Foire D'avignon

Seven of Hearts

Chatte d'Avignon Roussanne

This is the 2009 vintage I had at Tina's in Dundee last week. Ridiculously tasty, well aged with bright acidity. I think Michael may have a couple more in the cellar. — 10 years ago

Seven of Hearts

Chatte d'Avignon Columbia Valley Grenache Blend 2013

Lighter red wine with a ripe cherry-juice nose. Slightly sour cherry and blackberry flavors. The clarity of fruit and balanced flavors should age well for at least 5 years — 10 years ago

Pont d'Avignon

Côtes du Rhône Red Rhone Blend 2003

Picked up two of these little gems at a Goody Goody clearance- opened one tonight after work: what a steal! It's still interestingly tannic, though they're soft. Quite mouth filling , with ripe cherry/ berry fruits, tobacco and baking spices. Rustic for sure.
For a 2003, I'm digging it! 70%syrah/30%grenache

Leclere-Pointillart

Champagne Premier Cru Pinot Noir Chardonnay 2005

At restaurant Le Millenaire at Reims. I found this gem where I should never expected it at a local feast in Nothern France for garliclovers... Foire a l'Ail in Arleux last year. Now I know that Reims based Michelin starred chef Laurent Laplaige is the cousin of the winemaker. It's on his winelist and was a real treat at lunch. Excellent with 'Le gnochetti facon risotto aux coques de beurre d'algues' #recommended — 10 years ago
