| Community Tasting Notes (average 91 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 8 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by remyworldpeace on 3/6/2024 & rated 91 points: From magnum. Red fruits, cherry, strawberry and cream with a certain chalkiness on the nose. Hear me out... It almost smelt like a mineral driven Blanc de Noirs champagne. Palate of cherry and raspberry with the creaminess enduring. A touch of dark pepper on finish. (544 views) | | | Tasted by skurtz on 11/15/2023 & rated 92 points: This is a posh, big wine from Languedoc. On the nose, toasted bread, campfire charcoal with hints of vanilla. On the palate, juicy black fruit, mineral, graphite, tannins, with balanced acidity in the finish. Nice complexity, classy and chewy. 91/92 (758 views) | | | Tasted by Nojomoschwa on 12/9/2022 & rated 92 points: Super stylish red from Terrasses du Larzac. Slightly lavish but not over the top. Compelling. Good value, too. (1232 views) | | | Tasted by Sean Tay on 11/24/2022 & rated 91 points: Medium+ nose intensity with red fruits and black fruits. Medium+ acidity, medium+ tannin. (1115 views) | | | Tasted by Ericsson on 6/2/2022 & rated 91 points: Au restaurant, ouvert et bu durant 2H.
A consommer aux alentours de 16°C sinon le vin sera un peu trop "mou".
Joliment séveux, épicé, floral, le vin est souple avec des tanins lisses, facile à boire.
Excellent vin, surtout pour le prix, même si ce millésime solaire ne lui rend pas justice.
A boire dans sa jeunesse. (1413 views) | | | Tasted by maxima on 2/17/2022 & rated 90 points: Toujours constant, un solide vin à tous les millésimes,
on achète les yeux fermés, à prix juste.
Des meures, des cerises, des herbes et
des épices avec de beaux tannins lisses.
La finale super longue a une petite chauffe,
signe de sa fougue et de sa jeunesse.
On se revoit dans 4-5 ans, on va siroter les
5 autres millésimes en cave. (2034 views) |
| Domaine de Montcalmes Producer website Red Rhone Blend Read about the different grapes used to produce red and white Rhone wines
On CellarTracker, Red Rhone Blend is the term for a wine consisting of two or more of the traditional 13 Southern Rhone grape varieties. Typically it's the Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre or Cinsault grapes, but can also contain the Muscardin, Counoise, Clairette, Bourboulenc, Picpoul, Roussanne, Terret Noir, Picardan or Vaccarese grapes.
A 'food' wine. Lacking pretension and intended for local consumption with local cuisine. Lacks the 'high' notes on a Bordeaux, more earthy and sharper so often a better partner to meat dishes with a sauce.
