French wines to buy in AlbertaHerebelow are French wines that I recommend and where to buy them in Alberta. A retailer that is not listed here can sell the wine ; he/she only has to contact the merchant or the importer. French wine values tasted in 2009
2008 - USD 10 - apple skin, minerally - lichee, fruitgrape, starfruit, not dense, fresh A store in Calgary, Alberta: Bin 905
2008 - USD 13 - full maturity of grapes - lichee - lichee, not onctuous but round, vibrant and fresh A store in Calgary, Alberta: Bin 905
2007 - USD 13 - you should keep and age this wine - closed and then even more vibrant than the 2007 Brégeon, dry, minerally and fresh A store in Calgary, Alberta: Bin 905 French wine values tasted in 2007
2005 - USD 9.3 - bell pepper - green bell pepper, fresh, the incomplete grape maturity is similar to that of the Mouton Cadet 2004 which you will prefer if you need wine to impact your palate A store in Calgary, Alberta: Bin 905
2005 - USD 12 - this wine will only get better, clean as the Briords 2001 tasted at the same age - pear and seashell on the nose - pear, fresh, shows more structure than Cormerais 2003, is not drying as was the same Briords 2005 tasted one year earlier A store in Calgary, Alberta: Bin 905
2003 - USD 12 - this wine is very fine but should benefit from ageing - fruit, delicate toffee - fruit, delicate toffee, fuller than the Briords 2005, a minerally thread, fresh - hasn't really changed from one summer to the next A store in Calgary, Alberta: Bin 905
2005 - USD 15 - drink it often - the nose shows much typical fruit, with citrus - the palate does not show the velvety texture of the Brégeon 2006, aromas are more intense than in the Brégeon 2005, tiny gas beads, light, refreshing A store in Calgary, Alberta: Bin 905 French wine values tasted in 2006
2005 - USD 10 - a superb match to raw oyster shells - an elegant nose of lime, litchi, and peach - velvety, light but very savory, apricot, redcurrant, brine, a vegetable note, no minerality, tiny gas beads, less structured than Brégeon, less lively yet crisp and fresh - less persistence A store in Calgary, Alberta: Bin 905
2005 - USD 11 - grapefruit, fresh - grapefruit, the liveliness is drying the mouth, crunchier than the the 2001 vintage tasted at age 2 - grapefruit A store in Calgary, Alberta: Bin 905
2003 - USD 12 - a weak nose of frozen grapefruit - toffee, intense flavour but light body, fresh - bitter-orange (the balance of fruit and onctuosity is the same as in the 1999 bottling tasted at the same age, the oak treatment is as refined) A store in Calgary, Alberta: Bin 905 French wine values tasted in 2004
2001 - USD 9.3 - the wine is clear and pure, green pepper dominates the flavour - the palate is very slightly offdry, light with a hint of hardness A store in Calgary, Alberta: Bin 905
2000 - USD 11 - no fruit - a weak nose - on the palate: onctuous, tiny beads of gaz on the tongue, hazelnut, fresh but less so that other Muscadets (gained some magnitude since last year) A store in Calgary, Alberta: Bin 905
1999 - USD 11 - a finely balanced winemaking - fruit dominates the nose, with a note of toffee - very intense on the palate, velvety, toffee, grapefruit, fresh, pure A store in Calgary, Alberta: Bin 905
Price figures are only very rough estimates of the US retail tags, at the date of the tasting. Wines are selected on personal criteria.
