Wow, this was a really delicious and interesting wine. Thanks Carl. Lots of great black pepper, herbal notes, plums and mix of dark fruit with great acid; juicy and delicious with an awesome QPR.

This wine maintains the high standard of previous vintages. It is perhaps a bit leaner and more acidic than my notes and memory of those years indicate but without side by side comparison it is hard to be sure. Moreishly delicious.

100% Negrette, a local grape of Fronton AOC, 20 miles north of Toulouse. Deep ruby. M+ acid. M alcohol. M+ tannin with fine, almost powdery grain. M intensity. M+ body. M/M+ concentration. M/M+ complexity. Worn saddle leather, immaculate barn, ripe savory blackberry, black cherry, red cherry, black licorice, faint woody herb. Mostly fresh ripe fruit that's more savory than sweet. A nice wine, especially at the price.

Cherry in color with light intensity.

Very pretty nose of wild flowers, cherries and red candy.

Full bodied with medium acidity and small bubbles.

Dry to off dry on the palate and nicely balanced.

Showing strawberries, raspberries, red apples, citrus, spices and lemons.

Nice finish with citrus and apples.

This is a very tasty sparkling wine from France. Showing a soft mouthfeel with mild complexity.

Probably my first time having this grape variety.

Easy drinking and good by itself as a sipping wine. A nice party wine too.

100% Negrette grapes.

9.5% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

$25.

Bouteille qui a très bien vieilli. Je ne m’attendai pas à le trouver dans cet étude jeunesse au nez et en bouche.
Une volatilité assez importante a l’ouverture qui s’est dissipé assez rapidement. En bouche on retrouve le fruit et pas de note d’évolution marquée . Belle fraîcheur, équilibre et longueur. Je ne pensais pas que la negrette vieillissait aussi bien

A blend of Negrette and Syrah. I like the nose with it’s funky, savoury notes and red and blackberry fruits. The palate is light to medium bodied, despite weighing in at 14% ABV, with berry flavours and fresh basil and dried herb finish.

Juicy and savoury with notes of violets, but funky with a whiff off Brett which was a touch too dominant. Rich with a commendable finish. Would’ve rated higher but for the Brett. CHP 87pts

Like previous vintages the perfume and fruit are beguilingly exuberant with notes of cherry and exotic spice with a slightly ferrous earthiness, which I didn't note before and perhaps suaver texture. A delightful wine for drinking young. Very good.

2019 Domaine Le Roc Le Bouysselet

Vin de France more

10/1/2022 - forceberry wrote: 88 points

100% organically farmed Bouysselet (an old local variety discovered from old pre-phylloxeric vineyards a handful of years ago) sourced from a vineyard in Fronton that was field-grafted to Bouysselet in 2017 and 2018. Macerated for a few hours with the skins. Fermented spontaneously. Aged in used 400-liter demi-muids for 12 months. 14% alcohol.

Medium-deep and somewhat concentrated yellow-green color. Youthful, fruit-driven and slightly primary nose with aromas of gummi bear candies, some creamy oak tones, a little bit of ripe grapey fruit, light juicy notes of nectarines, a sunny hint of poached pear and a touch of exotic fruits. The wine feels rich, clean and juicy on the palate with a rather full body and youthful flavors of apricots and overripe apples, some spicy tones, a little bit of creamy oak, light primary notes of grapey fruit and gummi bear candies, a hint of stony minerality and a fragrant touch of floral spice. The moderately high acidity lends quite good sense of balance to the slightly oily texture, although a bit more couldn't hurt a wine with this much body. The high alcohol lends a little bit of warmth to the palate. The finish is ripe, youthful and juicy with a moderately long aftertaste of gummi bears, some creamy oak tones, a little bit of exotic spice, light grapey notes, a hint of stony minerality and a touch of apricot.

A nice, clean and juicy wine not unlike a young Viognier, only with a slightly different kind of fruit profile. Despite its ripeness and breadth, the wine never really comes across as particularly heavy or ponderous. I guess a few years more could help the wine in getting rid of the candied primary tones and integrating the (already quite judicious) oak influence even better with the fruit. All in all, a fun little wine and a nice introduction to this quite rare Fronton variety. Priced according to its quality at 17€.

Purplish red. Medium bodied. On the nose: dark berries, earthiness, iron/blood. In the mouth: dark berries, slight sulphur. A little tannic but not too much. Served with food the tannins get unnoticed. Could be the perfect communion wine. ;-)

I think that it will drink well for 4/5 years.
