Le Nez du Vin® allows you to:
- Train and enrich your olfactory memory. The sense of smell constitutes the most important sense in the perception of wine. But it is often difficult to identify an aroma in your glass of wine. Have you already encountered the feeling that you know a smell without being able to recognize it? Nothing is more normal! In the same way that we learned to read, write, or count, smelling also requires training.
- To better analyze the wine that you taste. But “What use is that ?” First of all, recognizing aromas enriches your tasting vocabulary. Being able to attach a word to your impressions increases your tasting pleasure and allows you to share your ideas with others.Then, the aromas of a wine inform us about its geographic origin and the different steps in its creation: Grapes, Terroir, fermentation, aging in casks...
