Paris Tasting
An astonished Philippe Noyé (also known as “Monsieur Loire”) twirls his glass at our first annual Mosel Wine Merchant tasting held in Paris at Macéo on September 10, 2007.
Monsieur Noyé is the longtime agent of the Foucault brothers at Clos Rougeard, as well as Anselme Selosse in Champagne among other vignerons outside the Loire. (Having cellared and drunk several bottles of Clos Rougeard over the years, in particular, the 1997 and ’99 Les Poyeux, and the 2001 village, the wines are indeed special.)
Our friend Tobias Hannemann took this amusing shot at the tasting, which included other Parisian wine agents, such as the lovely Françoise Vadé-Felon, in addition to shop owners Juan Sanchez of La Dernière Goutte and Marc Sibard of Caves Augé.
It was great to see an appreciation for our selections among connoisseurs and to have on hand well-known French journalists and Mosel wine lovers Michel Bettane and Eric Riewer taste with us.
