Bordeaux tour #2: Well balanced. Nothing crazy. Just a nice Bordeaux. Definitely worth buying again. — 5 years ago
Lots of menthol and pencil lead. Firm texture, low tannins. — 6 years ago
Wanted a young Bordeaux for sous vide lamb shoulder and this hit the spot. Great pairing and glad that Jill used this in the recipe as well. — 7 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. — 7 years ago
Profond, juste ce qui faut de longueur en bouche mais pas trop pour apprécier la nourriture et enchainer d'autres plats et d'autres vins.

28 years and still fruity and tasty (« not a wrinkle » as we say in France). — 6 years ago
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.

Romain Papilloud, autodidacte, devient vigneron en 1979 et propriétaire en 1987. La majorité de son vignoble est situé à Vétroz (Valais, Suisse). On observera sur le haut de la bouteille 1 à 3 abeilles qui représente la teneur en sucre (Une abeille signifie 0 à 8 grammes).
Avec une robe jaune, le nez de cette amigne est riche avec des saveurs d’agrumes (mandarine) et de miel. En bouche, une belle structure avec des saveurs d’abricot et une gourmandise en final.
