Les Cocalières Coteaux du Languedoc White Rhone Blend

This is the red.

Full bodied with Asian pear, peach skins, and almonds drizzled with honey. Lots of minerality on the finish that seems to go on for days. Lush but far from cloying. Has more time ahead of it.

In anticipation of a visit to the domaine on Monday enjoying this fleshy ripe orchard fruit full cocalieres.

Golden rich, lemon zested compote of apple and white raisin. Rich with chamomile flavor and some tannin on the finish. Low acid

An elegant coconut of a wine. Round, vanilla tropics. Buttered lobster or snapper with Béchamel pairing. A very original wine.

2024 spring. Very good though the 2013 had a better balance of development and freshness

2024 spring. Amazing - mature, lovely Rousanne / Marsanne-based blend, and a deal

We’re having a Thai style tofu and sautéed vegetables paired with a 2020 Languedoc blend of 30% Roussanne, 30% Vermentino, 20% Grenache Blanc, 20% Marsanne.

This wine is bone dry, aromatic, medium alcohol (13% ABV), medium acidity, medium body and mouthfeel, with aromas and flavors of beeswax, orange blossom, melon, tart apricot, grapefruit pith, blanched almonds, and wet slate.

This wine offers precision and balance. It’s a lovely accompaniment to the meal, holding up, but not competing, and adding lift to the sensory experience.

Cheers to Domaine d’Aupilhac and Winemaker Sylvain Fadat!

A very complex and delicious white of Rousanne, Marsanne, Grenache Blanc, Vermentino and Clairette, works best with food, like some Roger Vergé fish dishes🇫🇷

Lemon and vanilla. Off-dry. Hint of tartness. Roussane-30%, Vermentino-30%, Marsanne-20%, Grenache Blanc-20%.
