Llum Grenache Gris Maccabeu 2015

Côtes Catalanes as of this vintage. Riesling-like stone fruit blossoms, lime leaf, galangal, lemongrass, chamomile. Savory and saline, then tender and refined. 12% alc. A miracle, given the blazing hot growing season. #rocdesanges #roussillon #côtescatalanes — 5 years ago

Château de Pena

Côtes du Roussillon Villages Red Blend 2015

Vintage 2015 - a very nice every day wine with sweet grenache smell and spicy smooth taste. Dangerous, because you drink glass after glass after glass with a lot of joy. Partnered with Coeur de Boeuf tomatos filled with minced meat from the oven #roussillon — 7 years ago

Roussillon Grenache Gris Blend

9.0

Blend of #Grenachegris and #grenacheblanc and #Macabeu.
Alluvial Rolled clay pebbles for the Macabeu.
Shale (schist) lands for Grenache.
Fermentation of musts in demi muids (500 l), aging on lees. Racking of wines and bottling without fining (a little reduction on the nose)

Segna de Cor Côtes du Roussillon Villages Red Blend 2016

Achingly pure, filigreed and delineated...not the words you associate with Roussillon wine. But old vines, careful bio viticulture and the daring to harvest at the precise arrival of ripeness (13%) make for a modern-day version of iron fist in velvet glove. And on top of all that, the Catalan qualities shine through more and more with each successive vintage. Fraises, bramble, confits of tiny red fruits and the persistent haunt of black, low pH schist. Extraordinary. #rocdesanges #grenache #carignane #roussillon #catalonia — 6 years ago

Tessellae Old Vines Côtes du Roussillon Red Rhone Blend 2013

A modern approach to the GSM. Richly layered with ripe red fruits. Decadently delicious. #tessellae #roussillon — 8 years ago

Really rich and ripe and full bodied. Not my style. While the fruit is ripe, it is not too ripe and still has red and black fruit aromas and flavors. #roussillon #cotesderoussillon #france — 4 years ago

Segna de Cor Côtes du Roussillon Villages Red Blend 2014

To my taste, the best year-in, year-out red of French Catalonia. The confit red fruits, pie spice, bramble and wood smoke on the nose make you think it’s going to be a sledgehammer...and then it’s all elegance, filigree and lift on the palate, as it’s only 12.5% alcohol. Simple, non-interventionist vinification, but none of that natural bullshit. Everything in perfect order. #rocdesanges #roussillon #grenache #syrah #carignane — 5 years ago

L'Effet Papillon Carignan Blend 2015

Blackberry. Iron. Schist. Plenty of grip, but lift and freshness to match. Best Effet Rouge to date! #roussillon #carignane #syrah #grenachenoir — 8 years ago
