2020 Domaine des Enfants Côtes Catalanes Le Jouet

Grenache Blend, Grenache more

4/8/2024 - stamperb Likes this wine: 90 points

Nose: Cherry pie filling and ethanol (cherries jubilee-like). Palate: Creamy tart raspberries, more cherry kirsch; briefly sharp tannins and quite acidic. Improves quite a bit on day two with everything softening and the cherry from day one shifting to more cranberry on day two. Sadly, I never picked up the earthy rusticity that I found in this wine a month ago.

Medium copper gold. Orange rind, ripe apple, citrus, brown butter, light caramel, beeswax, nuts, and spice, with medium-minus acidity and particularly good persistence. Lightly oxidative style. Good intensity, and great viscosity. Very intriguing. A fascinating wine! If you are into Pinot Grigio or Riesling, this is not for you, make no mistake. But if you like aged white wines, and dry sherry, and you can embrace the oxidative style, this wine is definitely worth a try. And excellent value for money. I liked it a lot! Drink now.

Nose: Earthy and rustic; provides a fresh country farm feel. Palate: Tart dark raspberry with prickly tannins, high acid; on the finish the raspberry grows riper and brighter. 40% Grenache, 40% Lladoner Pelut, 10% Syrah, 10% Carignan.

Der Wein ist in einer beeindruckenden Verfassung.

In der Nase dunkle Beeren, etwas Pflaume, vor allem aber Tabak, dunkle Kräuter, etwas Tomaten-Sugonund auch etwas Barbecue. Über den Abend wird das sehr frisch, wird recht kräutrig und gezielt sehr minzig. Spannend.

Am Gaumen hat das Zug, Säure, Tiefe, Spannung, you name it. Ich bin tatsächlich ins Staunen versetzt, denn jeder Schluck, jedes Glas offenbart eine neue Facette. Wunderbar in Balance, einfach mühelos reif, eine objektive Beschreibung fällt mir heute wirklich schwer.

Obligatorisch: Lang, anhaltend, nachhaltend. Wirklich auch nochmal pikant und dunkel funkelnd mineralisch,

Herausragend, ich muss jetzt versuchen, das irgendwo zu bekommen.

Super complex aroma – red apple, cinnamon, banana, bubblegum, orange zest, butter, some brown sugar/caramel, and poached pear. The palate is beautifully warm and spicy, akin to mulled cider, with a viscous texture and a certain Falstaffian good cheer, resolving with brown butter and a long finish. So I’m not normally a huge fan of Grenache Blanc, but this absolutely worked. I’d love a little more acidity, but if you like buttery and full-bodied whites, this’ll be your jam.

Spicy with many of the dark red berries and black olive notes you'd expect from this kind of blend. Decent, but lacks some harmony of the spiciness, boldness and acidity.

Fruity and herbal with a touch of smokiness. Flavourful and well balanced. Dark fruits such as plums and dark cherries, French herbs with vanilla, smoke and leather as background flavours.
Yet another excellent wine from this region, that is starting to become a favorite of mine.

Bought after an impressive tasting at the Sampler. Deep magenta purple in colour. Ripe plums on the nose, blackberries on the palate. Nice tannins and balance. Nice length. Great value wine.

Rich, creamy, yellow matured fruit, nutty, some butter on the nose. The mouthfeel is rather focused and mineral.

french funk; huge earth and fruit; some syrah-like bitterness on the finish; you get a sense of place here, but bigger than i usually prefer

G2: Wines from Languedoc and Roussillon with some age (Skype): Wine 5 of 6. The blend includes Grenache, Carignan, La Donner Pelut, Syrah. From old vines. Dark garnet colour. Dark, raisiny fruit, intense herbal notes, chocolate, and spice notes, with medium(-) acidity, firm, partly resolved tannin, and very good length. Nice old age sweetness. Consistent on day two. More raisiny than I ususally like, but somehow this wine pulls it off. Drink now.

(à l'av.)
Aéré, sa finesse sudiste fut un vrai régal: des notes dépices, d'évolution, de violette, on sent la syrah, le fruité est un peu discret, le tertiaire l'emporte mais l'ensemble reste assez fin, en nuances. Surtout, la trame en dentelle (qui m'évoque le carignan) est assez remarquable, il offre de beaux tanins épanouis, polis, soyeux, et une touche de fraicheur acidulée sur la finale.

Dark ruby colour. Ripe, boiled down red and dark fruit, light chocolate, garrigue, spices, liquorice, a light gamy aspect, light mineral notes, and a touch of mint, with good, medium-level acidity, fine, well-integrated tannin and very good length. The warming alcohol tamed a little with aeration, but remained disturbing even on day two.

The wine's density and concentration stands out, no doubt, but the Puff the Magic Dragon heat from the alcohol is off-putting. A hot, stewed fruit mess, basically. Wow, that was unexpected. I really did not like this wine at all!

Pretty complex wine, this. Tropical fruits, especially pineapple lead, followed by some roasted nuts from a presumably oxidative wine making style. Colour was golden. Lacked freshness but seemed to have the acidity dribble factor.

Very bright. Smokey. Zippy. Fruity nose and palate but with a nice, mineral type finish. Does wet cement sound bad? I don’t want it too. This is great for 17 retail. There’s a lot of wine here Just getting going and it’s a wonderful start. First time with this winery and I don’t know anything about them.

Mit dem ersten Schluck sofort als gut gelungen empfunden. Schöner Grenache...irgendwie hat der sich im Glas dann aber nicht weiter entwickelt. Für mich war nach 2 Gläsern ok. Das passiert mir bei gutem Wein selten...

Angelica Wine Club - Mediterranean (Lot One, Potts Point): Waxy, slightly oxidative; skin contact? A little lemon and mandarin peel. The palate is very much a reflection of the nose. Waxy, a little tannin burr across the mid palate, lacks acidity arguably. Hmm.
