(Automatically translated) Magnificent cuvée that this Marylou! On the nose, humus and dark red forest fruits tending towards black compete for the limelight. On the palate, the explosion of flavours survives on velvet, nothing but velvet, and all in freshness. A perfect keel for an aperitif or a dish of tofu and roasted asparagus.

(Automatically translated) Organic, natural, juicy and a bit woody – and this, thanks to its brief aging in oak barrels – this red from the region of Murcia in Spain does not forget to highlight its small structured side. The Mourvèdre is ultimately smooth, silky, between black fruits and spices.

(Automatically translated) Sublime cru than this one. As its prestigious appellation suggests, it is as rich as it is fine, and as elegant as it is tannic – but by being silky, nuance! And what nuances, by the way! Blackberry, blackcurrant, violet, candied cherry and pepper manifest themselves with rare distinction.

(Automatically translated) Grape variety apparently ancient brought up to date in Anjou (especially for natural wines), Pineau d'Aunis reveals here its strengths while freshness and lightness: notes of ripe red fruits and touch of sweet spices. Fiery and with a spicy finish, it will accompany well grilled tempeh.

(Automatically translated) Beautiful bouquet signed here by Sofia Coppola, daughter of Francis Ford. The filmmaker tries her hand at a fresh and generous cuvée dominated by aromas of green apple, honeysuckle, citrus fruits, minerals and, Riesling obliges, hydrocarbon. It's a success! The result is tart, ideal with fried tofu.

(Automatically translated) Nice wine of thirst that one! Its share of Grenache makes it a little bomb of red fruits, juicy galore and generously floral. Its share of carignan brings the touch of scrubland and candied black berries. Power in freshness that will go well with southern dishes.

(Automatically translated) Gouleyant to perfection, this gamay has become a classic of thirst wines and has discreet, elegant tannins behind their apparent nonchalance. As for sensations, we balance between flavors of black cherry and sweet liquorice, all haloed with a hint of spices and a frank minerality. It's extra!

(Automatically translated) At the table with a Tuscan liter like that, you can only delight the guests! If the structure and the fruit are classic – black cherry, plum, licorice and a touch of scrubland – the refreshing acidity and generosity give the whole a chubby but digestible side.

(Automatically translated) The atypical blend of this white from the Wairarapa region is full of promise! Aromas of white flowers and fruits, grapefruit flesh and sour cream assert their presence, before minerality, freshness and tasty lemony notes express themselves with exuberance.
