A very different proposal of red blend from Switzerland containing Pinot Noir, Syrah, Humagne Rouge, Diolinoir and Gamaret... a generous taste not complex, not fruity but a kind woody. Humble tones! — 6 years ago

Very good wine for the money. Very good! From IGA, good surprise. — 8 years ago

Last week was a combo of 4th Friday and Open That Bottle Night on back to back nights. Needless to say, the lineup between both days was full of heavy hitters, so I’m only posting standout bottles.
A really nice Rhône white courtesy of the tandem François Villard and @Donald Patz . Floral notes of honeysuckle, lemon, sea salt and soft pineapple. Waxy profile that I tend to get with these Rhône whites, showing thyme, hint of orange blossom and honeyed stone fruits. — 5 years ago
Color : White
Wine estate : Louis Bovard
Designation : Lavaux
Name : Salix - Chenin Blanc
Country : Switzerland
Vivino : 4.5/5
Note : Louis Bovard makes bio-dynamic culture and has introduced in the Lavaux new grape varieties such as Chenin Blanc. The name of Salix comes from the Latin word meaning the willow, with which one braided the branches to make baskets of vintage. A golden yellow straw robe with a nose of citrus, pineapple and mineral. Once in the mouth, the explosion of flavor with a nice acidity and a taste of citrus and apple. The final is excellent, it remains in the mouth and perfectly accompanied a fish.

Louis Bovard fait de la culture bio-dynamique et a introduit dans le Lavaux des nouveaux cépages comme ce Chenin Blanc. Le nom de Salix vient du terme latin signifiant le saule, avec lequel on tressait les branches pour faire des paniers de vendange. Une robe dorée jaune paille avec un nez d’agrumes, ananas et minéral. Une fois en bouche, l’explosion de saveur avec une belle acidité et un goût d’agrumes et de pomme. Le final est excellent, il reste bien en bouche et accompagné parfaitement un poisson.

Number One wine of a five wine blind tasting with 5 different grape varieties.
What a beautiful wine. The nose is complex, elegant with violets, white pepper and some animal and slightly meaty scent. The wine is gorgeous, powerful, complex, dark fruit that is lush and velvety silky tannins on a tremendous finish. 93-94
Premier vin facilement lors d’une dégustation à l’aveugle de cinq cépages à la maison.
Un nez complexe et magnifique de violettes, poivre blanc, touche animale et viandeuse. Une bouche complexe aussi mais tellement avenante, puissante mais gourmande et généreuse avec une superbe texture, belle longue finale. 93-94 — 5 years ago
