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.

White wine. Southern Rhône, France. 45% Viognier, 45% Roussanne, 10% Clairette. Biodynamic. Green-hued yellow. A deeply perfumed bouquet displays aromas of ripe peach, pineapple and lemon curd. Plush, gently sweet tropical and pit fruit flavors show good depth, and a ginger note provides energy. A subtle floral quality emerges on the smooth, spice-tinged finish.

Domaine La Bastide Blanche Bandol Rose 2019

admin — Wed, 03 Feb 2021 13:43:54 +0000

Every January, this cuvée is assembled by Peter Weygandt at the domaine with Stéphane Bourret (wine-maker) and the Bronzo family so every year the blend is a little different, but the quality and signature Bastide Blanche Bandol rosé character never strays. Dominant Mourvèdre with about equal parts Cinsault and Grenache from hand-harvested grapes on clay-limestone soil with cailloux, yielding only about 36hL/ha. About 1100 cases produced. – Importer

Giraud Chateauneuf Du Pape Blanc Les Gallimardes 2018

admin — Tue, 02 Feb 2021 19:16:22 +0000

Clear eggshell colour with lilac edges. Appealing, delicate floral aromas with elderflower and may blossom tones. Nicely smooth and rounded mouth-feel with honey, acacia and lavender flavours. Lovely full liquorice finish. When the domaine was created « Les Galimardes » already existed. This area found to the south of the appellation has always been part of our family. Here we grow 100 year old Grenache, Syrah and several white varieties. Classic Châteauneuf-du-Pape terrain, it’s made up of big round pebbles on the surface that radiate gentle heat in the evening helping to concentrate the grapes. This cuvée is in our own image evoking a modern, vibrant and concentrated style: it promises rich powerful flavours. The white Galimardes has that unique pedigree intrinsic to great wines. – Winery

Janasse Blanc Chateauneuf Du Pape 2018

admin — Tue, 02 Feb 2021 19:15:43 +0000

Here is a statutory wine: the nose is a basket of yellow and white flesh fruits, where peach and exotic fruits dominate. Hints of vanilla and brioche bring a touch of extra fat. The richness of the mouth unfolds in a long sarabande of persistent aromas that sublimate fillet Saint-Pierre cooked on the skin. Enjoy it over the next fifteen years. – Winery

Janasse Cotes Du Rhone Blanc 2018

The best white Côtes-du-Rhône example. Here, nothing is too much. The blend reflects the complexity of a premium terroir and winemaking provides, by small touches, acute, sharp and beneficent freshness, with a hint of minerality. To be served on a fish market in foil or just for a refreshing aperitif, within the next five years. – Winery

Mont Redon Lirac Blanc 2018

Our white Liracs are attractive when young in the year or two following the harvest, if you are looking for the wines to be fragrant, fruity and elegant but still can age for another four to six years. – Importer
