Le Chemin Red Blend 2019
As far as Provence rouge, it’s a tough category and not one my clientele has inquired about. Côtes du Rhône and CdP are what the consumer is familiar with and asks for by name. It’s up to the salesman to suggest Bandol, Cassis, Minervois, Corbieres, etc. At the moment there is simply too much wine on the market and the average consumer reaches for familiarity. Drink what you know.

Vin Biologique Chemin des Prieres Muscadet 2022
A favourite. This wine manages to contain all the lovely attributes of muscadet - mineral, lemon, apple, lactic taste - whilst keeping the pure fruit at the core but having a lovely sea freshness too. — 5 months ago

Chemin de Sainte-Epine Saint-Joseph Syrah 2017
Nose is so seductive. Wow. Violets. Meat, dark berry fruit. Unreal granite and just so expressive. I’m thrilled how great this is. Stunning. Raspberry spice cake. Just sick. 9.6 nose. Smells like God’s Jelly Donut. Palate is juicy, precise and lean. Wow is this slathered with minerals, but seems a bit closed initially. But man is poised, concentrated and slathered with gorgeous minerals. Long floral/berry infused finish. Let’s see how this develops but so fine now. — 2 years ago

It’s getting increasingly difficult to find traditional Cotes de Provence AOC reds. Is it that American importers aren’t interested, or are Provençal producers making less and less in favor of cash-flow-friendly rose? I don’t know. But this is a nice one. Near equal parts Grenache, Mourvèdre, and Syrah. Nose is complex, with spicy dark berry ooze, roasted herbs, iodine, crushed rock. Mouthfilling and with some serious weight, it’s a lot like a good Gigondas or Vacqueyras in style. Very savory- leaning flavors. 14.5% alc. Still some significant tannic presence, but it’s not intrusive. This will actually improve, I think, over the next couple of years. — 10 hours ago
