Vous aimez le vin mais le vin ne vous aime pas. Vous avez beau humer les bouchons pour détecter d’éventuels défauts, vous ne sentez que l’odeur du liège. Vous observez mais ne voyez rien, vous humez mais ne sentez rien, vous grumez mais ne goûtez rien… Le rosé est-il un mélange de rouge et de blanc ? Le chemin est encore long mais vous y arriverez à force d’entraînement et de dégustation !
Ce n’est pas l’envie de devenir un véritable maître de la dégustation qui vous manque mais de l’entraînement. Vous aspirez à la sommellerie, ça ne fait aucun doute, mais vos sens ne sont pas encore suffisamment affûtés et tous les vins ont un goût semblable. Mais ne désespérez pas : si Bach a pu devenir un virtuose de la musique en étant sourd, il y a de l’espoir pour que vous puissiez un jour distinguer un chardonnay d’un champagne. Entraînez vos narines et vos papilles, il n’y a que ça de vrai !
Vous passez peut-être trop de temps à déchiffrer l’étiquette et pas assez à analyser le contenu de votre verre INAO. Mais vous avez le goût de l’aventure : vous êtes curieux de tout et vous explorez la jungle de la vigne à coup de machette sans crainte. Vous vous trompez, vous vous perdez, vous tombez mais vous vous relevez toujours. Vous avez la fougue de l’œnologue en devenir : ne désespérez pas, vous êtes sur la bonne route des vins !
You are an initiate of the order of good bottles. If you are not yet a great master of taste-vinage, you have the discipline and curiosity necessary to achieve it. If you can't yet distinguish the subtle notes of yuzu at the end of the second nose of a small, obscure wine with heightened minerality, you know with certainty what you like and what you don't like, and that's already a lot !
The precision of your tasting is almost witchcraft. It’s like you fell into an oak barrel when you were little! You simply excel in the art of oenology, you are familiar with the most advanced techniques and your senses are as sharp as those of a professional sommelier. You're pretty good, to say the least... The path to absolute grace is not far away!
You are the Mozart of tasting, the Picasso of the Pommerol cellars, the Einstein of the Savagnin old and Comté accord 36 months of maturing with grains of salt! At a glance, you can distinguish Mourvèdre from Tannat. The subtlety of your senses has risen to the rank of divinity: you discern the most incongruous aromas in a few seconds in any bottle. You have passed to the other side of the barrier: you no longer taste the wine, you write its destiny.
The connoisseurs' corner
In oenology, we speak of Old World wines when they are produced in traditional wine regions such as Europe and the Middle East.
While in the New World, wine-growing activity is more recent, as in America and Africa. Can you recognize the category to which the 4 wines in this box belong?
