Community Tasting Notes (average 91.3 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 4 notes) | |
| Tasted by ccn on 3/25/2010 & rated 90 points: @ Ledbury restaurant. Classic-style cote rotie, very animal; still some fruit but also leather/tar. Not quite as balanced as I'd like; a bit angular, possibly even a hint of VA. Not sure this will improve considerably from here, but should hold 3-5 years okay. (127 views) | |
| Tasted by eliotfagley on 6/13/2009 & rated 94 points: Great bottle with lamb and pork belly, thanks to Emily Wines. The nose on this wine was incredible - graphite, blue stone, iron. Red fruit and iron on the palate, with great mouthfeel and length. Really a fantastic bottle of wine! (375 views) | |
| Tasted by BailliSacks on 7/13/2008 & rated 90 points: Soft round and lush, gentle structure tucked away within, some spice coming through around the edges. A pleasure. (319 views) | |
| Tasted by abbulf on 10/13/2007: The nose is opulent and very intense, with tar and blackberries. Still very primary and very good. With air it shows a bit more secondary aromas. There are also some vegetal/green flavours to it (green olives). I really like the nose on this one. The front palate is refreshing, but the palate does not quite keep what the nose has promised. It feels a bit anonymous in the mouth. Some pepper in the finish, which is nether very long nor acidic. (427 views) |

| About Red Wines
Varietal article (Wikipedia) | (Wines Northwest) Vins de France (Office National Interprofessionnel des Vins ) | Pages Vins, Directory of French Winegrowers | French Wine (Wikipedia) The Rhône Valley/Le Vins de la Vallée du Rhône (Comité Interprofession des vins AOC Côtes et vallée du Rhône) The Rhône Valley/Le Vins de la Vallée du Rhône (Comité Interprofession des vins AOC Côtes et vallée du Rhône) 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 Rousanne, and Viognier. • The Appellation cover three communes - Saint-Cyr-sur-Rhône, Ampuis and Tupin-Semons - on the right Rhône river bank, within the Rhône "département". • Soils : In the northern part of the vineyard, the Côte Brune, consists of extremely steep, terraced slopes of ferruginous mica schists which are covered with schist sand (arzel).The Côte Blonde has a varied geology with gneiss and granite predominating at the most southern side of the appellation. • Climate : tempered continental. Dry, hot summers and frequent rainfalls during the other seasons. History : one of the oldest vineyards in France, first developed by the Romans. It is said that during the Middle Ages, "The Seigneur de Maugiron" bequeathed a hillside to each of his daughters, one was brunette and the other fair. Thus, were born the names of "Côte Brune" and "Côte Blonde". • Area planted : 230 hectares (568 acres), for an annual production of 8,400 hectoliters (93,333 cases). Authorized maximum yield is 40 hectoliters/hectare (2,3 US tons/acre). • Grape Varieties : Syrah (80% minimum). An addition of up to 20% of Viognier grapes in the crop is allowed. |
