Up front the nose was brioche, which lead to a butter citrus pith. Round, taut, And delightfully “here, there, everywhere”.

Haut-Bailly Dinner in SF with Veronique Sanders of Haut-Bailly.
The 2012 is living up to its reviews. It’s good & well priced. The dark fruits are ripe, juicy, cola notes, menthol, dark, moist, turned earth. Drinking nicely now but, still a hold for another 5 years plus.
Served with Coq au Vin. Baby Carrots, Mushrooms, Pearl Onions & Red Wine Sauce. Mathilde French Bistro

Nez de poivre, assez Syrah au nez qui est quand même discret. Bouche toute en finesse, texture de soie, fruits noirs un peu, tout en classe et en équilibre. Très belle bouteille. 92-93
Pepper and some dark fruits on the nose and palate that is soft, classy, elegant and deep still, very nice bottle. — 7 months ago
Viognier, Grenache Blanc, Roussanne, Marsanne.
Floral, pear, citrus, peach, golden grass. 13.5% ABV
Based on this wine, Duché D’Uzes is the Santa Barbara region of California. All notes considered, the peach notes of Grenache Blanc are amazing,and hard to find the equivalent of outside of Santa Barbara (and Paso Robles).
Most definitely has my vote in the $15 range — 3 years ago
