Wine BTG One Liners Flashcards
1
Q
Les Têtes ‘Igny Ruse’
A
- Energetic and fun with easy bubbles.
- A true pét-nat that shows more refreshing flavors than you’d expect from these full-bodied grapes.
2
Q
Gaspard ‘Bulles’
A
- Soft and easy red fruit with a peppery bite.
- An unfussy aperitif made in the Champagne/traditional method
3
Q
Hervé Villemade Sauvignon
A
- Light, dry, refreshing.
- Citrus-forward take on Touraine Sauvignon with a touch of peach and nectarine for good measure.
4
Q
Ferme de Jeanne Chardonnay
A
- Textured and tart, with lots of lactic fruit and citrus.
- Don’t be afraid of Chardo! This is cold-climate juice with awesome minerality and freshness.
5
Q
Philippe Pibarot ‘Cante Renard’
A
- Mediterranean, fruity, and complex. A little adventurous but with very clean southern stonefruit flavors.
- Deceivingly easygoing—there’s a lot lurking underneath!
6
Q
Christophe Lindenlaub ‘Matin Fou’
A
- Tart, citrus-driven, spritzy and fun.
- Sylvaner has almost no color in the skins so even though this might not look like it, it is indeed an orange wine.
7
Q
Taillandier x Famille du Vin Can
A
- Juicy tree fruits with a dose of tropical flowers
- Killer, especially for a can. Cans are a massively more sustainable option for wine packaging than glass bottles.
8
Q
Domaine du Possible ‘Tout Bu’
A
- Light bodied, with tart red & black fruits and a wisp of earth and smoke.
- Chilled red with the savoriness to work with steak.
9
Q
Bernard Vallette Beaujolais-Villages
A
- Light-medium body with intense red clay minerality and tart dark berries.
- No sulfur added, made in cement and fiberglass.
10
Q
Combel-la-Serre Cahors ‘Pur Fruit de Causse’
A
- Savory, dry, and dark-fruited, but with a touch of lively juiciness.
- Cahors is near Bordeaux and is one of the most traditional areas in France for Malbec
11
Q
Hervé Villemade Rosé
A
- Dry and easy, with good acidity and a touch of fruit.
- A good dose of pepperiness from the Loire’s idiosyncratic ancient grape, Pineau d’Aunis.
