Good wine very drinkable and enjoyable — 7 months ago

Château de Montfaucon

Côtes du Rhône Red Rhône Blend 2011

Really nice color still, from a vintage lacking accolades, yet Rudi made a really fine little CdR this vintage, medium-long finish, very good! Cepage here is 50% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 15% Carignan, 10% Cinsault, 5% Counoise; in these earlier days, before Rudi segregated his Lirac fruit from his other CdR fruit (both in this CdR and in the “Baron Louis” CdR), this CdR was a screaming value with great quality; however, I now much prefer the basic Lirac and “Baron Louis” Lirac to the regular CdR still being produced at this domaine!! — 9 months ago

Hooked Riesling

Sure, it’s a gimmicky label, sure it’s a no name, importer brand Mosel- but for under 13$, a nicely balanced kabinet style ( but Qba) reisling. For the Mrs, rs & acid the right way. I’d be curious who supplies the grapes — 3 years ago

Château de Montfaucon

Baron Louis Côtes du Rhône Red Rhône Blend 2000

En Magnum, purchased from le Petit Baron de Montfaucon at the winery. Absolutely lovely and still should develop, nowadays Rudi (des Pins) labels this as a Lirac, lovely balance, medium-long finish, wonderful CdR!! — 2 years ago

Mountfaucon

Monsieur Le Baron de Montfaucon Vin de Pays du Gard Red Rhone Blend 2010

MAGNUM! This is an unique blend of all the permitted grapes in Chateauneuf (red and white), named after Rudi’s grandfather, that plays well above its humble Vin de Pays du Gard, complex, rich, structured, needs 5+ more years, great wine!!

(Disclosure — Rudi is a friend through my brother, who imports his wines, but the front label shows the 12th Century chateau on the Rhône across from Chateauneuf, just south of the Lirac appellation!!)

@Ira Schwartz it is, while just a Vin de Pays, it’s honestly the best wine they make (it’s only made in the best years, great elegance)!

Wösendorfer Kirchweg Smaragd Riesling 2015

You can tell this is an absolutely gorgeous wine but may be in a muted phase right now. Pure, pristine mineral. Nectarine. Cuts like glass. — 2 years ago

9.1

Nose displays white peach, green apple, lime, ripe starfruit, touch a dry hay, and hint of honey. The palate, bright and lively, is a bit leaner than the medium to fu body suggests. Fascinating bitter sweet on the finish.
Should drink more GV.

Terrassen Smaragd Wachau Riesling 2016

Good. A little bit of green apples on this, perhaps a little oxidized cause it felt like a lot older bottle but serious stuff — 3 years ago
