THE MINERAL TOUR

Why not challenge yourself by participating in the 8th edition of the mineral tour qui commencera ce 1er février 2023 ? L’occasion de se refaire une santé sans se frustrer.
PODIUM RESULTS AND JURY COMMENTS
The ready-to-drink Night Orient Mojito non-alcoholic cocktail won a gold medal with a score of 85%.
Its pale green colour and pleasant nose evoke fresh mint. On the palate, it reveals a nice roundness and fresh aromas. The finish is acidic but remains very harmonious. A non-alcoholic mojito ready to be enjoyed on any occasion.
PVREZERO Amaretto without alcohol, gold medal winner with a score of 88%.
Il revêt une robe ambrée et un nez explosif regorgeant de saveurs d’amandes grillées, de fruits secs et de noyaux. En bouche son aspect sirupeux, sans lourdeur est à la fois poli et frais. Le côté grillé occupe agréablement la finale et son goût en bouche. Cette alternative aux spiritueux sans alcool est une jolie boisson de dessert.
Le vin pétillant sans alcool Night Orient Classic s’est également distingué par une médaille d’argent avec un résultat de 83%
With its clear colour and nose revealing fruity aromas of pears, quinces and exotic fruits, it is round in the mouth. A simple, accessible style, offering a very suitable balance for this de-alcoholised sparkling wine.
