Tasting note Joseph Drouhin Beaujolais Nouveau 2020

Tasting note🇺🇸 / Note de dégustation🇫🇷

Did you know Beaujolais Nouveau wines are generally bottled 3-5 days after the end of fermentation?
This way they’re released from the 3rd Thursday of November.

It’s said that the 2020 vintage was great…
Let’s see this with my tasting note of Joseph Drouhin’s Beaujolais Nouveau!

Tasting note Domaine Le Van Secret de Juliette 2016 (Vin de Pays du Vaucluse)

Tasting note🇺🇸 / Note de dégustation🇫🇷

Do you know the appellation Vin de Pays du Vaucluse?
This appellation accounts for a small part of French wine production and is generally of a lower quality than IGPs and AOPs.
Today it includes more and more higher quality wines made outside of IGP and AOP regulations.

This Domaine Le Van Secret de Juliette 2016 is a great example.
Let’s have a taste!

Discover Jura wine: in-between adventure and food

Available in English🇺🇸 + French🇫🇷!

I had only heard a little bit about Jura wines… As it is a very small region that represents only 0.2% of France’s total wine production, it is probably normal. However, it has not always been the case. Jura used to be around ten times its current size, but a series of setbacks decreased its presence from 1850. So, let’s discover Jura wine together!

Let’s wander together in wonderful Burgundy: Domaine Heitz-Lochardet!

Available in English🇺🇸 + French🇫🇷!

I wanted to pay Armand Heitz a visit. I really wanted it. Of course I can prove it: back on July 29 I took a 7-hour-long train ride to visit the estate. And do nothing else… I visited the lovely vineyards, tasted the wines and went right back home for another 7-hour-long train ride. Another epic wine trip in Burgundy!

You’re probably thinking I’m crazy. Well maybe I am… But I love Bourgogne and getting to visit another of its wonderful estates was worth it. Domaine Heitz-Lochardet was worth it!
