THE LADY: Domaine de la Grand’ Cour Brouilly Vieilles Vignes, Beaujolais, France, 2010 • THE TUNE: Austra – Lose It (2011)
The Personality: ingenuous, she has the freshness and the pinky shyness of a teenager. Her crystalline voice goes along with her easy/frivolous/candy/violet character. Though you try to kiss her, she gives you an unexpected tannic slap, like sunburn in the winter. Tangy, ambiguous and playful, this young pretty girl loves women and she screams it (Singapore, 2011)

THE LADY: Charly Thévenet Grain & Granit Régnié, Beaujolais, France, 2009 • THE TUNE: Morphine - Buena (1993)
The Personality: with a smoky, meaty mood, a caressing texture, a dashing allure, this is a middleweight boxer that comes from an attractive and promising young domain (Charly is the son of famous “Gang of Four” Morgon producer Jean-Paul Thévenet and purchased this parcel of eighty-year-old vines a few years ago). He is street-smart, well-built, skilled, nervous and racy. He is more complex than you would think, he smiles at you with a candid charm that makes you secretly wonder about his dark side… (Singapore, 2011)

THE LADY: Jean-Paul Thévenet Morgon Vieilles Vignes, Beaujolais, France, 2010 • THE TUNE: Joy Division - Love Will Tear Us Apart (1980)
The Personality: precise, tight tannins coupled with a bright but yet integrated acidity, it has the graceful agility of the flowing backhand of an experienced tennis player. This boy has a wild and timeless elegance, a fine muscle structure and a rock’n’roll-esk class. With such natural skills, there is no question he will age beautifully (Singapore, 2011)

THE LADY: Jean Foillard Morgon Cuvée Corcelette, Beaujolais, France, 2009 • THE TUNE: Patsy Cline – Walkin’ After Midnight (1957)
The Personality: it feels like your fingertips are brushing wet dirt and silk at the same time, a mix of sadness and attractiveness. It is a little, imposing cuvée with an elegant animality. Generous, dense, juicy, peppery, it wakes up your carnivorous desire and has the erogenous effect of the anticipation of a great steak. It is a bossy lady with a bewitching voice who is excellent company through to the end of the night (Singapore, 2011)
