Domaine La Garrigue

Domaine de la Janasse

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2015

Brambles, garrigue. Lovely already. 2015 is a vintage to go deep on CdP. — 8 years ago

Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe

La Crau Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2009

Red and black fruits, spice, garrigue. Prominent alcohol detracts from the finish. — 9 years ago

Clos Saint Jean

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2011

Nose: all the aromatic flavours of excellent Grenache first - then loads of spiciness, garrigue, elegant oak, roasted meat, black fruit (black currant, cherries)
Palate: very very fine and silky tannins, medium to high body, red/black fruit, nice oak, great complexity

Domaine Charvin

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhône Blend 2009

Fragrant nose, black fruits and garrigue. Full, fleshy body, broad and strong without being overbearing. Could use a few more years to settle but pretty good now. — 11 years ago

Domaine du Cayron

Gigondas Red Rhone Blend 2012

Crystalline character to the red fruit, and while this is a large wine there is very little sense of heaviness. No heat on the finish (this makes me giddy). Dusty fine Grenache tannins. Something feral and wild, sweet skunky earthiness (the garrigue manifests as a rosemary, tarragon, sweet fennel odor that is perfectly beguiling). What a regal Southern rhone wine; what a vintage! It will be so hard not to drink these and allow then to blossom! — 11 years ago

Domaine Léon Barral

Valinière Faugères Mourvedre Syrah 2012

Ganska sval upplevelse med en elegant rödbärighet. Betydligt mer drickbart nu än -13. Björnbär och garrigue. — 8 years ago

Château de Lascaux

J. B. Cavalier Garrigue Languedoc Red Blend

Château Rayas

Réservé Châteauneuf-du-Pape Grenache Blend 1988

An earth driven nose with overtones of garrigue. This wine was terroir driven vs fruit driven. Compared to the other vintages I found this wine benefited the least from air. — 11 years ago

Clos Fantine

Faugères Natural Wine Carignan Blend 2012

Domaine Jamet

Côte-Rôtie Syrah 2011

Très belle Syrah, épicée, garrigue, olive noire, au nez.
En bouche beaucoup d'élégance, une finale longue.
Très beau vin que l'on prend beaucoup de plaisir à déguster dès aujourd'hui mais qui doit être intéressant à laisser vieillir, seul bémol le prix!

Domaine Tempier

Bandol Mourvedre Blend 2011

Garrigue herbs, floral notes and warm fruits with a touch of licorice. Great structure and medium tannins will allow for good aging. The 2011 vintage is more herbaceous and less fruit-forward than is past years, and still too young - took an age of decanting to get it to shine. Dont open yet - hold. Lots of potential. — 11 years ago
