Le ROC Sauvignon Blanc 2015

“We exploit 2.01 hectares (fives acres) out of a magic vineyard that covers 9 hectares (22 acres) over the village of Saint-Satur. Flint terroir represents 15% of Sancerre appellation and Le Roc might be its ultimate reference. It is also the very last land acquisition of the domaine in 2011.......... The wine is vinified in a 7hl (184 gallon) vertical ovoid tank, in demi-muids and in thermo-regulated stainless steel tanks. Maturation on fine lees for 12 months.” Organic viticulture and Ambient yeast.

Roc Saint Constant

Minervois Red Blend 2018

Medium ruby colour. Black fruit aroma. Not super intense so just hints of black cherries and butter. Tastes of juicy woody fruits. Acidity makes it bright and together with tannins this real wakes up the palate. A bit 1 note and not a huge finish but a really engaging wine all the same. — 5 years ago

Closerie Saint Roc

Red Bordeaux Blend 2016

A Bordeaux wine totally free from Bordeaux references and "folklore" for our greatest pleasure. Superb expression of terroir and fruit, under the label "vin de France" Attack and body full of freshness and vivacity. Noble material in the mouth. Drying finish again, it is to be put in the cellar.

Un vin de Bordeaux totalement affranchi des références et du « folklore » bordelais pour notre plus grand plaisir. Superbe expression du terroir et du fruit, sous l’étiquette « vin de France » Attaque et corps pleins de de fraîcheur et de vivacité. Noble matière en bouche. Finale asséchante encore; comme lu ailleurs, c’est à mettre en cave.

Cave de Roquebrun

Sir de Roc Brun Saint-Chinian Red Rhone Blend 2013

second wine from the same winery in st chinian which is a part of Languedoc-Roussillon wine region.
the first one was newer (2016) and felt too oaky.

60% mourvedre
20% grenache
20% syrah

14% ABV

dense brownish red 👀

wet soil, leather, tobbaco, oak related spices and hinted blackberies. and some 🍄👃

medium plus body.
high acidity.

tart attack first.
then a chewy spicy candy with hints of fruit👄

long 🎯 with the dirt taste lingering and then switched by firm but light tannins drying things up in a pleasent way.

excelent vfm (75 nis but in france)

had it for three days.

first day it shined with heavily umamied vegan 'bolognese' and pasta (based on mushroom variety and black lentils).

second day it got fruitier with not 100% traditionly made arancini.

third day had it on it's own.

it stayed the same wine throughout those days.
was always better when poured with an aerator pourer.

I'm wondering if it was a better wine than the other newer wine, or if it is time that balanced it.

the conclusion is clear:
i need to visit my friend in 🇫🇷 and drink some more.
