CLARENDELLE BORDEAUX 2015
Beautiful golden-yellow color with
green highlights. The wine is round,
rich and luscious on the palate. The
bouquet features aromas often found
in sweet white wines, with hints of
apricot, white peaches and grapefruit.
The wine shows great minerality along
with fresh, powerful fruit flavors, as
well as the concentration and structure
of a great white wine. 2015 Clarendelle
ticks all the boxes for a great vintage!
FRATELLI BERLUCCHI BRUT, FRANCIACORTA DOCG
‘25’ is so named after the number of months from the grape to the glass. Made
of 100 percent Chardonnay it has a pale lemon color and a stream of pinpoint
bubbles. It is immediately fresh, lively and appetizing with aromas of apple and
delicate blossom, and a little nutty note adding a hint of vanillin creamy richness.
Bright and most enjoyable in an aperitif or shellfish and seafood dishes.
LA GRANGE DE QUATRE SOUS, CUVÉE GARSINDE 2013
It is a juicy, dense wine that exhales aromas of prunes, blackcurrants and tobacco.
Full in the mouth, it leaves to its final notes of black cherries. It can be kept without hesitation at least 10 years without losing its vivacity. n
