Red: Château les Eydins 2007

The “Côtes du Luberon” are part of the South Côtes du Rhone. They are located south-east of Avignon on the Durance River. The vineyard of Château Eydins belongs to Serge Seignon, a passionate young vintner who learnt the trade with his father.

Château les Eydins is a blend of 10% Syrah, 70% Grenache, and 20% Carignan. It has a deep red ruby robe and a discreet nose. To the palate it shows a good concentration with medium tannins, a touch of licorice, black cherries and spices. It is a wine ready to drink. The Grenache does not age well.

White: Tour des Pins 2008

The vineyard of Tour des Pins is located in Languedoc, close to the city of Beziers. It is a region that has been producing wine for centuries, first with the Greeks, then with the Romans. It enjoys a hot climate but receives a cool breeze from the Mediterranean Sea. This wine is a blend of Vermentino 80% (also called Rolle), and Chardonnay 20%.

This is a fresh and elegant wine that shows a large aromatic richness for the nose. It has hints of pears and green apple aromas and a long lasting refreshing finish. It accompanies seafood well.
