Breezy meaty hibiscus smell, with some rose as well, a flat purple color that is pretty thick but not inky, taste is woody and the fruit has sugar but is kind of falling into the woodiness of it, tannins are quite heavy and sits atop the acids that are quite present as well, the fruit is blackberry, blueberry and slight boysenberry. Taste sits but then fades at a medium rate — 7 years ago

This wine is outstanding! Amazing. Upon opening it was very floral, magnolia and rose, into a dried herbaceous dill, thyme, roasted green pepper and lemon pepper and citrus rind. On the palate, chewy tannin and alive with spritely acidity. Robust yet elegant. Reminds me muchly of what I've heard of Beautious haut medoc. With salt it softens to vanilla...with brine by turns leathery and with protein doth bring out the rusticality. So inspiring — 8 years ago

Belle surprise avec un beau nez
de litchi et rose, la bouche sur le même registre. Un joli vin sur le fruit exotique avec une sucrosité qui te tapisse le palais avec fraîcheur. Et le litchi presque
envoûtant. Un moelleux un peu convenu mais très bon — 10 years ago

Still deep raspberry colour, though thinning towards the rim of the glass. Absolutely unmistakeable Bordeaux nose - rose petal, cedar box, leather, baking spice. Delicious fruit. Tannin well resolved. Drink now. — 11 years ago

Subtle, attractive with layered red berry fruit, touch of five spice and rose petal, sweet tobacco, touch of graphite, feminine, attractive. Lacks on the palate though, drinkable but lacking the definition that you get on the nose, finish does have some elegant red fruit but still too drying to make this really shine. — 12 years ago

Why is everyone sad that Copain sold to KJ? I predict that the prices will be better and the quality will be more consistent. Don't make me remind you of the 2015 rose which was completely reductive to the point that I had to send cases back to the distributor. It didn't even blow off after 2 days! Anyways, this is a good bottle. When these are too young, they taste like warhead candy, but with just a few years on them, they taste like perfect black berries that just now became ripe. Also, Ray blind tasted me on this and I called it down to the producer. — 10 years ago

Pink Bulles Rosé 2013 - Jean Maupertuis.

Alors que nous préparons doucement notre "top 15 des meilleurs vins en 2014", il nous semble impossible de ne pas évoquer le fabuleux Pink Bulles rosé de Jean Maupertuis.

C'est dément ce que l'on peut faire avec du Gamay et c'est Gamay de faire des trucs aussi déments ! Et c'est aussi dingue de constater le nombre de gens talentueux que l'on trouve en Auvergne : Hervé Souhaut : Saint-Épine, Destezet - Nicolas Carmarans : Selves, Mauvais Temps - Frédéric Gounan, Pierre Beauger, François Dhumes, etc.

Oui, Jean Maupertuis fait partie de ces vignerons qui faisaient autre chose dans une autre vie et puis il y a des rencontres qu'on n'oublie pas, comme celles avec Marcel Lapierre et Pierre Overnoy, lors de sa formation viti-œno. Ces fameuses rencontres qui font basculer un destin d'un état solide à celui de liquide. Du travail au plaisir.

Dans un superbe article de Libération, qui lui est consacré, on peut lire ceci : "Robe rose pâle, bulles très fines, nerveuses. Arômes de fruit délicats, pointe de sucre résiduel équilibrée d’une très belle acidité. Ce vin pétillant abordable, «Pink Bulles», tenait haut la dragée au champagne réputé". Et vous savez quoi ? C'est exactement ça !

Sauf que, ce qui n'est pas dit, c'est que ce vin enchanteur est léger et subtil. Un pétillant qui marie les attentes et les exigences que l'on peut avoir pour un excellent champagne, tout en y apportant une fraicheur et une jeunesse que celui-ci possède rarement. Mais, c'est de l'insolence ? Oui, tout à fait mais surtout un peu de folie avec beaucoup de maîtrise. C'est vrai, souvent, les pétillants natures sont fous mais peu peuvent revendiquer le fait d'être aussi raffinés que celui de Jean Maupertuis.

A 12 euros, vous tenez peut-être ici la clé du bonheur, ou en tout cas, la clé d'un bon moment entre amis autour d'une boisson enthousiasmante. Il ne reste plus qu'à trouver la cachette, bon courage (!) et bonne dégustation ;)

Never disappoints! The 66 is hitting on all cylinders showing no signs of slowing down with perfumed aromatics of black & red fruits, cassis, cedar, leather, smoke, cigar box, soy , black olive, licorice & rose petal. — 8 years ago

We are together again sharing the 2009 Château La Tour Carnet on this Sunday night. A beautifully blended Bordeaux 62% Merlot, 33% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Petit Verdot and 2% Cabernet Franc.

On the nose there is black and red fruit, blackberry, black cherry, raspberry, black currant, chocolate, licorice, rose petal, graphite and earth.

The palate reveals wonderfully full dark fruit, blackberry, black cherry, raspberry, black currant, green bell pepper, mint, graphite and a mellow toasted vanilla.

This enjoyable medium to full bodied wine is smooth with a velvety mouth feel, a medium + acidity and medium + rounded tannins that lead to a long gratifying finish. What a way to start the new week with a gorgeous 2009 vintage wine from Bordeaux. This vintage continues to rock. And the wine is highly accessible now but can be cellared for another 5-8 years. Have a great coming week and please be safe. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷 — 8 years ago

What a beautiful nose! Beautiful sweet cherry, white chocolate with eucalyptus and rose petal, gravel, and a touch of pencil lead with an underlying aroma of sweet cream (like the cream in stuffed French toast). Flavorful and expansive with ripe plum and sweet mouth-coating tannins. Lovely Pauillac. — 12 years ago
