Antoine Luyt

Huasa de Pilen Alto País 2013

Controversial French winemaker Louis-Antoine Luyt delivers a #pais wine from 100+ year-old vines from Cauquenes in the Maule Valley. Funky and reduced after uncorked, a much-needed aeration (in a water jug, mind you) brought to life a juicy, tense and extremely refreshing wine. The liquid was totally opaque, bringing a new meaning to the words "unfiltered & unfined". I remember a couple of years ago having a heated debate with another Frenchman who was making a documentary about Luyt who told me how wines like this battle against the homogenisation of flavours. Not for everyone. You can find it with Louis/Dressner if in the USA. — 9 years ago

Great review

This is a great summary that I think pretty much applies to all Luyt's wines. Let's hope winemakers like him stem the tide of homogenization. But as you say, not for everyone.

Marqués de Casa Concha Limited Edition Old Vines/Dry Farmed Secano Interior-Cauquenes Pais Cinsault 2014

15/20 (85/100)

Очень легкое вино, масса малины, леденцы, жвачка, очень легкий, яркий. Вкус слегка резиновый, плотные танины, легкое летнее вино к сырам и закускам.

I think we are the end of that supply chain.

Baptiste Cuvelier

Cuvée del Maule Red Bordeaux Blend 2011

The maker of this wine worked for Antoine Luyt, and he's in the same region, Caquenes. Still a naturally made wine, this is more approachable and food-friendly but a bit more tannic than the Luyt I had yesterday. And much less funky. But the 14% alcohol is potent and doesn't work as well. 6 grape blend including #pais. Great steak wine though. Good thing I had steak with it. Very enjoyable. — 8 years ago

HOUSE Casa del Vino

Aterciopelado Maule Valley Red Blend 2014

15.5/20 (87/100)

Леденцово-малиново-перечный аромат, белый, ароматный перец. Сладковато-цветочные тона. Тело средней плотности, вкус леденцово-перченый, необычный. Достаточно сухие танины, выраженная кислотность. Очень своеобразно.
