From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Le Nez du Vin is a wine aroma identification kit created by French wine expert Jean Lenoir in 1981,[1] manufactured by Éditions Jean Lenoir, which consist of typical wine-associated scents contained in vials, accompanied by booklets and cards.[2] The concept has been described as among "the most advanced wine flavor sources",[3] and to potentially aid the education wine professionals, as well as functioning as a dinner party game.[2]
