Terres d'Encre Saint Joseph Syrah 2020

Last bottle of this really good Rhône red. Been about a year since I’ve had it. Red fruit forward, but not jammy. Raspberry, dried herbs, black pepper. Medium-long finish with tartness and a little astringency. With mushroom kale quiche and side salad. — a month ago

Condrieu Viognier 2015

After my discovery of Coteau du Vernon from Vernay this Condrieu from Gangloff has been the star of the night. Aromatically explosive on the nose with notes of honeysuckle and peach. In the mouth alcohol is happily controlled for a 2015 ouf! super equilibrium with pot pourri and peach. A jewel of a wine unfortunately they do not make much of it. — 7 years ago

Sainte Agathe Syrah 2020

Basket of fresh black and red fruits, smoky notes, roasted, charcoal, pepper, violet. The nose suggests a little residual sugar, except it will turn out to be very dry in the mouth. Supple and beautiful creaminess, the texture in the mouth is beautiful. Côte-Rôtie style. Superb for its price.

Panier de fruits frais noirs et rouges, notes fumées, rôties, charbon, poivre, violette. Le nez suggère un peu de sucre résiduel, hors il se révélera très sec en bouche. Souplesse et belle onctuosité, la texture en bouche est magnifique. De la puissance totalement enrobée. Une Cote Rôtie masquée, sous le nom Vin de France. Superbe pour son prix!

Pop and pour. Notes from 4 hrs open. On the nose: freshly cut honeysuckle, then loads of flowers, mint, soft honey and wet stone. On the palate: excellent acidity, wet stone, ginger, medicinal herbs, fantastic density. Better than my last btl...definitely one of my condrieu standards. Yum! — 5 years ago

Côte-Rôtie Syrah 2015

There is a smokey thing happening in the front and then comes blackberry. There is a bit of bacon too, lurking in the back. Nothing out of the extraordinary. The palate shows a strong acid backbone but curiously it's rather vertical. There is not so much matter which is odd when I check it against my previous côte rôtie encounters but it's rather wide. Blackberry all along, some lively tannins, with a bit of a drying effect. There is a bitterness in the end. Well, I sure expected a bit more weight and matter but it's not unpleasant. The last côte rôtie I had was jamet's 2008 so yes we are in a different, inferior league here, but it's still good and enjoyable. — 6 years ago

Coteau de Vernon Condrieu Viognier 2008

Opened just prior to dinner. The 2008 Coteau de Vernon pours a deep straw color with medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of peach cup with the pears and cherry too. There’s white flowers, honey, fresh mint and other herbs too. Wow! On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and oily. This bottle came across young. A benchmark Condrieu. Drink now through 2038. — 3 months ago

Proof that great wine doesn’t have to be expensive (a total contradiction to all of our other posts! 🤦‍♂️)
We love this classic French brasserie and this Cote Rotie is the perfect accompaniment to our poulet 🐔
Rich, fruity, smooth and very drinkable…
