Clos De La Tech

Xavier Vignon

Cuvée Anonyme Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2009

This winemaker started as a wine tech then started blending.
He is quite technical in his wines.
The 2009 vintage still has some time left but quite drinkable now.
Great wine.

This wine is impossible. Thor's barbells balanced on a tightrope with a dancing bear on the other end. Such power. Such grace. Intoxicating, concentrated peach and nectarine sorbet are matched with lime and tangerine sour rock candy. White tea, jasmine, and honeysuckle flowers effuse. Everything is staggeringly intense, but the wine really kicks into 5th gear when the heady saffron and porcini Botrytis-driven aromatics hit. I don't even care that I'm mixing metaphors, but it's a peacock in full show. Take a sip and watch the nuclear-powered laser of the wine's acid seamlessly resolve the lush texture given by the wine's hundreds of grams of residual sugar. I had no idea TBA could have a dry finish, but here we are. I would love to see a tech sheet for this wine. One of the most unbelievable, amazing wines I've ever tried. — 9 years ago

Good luck with that. Your best bet may be dinner at Aureole. That's a twofer.

A very forward and seductive wine all purchased fruit and only 3 barrels produced david rudnick a Californian that I has transplanted in 1992 with his family formerly in the tech business and fell in love with wine while studying in Italy. A light and savory wine with silky smooth tannins and a light savory finish notes of red licorice spice. Very nuanced through the finish. Excellent — 10 years ago

Don't let the boring low tech label fool you. This is a snappy little IPA with an uncharacteristically buttery mouth feel and ever so subtle citrus overtone on moderately bitter base. Yeah. Triangulate on that. — 9 years ago

Château Fuisse

Tête de Cru Pouilly-Fuisse Chardonnay 2011

Acacia and lemon, with light oak backbone, slightly oily but mostly show up on mineral side. Some tech data I found. It is a blend from about 40 parcels from Fuisse & Pouilly, and each of them is vinified separately. After blend is created part of it, is aged in oak barrels (mostly old barrels) and around 30% is stored in stainless steel to retain minerality and fruitiness. Blending tech seems to work resulting reach, fresh and balanced wine. — 9 years ago
