Esprit Des Garrigues

Domaine Santa Duc

Les Hautes Garrigues Gigondas Red Rhone Blend 2016

Complex and ontruiming Gigondas. Dark fruit and plum in the background. Garrigue, of course 😉. Very well balanced, long aftertaste. On the young side, could improve over the next 5 years! 4 left in the cellar. — 6 days ago

Intruiging instead of ontruiming. Stupid autocorrecting!

Tablas Creek Vineyard

Esprit de Tablas Adelaida District Mourvedre Blend 2021

Read the hype, bought the bargain, drank it alone like a responsible adult. Too bad the 2021 is too young and tight-wound at first, but on day three it exhaled and pulled me completely inward. Magnetic. I am sold. Deep and complex, there are too many layers to name, but i immensely enjoy the fruit’s push against the savory pull. Quietly persuasive rather than flashy. — 9 months ago

@Tom Casagrande, is there a particular “village” in the Côtes du Rhône somewhere on the label?? I always thought (but hopelessly old and with a failing memory) that to bear the CdRV AOC, there had to be an identified village?!?!

@Doug Powers - Nope. My understanding is that if it’s from one particular village within the CDRV limits they have the right to do so, but not required. And multi village blends within the limits would be just CDRV.

Bouquet des Garrigues Côtes du Rhône White Rhone Blend 2023

Solid white with subtle mineral, floral, and citrus notes. I don't have much experience with white CDRs so not much to compare it to. — 2 months ago

Esprit Blanc de Tablas Roussanne Blend 2022

33% Roussanne, 32% Grenache Blanc, 14% Picpoul, muted aromatics, mineral and tart fruits on the palate, less oily/viscous than the 2021, lingering finish, I marginally prefer the better balanced 2021 to this 2022. — 3 months ago

Esprit de Pavie

Red Bordeaux Blend 2011

2018 vintage. A blend of Merlot (65%), Cabernet Franc (20%), and Cabernet Sauvignon from diverse vineyards in Saint-Emilion and Côtes de Castillon owned by the Perse family. Aged for 15 months in used barrels from Pavie and Monbousquet. A solid,bold wine, ready to drink, with good fruit and some of the chalkiness that I associate with Castillon. Abv. 14,5%. — 9 months ago

Cuvée Grand Esprit Marquis de La Mystèriale Champagne Blend

This is definitely an extra dry. The champagne starts dry and finishes dry. In between there is nice green apple. A very nice drinking champagne!!! — 6 years ago
