CONDRIEU SAINT COSME 2019
100% Viognier. Granitic arenas. Eight months old. Breeding 40% in pieces of a wine - 30% in pieces of two wines - 40% in pieces of three wines. Condrieu leaves no amateur indifferent. We like or we do not like Condrieu. There is no half-measure, it's a fact. But it is a paradox that I have trouble understanding. Condrieu is criticized for being a wine difficult to marry with food. The good deal: it is precisely because it is difficult to marry that it is a great wine of gastronomy. Its strong identity opens fertile paths in the gastronmie but it does not support the approximation. From this point of view, I would like to compare it to the yellow wine of the Jura, which is the wine of gastronomy par excellence but which is "marriageable" with few products. However, just be a little daring: forget the sugar on a poached foie gras and replace it by the maturity of Condrieu. Or try the Condrieu on a Stilton, the pinnacle remaining the Condrieu with the bouillabaisse: certainly a dish that is not cooked every day but everything deserves. Our 2017 comes with its usual depth and nice bitters that contribute to the freshness of the wine. Salinity is still there, deploying the granitic mineral of our soils. The "white wine" version of Cote Rotie is, like its alter ego, a great wine of maturity. There are no great wines without ripe grapes: this simply does not exist. Fennel, licorice, elderberry, old rose, anise.
COTES DU RHONE VILLAGE BLANC SABLET 2019 DOMAINE DES ESPIERS
Grape variety: 100% Clairette
It is in 1989 that the area of Espiers was born in Vacqueyras, when Philippe Cartoux decided to walk in the footsteps of his grandparents who owned a vineyard in the family since 1879.
The vineyard now covers 9,5 hectares including 3 to Gigondas, 4 en Cotes du Rhone et 2,5 en Côtes-du-Rhône-Villages Sablet. The grape variety is largely dominated by the main 3 Rhone grape varieties, namely Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. The vines are in struggle and receive no chemical treatment. In general, the gestures are all part of a logic of respect for the soil and the environment, with yields particularly lower than 35 hl / ha.
Harvesting is manual for traditional winemaking and aging in oak barrels. Philippe Cartoux likes to produce robust, gourmet but also refined wines.
MUSCAT OF BEAUMES OF VENICE DOMAINE OF COYEUX 2008 75 CL
Since 1943, only are entitled to the appellation contrôlée «Muscat of Beaumes-de-Venise», the wines coming from the white and black grape variety "Muscat à petits grains", harvested on a limited territory of the communes of Beaumes-de-Venise and Aubignan.
The respect of the conditions of production (mode of size, yield, natural wealth of sugar and musts, ...) makes this wine remarkable. At the foot of the massif des Lace of Montmirail, the Vignerons de Beaumes-de-Venise are the only ones to cultivate this grape in the Rhône Valley ..
Production : 12 000 hl
Area : 500 has
Type of soil : clay-limestone soil and Miocene sands.
Grape varieties : Muscat with small grains
Authorized performance : 30 hl / ha.
Terroir : Miocene Safre says blonde earth
In the Dentelles de Montmirail landscape, the dominant terroir of Muscat is steeped in the history of Beaumes-de-Venise. The farmer builds, separating the land from the rock, terraces also called faysses, walls of dry stones that streak the slope to facilitate the work and optimize the exposure of the vines. The faysses became terraces, and the terroir of the Muscat was established mainly on non stony sandy soils, resulting from Helvetian safre (Middle Miocene) dating from about 14 million
