It’s Friday and I have three great French Wines to taste tonight!\u00a0 Hope you can make it in!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Tasting<\/a><\/p>\n

Clos Le Vigneau Vouvray ($23.99) – <\/b>“The 2011 Clos Le Vigneau, from a more challenging vintage, is just as good. Aromatics of spring flowers, poached pears, honeyed melon and some buttered citrus jump from the glass of this medium-bodied, very pure, fresh and nicely concentrated wine, which is the epitome of a dry Chenin Blanc meant to go with a cornucopia of cuisines.” – Wine Advocate 91 pts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Chapoutier Belleruche Rose ($18.99)<\/b> – Belleruche Rose’s color is a light pink with salmon-pink highlights. This wine has aromas of red fruits, currant, raspberry and cherry. On the palate, the freshness is well-balanced and round.\u00a0 Mainly Grenache, then Cinsault and Syrah. The vineyards of \u201cBelleruche\u201d ros\u00e9 are located on old fluvioglacial terraces, on the right bank of the Rh\u00f4ne.<\/span><\/p>\n

Chateau De Malleret Haut-Medoc Bordeaux 2004 ($49.99)<\/b> – I have had the 2003 & 2005.\u00a0 Both were great!\u00a0 Let’s see if the 2004 is as good.\u00a0 Garnet shade with rusty red hue. Earthy with overtones of leather & musk. Predominant aromas of ripe dark cherries & spicy French oak. Medium body, slightly high on acidity. Soft & smooth on the palate, with mellow tannin. Seamless transition, culminating in a spicy, soft & lingering medium length finish.<\/span><\/p>\n
