From an estate just a stone's throw across the river from highly esteemed vineyards of Châteauneuf du Pape. The winemaker, Rodolphe de Pins, is a UC Davis grad and one of the former winemakers from Vieux Telegraphe. This wine's pedigree and classic style shows through. Complex and layered with notes of cherry, blackberry, garrigue, and pepper. It continues to bloom with another layer of floral, pine needles, and cedar. Lingering tannins and vibrant acidity polish the lustrous finish. The 2010 vintage was exceptional for the Southern Rhone, this wine included. — 10 years ago
赤白セット。しっかりした味わい。 — 12 years ago
The aroma and flavor are quite tricky to describe because not like any other flavors we commonly know, but the most pronounced aspect of the wine is its texture, which is soft, so much so that it's first touch on the palate is almost unnoticeable, but then it builds, specifically with the emergence of tannins and an ever so slight spiciness. I want to believe however that the aroma and flavor are ineffable because they're only comparable to other wines from the Loire--it's not cherry or black pepper or whatever--rather, it's simply a great wine representative of its terroir. It just tastes like wine to me, and a great wine. It should also be noted that it's not rich--it's instead quite subtle. — 10 years ago

150508 @ La ville de pins Fantasia Grange tasting 4. Brown Brothers. Patricia. C/S 2004
진한 검정색에 가까운 레드색에 오크터치와 스파이시한 향의 밸런스가 거의 환상적으로
다가 옵니다. 호수 카쇼에서 이정도 밸런스를 보여주는 와인은 Penfolds BIN707정도가 생각이
나더군요.
두툼한 타닌에 비해 실키하고 매끄러운 재질감이 돋보인 와인이였습니다. — 10 years ago
