Saint Chinian, Languedoc

V. S. A. Limoux

Brut Saint-Hilaire Blanquette de Limoux Mauzac 2023

The Monastery where Bubbly production all began around 500 years ago. Primarily Mauzac with small amounts of Chardonnay and Chenin Blanc blended in. Medium gold color. Aromas of orchard and citrus fruit with hints of white flowers and raw nuts. Flavors of juicy green apples and pears, granite dust and lemon zest. Slight vegetal note on the long palate cleansing finish. Plenty of bubbles but not in a steady stream. Creamy mousse that does dissipate rather quickly. Medium body and texture. Quite lively! Excellent QPR! Love the history. — 4 days ago

Prieuré Saint-Hippolyte Languedoc Grenache Viognier Rosé

Prieure Saint-Hippolyte - Languedoc - Blanc

50% Grenache Blanc, 25% Viognier, 25% Vermentino

Nice fresh fruit, dry, Peach, pear, floral, wax, stones.

Not the biggest, baddest, longest aging wine ever, but... a very well made Languedoc Blanc to be enjoyed now, under $15.

Guessing 11-12.5% ABV (label range 11-14), went nicely with an omelette dinner.

9.0

A second Acker buy. CVed with first 3/25/20. Lighter and medium bodied wine that’s balanced and good pairing for lots of food. Got that stimulating texture of the Southern Rhône blend. Great buy! AA5. Opened 6/6/20 very fresh texture still with the lighter not so complex red berry notes that paired very well with Amah bone soup with highly watered down Kimchee. Relatively simple but still a good pairing wine. 70 Grenache 30 Syrah. — 6 years ago

Brut Blanquette de Limoux Mauzac Blend 2022

Some leftover bubbles from NYE. Nothing fancy, but I'm easy to please on Saturday morning. Going to enjoy this with some quiche for brunch.

Light gold color. Melons, minerals, and stone on the nose. Complex on the palate but not my style. Usually love this wine, but maybe this bottle is different. Medium plus depth and finish. — a year ago

Château Saint-Roch

Kerbuccio Maury Sec Grenache Syrah 2020

Delectable, this is Chateau Saint-Roch's Kerbuccio grenache blend. Nice wine that's full bodied and heavy. Good for this evening's cool temps. Plum, blueberry, tobacco, spice. Soft and short finish, but very enjoyable. I had the cheaper counterpart the other night, and this one scores a point higher. Also 65% Grenache 35% Syrah.

Tête de Bélier Saint-Drézéry Red Blend 2015

The clay & limestone soils of Languedoc-Roussilon develop this soft and rich blend of 70% Syrah, 20% Grenache, 8% Mourvèdre, 2% Carignan. The Château Puech-Haut - Tête de Bélier red offers lots of black fruit, minerality with herbs on the finish. A nice surprise! — 6 years ago
