Patrick Coste's Le Pointu http://www.domaine-le-pointu.com Red or white, theese wines are wonderful, perhaps top of the best of c9dp !! Organic driven vineyards. - The white 2006 Feuilles d'or is an exceptional wine ! White grenache, white clairette. You'll keep it 2010-2018 according to the lengh of its finish. Exeptional first taste with sweetness and flavour of apple, anisseed, with excellent balance.(to be served at 10° C) In red, the Domain produce 2 jewels : - Cuvée Clément 2006. Come from selection of 90 years old vineyards. Black grenache, black cinsault. Nose fresh, delicate and fruity with flavoured notes of Kirsch. In mouth, marvellous, delicate tannins, rich structure, notes of fruit, with delicate toasted touches. The finish is long and delicate. Will last up to 2028 ! - Domaine Le Pointu 2006 - Black grenache, black cinsault. Nose very elegant, aromas of dried figs and dried fruits In mouth, it's powerful and fresh, fruity flavours similar to the nose, wonderful elegant tannins. The finish is exceptionally long. Its life will be 2010-2030 ! The red wines should be served at 15°C. For other c9dp, I would go to a white Château de la Nerthe 2008 and a red 2005, http://www.chateaulanerthe.fr/ a Domaine de Saint Siffrein 2006 red (to be drank now, up to 2012) and from the same a 2007 white. http://www.vigneron-independant.com/annuaire.php?page_annu=desc2&numadh=889 Another jewel : Domaine de Marcoux 2007 red, which is splendid ! Great talent and pure pleasure. Organic vineyards. In Vacqeyras, don't miss the Domaine Le Sang des Cailloux with its 2006 Cuvée de Lopy. Also from the same the Un sang blanc 2007 white will kick you up with its white flowers fragance and a touch of light acidity. http://www.sangdescailloux.com/    (hide)

  Chateau La Nerthe Chateauneuf-du-Pape Rouge 2004

  Snoothrank: Starting at $47^.99

  a must to taste for chateauneuf consumers. To drink by itself, with any kind of meat, even with blood fishes, or acompanning mild cheeses with pears or grapes.. Ripe, rich, flavored, if you resist keeping it in the cellar, go for it for a couple years. as it is, ready to drink anyway.

  Chateau de la Font du Loup, Chateauneuf-du-Pape Blanc 2007

Read moreThe Chateau de la Font du Loup Chateauneuf du Pape white 2007 is a blend of 40% Grenache Blanc, 30% Rousanne, 15% Clairette and 15% Bourboulec. The Roussanne and Clairette have been vinified in "second vin" from Chateau d'Yquem, then matured in french oak for 8 months. The other grapes have been vinified in stainless steel tanks to ensure a great freshness in the final blend. The nose is warm and complex and presents pear and peach aromas. On the palate, the wine is round with mineral notes of silex. The mid palate is beautiful, rich and well balanced with enough acidity to give a long lasting finish full of honey flavours.

Read moreSecond in a flight of SA wines we tried after the Sequillo white, and if anything even headier: this is also in the style of a southern-French white, but gonzoid and turbo-charged. It could conceivably be drunk with a fruity dessert, such is its seductive richness; but it charmed our monkfish just as well, permeating the meal with its resinous, neverending aroma and flavour. It shows its Chenin more than anything else, in that Savennières way of honey and olive oil, but Viognier's stone fruit peeks through and Clairette's slightly oxidised, sherryish taint adds a little curiosity. Absolutely lovely.    (hide)

  Louis Bernard Cotes du Luberon 2005

  Snoothrank:

  This is a weird wine - I've never had anything quite like it. The nose was full of cork and floral notes. The palate was soft and fruity. Finish was short. Just not enough going on to keep my interest.

  Goats Do Roam White 2006

  Snoothrank:

  Nose was a little closed. Chilled before serving. Very crisp and slighty dry. Hints of spices and peach with a subtle taste of green apple. The finish was clean but a little stunted. Very refreshing white wine.

  Goats Do Roam White 2006

  Snoothrank:

  Notes of apple and maybe a bit of citrus. Medium body with acidity that lends crispness to the wine. The finish is short yet smooth. This was not very complex but it was enjoyable and easy to drink. Good quality to price ratio.
