    Judge at the Concours international de Lyon

    I had the pleasure of serving as a judge at the Concours international de Lyon: 60 wines tasted, reds (Bordeaux, Médoc, Plan de Dieu, Beaumes-de-Venise) and rosés (Ardèche, Coteaux des Baronnies, Luberon, Côtes du Rhône).

    A rewarding experience, which contributed to the award of 17 gold medals and 6 silver medals. Congratulations to the estates and houses honoured.

    At the Montchat market with the Ferme du Jaricot

    As on many Wednesdays and Saturdays, Vino Veritas was alongside the Ferme du Jaricot at the Montchat market to promote its fruit and vegetables.

    Good local produce is at the heart of the house: local, genuine, full of flavour. Supporting those who do things well is what matters most.

  • Cuvée du Menhir white

    Wine of the month · January 2026

    Hautes Côtes de Beaune, Maison Charles Père & Filles, Cuvée du Menhir white 2024

    From a tiny 0.10-hectare vineyard, this golden Chardonnay offers aromas of exotic fruit and a palate balanced between minerality and roundness. Aged for 12 months in oak barrels, then in amphora.

    Serve at 12 °C with fine fish, a jambon persillé or as an aperitif. A rare cuvée: 600 bottles.

    Spirit of the month · January 2026

    Jean Boyer rhum agricole, Cap Vert Spiced

    A blend of traditional Cape Verdean grogues, enhanced with 10% caramelised cane honey, then a maceration of seeds and spices: warm notes of gingerbread.

  • Responsable red by Bruno Lafon

    Deal of the month · January 2026

    Languedoc, Bruno Lafon, Responsable red

    From organic viticulture, this southern wine blends Grenache, Syrah and Cinsault: a nose of ripe red fruit and gentle spices, and a supple, juicy, balanced palate.

    Responsible in its approach, a pleasure in its accessible character.
