Ô JOIE! The wine is in the can!

I've blended the 2019 vintage for a wine dedicated to immediate pleasure. Opened in 1 second, I like it poured in a glass, slightly chill. It helps the wine opening up after it's been confine with no oxygen in the can. In the can, the wine is protected from external agressions thanks to a special cover that separate it from aluminum. The wine barely evolves,...

#Harvest2018, Chateau de Moriers Fleurie in the sunshine

Spring was humid allowing sufficient water reserve to prepare to the grand summer we had. Great for grapes and for swimming, not so amazing for our...
