Belle Glos

Las Alturas Vineyard Pinot Noir 2023

Crafted by Joseph J. Wagner, 4th generation winemaker, with winemaking roots in the Napa Valley since 1906. Deep Ruby with red berry fruit aromas, tea and sweet spice notes. On the palate flavors of jammy blackberry and cherry with pronounced sweet vanilla oak, cacao and pepper spice notes. Soft tannins and bright acidity, well balanced, with mineral tones on a long finish ending with toasty spice! Nice! — 9 days ago

Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

What a phenomenal wine. Great color, smooth, full body, tons of flavor. Our favorite wine and at a price point that is affordable for special occasions ($50). Edges out another in this vein, Caterwaul. Cheers — a month ago

Au Bon Climat

Santa Barbara County Pinot Noir 2023

Domaine
Au Bon Climat (Santa Barbara County, Californie)
Présentation
Ce Pinot Noir d'entrée de gamme figure parmi les références incontournables du célèbre ouvrage "Les 1001 vins à boire dans sa vie", témoignant de sa qualité remarquable malgré son positionnement tarifaire accessible.
Examen visuel
Belle robe rubis aux reflets brillants, limpide et d'une intensité moyenne.
Nez
Expressif et séduisant, dominé par un beau fruit frais. Notes de cerise mûre et de fraise des bois se mêlant élégamment à des nuances d'épices douces (cannelle, clou de girofle). Une intrigante touche d'iode apporte une dimension saline et minérale qui complexifie l'ensemble.
Bouche
Attaque franche et fraîche, avec une belle acidité qui structure le vin et lui confère une grande vivacité. Le fruit s'exprime pleinement, particulièrement la cerise qui persiste en milieu de bouche. Tanins fins et soyeux. Finale élégante et savoureuse, d'une longueur moyenne, laissant une impression de fraîcheur.
Conclusion
Un Pinot Noir californien d'une belle fraîcheur et d'un équilibre remarquable, illustrant parfaitement le savoir-faire d'Au Bon Climat. À savourer avec patience compte tenu des droits de douane qui en limitent l'accès.
