Domaine La Garrigue

Domaine Léon Barral

Valinière Faugères Mourvedre Syrah 2012

Ganska sval upplevelse med en elegant rödbärighet. Betydligt mer drickbart nu än -13. Björnbär och garrigue. — 7 years ago

Domaine de Ferrand

Châteauneuf du Pape Red Rhone Blend 2012

Rich, ripe and dense fruit on the nose. Raspberry, strawberry and plum aromas with hints of garrigue and white pepper. Big and lush on palate with jammy fruit tones and round soft tannins. A bit primary and was hoping for more complexity. Well balanced so interested to see how this ages. — 8 years ago

Château de Beaucastel

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhône Blend 2006

Deep and complex with focused blue fruit, garrigue, stony and almost smoky. Beautiful complexity and definitely showing some secondary notes, but the acidity (at least of this bottle) was pretty high still and didn't start to integrate until 4 hours in the decanter. Plenty of life left to hold onto bottles for 5-10 years. — 9 years ago

Château Simone

Palette Red Rhone Blend

Cherry liqueur, blackberry compote, garrigue, dried tarragon, violets, green peppercorns, wet stones, clay. Vibrant rounded acidity, medium-full bodied, juicy-satin texture, mild rough velvet tannins, long herbal, fruity finish. Balanced fruit, earthy notes, wonderfully herbal on the palate. This one will be special with you extended cellaring time. Decanting recommended. — 7 years ago

Réserve des Célestins Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2000

Dried strawberry, garrigue and brett... My score reflects my bias against this region — 9 years ago

Château de Lascaux

J. B. Cavalier Garrigue Languedoc Red Blend

Deep baked dark fruit on the nose. Bloody and jammy in the mouth with lots of garrigue and afternotes of charred meat. A bit of green olive. — 9 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! — 10 years ago

Les Quartz Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2014

Captures the elegance of Grenache and the 2014s. Pure ripe and confiture fruit, almost liquor like, underpinning of minerals, garrigue, and herbs. Drank too quickly as it needed more aeration — 8 years ago

Domaine la Casenove

La Garrigue Côtes Catalanes Red Blend 2010

Very nice Rhone-style blend -- Syrah / Carignan / Grenache. Really enjoying with Christmas celebration! — 8 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 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. — 10 years ago
