Review:

This is a beautiful, terroir-centric wine. A basket of yellow apples sits on a bed of dried field grass dusted with fresh herbs, baby's breath and chamomile blossoms. The layered palate is textured with flavor depth that invokes dew-coated forest floor, green-apple peel and lemon citrus. — Reggie Solomon

Le Bihan Sancerre Blanc 2024

Maison Le Bihan Sancerre Blanc is 100% Sauvignon Blanc.

Pale, lemon green color, with pronounced citrus intensity. The nose is dominated by lychee, grapefruit and peach aromas; rich and well-rounded in the mouth, showing a pleasant acidity length.

Traditional, in stainless steel tanks. Bladder press grape pressing and reception of the must in the tanks by gravity. Settling of the must 24-36 hours before fermentation. Slow alcoholic fermentation only is done, in order to preserve the aromatic qualities. A racking is done over 3 months later. Clarification and light filtration before bottling at the estate.

To drink as an Aperitif or with food, such as white meat, seafood, crottin de Chavignol goat cheese.

Grand Veneur Chateauneuf-du-Pape Rouge Les Origines 2021

Grand Veneur Chateauneuf-du-Pape Rouge Les Origines is made from 50% Grenache, 30% Mourvedre and 20% Syrah

Matured in vats (grenache) and in oak casks (syrah and mourvèdre).

Deep and brilliant, purple-red colour. An exciting nose with aromas of black fruit (blackcurrant, cherry) spices and vanilla. This great aromatic complexity is found on the palate : the spices and ripe fruit appear with an elegant woodiness and harmonious tannins. The finish has good aromatic length and introduces a touch of liquorice and pepper.

A terrific Châteauneuf du Pape with great concentration and finesse.

Best between 2 and 20 years. Best to decant if young (less than 5 years old).

Soil type Extreme north of Châteauneuf du Pape. This plateau is made with a high quantity of red clay mixed with rocks. This area is considerated to be one of the best to produce rich and powerful red wines. By definition, LES ORIGINES will always deliver a great complexity and ageing potential. Winemaking & ageing Harvest is sorted by hand, destemmed and crushed. Fermentation temperature is controlled at 30°C. Vatting period of 18 to 20 days. Matured in vats (grenache) and in oak casks (syrah and mourvèdre).

Review:

The 2021 Châteauneuf Du Pape Les Origines checks in as 50% Grenache, 30% Mourvèdre, and 20% Syrah that was raised in a mix of new barrels and concrete tank. Its deep purple hue is followed by a gorgeous array of ripe blackberries, peppery herbs, violets, and perfectly integrated spicy oak. While clearly a more modern styled wine, it's flawlessly balanced, medium to full-bodied, has fine tannins, and incredibly well-integrated oak, tannins, and acidity. This estate plays at an incredibly high level, and this brilliant 2021 will be loved by both the modern and traditionalist out there. Bravo.

The full dry tannins shape the personality of this bold and crisp...

The 2021 Chateauneuf du Pape les Origines is 50% Grenache, 30% Mourvèdre and 20% Syrah, aged in a mix of new barriques (for the Syrah and Mourvèdre) and concrete tanks (for the Grenache). Hints of leather and cedar accent cherries and redcurrants on the nose, while the medium to full-bodied palate starts off supple and easy, then turns rather grippy and tannic on the finish, as the wood tannins assert themselves. If those integrate, expect the wine to rate a couple of points higher in a few years' time.

Bihan Le Pouilly-Fume 2023

Bihan Le Pouilly-Fume is made from 100 percent Sauvignon Blanc. 

Its aromas: white flowers (hawthorn and acacia flowers), followed by hints of black current buds, pineapple, apricot or white peaches, depending on the year, with clear mineral notes in the finish. After a couple of years, aromas often evolve to quince and mango. On the palate, it is virile, powerful and long lasting. This Pouilly Fumé is for wine lovers who appreciate full, rich and generous wines.


Pair with seafood, lobster, fish and white meat. Goat cheese is a perfect match too!





Fayolle Crozes-Hermitage Rouge Cuvee Nicolas 2021

Fayolle Crozes-Hermitage Rouge Cuvee Nicolas is made from 100 percent Syrah. 

Deep ruby red color. Nose of red and black currant fruits, pepper, spring flowers, new leather and mineral/earthy nuances. Medium bodied palate of red fruit and spice. Nice balance. Long finish and velvety.

Good match with red meat (beef, lams) or white meat (veal) in sauce, poultry and game meat. Perfect with most cheeses.


 


Graviere La Rouge Cuvee les Terrasses 2021

The finish is lasting with a bitter almond aftertaste.
