Domaine Richaud
Cuvée l'Ebrescade Côtes du Rhône Villages Red Rhône Blend
Côtes du Rhône Villages, Southern Rhône, Rhône, France
I adore this wine. Nose is big cassis blackberry, red currant, herbs de Provence, garrigue, minerals and clay. This always needs air but man is this roaring out of the gates. Palate is so juicy, so nimble and just bursting with incredible fruit. Amazing purity and such tiny berry fruit intensity. This is so Balanced and shockingly showing no heat which is usually part of the program with this cuvee but not this one. Man this is delicious. Such vibrancy and depth. Big ripe tannins and lovely granite and minerals. Also herbal and such a long finish. Wonderful. This will breathe and get better. Amazing concentration and maybe the best fruit I’ve had on a young l’ebrescade.

Mar 11th, 2022The one and only. One of the most delicious and singular wines on the planet. This would be on my list of top 10 overlooked wines on the planet. The nose is banging. Big cassis, lavender, herbs, kirsch and flowers. So refined. Some black and blue berries. Just so vivid and detailed. No Cairanne can touch this wine. Perfect balance. Stunning texture, exquisite fruit and gorgeous purity. Ripe but not too ripe and so much finesse. A big wine that’s not big. Elegant and refined tannins. Truly outrageous. I adore this wine. Young but so so good. Can age 25 years. Why wait? Concentrated and just teeming with energy. Treacly texture and such sapidity. Luscious.

Revisiting the wine that introduced us to Cairanne a couple years ago. At Les Bistro des Copains, formally Magnum and named after the Bistro in Occidental, CA.
