L'ostal Levant

Domaine de la Butte

Les Coteaux du Levant Bourgueil Cabernet Franc 2020

Burgundian style with typical cab franc markers. A little brett, rustic, some green pepper. High toned red with a very dark fruited bass note. Lithe and firm. Not super concentrated. After 3 hours starts to soften. Probably needed a few more years in the cellar. If you like the funk this rips with a fatty steak. // edit: got very pretty on night two. More of a roast chicken wine now — 3 days ago

Larmandier-Bernier

Vieille Vigne du Levant Grand Cru Champagne Blend 2008

Great wine. Definitely worth trying again but I felt this was a bit one dimensional. A lot of pear, white fruit and slight apple, brioche and with slight acidity and but didn't change much after. I tried in 2025 so its 17 years old so maybe its past its peak or its waning but its my first wine of this age so maybe i need to try more. Either way, it's a delicious wine — 11 days ago

Fioretti Cahors Malbec

Wow. Brambly, crunchy, blackberries, clean, linear and expansive…. Subtle effervescence that held throughout the bottle. Buy all of them if you come across. It’s one of those bottles you ask, what else can you give? A very much perfect bottle but I can’t give 100 for some reason. — 3 years ago

Domaine L'Ostal Cazes

La Livinière Minervois Red Blend 2016

2016 vintage. Jean-Michel Cazes (owner of famous Pauillac Cru Classé Lynch-Bages and more recently Haut-Batailley) bought this Minervois estate in 2002. This is the "grand vin", a blend of 70% Syrah, 15% Carignan, 20% Grenache and 5% Mourvèdre. A very spicy concentrated wine that is more about power than finesse. The colour is still deep dark red with hardly any sign of evolution. Intense spicy nose. Bold and powerful with black fruit hidden in spices. Long peppery finish. Take no prisoners. Abv. 14,5%. — 3 years ago
