Jean Lenoir, a significant and enthusiastic wine-persona from Bourgogne, created in 1980 the Rolls-Royce of aroma sets. Over the years the kit grew in size and now the main faults of wine are released separately.
Many artists have depicted the nose and its sensational joys. Here two examples from Henri Martin’s well-known series on uncorking and tasting a wine;Sentir le Bouchon(left) and Plaisir de Nez(right).
Le Nez du Vin (the nose of wine) provides a simple way of learning and memorising odours. A skill necessary for appreciating, commentating and assessing wines. Learn, indulge and let the wines sing to you; revealing their layers and complexities.. It is truly here the real pleasures begin!
The set include descriptions for each aroma and on the back of these a list of famous wines, districts and grape varieties associated with these.
Also include a booklet contenting of much more; describing e.g. the science and molecules affiliated with aromas, and your sensory impressions of these.
54 aromas captured in aesthetic small glass containers similar to the ones a Parfumeur uses. A serious piece of wine-gear; helping you to move forward in your search of the genie in the bottle.
Notting Hill Brasserie in London has dedicated a whole wall in their Champagne Bar to “nose art”. A fine tribute to the life enriching sense of smell.
