Château du Glana, Saint-Julien, 2018
Еhe Saint Julien from the pen of Château du Glana from Bordeaux offers a bright purple color in the swirled glass. At the edge also shows a color transition to garnet red. The first nose of Saint Julien shows of blackberries, black currants and blueberries. The fruity hints of the bouquet are joined by cinnamon, black tea and gingerbread spice.
This wine delights with its elegantly dry flavor. It was bottled with exceptionally low residual sugar. This is a true quality wine, which clearly stands out from simpler qualities and so this Frenchman naturally enchants with the finest balance despite all dryness. Taste does not necessarily need sugar. On the tongue, this balanced red wine is characterized by an incredibly dense texture. In the finish, this well storable red wine from the wine-growing region of Bordeaux finally inspires with considerable length. There are again hints of black currant and blueberry.
Domaine Bersan, Bourgogne Aligote, Chablisien 2022
Bourgogne Aligoté is a white wine, full of freshness, like the spring breeze. Good-natured, a little impertinent, fruity, he dresses in pale gold. Its bouquet is floral (acacia, hawthorn) or fruity (apple). On the palate, this tender and smooth wine soothes the taste buds with nutty notes that appear in the finish.
Domaine Bersan, Chablis “Les Ouches”, Chablisien, 2022
Domaine Bersan, Saint-Bris ‘Mont Embrase’, Chablisien
Coming from a limestone terroir, Mont Embrasé is a signature of Jean-Louis and Jean-Christophe Bersan. Their estate, in conversion to organic farming since its creation in 2009, knows how to highlight its roots. Sauvignon finds its place in this elegant cuvée with a slightly vanilla nose. The palate is warm with its fruitiness of yellow apple. A complex wine, to accompany Asian cuisine from now on.
Domaine Rijckaert, Haute Cuvée Mâcon Fuissé, Maconnais 2021
Jean Rijckaert's approach is simple: he wants to make wines that he likes without succumbing to fashions or the wishes of customers. Similarly, he refuses to make his wines competition beasts: his bottles are there to be drunk and not exhibited.
On the winemaking side, we can note that in this Chardonnay enthusiast, fermentations are done without the addition of yeast, that there can be a slight correction of the alcoholic strength, that sulphites are added as needed and that finally, filtration is not systematically rejected. Fermentation and aging take place in oak barrels, with always a small proportion of new ones .
Domaine Rijckaert, Pouilly Fuissé Haute Cuvee, Maconnais 2022

A blend from vineyards in relatively cool areas (facing west), this Pouilly-Fuissé has a generous heart in an elegant body. Limestone soils on more or less stony slopes.
