This time at Carré Parisien, tasters came in very smoothly and left as disparately so that no one ever waited to be served. « Sardines squeezed in a can » feeling was far from being the picture: it was a perfect relaxing time.

Fabrice Vinsurvin was also with us. Always keen to drink new wines, he is the one that introduced me to Agape (Côtes de Bordeaux) – a tiny wine production I had tasted and enjoyed during the Tupper Baraou 1.0 a few nights before, a very nice and rare Bordeaux rosé!

Merlots, Cabernet Sauvignon, Semillon, Sauvignon… red, white, rosé, dry or sweet – Everything at the Vicky Bordeaux Tasting was there to charm you – And it did charm a few!

The Merlots de Baudet from Château de la Vieille Chapelle was also on the first stage of the podium. The bottle design is fun and appealing and so is Frederic Mallier’s personality: warm, passionate and down to earth.  The merlot de Baudet wine is perfectly balanced, with nicely integrated French and American oak. A pleasure wine just as I like them. The Grand Blancs is the perfect bottle pairing and is a nice fresh Semillon – At least something different from all the Bordeaux sauvignon blancs family!

The night was not made for sweet wines, but the Château de Cranne was sipped as a desert before going home. Less sweet than a Sauterne, it is also the perfect wine for an aperitif if you have a delicate sweet tooth. 

After 3 glasses and some delicatessen, the happy tasters went home with a few goodies and info on the bordeaux region. It was left there the Bordeaux and You team that stopped by for a glass of their favorite wine regions. Amateurs were also joined by the well known Fabrice Vinsurvin and the So Wine agency, here for their first Vicky Wine Tasting.

Thank you all for dropping by – Welcome back anytime!
