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.

Syrah 2019


I’ve been waiting for this Syrah impatiently, since it got bottled in March! I was very enthusiastic on the ‘18 vintage of this relatively new domain, and surely the quality keeps going up. not disappointed by the ‘19, just the opposite!

This is crunchy, elegant, on the fruit, light, aerial.⁣
Light spice and berries like currant and blackcurrant.⁣
Tight enough thanks to a nice acidity backbone and slight salinity. ⁣
We’re very close to North-Rhône but this is definitely more alpine and fresh.

Les Volcans Côtes d'Auvergne Gamay - Pinot Noir

Gamay and Pinot Noir associated for a very successful wine with unexpected length and complexity for the price. it is really a very beautiful success. characteristic taste: wine rather mineral with structure and a slight smoky taste that does not hide the characteristics of the fruit and soil. Breeding and assembly are certainly for something, it is a very nice discovery! a specific wine from France in nuances as I like to taste them. — 5 years ago

There’s something spectacularly funky going on with the nose, campfire smoke and forest floor, very light bodied with cherry, red currants and raspberry. I liked it. — 5 years ago

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.
