Robert Michel he is something of an institution when it comes to Cornas and its wines. Actually 2006 it's been his last vintage before retirement, even though he has continued to help and give advice to the young and gifted winemaker Guillaume Gilles. Cuvée des Coteaux here it comes from two parcels: Les Chaillots and Le Quartier de Renard. Michel used to make severe, uncompromised, traditionally austere and long-lived wines. Manual harvest, gentle fermentation with the entire stems, wine ageing in larger sized demi-muid cask. A pity that such a majestic vigneron doesn't make such one-shot wines any more. Though, what a patriarchal wine here we've got: power and delicacy at the same time in this 2006; purity, unsophisticated class is all I love in those kind of wines. Well, what else? Dionysus bless Michel and his solemn beverage in time and in eternity. — 9 years ago

CVed 12/29/16. As I remember it from years ago. Funky earthy notes and darker cherry notes that carry through to palate and long finish. Different wine from other three. Opened 1/21/17 at MRs dinner. Tasting the same. Crowd favorite. — 9 years ago

2005 vintage. It's from Corsica. This is my last of three bottles bought from Garagiste back when they regularly offered fascinating stuff like this, before they jumped the shark. It was the first and last time they ever offered this wine despite my repeatedly prodding them to do so again after I opened my first two early on. I was floored then - it was like drinking a Truchot, almost impossibly light and gossamer. I've been holding on to this last bottle for years, afraid to open it as I didn't want to ruin that perfect memory. Shouldn't have worried, this is still great. And in fact it's aging very much like a Burgundy, although tasting more mature than a Burgundy of a similar age would be, and it's oddly put on a substantial amount of weight: the color's deeper and the material denser than before. It starts out with slightly spiky acidity that needs a bit of time to sort itself out. Then it has a fresh green aroma, full of Alpine herbs. Then it turns deeper, more savory and earthy, with mushroom and saddle leather, very much like a Burgundy knocking on the door of a tertiary period. It has a very fresh acidic spine with a juiciness that brings to mind orange or tangerine, not ordinarily the type of acidity that you see in a red wine. That adds a youthful perspective to a profile that otherwise feels fairly developed. But the most remarkable thing about it is the texture and sleek, slender proportions, not much changed since those bottles years ago that felt like drinking Jacky Truchot. Won't somebody consider importing this wine again? — 10 years ago
