Team’s top picks SAQ Sélection Beauport - Rue Blanche-Lamontagne

(Automatically translated) Beautiful coppery red color. Pronounced fruit nose, soft smoke like in a campfire. Peat, vegetal and woody palate, impregnated with smoky notes. The Oloroso Sherry that once permeated the casks has been on the rise for three years, bringing flavours of cherry, grape and dark chocolate. A superb scotch. In my top ten.

(Automatically translated) A little bomb! A gourmet blend of Malbec, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Grenache, aged for 22 months in French oak barrels, more than half of which are new. Aromas of strawberry, liquorice, eucalyptus, wet pebble and cedar. Generous palate, firm tannins. Flavours of blackberry, cocoa and tobacco. Wow!

(Automatically translated) A 100% Touriga Nacional from the Alentejo with a rich nose reminiscent of small, almost candied black fruits, such as blueberries and blackberries, with notes of leather, liquorice and dried rose petals. Generous palate, firm tannins and fresh acidity, balanced wood. A must-see in Portugal!

(Automatically translated) This 100% Pinot Noir from the Richelieu Valley is expressed by aromas of cherry stone, elderberry and strawberry, with notes of damp earth and pink pepper. On the palate, it is a Pinot of a beautiful concentration, with balanced body and acidity. Really very solid!

(Automatically translated) Elegant and harmonious, the Ruinart opens with notes of brioche crumbs. This is followed by orange blossom, pine nuts, roasted almonds and ripe pear. On the palate, an almost round body well supported by a refreshing acidity. The perfect aperitif for smoked salmon bites!

(Automatically translated) As soon as it opens, the nose of this great "chardo" from the Columbia Valley goes WOW! Aromas of yellow apple, chamomile, a tropical side on dried banana and pineapple, as well as a well-integrated woodiness. Palate well rounded but not without elegance. Perfect for cream scallops.

(Automatically translated) On the nose, elegant richness, scent of ripe pear and peach. Notes of almonds and acacia with a touch of curry. The palate of this 100% Marsanne is round with a slightly lower acidity. The finish is long and on flavors of stone fruits such as apricot. Grandiose white hermitage!

(Automatically translated) Never disappointing! Rich nose reminiscent of stewed apple, brioche bread and hazelnuts, with a touch of candied lemon and honeysuckle. The palate is rather round but very well supported by a refreshing acidity. Great value for money!

(Automatically translated) Surprising Chilean Pinot Noir from Aconcagua. The first nose is dominated by herbs and spices. Then come red cherry, redcurrant and graphite. Palate of great balance. From plants brought directly from Gevrey Chambertin and Vosne-Romanée!
