In this category I have gathered all the wines for which I had a crush during my tastings. Sometimes it's an exceptional vintage, sometimes it's an excellent value for money, but also a wine with extraordinary taste qualities or an atypical aromatic richness.
You will find both small entry-level cuvées and great gastronomic wines. Their profiles can be totally different, light wines or on the contrary powerful wines, but they all have one factor in common: they are very well made and deserve our full attention.
