The Blonde Bombshell

Domaine Georges Vernay

Blonde du Seigneur Côte-Rôtie Syrah

Black olive, burnt bacon, rosemary and herbs. Bold, dense body but the alcohol seems to lift it up easily. Mandatory lamb or steak. — a month ago

The one thing I liked about this offering from Outpost is part of the proceeds go to fight cancer. When you watch someone you love suffer from this terrible disease, it changes your life. In this case, it definitely has with the previous owners. Let’s hope the new Outpost owners (AXA) carry on this project as it was created. Only available through Outpost.

On the nose, butterscotch, lemon, lime, honey notes, overripe pineapple, green & golden apple, marzipan, pie crust, almonds, marmalade, vanilla, cream, and yellow flowers.

The palate is thick & round. Butterscotch, lemon, lime, honey notes, overripe pineapple, green & golden apple, marzipan, graham cracker, almond, marmalade, vanilla, cream, limestone minerals, saline and yellow flowers. The acidity is round & sound. The big, rich, elegant finish is quite nice.

Brune et Blonde de Guigal Côte-Rotie Syrah 2005

Still displaying the youth and vitality of a much younger wine, its black fruit appearance is dark and dense, the confirming perfumed aromatics and dark fruit flavors are still quite primary, and its structure is solid with ample fruit, light acidity, and supporting, chalky tannins at the long mouth coating finish. Definitely in its Golden Years. (Should be ideal with tonight’s Soy marinated Rack of Lsmb.)

Brune et Blonde Côte-Rôtie Syrah 1988

Color is fading from brick to orange, mature aromas of saddle leather, meat and some smoke, just a lovely older Cote Rotie, time to drink up. — 6 years ago

Côte Blonde Côte-Rôtie Syrah 2019

2019 vintage. Last tasted 07.30.23 (9.5). Good lord. This is still (unsurprisingly) effing ridiculous. Explosive and giving without being compliant. Every time tasting this, attempt to renounce Cabernet Sauvignon/BDX blends forever. Hopefully someday, I'll make it stick. 02.28.25. — 8 months ago

Rene & Pierre are a hell of a team. A great Rhône producer more should become familiar.
