently in vogue, you should know that the Grüner Veltliner is its trademark in white. This one charmed me with its depth as much for its aromas of citrus, white fruits and its saline touch. A gourmet wine that will please all those who like to discover new horizons.
- of Jonathan B.September 13, 2024(Automatically translated) Served blind, I would have thought of a Nebbiolo but with freshness and finesse. Tasmanian wines are rare and it's a shame because this one brings a lot of complexity, while remaining straight and firm. Ripe black fruits and a slight note of leather. This wine will appeal to lovers of Burgundy wines.
- of Jonathan B.September 13, 2024(Automatically translated) No more 2nd château wines, now they produce plots. Closer to the 1st wine, a Margaux that offers depth and fine tannins. This gives it a nice acidity and a beautiful red fruit without being marked by wood. Only 20% of the wine has been in barrels, the other 80% in amphora.
- of Jonathan B.September 13, 2024(Automatically translated) Excellent Bordeaux, no it's a Californian wine. Surprise! Claire Lurton, owner of 3 Grands Crus Classés in the Médoc, unveils her USA wine in finesse and elegance. A nice acidity. A roundness with black fruits and a touch of roasting. A 2017 that will please Bordeaux lovers.
- of Jonathan B.August 11, 2024(Automatically translated) Fiano, an Italian grape variety in an Australian wine. What a discovery! Aromas of mango, candied pineapple and a little saline touch. Fresh acidity but not aggressive at all. Will go well with white fish with tropical sauce.
- of Jonathan B.August 11, 2024(Automatically translated) Fabien Jouves is back with an excellent 50/50 Merlot/Malbec with freshness. A well-balanced fruitiness with notes of cherry and red berries. No wood, perfect for deli meats outside when it's 38 degrees Celsius.
- of Jonathan B.July 27, 2024(Automatically translated) For Syrah lovers, you will not be out of place. 36 months of ageing (1/3 concrete, 1/3 amphora and 1/3 in 500-litre oak barrels). Aromas of cherry, raspberry and sweet spices. On the palate: fine tannins, black fruits. Perfect meal: Duck Pithiviers from the Extra Menu.
- of Jonathan B.July 27, 2024(Automatically translated) A wine adapted to our Quebec summers. Aromas of dried flowers such as violets or peonies, sweet spices, wild raspberries and a touch of undergrowth. Fresh and easy to pair with your charcuterie, they will amaze you on all occasions.
- $22.30Not available Online Available In storeof Jonathan B.July 16, 2024(Automatically translated) To all those who think that Beaujolais taste like water, think again, because it brings a lot of depth. Being older than average, 2015, and aged for 2 years in casks, this wine gives off aromas of undergrowth, cherry and a long presence on the palate.
- of Jonathan B.July 16, 2024(Automatically translated) A Quebec wine that stands out among great wines from elsewhere. All in finesse, a bouquet of rose embellished with small red fruits and silky tannins can accompany a pork tenderloin with raspberry sauce. Try it now. Under $25.00.
- $143.50Not available Online Available In storeof Jonathan B.June 11, 2024(Automatically translated) For those who love smoked scotches, you won't be disappointed. Smoky, slightly peaty, green apple and a saline touch make this Scotch a wise choice for lovers of fine spirits. I recommend it without ice, but slightly refreshed for maximum aroma.
- of Jonathan B.June 11, 2024(Automatically translated) A fresh rosé, with aromas of berries and rose. Enjoyable at any time, not only in summer but as an aperitif, with charcuterie or while preparing dinner. A great choice to consider when inviting friends over to your home.
- Available Online Available In storeof Jonathan B.January 31, 2024(Automatically translated) Finally a liqueur that tastes like chocolate without hitting the heart because of the residual sugar. A comforting product that will please chocolate lovers, but also those who want to accompany them. To be taken on the rocks, to drown over your vanilla ice cream or simply with your soulmate.
