Either due to the strong breeze of Châtelaillon-Plage, where I tasted this wine, or as a result of the fact that my son got a small sip before me and left some potato chips flavour on the glass, I had some problems distinguishing the aroma of this Chardonnay. I therefore cannot tell which ones of the typical scents of this well-known grape was predominant: if it was the tropical side of banana, melon, pineapple and guava, the stonefruits côté of peach, nectarine and apricot, or the omnipresent citrus and apple aroma.

Vintage Tunina 2015
On the nose ananas mixed with grapefruit welcomes you, followed by some marzipan. In the mouth well balanced, but less tasty and complex than I expected. On the other side, I find the finish very interesting: at first very discreet, but the flavour soon comes back full of fruit and it last for a long time. Continue reading “Vintage Tunina 2015”
Murailles Brut
On the nose some almonds. That’s pretty much all there is to say about this wine. In the mouth nothing seductive and no aftertaste worth mentioning. Overall, I’m disappointed with this wine produced by Badoux.
Can’t say this wine is bad, but at 22 CHF I find it clearly overpriced. Continue reading “Murailles Brut”
Ferrari Brut
Bread crust, Golden apple and Mineral. Very fresh, both on the nose and in the mouth, where it is dry and savoury, tastes almond and leaves a citrusy aftertaste. Maybe a bit too much acidity for my taste, but overall a pleasant sparkling wine.
This Trento DOC is made entirely with Chardonnay grapes, Continue reading “Ferrari Brut”
Dom Pérignon 2003, 2006 and Rosé 2000
24 December 2017
Elegant and very fine bubbles. A bit simple and light on the nose, but they improve over time.
Every one with his own peculiarities, but all three similar in their freshness and minerality. Crispy on the palate. 2003 with more body than the 2006. All a bit disappointing in the final. Overall I like the Rosé 2000 the best. Continue reading “Dom Pérignon 2003, 2006 and Rosé 2000”
Pommery Brut Royal
17 December 2017
On the nose aroma of pastry, baked apple and almond. The palate is fresh and tastes green apple and pear. Citrus element accompany the foamy texture.
This is a pleasant and balanced wine that sell for a bit less than 40 CHF.
Pommery Brut Royal is made up of Continue reading “Pommery Brut Royal”
