The latest favorite is underway. Those that seem most interesting: Leclerc and SuperU. While in Auvergne, this weekend, I am surprised by the efforts of supermarkets to make wines under the best conditions. In
Leclerc Aubière: virtually all vintages of Yquem since 1920 and a cellar of 20 sq.m. air-conditioned or you find all the greatest wines (Bordeaux, at least) at rates that I found correct. In
SuperU Vic-le-Comte rates less interesting but a beautiful air-conditioned cellar with a wide selection for the surface of the store.
You add in these places, a wine enthusiast and wine merchants can traditional shake.
Incidentally, I take 3 bottles of Beychevelle 2007 to 30.50 €. Patience until 2017 at least ... And I add two magnums (Haut-Medoc and Graves) in my cart. I miss a few bottles in the cellar in this format so friendly!

We taste this wine with a rouelle barbecued pork with which it blends very well. After lunch, I use a glass to this post.
The dress is beautiful, clean, very red but not dark nor purple.
The nose is of great strength. Smells of raspberry and livestock who betray that wine is only 4 years. It is fruity, complex and typical (local?) I think.
palate, the attack is mild. The wine does not deliver right away, but shows an invigorating freshness. Then come: notes of fruit, game and aromas empireumatiques left by 4 years of barrel aging. Wood does not take over.
After cooling, I can not find the peppery finish noticeable departure.
Good acidity and good length supported by tannins that give a slight bitterness lingering in the groove. All this takes place with the retro-olfaction. It's class. I waited a few years, however, that the notes fade to benefit livestock and wine offered in all its complexity.
A beautiful name that surprises me every time. I advise all those who, like me, you sometimes struggle to get out the beaten track in Bordeaux.
LGDD's note for this wine: 16 to 16.5 / 20.
And of course, your comments are always welcome.
Cheers, NL
