Northern Rhône Wine
The northern Rhone is a section of the river of the same name in the southeast of France. Here, the Rhone Valley is steep and narrow, and the powerful mistral wind blows through it. The best vineyards are on terraced slopes. Syrah is the most important grape variety, and some of the red wines made from it stand with the best of Bordeaux. The following appellations produce mostly red wines made from Syrah, as well as a small amount of white wine: Cote Rotie (no white), St-Joseph, Crozes-Hermitage, Cornas (no white), and Hermitage. Condrieu and Chateau Grillet both make unique wines from Viognier. Chateau Grillet is a monopole -- an entire appellation that belongs to only one producer. There are also sparkling white wines made in St-Peray from Marsanne and Roussanne.

April 2009
Auguste Pierre & Olivier Clape Cornas Domaine Clape 1999
Snoothrank:
One of my favourite Cornas and the best vintage I tasted from Clape ones: rich, mineral,kind of under forest notes, slight smoky on the palate. Structure, complexity, not tough as some other Cornas can be. A great example of this small but very qualitative area. Read More

Hermitage Cuvee de Loree Blanc Chapoutier 2005
Snoothrank:
Awesome, superlative white wine. Tasted only once last year, but I still remember its honey, kumquat, floral flavours, on a very precise mineral structure. Marsanne at its best, with a veeeeeery persistent finish. Read More

Domaine des Entrefaux Tardy Crozes-Hermitage 2005
Snoothrank:
A lovely Crozes Hermitage, really fruity, to be drank at 15-16C° to take the best from its freshness.Smart choice with terrines, cured ham and other dried pork meats: isn't it nice when Spring knocks up?"Les Pends" cuvée is more complex and rich, delicious wine i would rate 4,5 and drink with meridional cuisine to benefit from the leather, peppe...

Chapoutier M. Ermitage l'Ermite 2003
Snoothrank:
Reggie Jackson circa October 1978. Power, structure, consistency. A true champ. Highlighted with a bit of verve spice, menthol, mint. A spectacular finish. Lingering in the memory. Read More

St. Cosme St. Joseph 2005
Snoothrank:
The nose is delicate yet complex with aromas of pepper, dust, earth, spice, and dark fruit including blackberries. Really good balance in the wine with just a touch of acidity. The body is on the lighter side of medium. Substantial yet fine tannins. Great finish that stays for a while and remains balanced. This was an excellent wine, I high... Read More

Michel Perraud Cornas Vieilles Vignes le Vignon 2000
Snoothrank:
Dark red with browning tints. Earthy, with notes of black cherry, blackberry, saddle leather, hints of barnyard and white truffle. Smooth tannins and a long, smooth finish. A wine that drinks way above its price range. Read More

Phillipe Faury Condrieu 2005
Snoothrank:
Sumptious, but balanced and fresh - not at all heavy. Highly aromatic with flowers and tropical citrus on the nose. Pear, peach and (I know this sounds odd), rootbeer on the palate. Darn good! Read More
