2005 Cheverny - Cuvee des Qautorze Coins

Christian Tessier et Fils Cheverny “Cuvee des Quatorze Coins” … again, the French and their very long label names. I’m not even going to try pronouncing this one. However, I’ll be happy to drink a couple of glasses on a regular basis!

This Highland Wine Club offering was a pure delight! Absolute bliss! And no wonder – from the Christian Tessier & Sons website, it’s a blend of Pinot Noir and Gamay, two of my favorite fruity yet mellow grapes! This wine really fit the bill – really mellow but with a few smooth tannins to round it out. This one’s a keeper!
