2019 Gabriel Meffre Côtes du Rhône La Châsse Réserve

Red Rhone Blend more

4/23/2024 - Ingmars wrote: NR

Purchased as a cooking ingredient at Maxima in Rīga on promotion at €5.49. Synthetic stopper. Lightish ruby colour. The nose exudes alcohol, though this is labelled as a rather humble 13%. Some modest grenache comes through, but it's oxidative as well. Definitely not good. The mouth is light-bodied with simple, yet brutally fermented fruit which is lacking in both concentration and grip, being harsh and alcoholic. I suppose the mouth beats the nose if the two were to battle for which was the least vicious, but it doesn't save the wine from being a worse than dire representative of the Côtes du Rhône genre.

100% Marsanne. Hay, beeswax, dried flowers and a hint of pineapple on the nose. On the full bodied palate, I’d say it’s more peachy. Seems a little more evolved than I would have expected. Medium acidity. Medium length with the alcohol (14%) a bit dominant. (92)
On day two this has lost some of its fruit that already wasn’t the most expressive and a slight bitterness crept into the overly alcoholic finish. (90)
I’m not sure if this will improve with more time in the cellar.
(Day 3). Funny, this is showing much better again now. Nougat and white flowers on the nose, sweet and smooth on the palate, with just the right amount of acidity. The alcohol is still noticeable on the finish, but not as obtrusive. (92)

A dark garnet color with aromas of a predominantly Grenache & Syrah as a nice uplifting support marriage. Love the herbaceousness of the region and the black plum, blackberry, supple black olive, and earthy tones… almost Elegant. Medium bodied and acid with flavors of more black plum, black licorice, bay leaf, black pepper, & medium tannins. An elegant wine with defined flavors … but not as Muscular or complex I would expect from Gigondas at $45. Drink now through 2029

Au nez, mûres, cerises bing, cuire, viande épicée. Un vin puissant. Graines de raisin, olives, viande épicée et fruits noirs. Excellente longueur avec une allure des tannins de pelures de pommes qui perdure. Une meilleure présence de fraîcheur le ferait monter d’un cran.

Nice modern styled CDP. Drinking very well. Was a Garagiste mystery wine, something I wouldn’t have purchased, hence the mystery. But it got better with age, enjoyed with dinner.

Drank over 5 days and kept at room temperature. This is day 5 and the wine shows some development now. Day one there were fresh cherries and ok acidity, but the wine was light bodied. Over the days the wine gained some weight, but never became a real pleasure. Day 5 the wine is more ok, but I think I will skip this vintage. Nevertheless an ok wine.

Drank over two days and day two was best. Dark and some red berries, chocolate and garrigue, fresh acidity and mild tannin. Less concentrated than the 2017, but certainly a pleasant and ok wine.

Eye: Consistent ruby.

Nose: Fruit salad: Strawberry, cherry, peach, pear, nectarine, clementine. Slightly vinous.

Palate: Mixed fruit. Some white cake and peaches and cream. Lightly herbaceous. Medium bodied. Lively acidity.

Finish: Lingering fruit, lemon-acidity, and some gentle bitterness.

Overall: I prefer this Tavel to the 2021 Trinquevedal.

Clear medium ruby; clean medium plus nose of red currants, cherry jam, soil and wood; dry; medium plus acidity; medium plus tannins; high alcohol; medium plus body; medium plus flavour intensity; palate is tarter with addition of blueberries, vanilla and cocoa; medium plus to long finish; drinking well now but will benefit from a few years in the cellar; great QPR!; silky smooth with stealth alcohol; out of the bottle showed talcum, mustiness and a slight acetate note - this dissipated after about 10 minutes

A lush complex medium-bodied, properly weighty serious Rhone. The fruit is fresh, tinged with pepper, spice, herbs, anise which announce Rhone but never dominate the overall silky joy of each taste. Grenache sunshine, Syrah structure, Mourvèdre soft cushion.

Decanted from its sediment. Upon opening this bottle had medicinal aromas and flavors. This took at least two hours to dissipate and reveal some muted berry flavors with licorice notes on the short+ finish. Tannins are totally integrated but retains some acidity. I would say this is in decline.

Savoury herbs, spices and venison accented by ripe black fruit. A seamless and alluring palate with depth and complexity. The smooth tannins slowly build during the long savoury finish.

Medium ruby colour.

Pronounced aromas of black pepper, ripe blackberry, black plum, boysenberry, dark cherry, nutmeg, all spice, venison, grilled peppers, lavender.

Pronounced palate.

Medium (+) body, medium (+) acidity, medium (+) tannins, long finish.
