Two superb French red wines
If you have two really stunning French red wines to share with you today, by the way, I'd like to point out that I probably taste 25 on average 25 wines for every one wine that I share with you here. It's not like I just publish a podcast about every single wine I taste, because I taste a lot of wine, a lot of it really disappointing, a lot of it kind of average, a lot of it okay, a lot of it good, but I only share the wine so I don't think of special. But I attended, last week I attended of what I call a cow, a coal wine tasting. I went because a friend of mine was pouring some of the wines, it's about the fact that I usually don't go to a fence like that, but I'm glad I went because I tasted two really fantastic wines. One was a sheenone, it's a Bodri de Tour, sheenone Amaran, 2022, or sheenone's village in the War Valley where the great, this is Cabernet fault, it's pretty produced red wines and brosés from Cabernet fault, this wine, you know, I always kind of know Cabernet fault because it has, for me it has blue fruits like blueberries and mulberries and then it has a pronounced minerality which always has and a little bit of herbaceousness. This is a really excellent example at a very affordable price, it's medium-bodied, it's dry, as I said it has those black blue fruit-fried character and the herbaceousness from the Cabernet Franc, it's got a nice finish, and it's very affordable, it should retail for about $16, you can find it around, it's a worth of wine worth searching for, it's, you know, it's something a little different, it's not the same old thing, you know, it's not Cabernet, something else, not Pinot Noir, it's not Barlow, it's 100% Cabernet Franc which is, you know, it's kind of the only place where a hundred percent Cabernet Franc is common. Anyway, it's for searching out, you'll love it, it would be great with bros stuck with, you know, some kind of fruit sauce like blueberries or raspberries or something like that, it'd be really, really good, breast, duck, so tight, kind of medium rare with, with a blueberry sauce, since mine would be fantastic with it. You can call it our tenion and get a migrate duck breast to make it, you'll be happy, it's terrific wine, it could be a great, great, great wine pairing, that, and the other wine that I tasted that was really fabulous, is, um, uh, Jean-Mart Borgo, it's more gold, coat to pee, 2022, also 2022, guys like me really love free bojolei, um, they tend to get, um, tender, appreciated because of the ubiquitousness of wines like Chino Bojolei village and any, uh, Bojolei nouveau you want to mention, which detract from the general reputation of, or recognition of wines from Bojolei, uh, the ten villages in Bojolei that are allowed to call their wines by the name of village, what I call through Bojoleis, um, uh, Morgo and as one of those, we're going to have about ten to be the most full-bodied, uh, uh, uh, free bojoleis, and they age, one of the things that I like about them is they age very well. Um, I've tasted, uh, 20, 25-year-old, 30-year-old, uh, free bojoleis that were still, just, still, and strong. Uh, this wine is very young, it needs to be, to show it's stuff, it needs some time, I would say maybe five years to, to really be its best. Um, it's, again, the medium body minus dry, uh, it's gamma, it's gamma grape, so it's about the life of red fruits and raspberries and strawberries, and then there's this really pronounced minerality, the, the granitic character that comes through from the granite, granitic soil in, uh, in, in Bojolei, which is why they grow gammas, instead of being alarmed, it's the soil's defense, not limestone, like, where the north in Bojolei, um, in some ways, uh, Bojoleis is almost more similar to the northern known than it is to the rest of Bojolei. Um, what, the other thing about fruit bojoleis, they way over deliver at their price point, um, um, um, you know, this wine probably, you know, five, five, I find it retailing for about 30 dollars in equivalent quality wine from the company, uh, would be, you know, 300 bucks, probably, um, made in three smaller quantities, but it, this is, it's, it's, it's a superb, superb wine, um, Borgo, Morgantel, it's always superb, seems like, uh, I'm sure that's not the case, but I think every, every Morgantel from this wine ring that I've ever tasted has been, uh, spectruming. So anyway, that's another wine to look for, uh, two really, really fantastic French red wines, um, that, you know, again, aren't burned into or bored out, they're more kind of more unusual and interesting than that, and, uh, they're worth searching out because they really, really deliver at their price point. Thank you for tuning in for adventures of the Michael Solier, as always, we really appreciate your time and attention.
