Côtes D'auvergne, Midi
Domaine la Bohème
Sein Pour Sein Pinot Noir 2018
So far all Bouju wines I tasted are powerful, overly young and not simple (in variety of meanings). This one is no exception. Ripe cherry, dark cherry, earthy hints, chocolate powder, white pepper, banana. All this leads me to Morgon or some neighbouring appellation, but nope! Tannic, astringent palate with highly volatile finish backed by black cherry. Definitely interesting and sophisticated wine. But so damn young! Decant unless you want to be washed away by a wave of hair spray! Then it becomes beautiful, by gaining medicinal herbs notes in the nose and cherry-vanilla-VA-chocolate flavours. Giving extra 1 for no apparent reason.

Entre Nous Châteaugay-Côtes d'Auvergne Gamay Pinot Noir 2017
Gamay / Pinot Noir Blend - Light, fruity, and fresh; with a nice salivating acidity. Aperitif wine, also on dishes usually dedicated to white wine (fish). Raised on volcanic soils, the tannins are fuller than usual on this type of blend.
Assemblage Gamay/pinot Noir- Léger, fruité, et frais; avec une belle acidité salivante. Vin d’apéro, également sur des plats habituellement dédiés au vin blanc (poisson). Élevé sur des sols volcaniques, les tanins sont plus charnus qu’à l’habitude sur ce type d’assemblage. — 5 years ago

On the nose: berries and bruised apple. Cinnamon. Bitter chocolate, ripe cherry. Mouthfeel: remarkable balance. Medium body (I’d even go medium-) with great structure. Hit with raspberry but rest of the fruit follows. Tannin level is perfect to round off a great sip. Good on its own or paired with red meats and light sauces. Also great with chocolate desserts. Great vintage. Wow! — a year ago
