Here are 2 wines which caught my attention, the one red and purist, the other white and modern, both are excellent!

Clos Rougeard (Foucault) « Les Poyeux »

AOC Saumur Champigny (Loire)
Millésime 2007 – 100% cabernet franc (élevage en fûts de 24 mois)

« Wine4Melomanes » wine and music pairing :
Nostalgia 77 Octet « Musical silt » 2007

Our glance is captivated by the shinny dark garnet robe granted by the piano jazz gimmick with medium sounds.

The nose of blackberry and raspberry in a tiny box of violets and iris, with subtle aromas of freshly cut grass, echoed the glittering and progressive brass section.

Gustatory delight on a rich and extensive slightly underpinned where the vivacity of the juicy fruit, includes us the palate, allying with the latin percussions conducted by the flight of the tenor saxophone solo. The length in the mouth spicy flavours (gingerbread, white pepper) accompanied by the brilliant glow of cymbals and tambourine.

Straight wine of character balanced fine tannins and acidity with a mineral point reflecting the terroir to the limestone soil (micaceous chalk): it is therefore in harmony with dignity with this singular refined composition reflecting the work of the winegrower.

Gérard Bertrand « Cigalus »

VDP d’Oc (Languedoc)
Millésime 2011
80% chardonnay, 15% sauvignon, 5% viognier (biodynamie)

« Wine4Melomanes » wine and music pairing :
Aaron Jerome « Dancin’ girl» featuring Mozez – 2011

The delicious guitar accompanied by the pleasant and poetic voice makes mirror with the golden, glittering and crystal clear yellow color of this unusual wine of part its assembly.

Our nose was embalmed by the oscillating intense and complex bouquet between grapefruit, white peach blackberry, honey and dried fruit arouses us the touch of the keyboard Rhodes in the rounded off tones coupled with the pinches of acoustic ropes.

The silky and ample mouth accelerates our gustative sensations just like the progress of the piece put rhythm by the singing making drunk with happiness. The close toasted and buttered notes of vanilla in the flavors of exotic fruits rest the elegance of the orchestration between soul and jazz.

This harmonious surprise of freshness in the big liveliness lets us appreciate its length in mouth so decorating with magnificence the musicality of the composition.
