Team’s top picks SAQ Trois-Rivières - Centre-ville

(Automatically translated) What a delicious red, combining power, finesse and superb length in the mouth. Aromas of black fruits, spices, oak and liquorice. Truly sublime, and offered at a very adequate price. Stock up while there's time.

(Automatically translated) A beautiful Cabernet Franc from Nicolas Grosbois in the Bourgueil appellation. A wine with a note of red cherry, with supple tannins and a marked acidity. An ideal red to accompany charcuterie.

(Automatically translated) A gourmet brunello. Powerful tannins but not too drying. A very ripe black fruit and a well-integrated woody touch. Great ageing potential. Tuscany at its best.

(Automatically translated) Interesting as a saline gin and tonic. The salt is of course a reminder of the origin of this distillery once in the lower part of the river where the water is salty, but well embellished with elderflower and pink pepper for a slightly spicier touch. To be enjoyed in the hot sun in a glass filled with ice cubes.

(Automatically translated) At the Ursulines winery, this Burgundy Chardonnay is developing to offer a high quality wine. Citrus aromas and with a beautiful freshness. Jean-Claude Boisset once again shares his know-how.

(Automatically translated) No need to introduce this Pauillac grand cru, but I'd like to tell you about it. A blend of 67% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot, 2021 is powerful with great ageing potential. 75% new barrels, toasted aromas with fresh red fruits. Wow.

(Automatically translated) A blend of nero di troia and montepulciano, this Italian red wine deserves its place on our table. A gourmet, tasty and slightly evolved wine, it will perfectly accompany your pizza with tomato sauce and charcuterie. Aromas of plum and spices, it will charm you.

(Automatically translated) You don't find this product often, but it's really interesting to discover this emblem of the island of Chios. Produced from resin from the mastiha tree, the result is unique. Sweet with herbaceous notes and earthy carrots, this liqueur will surprise the most curious.

(Automatically translated) Always Fabien Jouves on his juicy cuvées in explosion of red fruits. So nice to drink as an aperitif. 1-liter format that is perfectly shareable. Not too full-bodied, a charcuterie board with that, why not!

(Automatically translated) A beautiful Chenin Blanc imported by Divin Paradis under the appellation Vouvray en Loire. Aromas of white flowers and ripe quince, a palpable mineral tension. To be drunk with a good white fish with gribiche sauce.

(Automatically translated) Saint James Royal Ambré, an agricultural rum to remember. Produced in Martinique and aged in oak barrels, it evokes aromas of vanilla, molasses and a fruity touch. Try it in a ti-punch: lime juice, cane sugar and rum.

(Automatically translated) Garganega grape variety that I particularly admire. Quite expressive with aromas of pear, acacia and fennel, very pleasant to enjoy with a platter of charcuterie. Good natural wine from Angiolino Maule to discover.

(Automatically translated) Greek red wine from the Nemea region. Affordable, it brings us notes of red fruits with a touch of mocha. Enjoy with a classic gyros.

(Automatically translated) A very spicy red, not too full-bodied but oh so complex. Aroma of small red fruits and an explosion of garrigue. Enjoy refreshed, while cooking.

(Automatically translated) 100% Monastrell produced in Murcia under the Jumilla appellation. This red wine, not too full-bodied, with a remarkable acidity, leads us to notes of cherry stones with a floral touch. Drink chilled with grilled poultry.

(Automatically translated) An interesting Bordeaux from a 2019 vintage. Dominant of Merlot, it has already evolved a little. Aromas of very ripe fruit and has a little wet leaf side and full tannins. Enjoy with a root vegetable and mushroom stew.

(Automatically translated) There is not just the Zoo in Granby, L'Absintherie des Cantons has established itself there and develops impeccable products. This elderberry and dune pepper gin is a "must" in your bar. Tinted blue by pea blossom, it becomes fuchsia with the addition of a tangy element such as a tonic or lemon.

(Automatically translated) Sangiovese a little evolved. Aromas of undergrowth and liquorice, delicious with black pudding, candied tomatoes and spaghetti squash. Drink slightly chilled.

(Automatically translated) Here is a Nebbiolo worthy of a great wine. Tannins so well integrated, notes of black cherry and a bit of fresh blackberry. A wine that can be enjoyed on its own. Enjoy!

(Automatically translated) UME fruit liqueur (small Japanese plum). Sourced directly from Japan. Unique and delicious product, fruity and tangy, try it mixed with Canadian whisky on ice, it's tasty.

(Automatically translated) A Sangiovese of gastronomy. An olive side, black fruits, a persistent length in the mouth and sustained tannins make this wine a must-have. Enjoy with lamb osso buco.

(Automatically translated) Fabien Jouves surprises us again with this white from the South-West of France. A carefully chosen blend of grape varieties offers us here a wine with aromas of green apple and a touch of beeswax. Wow!

(Automatically translated) A rich and tasty Spanish red that draws on tertiary aromas of black fruit compote, a little muffled, opaque and long in the mouth. A red that calls for a nice rare prime rib.

(Automatically translated) Coming from vineyards further north in Spain in the Ebro Valley, this rather approachable Grenache gives us notes of cherry and a little white pepper (a characteristic of Syrah usually). Easy to drink and not too full-bodied, I would go with a nice seafood and chorizo paella.
