News from 16/11/2011

During the course of 2011 the wine tasting committee of the renowned French wine magazine, La Revue du Vin de France,  has tasted thousands of wines.  In the latest issue they have selected the 450 best bottles of the year, and we congratulate our partner, Château de la Bonnelière, for being included not just once, but twice!

The 2009 vintage of the Château de la Bonnelière Chinon received a rating of 15.5/20 and the following comments; “A perfectly mastered harvest which releases a fine juice, long on the finish, fresh, dynamic and mature.  A good and regular organic winery.” A nice review for the wine chosen for the Gourmet Odyssey Wine Experience clients at Château de la Bonnelière!

The second distinction was awarded to Château de la Bonnelière’s “La Chapelle” 2009.  Rated 16/20, the review goes on to say, “we love the finesse of the fruit and the softness of the tannins. A great Chinon to savour.”

Congratulations to our partner winery for this well deserved praise.
