As many of you know, I am a lover of wine! To me, there is nothing better than sitting down with a perfect glass of wine and relaxing at the end of the day. The only issue I have is opening a bottle to find that the wine I purchased isn't what I expected it to be. I feel like I've just wasted my money on something I will never drink. If only I could buy my wine by the glass so I'm able to try it before I buy it.
HOLD UP....it's possible! Blason-Louis offers wine in just that way.
So let me tell you a little bit about Blason-Louis. They simply have a shared passion :) Traveling to the most famous wine regions in France to uncover the most authentic expressions of it's terroir.
This is not your every day bottling company who ships in bulk just to make a profit. This is a wonderfully complicated process where they look for perfection not only in their wine but the vineyard as well and carry this onto their customers for the best wine experience one could possibly have in the setting of thier own home.
When you sign up to receive your wine, you are sent everything you need to know from the vineyard to the winemaker to explanation of that particular wine. An expert sent right to your home.
Let me tell you about my experience :)
I received two testers packaged pristine right to my front door. Both were a red wine. Now I will let you know that I am more of a white wine drinker but these red wines were amazing!

The first one I tried was POMMARD by Regis Parigot
This is a 2012 From Burgundy France and 100% Pinot Noir. It has a bursting Cherry, sensual Rose and inviting Cinnamon flavor. My first impression with the aroma was almost a woodsy smell with a hint of ginger and fruit. This is a fairly dry wine in my taste so if you are looking for something in that area, then the Pommard is definitely something you should try.
The next wine I tried was the SANCERRE by Pierre Martin
This is a 2014 from Loire Valley France and 100% Pinot Noir. I didn't care for this one as much as I did the other only because I could taste a slight aroma of mushroom. I'm not a big fan but I will say that the aftertaste wasn't bad. I could then taste the grapes. It smelled divine and of cherries and woods. A very good wine. This is also a bit of a dry wine and would go great with a main dinner course.
So they sent me some rules to this taste off! They are simple rules to make the experience all that much better.
First rule: Flacon= 1 glass but if you are feeling generous, you can share.
Second rule: After you pour, give the wine 3-5 minutes to breathe and express it's full flavor... remember, good things come to those who wait :)
Third rule: before reading the taste-off board, test your own senses. What do you see, smell and taste?
I shared my wine with my oldest son and my aunt...Don't worry...both are of legal drinking age even if they do look like they are teenagers :D
I had to fight for my right to taste....Neither one of them wanted to give me the glass back so I could try! 😧 But alas...I succeeded in my turn! And they were both delicious!
I would highly recommend giving Blason-Louis a try! Don't forget to use coupon code WithOpenEyes to receive your first French Artisan wine for $4.99

I absolutely love wine and I can’t wait to try this one. I also love the presentation / packaging. Two thumbs up!
ReplyDeleteWine lover here too! This is seriously such a cleaver way of tasting wine before you buy the whole bottle! Can't tell you how many times I have also been disappointed but I still drank the whole bottle(didn't want to waste it lol)I love this and great price too!
ReplyDeleteI've only had any French wine once in my life and it was sooo good. Sadly, here in Iowa they are very pricey!
ReplyDeleteThis wine looks fantastic. I have to try this too, soon!
