La Bastide Saint-Dominique

Les Hespérides Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2013

Nose has smokey dry earth, dry lavender, old licorice, dried black cherry, ripe black currant, dried blackberry and (light) dried oak.

Palate has silky dried blackberry, ripe plum, black currant jam, (light) dark chocolate, dried blueberry and light tannins. Mouth coating texture. Future bottles should be 2023+

50% Grenache & 50% Mourvédre

Paired with a bottom round beef roast, slow cooked 8+ hours with autumn root vegetables and the au jus from the roast, thickened with a little of my own tomato paste, delicious.

Haven’t had a CdP in a minute, this makes me thirsty for one! On an unrelated notes love the new profile pic 😻

Thanks. Not big CdP drinkers here, as most need time to settle. Household storage bottles are recent, so they're sleeping. Have enough older versions, but they are off-site, so hard to PnP, planning required.
Not a 'new' pic, been rocking it for several weeks. Until Julia and Team push out the Android update to address the first round of bugs on their new version, I can't update it. I'm going to work thru all of the fur-kids once I have the ability to change it again.

Old vines make a huge difference. One of the best CDP's I have had. Great with prime rib.

Bought the last three bottles from Mathieu to drink while in the area. Just a lovely CdP blanc. Had this same vintage at L’Arbe à Vins in each of the last three trips to Vaucluse. — 7 years ago

Causse du Bousquet Saint-Chinian Red Blend

2014. One of the best Syrah-dominant Languedoc blends I've had. Perfect acidity matched to balanced alcohol, tannin and fruit. Kudos to Isabelle and Mathieu Champart. Stellar! — 9 years ago

Dominio de Valdepusa Petit Verdot 2006

100% petit verdot. This followed the 2010 Bastide Saint-Dominique CdP, which provided the intended contrast in styles, but probably created unrealistic expectations. Immediately I was surprised at how old this wine smelled and tasted. (We decanted for an hour.) Interestingly it was evocative of a much, much older right bank Bordeaux than a 10 year old petit verdot. The harness of the grape is gone, and this is much more approachable that I would have guessed. This would no doubt confuse everyone in a blind tasting. — 9 years ago

I loved this. Earthy, barnyard, chewy. That great Provençal garrigue. Calls for a hearty dinner. — 10 years ago
