| Community Tasting Notes (average 88.8 pts. and median of 89 pts. in 18 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by iMustWine on 5/9/2022 & rated 89 points: Ruby garnet color
Nose is medium with notes of fresh red fruits, smoked cayenne powder and forest mushrooms. Developing
Palate is dry, with medium+ acidity, medium tannins, medium- alcohol, medium bodied and medium+ intensity. Flavors of sweet sour raspberries, cherries and hints of dried shiitake mushrooms on the finish. Medium+ finish.
Overall nice mid palate wine with good structure and length without being overly complex and mind boggling. (643 views) | | | Tasted by Papies on 10/12/2021 & rated 89 points: By the glass at the BA Lounge LHR. Felt freshly opened.
The irony of times as this was probably the wine tasted on the last business trip pre covid back in Feb 2020 ( Papies 89) and now is out of randomness the wine of the first post covid travel..
Spice abs rich red fruit and blind we would have thought this was Aussie Shiraz. Soft round feel and if one pushes through that new world feel and slight confectionery edge ( unless of course one likes this side in wine) this is a pretty enjoyable and welcoming wine. 89-90 (1230 views) | | | Tasted by Nyrican on 6/13/2020 & rated 90 points: Very nice medium full of dark berries and earthy has spice that complements would definitely buy again. (1805 views) | | | Tasted by Steffen.riemann@outlook.dk on 2/29/2020 & rated 82 points: Let og frugtig (1969 views) | | | Tasted by Papies on 2/17/2020 & rated 89 points: By the glass at the BA lounge, LHR. No clues here as to when this was opened. Half full bottle.
Restraint dark fruit and actually felt good at this young age , light smoky, meaty but more on the dark fruit side at this time and with a herby finish. Good 89 (2217 views) | | | Tasted by Susaninaustin on 9/15/2019 & rated 90 points: 3 (1749 views) | | | Tasted by Miceri on 5/26/2019 & rated 92 points: Dark red; rich fruity nose; soft nice attack, gentle black pepper; really nice rounded and straightforward (1632 views) | | | Tasted by MarcEBeaudoin on 4/3/2019: Day 2. Great aromas of plum and overripe strawberry. Some earth and leather. Sour cherry. Finishes long, with a slightly rustic edge. (958 views) | | | Tasted by Wine Gopher on 2/24/2019 & rated 90 points: M. Chapoutier: Tour of the Rhone (SOBE Wine & Food Festival - Miami Beach): Bright magenta color. Very aromatic with a barbecued (even burned) meat, smoke and tobacco. It saw no barrel aging so I thought the amount of smoke was very interesting. Flavors of strawberry and tobacco and charred meat. Medium body. Medium-plus finish. (1006 views) | | | Tasted by Foxsea1 on 2/18/2019 & rated 89 points: Earthy at first .. opens up nicely. A nice light to medium body red. (735 views) | | | Tasted by Joe Kane on 12/19/2018: Violet, black fruit, jam, pie crust. Day 3. (687 views) | | | Tasted by Wackogracko on 2/5/2018 & rated 91 points: Black fruit, blue fruit, olive, graham cracker, eucalyptus, and chocolate.
Excellent wine. Uniqueness makes the price worth it. (803 views) |

Regional History:
Phocaean Greeks established viticulture in the Rhone as far back as 600 BC, but until the 14th century the wines were not seen outside the region. The establishment of the Avignonese Papacy (1305-1377) brought fame to the region's wine-so much so that their Burgundian neighbors to the north banned wines from the Rhone in 1446, a measure that effectively cut off trade with England and other Northern European markets for over 200 years. Stretching southward from Lyon to just south of Avignon, the Rhone produces a wide variety of wines, with the appellations north of Valence producing the least (in volume), and the towns south of Montelimar producing prodigious amounts. As in other regions, the most interesting wines come from small farms. Saint-Joseph, in the northern Rhone, extends for some distance between Condrieu in the north to Saint-Peray in the south. The reds are made from Syrah and the rare whites from Marsanne and Roussanne, and Viognier.
