A sensory experience in an exceptional setting
Each course follows a professional tasting methodology structured in three examination phases:
① Visual examination: Appreciate the color (color intensity, nuances), the clarity, the brilliance and observe the disc and the legs (tears) which testify to the alcoholic and glyceric richness of the wine.
② Olfactory examination: Develop your aromatic palette by identifying primary aromas (varietal, related to the grape variety), secondary aromas (resulting from fermentation), and tertiary aromas (evolving bouquet, notes from barrel aging). Master the distinction between a closed nose and an open nose, and recognize potential defects (cork taint, reduction, oxidation).
3. Tasting notes: Analyze the tannic structure, acid-alcohol balance, roundness, aromatic persistence (measured in caudalies), and identify tactile sensations (astringency, smoothness, alcoholic warmth). Learn to determine a wine's aging potential.
