Syrah from France

Château Saint-Roch Roubials Côtes Catalanes 2022

Grenache grapes were harmoniously paired with about 10-20% Shiraz to create this wonderful cuvée from the province of Roussillon in the south of France. This wine was produced in the picturesque canton of La Vallée d’Agly near the little town of Maury, in which the tireless winemaker and owner of the estate, Jean-Marc Lafage, grew up and thus knows the terroir like the back of his hand.After he had taken over the vineyards in 2006, he created a wine from grapes that ripened on slate soils at an altitude of 140 metres. The sumptuous richness and warm texture of the Saint-Roch also result from Jean-Marc Lafage’s habit of waiting to harvest the grapes until they’ve reached maximum maturity, on the verge of being overripe. They are then picked by hand from 30-60-year-old vines, and the wine matures in tanks after a brief maceration. Subsequently, the Saint-Roch Roubials was aged for 11 months in 500-litre casks made of French oak, of which 20% were new barrels.It is thus no surprise that this wine from Southern France is vibrant and of great stature, and is often compared to Italian Amarone wines or the renowned Super Tuscans. The spicy and powerful Saint-Roche Roubials is a deep red in colour. On the nose, it is fresh and spicy, offering an abundance of fruit aromas such as black berries, liquorice, chocolate and plums. The wine is ample, inviting and juicy on the palate, showing a good, solid structure and a light sweetness. The finish is long, with soft and well-integrated tannins.The Saint-Roche Roubials is impressively full-bodied but not too strong. It is a perfect accompaniment to steaks, spicy meat loaf or grilled dishes. It is also a real insider’s tip to enjoy on a long winter evening in front of a fireplace.Robert Parker as well as the Wine Advocate award the Saint-Roch-Roubials 92 points (2016 vintage), whilst the 2017 vintage was awarded 92 points by Jeb Dunnuck.

Clos Saint Jean Châteauneuf-du-Pape La Combe des Fous AOC 2020

Der Clos Saint Jean Chateauneuf du Pape La Combe des Fous 2020, hergestellt aus Trauben der Hügellage "La Crau" vom Châteauneuf-du-Pape Weingut Clos Saint Jean, wird oftmals als Kultwein oder Ikone beworben. Wir halten ihn schlichtweg für einen der herausragenden Châteauneuf-du-Pape Weine überhaupt, vinifiziert von der inzwischen fünften Generation der Maurels, den Besitzern von Clos Saint Jean. Ihr Vorfahre, Edmont Tacussel, hatte diese Lage zwischen 1905 und 1910 bepflanzt, und diese Reben stehen dort immer noch. Da der Weinberg so durchsetzt war mit riesigen Kieseln und es mit dem Pferd eigentlich aussichtslos war, hier Weinbergsarbeit zu betreiben, wurde die Lage "La Combe des Fous" genannt, der Hügel der Verrückten. Letztlich stellte sich dieser Rebberg als eine, wenn nicht die beste Lage der ganzen Gegend heraus, und die Weine, die von hier stammen, sind Châteauneuf-du-Pape der Spitzenklasse.Höchst geringer Ertrag, Handlese und über 100 Jahre alte Reben machen hier den Stoff aus, aus dem Träume sind. Die Assemblage besteht aus 60% Grenache, 20% Syrah 10% Cinsault und weiteren 10% Vaccarese. Der Grenache wird übrigens im 600 Liter-Holzfass ausgebaut, die anderen Rebsorten geniessen eine Nachreifung für 12 Monate in neuen Eichenfässern.In der Nase ein äußerst pikanter Charme mit Anklängen von Waldbeeren, viel Schwarzkirsche, Pflaume, Lavendel, Wildkräuter, Schlehe, Tabak, schwarze Oliven und Tee. Der Gaumen ist fein aufgelöst, sehr ausdrucksvoll, würzig und elegant und zu den zuvor erwähnten Aromen gesellen sich Pralinen, Salz und Grapefruit. Das alles steht in perfekter Harmonie zueinander, schön ausgewogen und balanciert, nichts, was hier zu dominant oder gar erschlagend wirken könnte. Das Terroir ist einfach so genial und magisch, dass hier alles seinen Platz findet. Der Nachhall ist überwältigend lang.

Clos Saint Jean Châteauneuf-du-Pape La Combe des Fous AOC 2021

The Clos Saint Jean Chateauneuf du Pape La Combe des Fous 2021, made from grapes from the "La Crau" hillside vineyard of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape estate Clos Saint Jean, is one of the outstanding Châteauneuf du Pape wines of recent years. Vincent and Pascal Maurel, now the fifth generation of the Maurel family, are unwaveringly continuing the tradition of the renowned château. Their ancestor, Edmont Tacussel, planted this site between 1905 and 1910, and the vines are still there today. As the vineyard was so riddled with huge pebbles and it was actually hopeless to work the vines here on horseback, the site was named "La Combe des Fous", the hill of the madmen. In the end, this vineyard turned out to be one of, if not the best vineyard in the entire region, and the wines that come from here are top-class Châteauneuf-du-Pape.Very low yields, hand-picking and vines over 100 years old are the stuff dreams are made of. The blend consists of 60% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 10% Cinsault and a further 10% Vaccarese. The Grenache is aged for 9 months in concrete tanks, while the other grape varieties are matured for 9 months in exclusively new oak barrels.Lots of fruit on the nose; very black berry, spicy, cassis, lots of black cherry, herbs, some forest floor, tea, tobacco and mocha. The palate is fresh, harmonious and well-balanced. Tannins and acidity are elegantly and delicately balanced with the impressive fruit aromas. The finish is wonderfully long and makes the 2021 La Combe des Fous a lasting experience.
