Cork And Bottle

Medium intensity, rich ruby red, floral on the nose along with red fruit, earthy mushroom undertones and slight hints of chocolate. In the palate light mouth feel, full of fruit, strawberries and cherry. No to light tannin, medium acid compliments the earthy after taste. Amazing with goats cheese, cherry tomatoes on pane do casa or with quince paste. — 6 years ago

An 80/20 blend of Grenache/Syrah from 50 year old vines planted in red clay and limestone. There’s a distinctively tropical lift embedded in this alluring mixture of red fruit, rose petal, lavender, stone, and garrigue. A charmer, both intellectually and hedonistically. — 8 years ago

Robert Michel he is something of an institution when it comes to Cornas and its wines. Actually 2006 it's been his last vintage before retirement, even though he has continued to help and give advice to the young and gifted winemaker Guillaume Gilles. Cuvée des Coteaux here it comes from two parcels: Les Chaillots and Le Quartier de Renard. Michel used to make severe, uncompromised, traditionally austere and long-lived wines. Manual harvest, gentle fermentation with the entire stems, wine ageing in larger sized demi-muid cask. A pity that such a majestic vigneron doesn't make such one-shot wines any more. Though, what a patriarchal wine here we've got: power and delicacy at the same time in this 2006; purity, unsophisticated class is all I love in those kind of wines. Well, what else? Dionysus bless Michel and his solemn beverage in time and in eternity. — 10 years ago

"Le Plaisir" Pays d'Oc Pinot Noir 2015
88/100 - Our Score
(9/2016) Real Pinot Noir at a great price. This cuvee was bottled exclusively for our Chicago-based importer by Guillaume Gonnet, co-owner of Font de Michelle in Chateauneuf du Pape. Fresh, fruit-forward and soft, this is a best-in-category value. — 9 years ago
