Domaine Mourgues du Grès Die Weine der Familie Collard haben sich in den letzten Jahren zu echten Favoriten meines Sortiments entwickelt . Auch wer Spitzen-Rhôneweine kauft, wird nicht umhin können, einen oder mehrere Kartons dieses Weins kaufen und trinken zu wollen. Dies ist auch nicht wirklich erstaunlich, denn diese Weine können auch im Vergleich mit den wirklich großen Weinen der Gegend erstaunlich gut mithalten. Die Frucht ist immer präzise, auch bei den sehr mächtigen Cuvées hat man nicht das Gefühl überreifer Trinkmarmelade, die Tannine sind markant und die Aromatik ist durch die reife Syrah von dunklen Früchten geprägt.Robert Parker übertreibt nicht, wenn er meint, daß der Name von Mourgues du Grès ganz einfach für Qualität bürgt: "This is one of my favorite estates, ... and just about anything with their name on it is a sign of quality." 2007 war für Mourges du Grès ein hervorragender Jahrgang, wo Parker dem "einfachen" Galets Rouges und dem Terre d`Argence sensationelle 92 Punkte gab. Die demnächst eintreffenden 2009er sind ebenbürtige Nachfolger. |

Ich bin mir nicht sicher, ob Robert Parker über den selben Wein schreibt. Mir gefällt an dieser Domaine ihr ungekünstelter Stil, der so deutlich von den auf Eindruck bemühten Weinen vieler südlicher Appellationen abweicht. Im Gegensatz zu vielen Weinen der Gegend ist der Vacqueyras von Brunely kein weicher Fruchtsaft sondern klar strukturiert, mit kirschiger rotbeeriger Frucht und deutlichem Gerbstoff. Hervorragendes Potential zu einem sensationell günstigen Preis.. |

| 89-92 Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate, Dec 2004 One of the top performers in my Vacqueyras tasting, this 2003 exhibits a dense ruby/purple color along with a sweet, pure nose of kirsch liqueur, black currants, licorice, and earth. Savory, full-bodied flavors reveal low acidity, considerable concentration, a multilayered texture, and a persistent finish that lasts over 40 seconds. | |||
| Domaine Saint-Pierre | |||
|
Die Domaine Saint-Pierre hat wie viele erst in den letzten Jahren begonnen, die
Qualität ihrer Lagen zu nutzen. Innerhalb kürzester Zeit konnte
Jean-Francois Fauque die Aufmerksamkeit und den Respekt der französischen
und internationalen Weinpresse gewinnen. Die Domaine umfasst insgesamt 50ha, überwiegend Côtes du Rhône und Landwein, wirklich interessant sind hier aber die Filetstücke der Domaine, 4,5 ha in Vacqueyras und 3,5 ha Côtes du Rhône Villages Plan de Dieu. Mich hat sofort der sehr strukturierte Stil der Weine begeistert, der nicht nur Resultat der alten Weingärten ist, sondern vor allem von dem hohen Anteil von Mourvèdre und Syrah herrührt. Die Weine brauchen also auch ein bißchen Zeit und Jean-Francois Fauque hat es auch selbst nicht so eilig die Weine schnell abzufüllen - sowohl Vacqueyras als auch der Côtes du Rhône Villages kommen wie große Brüder aus Châteauneuf oder Gigondas erst nach fast zwei Jahren in die Flasche! Robert Parker: "An exciting discovery for me, Domaine Saint-Pierre, ... has produced two sensational sleepers of the vintage." |

It should be consumed over the next 5-8 years. | |||

Für mich
war dieses
Weingut 2005 die totale Neuentdeckung und die große Überraschung im
südlichen Rhônetal, eine Erwartung die sich auch bei den aktuellen
Jahrgängen bestätigt. Joel Saurels Weine erinnern mich an eine
Gigondas-Version von Pégaü.
Auch wenn das jetzt sehr hochtrabend klingt und große Erwartungen weckt,
hier gibt es nur 12ha alter Weingärten und mehr oder weniger traditionelle Kellertechnik. Das Ergebnis sind
kraftvolle und komplexe Gigondas-Weine mit einer starken Betonung des
Tanningerüsts, die perfekte Kombination würziger Grenache-Frucht und
einem markanten Anteil Mourvèdre für die Struktur und den dunklen Kern. Bis vor kurzem war das Weingut außerhalb Frankreichs nahezu unbekannt und ist daher international ein richtiger Newcomer. Lediglich im französischen Guide Hachette erhielten die Weine wiederholt die höchste Auszeichung, den Coup de Coeur. Mittlerweile haben aber auch internationale Beobachter Notiz von dieser Domaine genommen und die Bewertungen bestätigen meine Eindrücke: hier entstehen charaktervolle, langlebige und unglaublich preiswerte Weine, die für mich zum Besten des südlichen Rhônetales gehören. Robert Parker hat es beim Jahrgang 2007 (endlich) im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes umgehaut, die Punkte sind ihm irgendwie aus der Feder gerutscht und das verdientermaßen für diese Serie überragender Weine. Ein echter Geheimtipp hier ist der Côtes du Rhône Vieilles Vignes, der sich nach dem fulminanten 2007er (93 ! Parker-Punkte) in den aktuellen Jahrgängen noch um eine Spur präziser und eleganter präsentiert. Kein Wunder, denn die Selektion der besten alten Reben wurde noch strikter und die jüngeren Reben wurden in einen Vin de Table (de)klassiert. Daß der gesamte Betrieb in Umstellung auf Biodynamik (AB Agriculture Biologique) ist, verwundert da nicht mehr. |

| 91-92 Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate, Oct 2010 The 2009 Cotes du Rhone Vieilles Vignes is 90% Grenache and the rest Mourvedre and Carignan, aged in cement tank and tipping the scales at 14.8% alcohol. The average age of the vines, from the stony soils of the Plan de Dieu, is 50 years. This is another full-bodied, superbly concentrated wine with the classic black cherry marmalade/kirsch notes intermixed with licorice, spring flowers, pepper, and a hint of garrigue. This ripe, full-bodied wine is opulent, voluptuously textured, long and rich. Both of these wines over-deliver significantly for an appellation as humble as the Cotes du Rhone, but that is the great beauty of this vast area of southern France. | |||

The
only Gigondas that Saurel made in 2008 is the 2008 Gigondas Vieilles
Vignes. One of the finest wines I tasted in what is a very difficult year
for the appellation, it offers delicious ripe black fruit, spring flower,
and crushed rock characteristics as well as a surprisingly opulent, dense
style with outstanding concentration, texture, and length. Consume it over
the next 7-8 years. 90 Josh Reynolds - International Wine Cellar, Mar 2011 Dark ruby. Deeply pitched dark berries and dried flowers on the nose, with a brighter red fruit quality emerging with air. Spicy raspberry and blackberry flavors coat the palate, with zesty acidity providing lift. This shows good heft for an '08. Offers expansive, alluringly sweet dark fruit and floral notes on the finish, leaving a gentle spicy note behind. |

The
2007 Gigondas Vieilles Vignes, a blend of 80% Grenache and 20% Mourvedre
from 40-year-old vines, boasts a saturated ruby/purple color as well as an
exquisite bouquet of incense, crushed rocks, charcoal, black raspberries,
kirsch, and blackberries, an incredibly broad, savory mouthfeel, stunning
density, and a finish that goes on for 40+ seconds. This remarkable
offering is one of the most prodigious wines I have ever tasted from
Gigondas. It should drink well for two decades or more. 90-93 Josh Reynolds - International Wine Cellar, Jan/Feb 2009 Inky purple. Wild, pungent aromas of dark berries, olive, garrigue and smoky minerals. Dense dark berry flavors show medium body and a chewy texture, with dusty tannins adding grip. Serious stuff, finishing with excellent cut and focus. |

The
well-made 2006 Gigondas Vieilles Vignes’ deep ruby/purple hue is
followed by aromas of black cherries, raspberries, spring flowers, earth,
and spice. Not as extravagantly rich as the 2007, it is a medium-bodied,
well-balanced wine to consume over the next 7-8 years.
90-91 Josh Reynolds - International Wine Cellar, Jan/Feb 2009 (80% grenache and 20% mourvedre, from vines averaging over 50 years of age) Dark ruby. Ripe raspberry and blackcurrant aromas are complicated by smoked meat, licorice and dark chocolate. Fleshy and smooth, with deep dark berry preserve flavors and a subtle note of candied licorice. The lingering fruit is joined by a zesty cracked pepper quality. |

Oct 2009 The
inky/purple-tinged, multidimensional 2007 Gigondas Les Souteyrades may be
even better. Composed of 80% Grenache and 20% Mourvedre cropped at 25
hectoliters per hectare, from 60-year-old vines, it boasts a blueberry,
blackberry, charcoal, licorice, truffle, scorched earth, and spring
flower-scented perfume, phenomenal purity, and a long finish. This
blockbuster Gigondas possesses extraordinary focus given the freshness and
good acids provided by the vintage as well as incredibly well-integrated
tannins. 91-94 Josh Reynolds - International Wine Cellar, Jan/Feb 2009 Dark purple. Primary, brooding scents of blackberry skin, cassis, licorice root and cracked pepper. Very spicy on the palate, displaying sweet dark berry and kirsch flavors and firm tannic grip. The dark berry notes repeat on the impressively long finish of this young but highly promising wine. Deep ruby. Strawberry and kirsch aromas are lifted by a strongly floral component of fresh rose and lavender. Dense and surprisingly weighty, with sweet red fruit flavors, youthful tannic structure and a powerful, chewy finish. This is an excellent cellaring candidate. |

Robert Parker - The

Feb 2009 A
candidate for “wine of the vintage,” the 2006 Gigondas Les Souteyrades
possesses superb notes of jammy strawberries, black cherries, raspberries,
flowers, and a crushed rock-like minerality. This full-bodied, pure,
layered 2006 does not display the compelling richness of the 2007, but it
is a beautiful wine that is already drinking well. It should evolve for a
decade or more. 91-92 Josh Reynolds - International Wine Cellar, Jan/Feb 2008 (same blend as the Vieilles Vignes, from 60-year-old vines) Saturated ruby. Deep blackberry and cassis aromas are brightened by sexy floral and incense notes. Brighter raspberry and cherry on the palate, with sweet lavender pastille and mineral qualities adding more energy. The finish at once gently sweet and sharply focused, not to mention impressively long. |

2005 Gigondas Les Souteyrades had more earth, tree bark, and terroir notes
than the La Louisiane. It is full-bodied, rich, with zesty acidity, high
but ripe tannin, and a textured, long personality. It will be interesting
to see how it performs post-bottling. 91 (+?) Josh Reynolds - International Wine Cellar, Jan/Feb 2008 Deep ruby. Strawberry and kirsch aromas are lifted by a strongly floral component of fresh rose and lavender. Dense and surprisingly weighty, with sweet red fruit flavors, youthful tannic structure and a powerful, chewy finish. This is an excellent cellaring candidate. |

The
2007 Gigondas Louisiane (80% Grenache, 15% Mourvedre, and 5% Cinsault from
70- to 80-year-old vines) merited 98 points at one tasting, but I’ll be
conservative here. This amazing wine possesses a dense purple color as
well as an extraordinary nose of a liqueur of rocks intermixed with
cassis, kirsch, licorice, incense, and spring flowers. Made from
incredibly low yields of 22 hectoliters per hectare (which no doubt
explains the remarkable focus, concentration, richness, and 50-second
finish), this historic Gigondas is a tour de force in winemaking. It
should drink well for 20+ years. 92 (+?) Josh Reynolds - International Wine Cellar, Jan/Feb 2008 Deep ruby. Powerful dark berry preserve aromas are complemented by dark chocolate, espresso and anise. There's an admirable sweetness to this wine's weighty blackberry and cassis flavors. Tightens up on the finish but doesn't become hard, as the tannins are serious but supple. Leaves behind a lush dark fruit quality. Give this a few years in the cellar. |

Ein spannendes Projekt wiederum von Jérôme Malet und Frédéric Engerer,
die scheinbar nicht ausgelastet sind oder der Herausforderungen nicht
müde werden. Im nördlichsten Eck des südlichen Rhônetals in der Nähe
von Nyons haben die beiden ein altes vernachlässigtes Weingut gekauft und
wieder zum Leben erweckt. Im Moment sind nur wenige Hektar der besten
alten Reben des insgesamt 40ha großen Gutes im Ertrag. Der Rest wurde
gerodet und wird in den nächsten Jahren je nach Beschaffenheit der Böden
wieder mit Reben bestockt, teilweise wurden aber auch Olivenbäume und
Trüffeleichen ausgepflanzt. Im Moment ist das Gut in der Umstellung auf agriculture
biologique. Auch wenn der Wein hier nur als Côtes du Rhône etikettiert wird, das Ergebnis aus 80% Grenache und 20% Syrah ausgebaut in gebrauchten Barriques (natürlich) von Château Latour ist ein kraftvoller aber ungewöhnlich subtiler finessenreicher Wein. |

André Brunel´s
Weine sind so kontinuierlich und zuverlässig gut, daß es schon fast
langweilig ist. Seine Weine brillieren nicht so sehr als
Verkostungssensationen sondern in erster Linie durch Balance und
Trinkvergnügen, brauchen den Vergleich mit den großen Bombern aber nicht
zu scheuen.
Paradebeispiel für die grandiose Qualität der 2007er finden sich hier
aber nicht nur im Stammhaus, Les Cailloux. Auch die Weine von
Féraud-Brunel sind in diesem Jahr auf einem Niveau, das man normalerweise
nur von den Spitzenwinzern der Region kennt. Ich muß gestehen, daß ich die
Kooperation von André Brunel und Laurence Féraud lange Zeit wohlwollend
ignoriert habe. Bereits letztes Jahr ist mir aber aufgefallen, daß sich
die Qualität offensichtlich dramatisch gesteigert hat und dieses Jahr
sollten Sie diese Weine um keinen Preis verpassen. |

- The Rhône Report #5,
Aug 2010
Tasted
from two separate bottles, the 2008 Les Cailloux (Lucien et André Brunel)
Châteauneuf-du-Pape is an outstanding wine, offering fresh, clean notes
of violets, spice box, and leather with bright crushed berry fruit
overtones. Medium bodied with sweet, round fruit, bright acidity, and
solid balance, this should deliver plenty of pleasure over the next
decade. 90 Josh Raynolds - International Wine Cellar, Mar/Apr 2011 Vivid red. Cherry and dark berries on the nose and in the mouth, with licorice and spice nuances adding complexity. Sappy, palate-coating and seamless, displaying very good back end lift and persistent spiciness. This wine has become much more elegant since I tasted it last year. 90 Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate, Oct 2009 The classic Les Cailloux 2008 Chateauneuf du Pape is one of the vintage’s stars. Loads of garrigue, lavender, kirsch and strawberry scents jump from the glass of this dark ruby-colored wine. Silky smooth, round, easygoing and broadly textured, this is a strong effort in this difficult vintage. |

Der frühe Tod von Jean-Denis Vacheron im Jahr 2002 war für seine Familie und die Domaine du Caillou ein tragischer Verl ust, der auch unter Kunden und Freunden zu beträchtlichen Irritationen führte. Die mediale Aufmerksamkeit und Gier des Marktes nach weiteren 100-Punkte Weinen gemischt mit etwas unglücklichen Geschäftspraktiken hat auch mich zögern lassen diese Domaine weiter im Programm zu führen. Allerdings habe ich die qualitativen Bemühungen des neuen Kellermeisters Bruno Gaspard von Anbeginn an mit großem Interesse verfolgt und seine Weine überaus geschätzt.Nach zwei schwierigen Jahrgängen des Übergangs 2002 und 2003 ist es Bruno Gaspard innerhalb kurzer Zeit gelungen, stilistisch und qualitativ nahtlos an die grandiosen Jahrgänge von Jean-Denis Vacheron anzuschließen: die Balance zwischen Opulenz und Mineralität als Quintessenz der Lage des Weingutes zwischen Rayas und Beaucastel. Was mehr kann man sich in Châteauneuf wünschen? Neben den traditionellen Cuvées Bouquet des Garrigues und Les Safres gibt es für Côtes du Rhône und Châteauneuf-du-Pape jeweils zwei Terroir-Cuvées - Les Quartz (aus kieselhaltigen mineralischen Lagen, Grenache und Syrah) und La Réserve (von sandigen Böden, Grenache und Mourvèdre). Die Côtes du Rhône-Lagen haben hier ein Niveau, an das die meisten Châteauneuf-du-Pape kaum herankommen. Robert Parker: "Along with the Coudoulet of Beaucastel, ... this estate produces the finest Côtes du Rhônes of the appellation." Für mich hat in den diesjährigen Découvertes en Vallée du Rhône-Verkostungen Sylvie Vacheron neben Cristia wie bereits 2007 wieder die umfassendste und brillanteste Serie im Süden geliefert. Gegenwärtig noch in der Phase der Konversion, werden die Weingärten der Domaine mit dem Jahrgang 2010 biologisch zertifiziert. |

While the tannins are upfront, they´re ripe and fine grained, giving the wine solid texture and nice length on the finish. It´s promising, and probably worthy of 2 to 4 years in the cellar when released. | |||

| 91-93 Jeb Dunnuck - The Rhône Report #5, Aug 2010 Possessing beautiful minerality, the 2009 Le Clos du Caillou Côtes du Rhône Les Quartz comes from the stone and sandy soils just on the outskirts of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Rolled stones, tar, spice, and a subtle gamey quality comes jumping from the glass, leading into a medium+ bodied wine that´s beautifully balanced, very clean, textured and long. Given the texture and balance, this should be approachable on release and drink well for 10 to 12 years.. | |||

This has a slightly modern slant but stays firmly planted in the Southern Rhône. On the palate, the wine is medium to full bodied with fresh acidity, solid texture and a rustic, structured core. Loads of promise and a wine that shouldn´t have any problem lasting for 10 to 15 years. | |||

Bright
ruby. Redcurrant,
wild strawberry, smoke and minerals on the assertive nose. Silky and
suave, with a seductive sweetness to its red fruit flavors and building
spiciness. Broad but energetic wine that's sharpened by lively acidity and
finishes with sweet tannins and very good length. This expressive wine is
for all intents 100% grenache "but there are probably some other
things mixed into the vines. Call it 99.99%" said Gaspard. 91-93 Jeb Dunnuck - The Rhône Report #5, Aug 2010 The 2009 Le Clos du Caillou Châteauneuf-du-Pape Les Safres, 100% Grenache from sandy soils, displays perfumed, elegant aromatics of kirsch and raspberry fruit, flowers and spice. Fragrant and ripe on the nose, the wine is medium+ bodied and balanced, showing a superb texture, soft fruit and silky tannin on the finish. This should be approachable on release and be a crowd pleaser over the next decade. |

Saturated
ruby. Sexy
nose offers blackberry, spices, licorice, tobacco and potpourri. Then
suave, complex and energetic, offering sappy dark fruit and floral
pastille flavors. Aeration brings out more spiciness and intensifies the
florality. Fine-grained tannins and gentle grip highlight the long,
vibrant finish. 93-95 Jeb Dunnuck - The Rhône Report #5, Aug 2010 Impressive, the 2009 Le Clos du Caillou Châteauneuf-du-Pape Domaine du Caillou Les Quartz comes from the Cassanets vineyard and is a blend of 85% Grenache and 15% Syrah (the Syrah is aged in small barrels.) Sporting great aromatics of raspberry-laced Grenache fruit, licorice, flowers, garrigue and brilliant underlying minerality, the wine is very fresh, pure and intense. On the palate, it‟s medium bodied and possesses solid acidity, sweet, supple fruit and a long finish. |

of acidity giving the lush red and dark berry flavors energy and cut. Firm
but integrated tannins add shape to an impressively long, sweet, smoky
finish. 95-97 Jeb Dunnuck - The Rhône Report #5, Aug 2010 Coming mostly from the sandy soils of the Guigasse vineyard (there´s small amount from Pignan), the 2009 Le Clos du Caillou Châteauneuf-du-Pape Domaine du Caillou Reserve is a blend of 65% Grenache and 35% Mourvèdre. A touch more dense than the Les Quartz, this nevertheless has smoking aromatics of rich dark fruits, perfumed floral notes, spice and underlying meaty characteristics. These carry over to the palate where the wine is medium to full bodied, beautifully textured and balanced. Very clean and pure, this firms up on the finish with ripe, smooth tannin. |

Deep
red. Highly aromatic red berries and spices on the nose. Round, sappy
raspberry and cherry flavors are braced by juicy acidity and framed by
silky tannins. With its very good finishing clarity and lingering red
fruit notes, this reminds me a lot of pinot noir. 91 Jeb Dunnuck - The Rhône Report #5, Aug 2010 The best of the „08s (but not by much), the 2008 Le Clos du Caillou Châteauneuf-du-Pape Domaine du Caillou, a blend of 70% Grenache, 16% Mourvèdre, 10% Syrah, and the rest Cinsault and Vaccarèse, is deeper and richer than the two Côtes du Rhônes, exhibiting earthy, meaty aromas intermixed with flowers, spice, licorice, and very pretty fruit. Elegant and classy on the palate, it´s medium bodied with fresh acidity, a focused, straight texture and a long finish. Certainly an outstanding wine, this delivers more on purity and edge than power and concentration. Drink this outstanding wine over the next 10 to 12+ years. |

Dominique und Baptiste Grangeon sind keine "up-and-coming stars" wie Robert Parker schreibt, es sind ihre Weine, die brillieren. Vom Vin de Pays bis zum Châteauneuf findet man hier eine Bandbreite an grandiosen Weinen, die sich nur mit Clos du Caillou vergleichen lässt.Stilistisch sind die Weine von Cristia eine faszinierende Synthese aus Rhône und Burgund, kraftvoll und gleichzeitig präzise mit seidiger Frucht. Das ist aber kein önologischer Trick, sondern Ergebnis von großem Terroir, nämlich dem markanten Anteil sandiger Böden (Cristia ist ein lieu dit in der Nähe von Rayas) und der uralten Weingärten, aber vor allem der sorgfältigen und bewussten Bewirtschaftung derselben. Wie sorgfältig und ernsthaft man hier mit diesen Privilegien umgeht zeigt sich darin, daß die organische Bewirtschaftung der Weingärten (agriculture biologique) ab dem Jahrgang 2009 zertifiziert (Ecocert) ist. |

Bright
ruby. Fresh
cherry and red berry aromas complemented by Moroccan spices and anise.
Juicy and brisk, accented by complex flavors of red fruits, licorice and
spice cake. Finishes with silky tannins and lingering floral and cured
tobacco notes. Already showing complexity, but this wine is balanced to
age.
90-92 Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate, Oct 2010 The 2009 Chateauneuf du Pape (a blend of 95% Grenache and 5% Syrah aged entirely in cement) exhibits plenty of forest floor, sweet kirsch liqueur and raspberries, medium to full body, and a luxurious mouthfeel, with silky tannins and a long, heady finish. This beauty is ideal for drinking over its first decade of life. 91-93 Jeb Dunnuck - The Rhône Report #5, Aug 2010 The 2009 Domaine de Cristia Châteauneuf-du-Pape is 100% Grenache in 09 and it shows. The wine offers up a big, sweet nose of blackberry jam, licorice, and loads of spice and underbrush nuances. Medium to full bodied with a round, soft texture, this firms up beautifully on the mineral-laced finish and should be a superb Châteauneuf to drink over the next decade. |

Opaque
ruby. Cherry
compote, blackberry preserves and sexy, spicy oak on the highly aromatic
nose. Sweet, supple, and high-toned, with explosive dark fruit and spice
flavors that show impressive nuance, surprising firmness and superb
intensity. Displays real power but retains a light touch. Finishes with
lingering sweetness and a suave floral quality. 90-93 Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate, Oct 2010 The inky ruby/purple 2009 Chateauneuf du Pape Renaissance is 60% Grenache (from 100-year-old vines) and 40% Mourvedre, all aged 18 months in small barrels, of which 50% are new (for the Mourvedre component). Smoked game/Peking duck and distinctive animal overtones, new saddle leather, spice box, blueberry, black raspberry, and even blackberry fruit as well as camphor jump from the glass of this intriguing, moderately tannic wine. It will need 3-4 years of bottle age after release and will age nicely for 15 or more years. 95-98 Jeb Dunnuck - The Rhône Report #5, Aug 2010 Nothing short of stunning and one of the top 09 samples of my trip, the 2009 Domaine de Cristia Châteauneuf-du-Pape Renaissance is a slightly different blend than past vintages, being comprised of 45% old vine Grenache, 40% Mourvèdre, and 15% Syrah (the Syrah being the new addition.) The wine still sees the same 25% in new oak. On the nose, this presents beautifully pure aromas of blackberry and plum fruit, roasted meats, ripe herbs, and a touch of spring flowers. Focused, clean and pure aromatically, it´s full bodied on the palate with an awesome, substantial texture, impressive balance, and a tannic, very long finish. This will most likely demand 5 to 7 years on the cellar and then drink well for 20 years. |

Deep
ruby. Cherry-vanilla
and blackberry on the oak-dominated nose. Broad, palate-coating dark fruit
flavors are impressively concentrated but the oak is pretty intense right
now. Finishes creamy and long, repeating the cherry and oak spice notes. 92-94+ Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate, Oct 2010 The extraordinary 2009 Chateauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes (100% Grenache from 80-year-old vines, aged completely in small, older barrels) has a dark ruby purple color and an extraordinary nose of framboise, kirsch, blackberry, spring flowers and forest flora. It is deep and full-bodied, with great fruit purity that cascades over the palate with no hard edges. This is a super wine in 2009 and should drink well for 10-15 years, based on how previous vintages are evolving. 95-98 Jeb Dunnuck - The Rhône Report #5, Aug 2010 Always 100% old vine Grenache, the 2009 Domaine de Cristia Châteauneuf-du-Pape Vieilles Vignes sees only demi-muid in 09 (previous vintages saw barrel) and delivers its normal decadent, hedonistic profile of ripe blackberry and cassis fruit, spiced meat, and black licorice. It picks up a more mineral driven bouquet with air however, giving more focus to what is otherwise a very lush, sex pot of a wine. We will see if this characteristic makes it into the final bottled wine. Full bodied yet still light on its feet and beautifully balanced, this possesses superb richness, fresh acidity and masses of fine-grained tannin on the finish. The fruit here will allow this to be enjoyed on release but it should drink well for 2 decades. |

Bright
ruby. Deep, smoky aromas of dark berries and singed cherry, with licorice
and iron notes adding complexity. Sappy blackberry, cassis and cola flavors
are firmed by gentle mineral qualities and dusty tannins. On the serious
side today: I look forward to trying this again next year and suspect it
will be sweeter and more energetic.
90 Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate, Oct 2009 The dense ruby/purple 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape (90% Grenache and 10% Syrah) is very sexy and rich, with a beautiful nose of blueberry, blackberry, charcoal, and tapenade. Fabulously concentrated, with silky tannins and a layered, rich mouthfeel, this stunning effort is already irresistible, and should drink well for a decade or more. 91 Jeb Dunnuck - The Rhône Report, Aug 2009 A blend of 90% Grenache and 10% Syrah, the 2007 Domaine de Cristia Châteauneuf-du-Pape possesses a big, Grenache driven bouquet of purple fruits, fresh raspberries, licorice and mineral notes that show nice lift paired with plenty of richness. In the mouth the wine is medium to full bodied with soft, lush fruit, impressive richness and plenty of length. Drink this beauty over the following 10 to 12 years. |

| Domaine du Pégaü | |||
| Die Erfolgsgeschichte von Pégaü ist schon erstaunlich und zeigt die
Ignoranz aber auch Dynamik der internationalen Weinszene. Während noch Ende der
80er Jahre mangels Nachfrage ein Teil der Ernte an den Handel verkauft
wurde und ältere Jahrgänge selbstverständlich erhältlich waren, zählen heute
die nahezu selben Weine von Paul und Laurence Féraud zu den besten Weinen
Frankreichs. Wer einmal die Gelegenheit hatte den „normalen“ 78er
der Domaine probieren zu dürfen, hätte die herausragende Qualität
mancher Châteauneuf-du-Pape auch schon vor Jahrzehnten erkennen können/müssen.
Hat aber kaum jemand und heute müssen wir für solch außergewöhnliche
Weine eben auch entsprechende Preise bezahlen. Zum Glück machen Laurence Féraud und ihr Vater Paul eben der hervorragenden normalen Cuvée Réservée auch einen überragenden Wein außerhalb der Appellation, der "nur" als Vin de Table firmiert. Der besondere Vorteil, von beiden Weinen gibt es normalerweise genug und das zu noch immer erschwinglichen Preisen. |

Raynolds - International Wine Cellar, Mar/Apr
2011
Saturated
ruby. A wild, highly expressive bouquet displays red and dark berries,
Asian spice and musky garrigue, accented by smoke and game notes in the
background. Juicy and precise, with sweet raspberry and cherry flavors
that take a bitter turn with air. Tannins come on late and add grip to a
long, sappy finish. 89-91 Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate, Oct 2009 The 2008 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Reservee was about to be bottled at the time of my visit, and it will certainly be one of the better wines of the vintage. By the standards of Pegau, it is not a massive wine nor will it be terribly long-lived. However, this estate has an incredible track record in off years, so I would not be surprised to see this wine exceeding readers’ expectations in 10-12 years. Tasting through the three remaining lots that will be blended together, I rated them between 89 and 92. That makes it one of the better wines of the vintage. Medium to full-bodied, chewy and very evolved, the wine exhibits lots of earth, lavender and foresty/mossy notes intermixed with kirsch, peppery black currants and Christmas fruitcake spices. It should drink nicely for 10-12+ years. Laurence calls it a very “traditional” style that she believes will be as good as their 2006. 91-93 Jeb Dunnuck - The Rhône Report #5, Aug 2010 Tasted from barrel, Laurence´s 2008 Domaine du Pégaü Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Réservée looks to be a resounding success for the vintage. The wine displays a healthy purple color as well as fresh, pure aromas of earthy dark fruits, licorice, stem and the expected Pégaü notes of spiced meat, pepper, and garrigue. The palate is firm and edgy, showing ripe fruit that buffers the wine´s considerable structure, fresh acid and lengthy finish. This will most likely improve for a year or three in bottle and then drink well for a decade or more |

Raynolds - International Wine Cellar, Jan/Feb
2009 Component
#1: Inky purple. Expressive aromas of black and blue fruits, Asian spices,
smoked meat and lavender. Very fresh in the mouth, with lively blackberry
and boysenberry flavors, velvety texture and a late note of cracked
pepper. The smokiness carries through the long, sweet finish. Component
#2: Full purple. More energetic than the first sample, with bright
raspberry, cherry and floral aromas. Racy and focused, offering sweet
raspberry and strawberry preserve flavors and tangy minerality. Gains
weight and a smoky, meaty quality on the broad, sweet finish. The final
blend should be exceptional. 94-96 Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate, Oct 2009 The 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Reservee, still aging in foudres, was tasted from different lots. The most promising wine made here since the 2003, it is a full-bodied effort revealing dense, concentrated fruit, and high tannins that still need to be resolved. It will require some bottle age to round into drinking shape. The color is a dense plum/purple, and the wine shows considerable licorice, lavender, roasted herb, and meat juice characteristics, as well as a texture of beef blood – no doubt attributable to the old vines from which it is made. The fruit dominates, and the wine is intense, rich, and full-bodied. It will undoubtedly need 3-4 years of bottle age after its release, and should last 20-25 years based on the fact that their older vintages (i.e., 1979, 1981, 1983, and 1985) are all still in terrific condition. |

Raynolds - International Wine Cellar, Jan/Feb
2009 Opaque
ruby. Heady bouquet of raspberry, blueberry, potpourri and smoky minerals;
there's a purity and power to the aromas that reminded me of a Gros Freres
Richebourg. Deeply concentrated but eerily fresh, with deep, sweet red and
blue fruit flavors accented by Asian spices, anise and candied lavender.
Finishes with superb lift and clarity and a sweet blast of creme de
cassis, with no rough edges. 98-100 Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate, Oct 2009 The 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee da Capo (the first made since 2003) is a whopper! Slightly less potent alcohol-wise than the 1998 or 2003, Laurence Feraud compares it to the 2000. With just under 16% natural alcohol, it exhibits a dense purple color along with a big, sweet kiss of charcoal, grilled steaks, beef blood, plums, blackberries, smoked herbs, kirsch, and black currants, fabulous concentration, enormous body, and a finish that lasts over a minute. There is a freshness and vibrancy because of the vintage’s crisp acid levels, and the wine should age well for 30+ years. It reminded me more of the 1998 at a similar stage than the 2000, but that’s splitting hairs given the quality level of this offering. Normally there are 500-600 cases produced, most of it being available through the grey market rather than through any authorized importers. Laurence told me the Capo will be bottled in February, 2010. |

2008 Saturated
red. Impressively complex scents of red and dark berries, cherry,
leather and garrigue, with smoky minerals and dried flowers adding
interest. Juicy raspberry and blackcurrant flavors pack serious punch and
are seriously concentrated but there's a real elegance to this wine.
Licorice and candied flowers echo on the long, sappy finish. This looks to
be as good as the superb 2005 today. 92-94 Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate, Oct 2008 As for the Domaine du Pegau estate wines, the 2006 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvée Reservée was tasted from multiple foudres, and appears to be better than the 2005 and 2004. The 2006 exhibits gamy, meaty, new saddle leather, kirsch liqueur, black currant, pepper, lavender, and spice notes. The wine is full-bodied, rich, deep, and long. |

2008 Deep
ruby. Seductive dark berry and kirsch aromas are complicated by musky
garrigue, black olive and dark chocolate. Dense blackberry and bitter
cherry flavors stain the palate and develop a licorice character with air.
Tightens up on the long, chewy finish, which is dominated by tangy red
berry fruit. This hugely concentrated wine deftly combines liveliness and
power. 95 92-95 Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate, Feb 2007 The 2005 Chateauneuf-du -Pape Cuvee Réservée, which I tasted in three separate components all scoring between 92 and 95 points, is a tannic, backward style for Domaine de Pegau with saturated color, huge tannins, high acidity, and powerful, muscular, full-bodied flavors. The wine has all the essence of Provence from its meatiness, aromas of roasted herbes de Provence, and sweet licorice, blackberry, and kirsch liqueur notes, but it is formidably tannic, dense, as well as fresh and lively. This wine will no doubt need 4-8 years of bottle age and should be uncommonly long-lived, lasting for at least two or more decades. |

Ruby-red. Spicy red fruits on the nose, complicated by tapenade, lavender
and espresso. Very fresh and sweet, with energetic red and dark fruit
flavors, suggestions of garrigue and supple tannins, Finishes deep and
sappy, with a lingering cherry pit note clinging tenaciously. 94 Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate, Feb 2007 One of the finest efforts of the vintage is the 2004 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Reservee. There is no Cuvee da Capo in 2004, and as my commentary will make clear, they decided not to produce one in 2005. The 2004 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Reservee has a dark plum/garnet/purple color and a big, sweet nose of kirsch liqueur, lavender, roasted herbs, and beef juices intermixed with some licorice and spice. It is full-bodied, rich, deep, spicy, and dense with some tannins in the finish. The wine is not as accessible as many 2004s, and I would opt for cellaring it for 3-4 years and drinking it over the following 15-20. It’s a gorgeous effort for the vintage. 94 |

| 95-97 Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate, Oct 2008 The 2005 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvée Laurence appears to be the finest example of this wine since the 1998. Wonderfully rich, concentrated notes of roasted Provencal herbs, jammy black cherries, new saddle leather, and loamy soil are present in this stunningly rich, full-bodied wine. With excellent concentration, moderate tannin, and fabulous length as well as intensity, it should be released in 2009-2010, and will keep for 20-25 years. | |||

| Seit Mitte der 90er Jahre, als Jean-Paul Daumen
La
Vieille Julienne von seinem Vater übernahm, habe ich die Entwicklung
dieser Domaine
kontinuierlich verfolgt. Der
experimentelle und überreife Charakter dieser Weine hat mich aber
trotz hoher Parkerbewertungen nur sehr partiell überzeugt. Jean-Paul Daumen hat die stilistische Unbestimmtheit seiner Cuvées und deren inflationäre Entwicklung in Châteauneuf wohl auch gespürt und sein Angebot mit dem Jahrgang 2004 zusammengestrichen. Vieilles Vignes ist für ihn kein Marketingbegriff, wenn ohnehin fast alles in Châteauneuf von alten Rebstöcken kommt. Dementsprechend gibt es heute nur mehr einen Châteauneuf-du-Pape (in außergewöhnlichen Jahren eventuell einen Réservé) und einen Côtes du Rhône, allerdings nur von den besten und ältesten Weingärten. Und diese Qualität ist sensationell. Bei meinen Verkostungen vor Ort sind die Weine von La Vieille Julienne immer eine Klasse für sich, saftig und rund, aber mit einer dunkleren Würze als an der südlichen Rhône üblich. Wenn das jetzt nach einem modernen Holzstil klingt kann ich nur sagen falsch. Diese Phase, als seine Weine noch deutliche Holzaromen hatten ist für Jean-Paul Daumen auch vorbei. Vieilles Vignes bedeutet eben vorerst einmal tiefe Frucht, Kern und Rückgrat, überreife Marmelade bekommt man allein vom späteren Lesezeitpunkt. Neben Pégaü und Beaucastel ist La Vieille Julienne meiner Meinung nach heute der strukturierteste und beste traditionelle Châteauneuf-du-Pape. |

The
nose is incredibly pure with raspberry, black cherries, a hint of fig
and a touch of cooked meats that should evolve after bottling. Very
fresh with good definition. The palate is incredibly smooth and
downright sexy on the entry, utterly harmonious with blackberries,
touches of cassis and a touch of damson. This is unreservedly a
thrilling Châteauneuf-du-Pape, opulent, incredibly focused. 95 Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate, Oct 2009 While the beautiful 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape is already accessible, it will benefit from 2-3 years of cellaring, and should last for two decades or more. It exhibits an inky/ruby/purple color, a great texture, and a gorgeous nose of boysenberries, blueberries, blackberries, acacia flowers, licorice, and incense. There is wonderful freshness and vibrancy (because of the good acids) as well as a terrific finish. Jean-Paul Dauman is one of a handful of Chateauneuf du Pape proprietors who believes his 2005s are better than what he produced in 2007, and I find it difficult to disagree relative to this estate-s wines. True lovers of Chateauneuf du Pape will probably want to have both vintages in their cellars. 97 Jeb Dunnuck - The Rhône Report, Aug 2009 Coming from sandy soils and a cooler terroir in the northern part of the region, the 2007 Domaine de la Vieille Julienne Châteauneuf-du-Pape possesses fantastic aromatics of black cherry and cassis fruit, graphite, minerals, charcoal and dusty chocolate that are rich, pure and precise. The palate is full bodied and perfectly balanced with stunning concentration, rich fruit and fresh acidity. This finish is long and shows ripe, fine grained tannins and while this shows the ripe fruit of the vintage and is enjoyable now, its perfect balance and structure should make this very long lived. |

Coming
after the 2005, the 2006 is relatively closed on the nose, with touches of
blackberry leaf, wild hedgerow and black olive but after a few swirls some
ripe raisin and fig begins to emerge with a sense of minerality. This
minerality is coming through on the palate, which has real backbone and
the same level of freshness as the 2005. Perhaps slightly more grippy,
hint of dark chocolate, quite earthy towards the finish. 93-95 Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate, Feb 2007 Outrageously fine, the 2006 Chateauneuf du Pape achieved 16.5% natural alcohol. With great intensity, it is more similar to a 2001 than one normally finds in this vintage of charming, elegant, fruit-forward wines. It possesses a dense purple color along with extraordinary richness, copious quantities of cassis, kirsch, and licorice, and a meatiness to both its texture and density. This remarkably pure, full-bodied, opulent beauty exhibits good acidity as well as ripe tannin. It should last for 15-20 years. |

Schon erstaunlich, welche Perlen sprich
Topweinlagen noch in Châteauneuf-du-Pape schlummern. Der erst 30-jährige
Julien Barrot stammt zwar aus einer alteingesessenen Winzerfamilie,
bis vor einigen Jahren wurde hier aber nur Fasswein für den Großhandel
produziert. Die Domaine umfasst 12,5 ha mit einem Durchschnittsalter von
60 Jahre alten Reben, ein Drittel der Weingärten ist sogar über 100
Jahre alt. Achtung! Auch wenn ein Wein der mittlerweile zu den Legenden von Châteauneuf-du-Pape ("'Rayas on steroids") zählt, zum Preis eines besseren österreichischen Barriqueweins angeboten wird, gibt es keine Überholspur für besonders Schnelle. Julien Barrot will, daß alle seine Weine zu einem vernünftigen Preis angeboten werden. Persönlich muß ich das akzeptieren, teile diese Meinung aber offen gesagt nicht. Einen großen Wein aus einer großen Lage weit unter Wert zu offerieren wird man auf Dauer nicht losgelöst von Angebot und Nachfrage etablieren können. Mittelfristig geht das, aber eben nur, wenn man die beschränkte Verfügbarkeit und die strikte Zuteilung an die Kunden weitergibt. Ich werde daher aktuell keine Weine von Barroche anbieten. |

2009 Bright
ruby. Vivid strawberry and raspberry aromas are complicated by white
pepper, Asian spices and smoky herbs. Lively red berry flavors show
slow-mounting smokiness. The gentle tannins are smoothly folded into the
sweet fruit, adding focus to the long, spicy finish. This is 100%
grenache, from younger vines. 91 Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate, Oct 2009 The 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape Terroir (95% Grenache and the rest Mourvedre, Syrah, and Cinsault aged in foudres) comes from the estate’s youngest vines (about 20 years on average) and exhibits very sexy, ripe black currant and black cherry fruit intermixed with sandalwood, fruitcake, and spice box. Opulent, full-bodied, and rich, with plenty of glycerin and fruit covering up some silky tannins, this dark ruby/purple-colored wine is broad, savory, and best drunk over the next 10-15 years. 92 Jeb Dunnuck - The Rhône Report, Aug 2009 The 2007 Domaine la Barroche Châteauneuf-du-Pape Terroir has fantastic Grenache character (95% Grenache) with perfumed kirsch, raspberries and spice aromas leading into a medium to full bodied palate. Balanced, silky and textured, this has beautiful fruit and picks up ripe, fine grained tannins on the finish. Drink this beauty over the coming 10 to 12 years. |

2009 Deep
ruby. Red and blue fruits on the nose, with cracked pepper, lavender and
mineral qualities adding complexity. Rich and velvety, with lush
blackberry and blueberry flavors, lightly chewy tannins and a late note of
anise. Gains weight on the finish, which strongly repeats the blue fruit
note. A big boy, but there are no rough edges to get in the way of early
drinking. 92 Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate, Oct 2009 More structured, backward, and formidably endowed is the 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape Tradition. Made from a blend of over 80% Grenache and the rest Syrah and Cinsault, with some very old-vine fruit going into the blend, this wine is also aged in a combination of tank and foudre prior to bottling. Deep plum/ruby-colored with a striking nose of loamy soil scents interwoven with exuberant kirsch liqueur notes, licorice, and roasted Provencal herbs, the wine is backward, dense, full-bodied, and very pure, with a brilliant texture and length. This wine will benefit from another 1-2 years of cellaring and drink well for 15+ years. 93 Jeb Dunnuck - The Rhône Report, Aug 2009 Darker and richer than the Terroir, the 2007 Domaine la Barroche Châteauneuf-du-Pape Signature shows big, dark aromas of blackberry and black cherries that are mixed with earthy, mineral notes. Simply fantastic on the palate with an overall silky, elegant feel, the wine is medium to full bodied, pure, precise, textured and extremely fresh. I’d drink these over the coming 15 years. |

| 91 Josh Raynolds - International Wine Cellar, Jan/Feb 2009 Vivid ruby. Strikingly complex, expansive aromas of raspberry and blackberry, garrigue and brown spices. Open-knit red fruit flavors are concentrated but in no way heavy, with a bracing mineral quality adding spine. The finish is sweet, broad and very persistent. This cuvee was previously called "Reserve." | |||

| 92+ Josh Raynolds - International Wine Cellar, Jan/Feb 2009 (50% each of grenache and syrah) Deep ruby. Powerfully scented, youthfully brooding bouquet of kirsch, cassis, licorice and smoky minerals. Fresher red berries on the palate, with sweet notes of cola and anise; picks up a suave black raspberry quality that carries through the long, sappy finish. I wouldn't open one of these any time soon. | |||

| 96 Josh Raynolds - International Wine Cellar, Jan/Feb 2009 (100% grenache) Bright ruby. Vivid red berry and cherry aromas are complicated by garrigue, incense, anise and potpourri nuances. Deeper blueberry and boysenberry flavors join the red fruits on the palate, with gentle spice and mineral notes adding energy. This silky, captivating wine offers superb palate coverage, depth and persistence. | |||
| Dauvergne & Ranvier | |||
| Francois Dauvergne und
Jean-Francois Ranvier sind keine Winzer mit eigenen Weingärten
sondern Önologen und sog. Micro-Negociants. Beide arbeiten über das
ganze Rhônetal verstreut mit Winzern zusammen die sie beraten und von
denen sie ausgesuchte Partien kaufen, vor Ort selbst vinifizieren und
ausbauen. Ich habe ihre Weine erstmals vor zwei Jahren probiert und war von dem präzisen eleganten Stil, aber auch dem exzellenten Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis begeistert. Da die meisten Cuvées nur in kleinen Mengen von wenigen tausend Flaschen produziert werden, kann man hier noch von einem Geheimtipp sprechen. Dank aktuell hoher Bewertungen u.a. bei Parker, Guide Hachette und Decanter wird das wohl nicht mehr lange geheim bleiben. Unter den im März probierten zahlreichen 2009ern stachen sowohl der Crozes-Hermitage als auch der Côte-Rôtie als zwei der brillantesten Weine ihrer Appellation heraus! |

| Château
Rayas war schon ein Kult-Wein als es diesen Begriff noch gar nicht gab.
Die eigenwillige Persönlichkeit von Jacques Reynaud, der
„merkwürdige“ Keller, nicht zuletzt aber die zweifellos großartige
Qualität der Weine haben die Legendenbildung beflügelt. Seit dem Tode
von Jacques Reynaud 1997 wird das Weingut von seinem Neffen Emmanuel in
bewährter Weise geleitet. Die Weine von Rayas zählen nach wie vor zu
den besten Frankreichs und sind heute noch gesuchter als zu Lebzeiten
von Jacques Reynaud. Auch wenn viel über die Vinifikation von Jacques Reynaud gemutmaßt wurde, das Geheimnis von Rayas liegt in einem außergewöhnlichen Terroir sandiger Weingärten, das den Weinen jene unnachahmliche seidige Eleganz verleiht, die mich am ehesten an einen Richebourg erinnert. |

| Thierry Allemand | |||
|
Als ich die Weine
dieses jungen Winzer erstmals 1994 importierte, war Thierry Allemand nur
Insidern ein Begriff. Heute wird er allgemein als einer der
Spitzenwinzer der nördlichen Rhône anerkannt. Stephen Tanzer: „There
may be no better source of domain-bottled Cornas today than Thierry
Allemand.” 2,5 ha vorwiegend alter Rebstöcke bringen ca 8000 Flaschen Cornas hervor, die ohne Umziehen, Schönung oder Filtration nach 18 Monaten in die Flasche gefüllt werden. Im Gegensatz zu manchen modischen Techno-Weinen werden hier aber aus Syrah keine geschliffenen Holzsäfte gemacht, sondern sehr puristische und ausdrucksstarke Weine gekeltert. Die beiden Lagen-Cornas sind undurchdringlich in der Farbe; eine Fülle von Schwarzbeeren, Brombeeren und Wild in der Nase, konzentriert am Gaumen mit überwältigender Frucht und Tannin, zwei Granaten für Geduldige. Umso bedauerlicher finde ich, dass es mir der abrupte Preissprung von Allemand unmöglich macht, seine Weine weiterhin ins Programm zu nehmen. Zum Glück kann ich noch einige sehr gute ältere Jahrgänge zu moderaten Preisen anbieten, die sich jetzt ihrer ersten Trinkreife nähern. |

| Auguste Clape | |||
| Auguste Clape, der
Altmeister von Cornas ist ein leidenschaftlicher Verfechter für den
traditionellen Stil eines lagerfähigen Cornas, der einige Jahre Geduld
erfordert. Ich bin selbst immer wieder überrascht, wenn ich einen Clape in eine Verkostung stelle und dieser an sich unspektakuläre aber unglaublich präzise Wein durch seine puristische Frucht und elegantes Understatement dennoch hervorsticht. Für mich sind die Weine von Auguste Clape, die mittlerweile von seinem Sohn Pierre-Marie gemacht werden, der Inbegriff eines klassischen Weines. |
