Color : White
Wine estate : Romain Papilloud
Designation : Vétroz (AOC Valais)
Name : Amigne Grand Cru de Vétroz
Country : Switzerland
Vivino : 4/5
Note : Romain Papilloud, self-made-man, became a winemaker in 1979 and owner in 1987. The majority of his vineyard is located in Vétroz (Valais, Switzerland). We will observe on the top of the bottle 1 to 3 bees which represents the sugar content (A bee means 0 to 8 grams).
With a yellow robe, the nose of this amine is rich with flavors of citrus (tangerine) and honey. On the palate, a beautiful structure with apricot flavors and a delicacy in the end.

Continuing my tour of sociando-mallet, straight out of the bottle this was complex but closed down. A few hours later it was aromatic and showed expressive blackcurrant, cherry, green olive, and spice notes, a weighty texture that adds some nice richness but is balanced by plenty of acidity, and resolved soft tannins. Although simple, the pairing was revelatory: with roasted chicken the fresh dark cherry notes became much more intense, focused, and refreshing--enough so that I will purposely repeat this pairing in the future. — 9 years ago

Special bottling from Chateau La Tour Carnet for its 2005 Vintage, dark purple burgundy in color, smell of red fruit, plum, and raspberry. Decanted for two hours before pouring, taste of sour cherry and black berry. Still taste lots of fruit, fine tannin with smooth finish, full body with a medium to long finish. — 11 years ago

Pretty pleased that I pinned this as a merlot dominant 2010 Left Bank Cru Bourgeois, though I guessed La Tour Carnet. A very competently made wine. Lovely, if slightly straight-forward nose of blackcurrent with a touch of soft oak and blackcurrent leaves. Drinking very well right now. — 6 years ago

Vintage 2015 / there is an army of interesting 'petit vins' in France, that makes you happy when you taste them. This sauvignon blanc offers nice citrus smell, impeccable balance with lively acidity. Much better than mediocre Sancerre! We drank it with melon/ham and broadbeans/halibut. It's a terrific impuls for a good mood. — 8 years ago
