Le Nez du Vin

Make Rapid Progress in Tasting

Le Nez du Vin® includes a collection of aromas along with a companion book to help you make rapid progress in wine tasting. With it, you can:

  1. Train and enrich your sense of smell

The sense of smell is the most important sensory organ in perceiving wine. It accounts for 80% of the tasting experience. You've probably noticed that when you have a cold, you can't taste anything.

It is often difficult to recognize an aroma in a wine glass. Have you ever had the feeling of knowing a smell without being able to identify it? That's normal! Just like reading, writing, or arithmetic, smelling must also be learned.

Le Nez du Vin® is not only recognized by professionals but can also be used in a playful way. Choose aromas at random, smell them attentively (especially blind), categorize them, try to name them, and then check. After just a few weeks, you will surely be able to identify, recognize, and, most importantly, name these aromas.

Better analyze tasted wines - But what does that achieve?

First of all, recognizing aromas enriches your tasting vocabulary. When you can put your impressions into words, it enhances the tasting experience and allows you to share it with others.

Furthermore, the aromas of the wine provide information about the variety and geographic origin, the type of winemaking, and the aging process. The companion book serves as a guide. It links the aroma collection with the tasted wines and includes a list of typical aromas sorted by grape varieties and wine regions in France and worldwide.

Refine your taste

As a beginner, you might enjoy white wines with pronounced notes of light-fleshed fruits (apricot, peach), flowers (rose, linden blossom), and honey. Thanks to Le Nez du Vin®, you now know that you can confidently turn to the grape varieties Gewürztraminer and Muscat.

Gewürztraminer is mainly grown in Alsace and Germany. The most common notes of this particularly aromatic wine are lychee, rose, and clove.

There are several varieties of Muscat, all characterized by a high terpene content, which gives the wine its open, pleasantly fragrant character. Muscat grapes are mainly grown in southern France.

Become a wine detective

As an enthusiast, you taste a glass of white wine. Through regular practice with our aromas, you are able to perceive notes of hawthorn, roasted hazelnut, butter, and vanilla. These are clues to the grape variety and the origin of the wine, as well as the winemaker's methods of winemaking and aging.

From the book, you learn that this aromatic profile is typical of the Chardonnay grape variety. The buttery note in the wine is produced by diacetyl, a molecule that forms during malolactic fermentation.

Vanilla is present in wines aged in new oak barrels because vanillin is produced during the breakdown of lignin in the wood.
