COTES DE BOURG<br />
Château les Joncquets<br />
This is one ripper of<br />
an IPA. As the name<br />
suggests it doesn’t mince<br />
its words. It’s bitter sweet<br />
with a great palate and a<br />
semi-crisp finish. Sweet<br />
caramel, orange and<br />
lime is offset with a super<br />
sharp bitterness thanks to<br />
the US west coast hops.<br />
It also packs a nice little<br />
punch with the ABV at<br />
5.9%.<br />
Smooth, rich, maltdriven<br />
beer full with<br />
dark chocolate, subtle<br />
caramel and toffee notes<br />
and an espresso like<br />
bitterness to finish. It won<br />
a gold medal at the 2010<br />
Australian International<br />
Beer Awards, which<br />
underlines its cred. A nice<br />
pairing with a juicy big rib<br />
eye steak.<br />
This wine has a deep<br />
ruby colour with violet<br />
highlights. The nose<br />
lets out a few notes of<br />
red fruits and spices.<br />
Volume in the mouth, soft<br />
tannins, persistent fruity<br />
sensations. This wine<br />
is perfect with both red<br />
and white meats, game<br />
and cheese. 65% Merlot,<br />
30% Cabernet Franc, 5%<br />
Cabernet Sauvignon<br />
This wine reveals a dark<br />
and deep color. The nose<br />
is characterised by subtle<br />
flavours of red fruits. We<br />
find aromas of red fruits<br />
on the palate with silky<br />
tannins. Sensational<br />
with red or white meat,<br />
sausages, game and<br />
cheese. 80% Merlot, 20%<br />
Cabernet et Malbec.<br />
