ROCHEGRÉS 2013, “COUP DE CŒUR” of HACHETTE Wine Guide 2016 and 2 stars
We are happy to announce that our first vintage Rochegrés 2013 has been elected “Coup de cœur” of Hachette Wine Guide 2016 and received 2 stars described as a remarkable wine.
Extract from Hachette Wine Guide:
« This ambitious cuvée has been aged 12 months in oak barrels. It gives it a noze of black fruits with delicates vanilla taste. In the mouth, the wood taste is perfectly assimilated, a full-bodied wine, deep and intense. Firm tannins gives it a good ageeing potential. Tannins will get smoother with time. This wine gathers power and elegence.”

A Gold Medal for our Cuvée Tradition 2013 at our first outing at the Lyon International Challenge 2015.
Lyon is well known as a capital of taste, so it was a natural choice that the city should welcome a selection of the world‟s best wines. The Lyon International Challenge 2015 through the support of its partners „Les Toques Blanches Lyonnaises”, “Global Wine and Spirits” and the Sommelier Association of Lyon and Rhône-Alpes has gained strong notoriety. The enthusiasm does not disappoint with around 3500 samples tasted and twenty-two countries represented.
In 2015, under the presidency of Denis Verneau, Chief Sommelier at the double Michelin-starred “Mère Brazier” in Lyon, la Maison Nid was awarded the Gold Medal for its Cuvée Tradition 2013.
Silver Medal for our Cuvée Tradition 2013 at the Gamay International Challenge 2015.
In a number of countries, the main criterion for the selection of a wine is its grape. The objectives of the Gamay International Wine Challenge are simple: to select the best Gamay in the world and to show off the qualities, diversity and characteristics of this incredible grape variety; a wine which is fruity, easy drinking, slightly tannic, complex and gets better with age. Each year, a panel of one-hundred and thirty tasters, made up of wine experts and professionals judge six hundred samples. In 2015, la Maison Le Nid was awarded, to our great delight, a Silver Medal for our Cuvée Tradition 2013.
