Sipping Fine Wine

9.1

Opened another recently, legendary wine, said that in the 18th century was introduced to Sultan of Constantinople's palace b/c of its clarity and called "mineral water from Carbonnieux", defying Islamic law. Pale lemon with pronounce aromas of tropical and stone fruits with herb notes. On the palate flavors of melon, mango, apple, green herbs and a crisp mineral edge. Medium+ length, balanced acidity, ending with a fruit, citrus mineral character. Nice, aging well. — 5 years ago

So far I'm very impressed with this producer. The Chardonnay pleasantly surprised me. Tropical fruit, melon, stone fruit such as pears and peaches. The nose is very aromatic. M+ acid. M body. A hint of creaminess on the palate. Balanced. Great structure and long finish. Like the Viognier I'm surprised by the low price point. — 10 years ago

Yes, 6 varietals….nevertheless, the Monticello tar/singe is framing this one. The 2012 was decidedly more balanced. EDIT: after a full day of air the funk wore off and the sour turned decidedly more balanced and sweet… Worthy of a one point pump ;) — 5 years ago

Typical CdR blend of Grenache, Syrah & Carignan with a dash of Cinsault, gives the typical fruit forward flavors (raspberries, blackberries, plums) yet in a very light, airy & crunchy manner - more of a gothic cathedral than a baroque palace.
On the palate this is also airy & light, with fresh crunchy fruit (Black fruit again, with a touch of olive), good quality, juicy tannins and a mineral backbone. Weightless almost, and this despite 14.5% alc!
A beauty!

I was surprised - genuinely impressed at the weight-to-acid balance...both fresh and polished. Part 2 of the test - chix Alfredo: it handled it! The Sur-lie carried the day :) 17$ for this assassin? yes, more of the 207! — 6 years ago
