🍷Eng And Fr Description of the Domain in the first comment  .  It sparkles like a text message received at 2 a.m.: you don't expect it, but it brings an instant smile . Champagne brut cuvée AS.3 from Maison Godin Alexia @champagne_godin_alexia .  🍇: 50% Pinot Meunier, 30% Chardonnay, 20% Pinot Noir .  👀: In the glass, it shines like a bright, light gold jewel, vibrant and lively. The bubbles rise in a tight column, like an express elevator, promising a lively pace . 👃: First, a ripe apple dancing with candied lemon, then a hint of warm brioche. And behind that, a wink of stone fruit, like mirabelle plum jam playing hide-and-seek. A straightforward yet charming nose . 👄: On the attack, it's taut, direct, almost "snappy." The Meunier brings generosity, the Chardonnay precision, and the Pinot Noir a backbone that says, "Don't worry, I've got this." The texture is fine, caressing, but with a mischievous little kick. The fruit/freshness b...

Abonne toi gratuitement Le Daiquiri n’a jamais eu peur de la lumière Si ce que vous venez de lire vous a parlé, un like ou un commentaire est toujours le bienvenu. C’est le genre de petit geste qui réchauffe autant qu’un bon verre bien servi. Il y a des cocktails qui jouent les divas. Et puis il y a le Daiquiri. Lui, c’est un rayon qui fend les nuages. Simple. Franc. Sans maquillage. Juste du rhum, du citron vert, du sucre. Le strict minimum pour dire la vérité. L’histoire commence dans une chaleur qui colle aux tempes.  Cuba, fin du XIXᵉ siècle. L’air tremble, les mines de fer tournent au ralenti, les Américains débarquent après la guerre hispano-américaine. Dans le village côtier de Daiquirí, un ingénieur nommé Jennings Stockton Cox, chemise trempée, moustache d'époque, tente d’avoir l’air plus digne qu’il ne l’est. Cox organise une réception improvisée pour des collègues. Il fouille son armoire à bouteilles : plus de Gin. Catastrophe sociale en approche. Sur la table...

🍷Eng And Fr Description of the Domain in the first comment  .  A fun, fruity, toasty gin that plays between sweetness and a touch of rebellion . Belladone Distillery's gourmet gin .  👀: In the glass, it's clear, bright, almost silvery . 👃: It opens with red fruits reminiscent of warm jam, crushed strawberry, juicy raspberry, then a light toasty cloud that evokes the crust of lightly toasted bread. A gin that says, "Come on, I'm sweet... but not too sweet." It smells like a fruit tart that decided to sneak a shot of alcohol between batches . 👄: The initial taste is smooth, almost caressing, surprising for a gin. It immediately returns to the fruit, but this time in a wilder version: pink peppercorn, blueberry, a hint of spice .  A rich, slightly oily texture; this is far from the dry gin that hits you like a ton of bricks. Here, it glides on, it warms gently, it winks at you. The finish is toasty, long, almost pastry-like.   🇫🇷Un gin...

Menetou-Salon red, Cuvée Clos de Beauregard from Domaine Chavet de la Farge @charvetdelafarge .  Vintage: 2022 .  🍇: Pinot Noir .  👀: The color is ruby ​​red, not too dark, just deep enough to give the impression of fine velvet in soft light. Cherry highlights, almost redcurrant . 👃: Red fruits, fresh cherry, ripe raspberry, with a hint of crushed leaves and undergrowth. A touch of sweet spices, a hint of gray pepper… and something indulgent, almost like redcurrant jam that's taken a lesson in elegance . 👄: A supple, direct, unfussy attack.  The Pinot Noir is crisp and clean: crunchy, juicy, lively but not nervous. The tannins? Fine as lace. The cherry returns, deeper, slightly stewed; a touch of cranberry, a hint of spice. The finish is fresh, with that ...

Cairanne Blanc Cuvée Galifay from Domaine de la Présidente .  Vintage: 2023 .  🍇: Grenache Blanc, Roussanne, Viognier . 👀: In the glass, it sparkles. Pale gold color, slightly straw-colored highlights, a crisp, almost clinical clarity, but with a touch of sensuality . 👃: On the nose, ripe apricot, juicy pear, a hint of white flowers. And on the second sip, the Roussanne reveals itself: a slightly honeyed, subtly sunny aroma that makes you want to say, "We know each other, don't we?" .  👄: Round, almost creamy attack, but without heaviness. The Grenache Blanc displays its comfort, the Viognier brings fleshy fruit, and the Roussanne calms everything with a touch of noble bitterness. It's fresh without being edgy, ample without being sluggish. The finish lingers ge...

Pure, unadulterated pleasure . Côtes du Rhône early release from Domaine des Romarins .  Vintage: 2025 .  👀: In the glass, it's a vibrant red, somewhere between light garnet and crushed cherry. Clear and bright, it catches the light with the confidence of a young wine that has nothing to hide . 👃: An explosion of crisp red fruits: slightly jammy strawberry, fresh cherry, a touch of raspberry that tickles your fancy . And behind it… a little something peppery, as if someone had slipped a pepper mill into a fruit basket . 👄: A wonderfully juicy attack. The texture is supple, fluid, and luscious. The tannins? Wise, refined, not the kind to grate on your teeth. It stays true to the red fruit notes, with a subtle licorice twist and a final burst of energy that makes y...

Abonne toi gratuitement 🍇 Le Beaujolais Nouveau : l’histoire d’un vin qui a appris à courir avant de marcher Il y a des vins qui naissent doucement, en silence, dans des caves de pierres où le temps s’étire. Et puis il y a le Beaujolais Nouveau. Un vin qui n’attend pas. Un vin qui claque la porte. Un vin qui déboule dans la pièce comme un feu d’artifice mal élevé. Ce soir, j’avais envie de remonter au tout début. Au moment où tout a basculé. Quand le Beaujolais Nouveau n’était encore qu’un vin pressé, avant de devenir une fête planétaire, une nuit blanche en bouteille. Le premier cri du Beaujolais Nouveau Avant 1951, le futur “nouveau” n’a pas de nom. C’est juste un vin primeur, tiré vite fait, bu en local. Les vignerons se partagent les premières cuvées entre eux, les bistrots lyonnais les servent en douce aux habitués, les vendangeurs trinquent pour célébrer la fin du travail. Un vin du moment. Un vin de joie brute. Puis arrive le décret du 13 novembre 1951. Ce petit bout de papier ...

Pommard Cuvée Les Vaumuriens-Haut from Domaine de la Renaissance .  Vintage: 2020 .  🍇: Pinot Noir .  👀: In the glass, it's a deep, luminous garnet red, like a ruby ​​that spent the summer in Burgundy. It shines, it catches the light, it promises something serious without being austere . 👃: Black cherry, redcurrant, something very "Pommard with conviction." Then it opens up like black fruit jam. There's a hint of damp undergrowth. And behind that, a more subtle wink: sweet spices, a touch of smoke . 👄: A bold, almost rock-and-roll attack, it pops and then lingers. The texture is straight and precise, the tannins a little tight but polished like new leather. The black fruits return, riper and juicier, then a mineral note, typical of the hillside, gives ...

Abonne toi ☕🔥 Irish Coffee : la chaleur qui traverse l’hiver Il y a des boissons qui ne se boivent pas : elles vous prennent dans les bras. L’Irish Coffee fait partie de celles-là. Un truc simple, presque ancien, mais qui vous attrape comme une chanson qu’on croyait avoir oubliée, une guitare sèche au coin du feu, un pull trop grand, une lumière qui jaunit tout doucement les meubles. Et voilà que je me suis mis à repenser à lui. À ce verre qui fume, qui flotte entre deux mondes : le café du matin et le whisky du soir. D’où ça m’a pris ? Je suis tombé sur un vieux carnet de recettes. Le genre de cahier écorné, taché de café, qu’on retrouve dans un tiroir de cuisine où personne ne va jamais. Entre une liste de courses et une idée de gâteau jamais réalisée, il y avait cette ligne : “Irish Coffee, faire comme à Foynes.” L’Irish Coffee, à la base, c’est l’histoire d’un hydravion transatlantique qui se fait surprendre par une météo pourrie en 1943. Demi-tour, passagers frigorifi...

Abonne toi 🍷Eng And Fr Description of the Domain in the first comment  .  🇬🇧A laid-back, well-rounded 8-year-old, but with just enough character to make you remember it tomorrow morning . Veuve Goudoulin 8-Year-Old Bas Armagnac @armagnac_goudoulin32 .  👀: A deep amber color. It clings gently to the sides of the glass, as if the spirit is taking its time to reveal itself. A warm, luminous color, an aged gold like a Polaroid photo found in a Gascon attic . 👃: Candied plum, dried apricot, and that deliciously retro touch reminiscent of the soft caramel candies we used to sneak from Grandma's cookie tin . It evolves quickly: a chic woody note, a hint of vanilla, a whisper of blond tobacco suggesting, "Stay a little longer." A touch of polished wood. It sets the mood .  👄: The attack is round, warm, almost cuddly. It has a smooth, enveloping texture, with notes of prune, brown caramel, a touch of spice that tickles the tongue, a hint of nutmeg, and a tou...
