Wine Monkey Top Picks: February
Mas Baux Rouge à Lèvres Rosé, 2023
This rosé is as playful and striking as its name suggests. Rouge à Lèvres (which translates to “lipstick” in French) is a bright, lively wine, embodying the vibrant energy of a summer’s day. With delicate aromas of red berries and a light, crisp texture, it’s refreshing and full of character. It’s the kind of wine you’d reach for when you’re after something bright, flirtatious, and undeniably charming — like the perfect shade of lipstick.
Mas Baux Velours Rouge, 2022
A smooth, elegant red that offers the softness and luxury of velvet. Velours Rouge is a wine that delivers on its promise of depth and richness. With an expressive bouquet of dark fruits, spices, and a hint of earthiness, it balances intensity with refinement. This wine is all about indulgence, inviting you to experience the complexity of the vineyard while maintaining a graceful, approachable finish. It’s like draping yourself in the softest, most sumptuous fabric—perfect for a cozy evening or a celebratory dinner.
Chêne Bleu Astralabe, 2019
Named after the son of famous medieval lovers Abélard and Héloïse, Astralabe carries a sense of timeless passion. This wine tells a story of dedication and romance, produced in the high-altitude vineyards of Chêne Bleu, which lends it a unique and bold character. Expect a deep, structured red with layers of dark fruit, herbs, and hints of oak. It’s rich and complex, with a finish that lingers like a love letter from the past. Astralabe is a perfect representation of the union between the old-world traditions of winemaking and modern refinement—a true ode to enduring love.
David & Nadia Chenin Blanc, 2022
A true labour of love, this Chenin Blanc is crafted by the husband-and-wife duo, David and Nadia. With a focus on organic practices and minimal intervention, their approach to winemaking brings out the best in their vineyard’s terroir. Expect a wine with a beautiful balance of bright acidity and rich, textured fruit. The aromas of stone fruit, citrus, and honeyed notes marry perfectly with the wine’s mineral undertones. It’s a graceful, well-rounded wine that speaks to both the passion and precision of the couple behind it.
Saddle Goose Chardonnay Col Fondo, 2022
“Col Fondo” is a style of sparkling wine made in the traditional method with a secondary fermentation in the bottle, but unlike most, this one is left unfiltered—creating a wine with a little more grit and complexity. The Saddle Goose Chardonnay is intriguing, combining the crisp freshness of the grape with a slight earthiness and natural yeast character. Its textured, almost savoury finish gives it depth, making it a great wine to pair with hearty dishes. Sometimes, love, like this wine, is a little more effort — but that’s exactly what makes it so special.
4 Monos Cien Lanzas Red, 2019
A wine born from the collaborative spirit of four friends, 4 Monos (which translates to “4 monkeys”) brings together a playful energy and a true passion for winemaking. The Cien Lanzas Red is made from old-vine Garnacha, producing a wine with intensity, elegance, and character. Expect aromas of ripe red berries, hints of herbs, and a subtle earthiness, all balanced by bright acidity and a smooth texture. This wine embodies friendship and the joy of working together to create something meaningful, offering an easy-drinking yet complex profile that invites conversation and enjoyment.
