Advice

Tasting
Nolwenn...Alexandra...Two Quiot Daughters whose first names are full of history and legend.Two of heroic and royal destinies.Two destinies filled with passion and ambition.Two assertive destinies in search of independence.From the white angel to that which protects man.
Much more than just a "Cuvée", this wine represents a true story, it is a tribute, rich in meaning and symbology.A little bit of secrecy..a bit of sophistication...Steeped in tradition and in that yet to come.
This is the alchemy of Cuvée Nolandra.
A wine you have to taste to truly understand.

arrived in 1st position among the Châteauneuf-du-Pape - 95 pts
This is a special cuvée made only in 2007, a total of 4 000 bottles blended from the domaine's top vats. A regal red with scents of leather, roses and dried fruit, it tastes of cherries and dried herbs un-derlined with stone. What sets it apart is the acidity, a buzzing energy that travels through the wine from sent through to the memonry of its finish, a promise of a long life ahead. acidity that keeps it shapely and firm.

Une Cuvée d'exception avec une très belle densité, de la pureté et une richesse arômatique qui dévoile un nez de jolis fruits noirs bien mûrs.
La bouche est ample, avec une attaque tendre et une finales de belle persistance, entre fruits noirs et zan.

Une couleur soutenue, attrayante mais surtout un nez abondant ou des aromes de fruits noirs côtoient des effluves de lard fumé et de viande grillée. La bouche charnue dévoile de beaux tannins serrées et virils. Une vin de plaisir !

An impressively endowed effort, it reveals sweet black raspberry and floral notes, a full bodied mouth feel, silky tannins, good freshness, lively acidity, and a long aftertaste.. it should be at its finest in 2-3 years, and drink well for 11-14 years.

Le nez est dominé par les fruits rouges, la réglisse avec une pointe d’épices qui semble monter en puissance. Bien structurée et souple, la bouche s’ouvre sur des tannins soyeux, la finale est longue , très longue

The nose is fruity, gourmand, elegant, captivating and offers a beautiful finesse, a beautiful grain as well as a very fine power and a racy minerality. It reveals notes of crushed cassis, fleshy blueberry and small notes of violet, crushed strawberry associated with touches of vanilla, chocolate, spices as well as discreet hints of liquorice, an imperceptible hint of scrubland (in the background) and gray pepper. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers a good definition, a fine juicy frame, a beautiful finesse / precision, a fine juiciness / freshness, elegance, a very slightly tight grain, complexity as well as fine suavity. On the palate this wine expresses notes of fleshy / juicy blackberry, juicy blueberry and small notes of vanilla, fleshy strawberry associated with small / slight touches of crushed raspberry, crushed cassis as well as fine toasted touches, chocolate, flowers, liquorice and an imperceptible hint of Bourbon vanilla (in the background). Tannins are fine, elegant and very slightly firm. The wine needs to be put in carafe. There is a discreet hint of almond on the aftertaste / persistence. Congratulations !
