Really nice color still, from a vintage lacking accolades, yet Rudi made a really fine little CdR this vintage, medium-long finish, very good! Cepage here is 50% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 15% Carignan, 10% Cinsault, 5% Counoise; in these earlier days, before Rudi segregated his Lirac fruit from his other CdR fruit (both in this CdR and in the “Baron Louis” CdR), this CdR was a screaming value with great quality; however, I now much prefer the basic Lirac and “Baron Louis” Lirac to the regular CdR still being produced at this domaine!! — 2 years ago

Sure, it’s a gimmicky label, sure it’s a no name, importer brand Mosel- but for under 13$, a nicely balanced kabinet style ( but Qba) reisling. For the Mrs, rs & acid the right way. I’d be curious who supplies the grapes — 4 years ago

Can’t imagine paying $100+ for this, but it is a viscous, layered, tropical stunner. Pineapple and apricot spread to every corner of the palate with a long, luxurious finish. Teriyaki glazed pork? Soup dumplings? What to pair this with? Awesome wine with another fifteen years ahead of it. — 6 years ago

Classic Riesling diesel nose, then interesting green pepper on the palate. — 7 years ago

Was certain it was muscadet. Low weight, heavy acid. Pocket change flavor, all kinds of lemon, some peach no oak. Has a kind of color that implied possible lees or age to me so I guessed 2-3 years old with lees. No spice. This is a glugger — 8 years ago

Very easy drinking, a lovely white for a Sauv Blanc lover and complimented Mexican very well. Recommended blu the house. Thanks Rudi. — 8 years ago

Beautiful bubbles. Salted pears and lemon zest with great structure and tiny bubbles. Great persistence and palate presence and just shy of champagne depth. Well done, Rudi! — 10 years ago

You can tell this is an absolutely gorgeous wine but may be in a muted phase right now. Pure, pristine mineral. Nectarine. Cuts like glass. — 3 years ago

So...I ordered Gruner and didn’t realize I was drinking Riesling until looking back at this photo. That explains what it was off. Nothing to add except the tables enjoyed it. — 7 years ago

En Magnum, purchased from le Petit Baron de Montfaucon at the winery. Absolutely lovely and still should develop, nowadays Rudi (des Pins) labels this as a Lirac, lovely balance, medium-long finish, wonderful CdR!! — 3 years ago

Nose displays white peach, green apple, lime, ripe starfruit, touch a dry hay, and hint of honey. The palate, bright and lively, is a bit leaner than the medium to fu body suggests. Fascinating bitter sweet on the finish.
Should drink more GV. — 4 years ago

Lovely soft redfruits, great balance and restraint, a blend of 15 Rhône varietals (including white grapes), great acidity, a very fine southern Rhône rouge from a good vintage!! (Disclosure: My brother imports this wine and I am friends with Rudi, the proprietor of Montfaucon.) — 6 years ago

Petrol-forward, slightly oxidized nose. Massively floral, great ripeness. Peach, honey, golden apple, electric mouthfeel and taut with minerality. Impeccable concentration of fruit- such intensity yet so much delicacy. Superb with my green shrimp curry. One of my favorite producers from the Rudi Wiest portfolio, particularly for its value. — 7 years ago

Wine-guy lemonade!

This bottle is true to form. Bright with lingering acidity & slight effervescence, yet rounded with developing honeyed orange, candied apricot, and sharp green pear notes. Was curious on how 2011's were coming along so I pulled the cork. Recommended one serving per bottle.
