Coudoulet Rouge de
Beaucastel
Chateau Beaucastel
Cotes du Rhone Rouge
RP -
The 2012 Cotes du Rhone
Coudoulet de Beaucastel looks to be an outstanding example of this
cuvee. Showing plenty of black cherry, mineral, cracked pepper and
underbrush, it is medium-bodied, possesses great acidity, and gains in
both richness and depth in the glass. While most Cotes du Rhône's
drink best in their first 4-5 years of life, this cuvee can age well past
a decade. |

Chateau Beaucastel
Cotes du Rhone Rouge
RP -
In total contrast, the 2009
Cotes du Rhone Coudoulet red represents the essence of Provence in its
notes of ground pepper, new saddle leather, lavender, kirsch, garrigue,
and abundant red and black fruits. This complex, evolved, luscious red
begs for a bloody grilled steak. With a creamy, medium to full-bodied
texture, this gorgeous, complex, evolved wine should be enjoyed
over the next 7-8 years. |

Chateau Pesquie
RP - Easily one of
my favourite estates from the up-and-coming Ventoux region, Chateau
Pesquie is run by the talented brothers, Alexandre & Frederic Chaudiere.
The wines sell for a song, yet always deliver high-quality, loads of
character and impeccably made profiles. |

Cuvee des Terrasses
Chateau Pesquie
Cotes du Ventoux Rouge
RP -
In the same mould and an
awesome value year in and year out, the 2012 Cotes du Ventoux
Cuvee des Terrasses is a blend of 70% Grenache (60-year-old vines) and 30%
Syrah (30+-year-old vines) that was aged two-thirds in concrete (and some
in stainless steel) and one-third in older oak.
Made from a blend of different terroirs on the estate and coming from
hillside vineyards lying between 840-930 feet in elevation, it offers
up a gorgeously pure, supple and seamless profile with kirsch and
berry-styled fruit, licorice and spring flower-like qualities all emerging
from the glass.
Elegant, forward and delicious, it gains in stature in the glass, is
ridiculously textured from such an inexpensive wine, and has sweet tannin
emerging on the finish. |

Vacqueyras
Domaine de la Charbonniere
RP - The 2010 Vacqueyras
offers lots of cedary, loamy soil notes interwoven with black cherry jam
and black currants. Medium to full-bodied with supple tannins and
admirable purity as well as intensity, it should drink well for a
decade. |

Latour de France
OCCULTUM LAPIDEM
M. Chapoutier
RP -
A step up and an incredible effort, the 2013 Cotes du Roussillon
Villages Latour de France Occultum Lapidem is made from a mix of Syrah,
Grenache and Carignan that comes from schist and chalky soils. A
serious, classically styled effort, it offers awesome aromas and
flavours (blackberry, mineral and liquorice), full-bodied richness and
fabulous concentration that never comes across as heavy or cumbersome.
Showing additional minerality and definition with time in the glass, this
beauty will have 10-15 years of longevity and should not be missed. |

Latour de France
OCCULTUM LAPIDEM
M. Chapoutier
RP -
One of the more polished, sexy examples of the cuvee, the 2015 Côtes du
Roussillon Villages Latour de France Occultum Lapidem checks in as a
blend of 50% Syrah, 40% Grenache and the balance Carignan and Mourvèdre,
aged all in concrete tanks. It boasts killer notes of black raspberries,
cassis, pepper and liquorice, with just a hint of chocolate appearing
with time in the glass.
This medium to full-bodied, layered and beautifully textured red is an
incredible value and will be impossible to resist over the coming 4-5
years, and I’m sure it will keep even longer. |
