LeDomduVin: Champagne Dom Perignon Rose Oenotheque1992




Champagne Dom Perignon Rose Oenotheque1992 




This past weekend, I had the chance to taste this beautiful champagne rose from a magnum bottle for the first time. 

It was exciting and surprising as I don't get to try Dom Perignon Oenotheque very often, especially from the 90s and, more significantly, Rose. 

I did not really know what to expect, so it was like venturing into new ground. 

In the glass, it displayed a strange color that is difficult to describe: something between a pale yet bright "rose-bonbon" and "pinkish-orange salmon". 

Despite its age, the nose was relatively young, fresh, and incentive, boasting red berries and strawberry aromas mingling with earthy and yeasty notes. 

The palate was pleasant, rather elegant, quite rich, and surprisingly dry due to a good amount of acidity. There were still some fine bubbles. The lingering finish is also agreeable. 

Is it the best rose from Dom Perignon Oenotheque I have ever tried? I cannot compare, unfortunately. 

Overall, it was a pleasurable experience. I think the magnum size and good storage condition ensured that it retained its freshness and taste. 

It would be interesting to taste a regular bottle to see if it tastes fresh or shows signs of aging. 

Please let me know if you have ever tasted this champagne and your impression in the comments. 

Cheers! Santé!

LeDomduVin: Chateau Bertinerie Des-Lyres de Bertinerie Rosé 2020 "Special Vaccin"





Chateau Bertinerie Des-Lyres de Bertinerie Rosé 2020 "Special Vaccin"



Love this label 😉😁🤣🤣🤣

First, it is fun and unconventional, a delight for the reader, and the producer must have had a blast creating it.

Second, "Des-Lyres" is a play-on-words that combines the French term “Lyres” (for "Lyra" - a type of vine training system) with the word “Délire” (for "Delirium” used in a more light-hearted and humorous sense, like "having fun”).

Third, it has been labeled “Anti-Vaccin” (for “Anti-Vaccine”) as it is 2020 vintage, the year the entire world stopped due to the COVID-19 pandemic. And thus, this wine was specifically crafted to be used as an anti-aging, anti-dote, anti-stress, anti-virus, anti-body (anti-corps), anti-morosity (anti-morosité), anti-depressant (anti-dépresseur), which I find inspiring, smart, witty, and funny. Well done by the Bantagnies family.

The Vignoble Bertinerie has been owned and operated by the same family for five generations. Today, it is managed by Eric and Frantz Bantagnies. The vineyard is under sustainable agriculture and is certified High Environmental Value (HVE). It is the largest vineyard in France under the "Lyre" vine training system, which produces fuller and smoother wines.

This Rosé comes from the young vines in the “Blaye Cotes de Bordeaux” AOC but has been voluntarily declared VDF (Vin de France). A blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot (for 2020), it is vinified like a Provence, meaning from direct pressing.

The color is usually tinted with an elegant pale pink. The nose is ordinarily fresh and lively with stone fruit aromas. The palate usually displays beautiful minerality, chewable texture, good intensity, and length.

This bottle of wine was brought from France by my friends (Gaby & Loulou) who supply wine and know the Chateau Bertinerie family. Unfortunately, it did not travel well to Hong Kong and tasted old and oxidized. The unusual golden-orange color in the picture says it all. It's a 2020 rosé, only four years old, but not all rosés are meant to age or travel well. 😉

LeDomduVin: un froid de canard...




Un froid de canard...



Confit de canard et Tartiflette ce soir, et ce ne sont pas des rumeurs 😁👍🍷

Le temps est tellement pourri ce week-end, ici à Hong Kong, qu'on aurait l'impression d'être encore en Hiver (en ce 1er Mai): gris, humide, pluvieux, triste, froid et venteux.... 

Voilà une bonne excuse pour faire un bon dernier plat d'hiver. 😁😋😋😋😋

Les rumeurs ne sont jamais bonnes, mais celles de L'Escarelle ne sont pas mauvaises du tout... et ne devrait pas être mauvais sur les cuisses de canard 😁👍🍷

L'Escarelle "Rumeurs" Méditerranée IGP 2020 

Cheers! Santé!

LeDomduVin: Rosé mood...





Rosé mood...


It is spring, and yet, another weekend with crappy weather, here in Hong Kong: grey, sad, humid, windy... 

I needed some colors and warmth, so I decided to buy some Rosé wines to brighten the mood. 

The #rosealltheway case (by "Vines and Terroirs") has a nice selection of easy drinking and quaffable Rosés:

- Château d'Astros "Amour" Côtes de Provence AOP 2020

- L'Escarelle "Rumeurs" Méditerranée IGP 2020 

- "The Lunar Collection - Harvested at Moon"  by Château d'Astros Maures IGP 2020

- "Minuit Rosé" Vendanges Noctures by Château d'Astros Côtes de Provence AOP 2020

- Château des Marres "2S" par Gartich/Benet Côtes de Provence AOP 2020

- Le Cellier de l'Amitié "Les Cavistes" Méditerranée IGP 2020








And the "Brin de Lavande" is nice too, bringing a touch of Provence into the house. 

Thank you @valentinmaurel #charlessoulisseplou @vinesandterroirs and @winest.hk for combining your skills and experience: good quality wines, great prices, and fast delivery in less than 1 hour. Looooooooooove it. 

Cheers! Santé!
