Le Colombier Beqaa Valley Cinsault Blend 2015

Very light shade of red, mix of red fruits with what seems to mostly be raspberries, does not taste like a %14.5 alcohol volume, light tannings but well built for 2018 wine, very smooth and easy to drink — 2 months ago

Domaine du Colombier

Hermitage Syrah 2017

2017 vintage. Last tasted 6.1.22 with same score. Perfume of fennel, Chambord, lavender, ripe dark plum and dusty bookshelf. Moonless, winter night color. Medium-heavy body. Gamey and mineralesque but otherwise, clean on the finish. A very light Reposado tequila pop up flavoring approx 45 seconds after savoring the finish. No, haven’t had any tequila in months. 10.30.23. — 7 months ago

Lou Cantoun White Blend 2021

Interesting blend of Clairette, Chardonnay, Chasselas, and Cinsault. Quite a bit of sediment. Fun to try. — 10 months ago

Domaine du Colombier (Jouvault)

Cuvée Vieilles Vignes Chinon Cabernet Franc 2021

May not have the character of say a Baudry or Raffault Chinon, but still a profoundly true-to-terroir Chinon with all that fine grained dark berry earthiness, low on the funko-meter, & just plain ol’ low alcohol fun. Paired with brunch cheesy egg casserole of Gruyère, nutmeg, Parmesan etc that soaks overnight in Half & Half. — 4 months ago

Château Haut-Colombier

Blaye Red Bordeaux Blend 2019

Berries, twigs, spices. Balancing acidity. Good! An extra year of age improved this. 90. — 7 months ago

Lou Maset Coteaux du Languedoc Montpeyroux 2021

A bit bitter on its own, balances itself out when paired with a fatty meat (in this case, a Basque region raised pork loin). — 5 months ago

Michel Gassier

Lou Coucardié Costières-de-Nîmes Red Rhone Blend

Dark red fruits, dark chocolates and some meaty aromas. This is a great wine that will get better with age. We’re going to enjoy this with Christmas leftovers! — 5 months ago

Costières-de-Nîmes Lou Coucardie Blanc

Potent yellow colour. Rich, almost Chardonnay like despite being a mix of roussanne-Grenache blanc-Viognier, and string body. I really like this one. 4/2-2023 (home) — a year ago
