Domaine Moulin La Viguerie ‘les Falaises De Braise’ Tavel Rose 2019

admin — Wed, 03 Feb 2021 13:54:14 +0000

Moulin-la Viguerie is a very historic estate. Owner, Gaël Petit’s family has run this estate since around 1900. In fact, his great-great grandpappy, Aimé Roudil was the first president of the Tavel syndicate in 1923 and actually was the key leader in 1936 for getting the region’s appellation status. Gaël took over from his mother in 1992 and is now the president of the Tavel syndicate (circles). They own 15 ha of vineyards in Tavel, in all three major sectors: Olivet, Vallongue and Vestides. Vestides, the majority of vineyards, is a unique terroir. Clay on the top soil and then moves to limestone, giving the grapes here bright fruit and minerality. And that is ABUNDANTLY CLEAR on this wine. 50% Grenache, 30% Cinsault, 10% Syrah, 10% Mourvedre and Bourboulenc and Clairette. 50 year old vines on average. And winemaking is very clean and in cement for the whole ride. Thus, this is a wine that is wonderfully ripe and bright and the texture is just explosive! Crunchy fruit that makes you want to drink the entire bottle.

Clos St. Jean Combe Des Fous Chateauneuf Du Pape 2015

admin — Wed, 03 Feb 2021 13:53:01 +0000

Combe des Fous literally means, the hill of the fool. The hill, in this case, is located in the far southern reach of Le Crau which was left barren for many centuries because the layer of galets was so exceedingly deep that everyone assumed vines could never survive there. The fool in this situation is Edmund Tacussel, the great-great-grandfather of Vincent and Pascal Maruel who planted a Grenache vineyard on this site in 1905. That old-vine Grenache form the heart of this cuvee with a small amount of Syrah, Cinsault and Vaccarese. – Importer

From the Hill of Fools comes this extraordinary blend. -Importer

Kermit Lynch Cotes Du Rhone Cypress 2018

admin — Wed, 03 Feb 2021 13:47:41 +0000

Looking to create a blend that highlighted the differences between grapes grown in the southern Rhône area surrounding Avignon, and those from the more northern region of Vaison-la-Romaine, Kermit Lynch partnered with Jean-François Pasturel of Terres d’Avignon to create the ‘Cypress Cuvée.’ According to Bruce Neyers, the former Director of National Sales at Kermit Lynch, The term Cypress Cuvée was originally suggested by Daniel Brunier, who remarked that this northern, mountainous area of the Côtes du Rhône was given more to cypress trees than to olive trees. Hence, the birth of a cuvée that offers lovers of Rhône-style reds an accessible alternative at an appealing price point. The Côtes du Rhône Rouge “Cypress Cuvée” consists mostly of Grenache, with Syrah, Carignan, Cinsault, and Mourvèdre included in the mix. Vines average 40 years of age and come from a combination of marl and limestone soils. The resulting wine undergoes natural fermentation and aging in cement tanks before being bottled unfined and unfiltered. -Importer

Terrebrune Bandol Rouge 2014

admin — Wed, 03 Feb 2021 13:47:40 +0000

Vine Age: 15 years average. Organic viticulture with absolutely no chemical herbicides, pesticides, or fertilizers, soil is worked regularly by plow and hand-hoes, buds are trimmed and a green harvest is practice to purposefully limit yields; the average yield is between 35-38 hl/ha, all grapes are harvested by hand, and selection takes place in the vineyards instead of on asorting table, grapes are de-stemmed and then pressed gently by pneumatic press. Only indigenous yeasts are used, wines ferment in underground, temperature-controlled, gravity-fed cuves, all wines are unfined and unfiltered. Fermentation lasts for 15-21 days in closed cuve, maceration by pump-over, wine ages in oak foudres for 18 months, aging potential: 30 years. Terrebrune vigneron Reynald Delille seems to be a quiet, reserved man, but a twinkle in his eye appears as soon as he begins pouring samples of his Bandols. Upon seeing his guests’ excitement when tasting his wines, he suddenly becomes eager to provide an in depth explanation of why the wines taste the way they do. This explanation is rooted in terroir, as Terrebrune benefits from geographical and geological features that make it unique in the Bandol appellation. The vineyards lie directly in the path of marine breezes that sweep off the Mediterranean, providing his wines with a mouthwatering saline quality. Additionally, the fissured limestone from the Trias era allows vine roots to probe deep for freshness—crucial in the dry Provençal summers. Extreme precision in farming and vinification make Terrebrune special as well. This chewy, gamey Bandol suggests Reynald is onto something— here is a full-bodied dose of Terrebrune terroir you can enjoy over the next thirty years. – Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant It arrives at a beautiful harmony, its tannic structure melts to express a great complexity. The aromas of cooked red and black fruits mingle with notes of undergrowth and humus. -Winery
