Meix Chavaux 2015. Classical Roulot nose, many subtle nuances; effortlessly flowing palate, impeccable purity and balance, creamy lemon fruit and a hint of orange, remarkably elegant and fresh for a 2015, hint of spice from the delicately sweet oak; salty and energetic finish, very good length. A magisterial lieu-dit, at perfect peak today.
Very pure, very natural, very precise, very elegant, a wonderful expression of of grape and vineyard, silky and transparent, cherry and peach, rose and violet, the mildest of tannins, soft but fresh and airy, granitic spice, very good resonance and length. Went very well with Entrecôte Normande from Polmard (six weeks dry aged).
France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape
Mainly Grenache, almost entirely raised in concrete. No Cuvée Vieilles Vignes this year, those barrels were also used for this basic cuvée. Fresh and glossy, bright Grenache fruit and garrigue, pure and spicy, rounded and elegant, supple and spicy, percaline tannins, very good resonance and length. Showing very well today.
The crisp and minerally core is competely intact, with green apple and lemon curd, but the aromatic profile also displays evolved spiced apple and seal wax, the finish is dry and tight and energetic, with noticeable bitters. Still very good, but it starts to feel a bit disjointed.
