#AgedWineTuesday

Light golden in color.

Strong nose of citrus, yeast, limes, minerals, green apples, sea salt, light earth and herbs.

Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity and medium sized bubbles.

Dry on the palate with limes, green apples, herbs, bread, yeast, minerals, spices and sea salt.

Long finish with limes and bitter herbs.

This 12 year old Champagne is starting to drink beautifully. Elegant and fruit forward. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel. Soft and easy drinking.

Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.

Robert Parker 95 points.

Delicious by itself as a sipping wine, and paired nicely with food too.

Made with 100% Pinot Noir grapes. A small production of less than 12,000 bottles. Disgorged in 2021.

12.5% alcohol by volume.

This is a fun one for me. The winery sits on a limestone outcrop where Charlemagne had a large fortress. His warriors in the Roquetaillade were legendary hardos who famously ate sword tips in their salads. Hilarious!

This red blend is a highly extracted red that needs a lot more time in the bottle to mellow out, but drinks spectacularly once it relaxes. Briar and charred oak, blackberries and dark moody fruit.

The Roquetaillade warriors wouldn’t even need sword tips in this. — 4 years ago

Magnificent junction between Burgundy and Beaujolais, with this light red, floral, red fruits, gamay (?) that pinote splendidly. Bright acidity, finely persistent tannins; perfectly the type of wine that my palate loves.

Almost bandol rose-like on the nose. Quite bright… light red cherry with a steeliness and salinity. Young. A little simple but with age may soften into something interesting — 6 months ago
