🍷Eng And Fr Description of the Domain in the first comment  .  A wine with no added sulfites, a blend of precision and balance . Menetou-Salon red, Cuvée Sur le Fil from Domaine Chavet de la Farge .  Vintage: 2023 .  🍇: Pinot Noir .  👀: In the glass, it's a slightly cloudy, vibrant, almost electric ruby ​​red . 👃: It opens with fresh Morello cherry crushed between your fingers, wild raspberry, and a tangy redcurrant note that immediately awakens the palate. Then come darker, freer aromas: crumpled leaves, damp earth after a storm, a hint of raw beetroot—very much in the style of a well-made Pinot Noir . 👄: A lively, direct, ultra-juicy attack. The fruit arrives unexpectedly. There's crispness, energy, and an acidity that creates a taut thread from start to finish. The tannins? Supple, delicate, almost powdery. And the absence of added sulfites lends a free, almost tactile quality: it pulsates, it breathes, but always with sincerity. The finish ...

🍷Eng And Fr Description of the Domain in the first comment  .  A Côtes de Bourg aged in amphora that exudes freedom and dark fruit. Both earthy and ethereal . Côtes de Bourg Bordeaux red Cuvée Amphore from Château Mercier .  Vintage: 2022 .  🍇: Malbec, Cabernet Franc, Merlot .  👀: In the glass, it's dark yet vibrant. A deep ruby ​​color with violet highlights that catch the light . 👃: Crushed black cherry. Fresh plum. A handful of blackberries still warm from the sun. A hint of damp earth after a storm. A touch of graphite. An almost sanguine sensation. The more the glass opens up, the more captivating it becomes. There's a hint of pit, bitter cocoa, almost black olive . 👄: The attack is fresh. Direct. No heavy, oaky finish. The fruit arrives quickly, juicy, precise, with an acidity that makes you want to come back for more. The texture is magnificent: supple yet taut. The amphora does a fascinating job: it polishes without smoothing. It preser...

Il y a des plats qui ne demandent pas qu’on les analyse. Ils demandent qu’on les attaque. Le steak frites, c’est ça. Une assiette chaude. Le bruit du couteau. Le gras qui claque un peu sur les lèvres. Les frites qui brûlent les doigts parce qu’on est trop impatient pour attendre. Et au milieu de tout ça : le vin. Pas un figurant,non, le vin comme troisième personnage du film. Celui qui fait basculer la scène. Steak Frites : le goût du vrai: Je crois qu’on sous-estimé profondément le steak frites. On le traite comme un plat simple alors qu’il est ultra émotionnel. Le steak frites, c’est des néons de brasserie. C’est des banquettes rouges fatiguées. C’est du poivre sur la table,  c'est un ballon de rouge servi un peu trop frais dans un verre Duralex. C’est Paris à minuit, Bruxelles sous la pluie, Lille après un concert. C’est un plat de travailleurs, d’amants, de gueules de bois élégantes et de discussions qui finissent trop tard. Le steak frites ne ment jamais. Tu peux ...

🍷Eng And Fr Description of the Domain in the first comment  .  This is a Médoc with many years of aging ahead of it, but it already knows how to entertain . Médoc red Cuvée La Tour de By from Château La Tour de By .  Vintage: 2018 .  🍇: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot .  👀: The glass fills with a deep, dense red, almost black at the center. The legs are slow and thick, already hinting at what's to come . 👃: On the nose… oh my god, the nose. It starts off with ripe blackcurrant, black cherry, and blackberry crushed between your fingers. Then come the darker notes: cedar, blond tobacco, slightly aged leather, cigar box. And behind all that, something almost wild. As if a black fruit jam had hitched a ride with a sprig of thyme and an old prune in Armagnac . 👄: On the palate, the attack is crisp, direct, almost military… then it relaxes. The wine expands without becoming heavy. The tannins are present but polished, like elegant bouncers. B...

🍷Eng And Fr Description of the Domain in the first comment  .  Clearly, this is the kind of bottle that won't last long . Côtes de Gascogne white wine, Cuvée La Rencontre .  Vintage: 2024 .  🍇: Sauvignon Blanc, Gros Manseng .  👀: In the glass, a pale yellow, brilliant color with almost silvery highlights . 👃: Wow… it hits you right away. A shot of citrus, lemon, fresh, vibrant grapefruit. But then it rounds out with the Gros Manseng adding a more indulgent touch: white peach, a bit of pineapple, and even a hint of tangy candy that puts a smile on your face . 👄: The attack? Bold. The Sauvignon Blanc arrives with its crisp, almost electric freshness. Then the Gros Manseng smooths everything out, adding richness and comfort, like a soft cushion after a slightly rough jump. It's incredibly balanced: lively, with a touch of fruity indulgence, and a tension that makes you want another glass. The finish is clean and crisp, with a pleasant hint of bitt...

🍷Eng And Fr Description of the Domain in the first comment  .  A southern red bursting with fruit and spice . Vinsobres red Cuvée Référence from Domaine Jaume .  Vintage: 2021 .  🍇: Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre .  👀: In the glass, it's dark yet vibrant. Deep red, almost black at the rim . 👃: First impression: ripe black fruits, blackberry, blackcurrant, plum. Then it gently evolves. A peppery touch (thanks to the Syrah), a hint of garrigue that instantly transports you to the south, like sun-baked thyme and hot pebbles. And behind it… something darker, almost animalistic, a light leather, like a jacket you might have worn to an AC/DC concert in 1987. It smells of life, basically . 👄: A direct, straightforward attack. It bursts with fruit, it unfolds with substance. The tannins are there. Grenache for lusciousness, Syrah for punch, Mourvèdre for a touch of shadow. The trio works like an old rock band: each has its role, but together it grooves. Th...
