This past January, I was lucky enough to attend a fantastic, exclusive barrel wine tasting in Cincinnati, Ohio. This tasting offered a selection of very “Chateauneuf” wines from various villages in the Southern Rhone region of France. I have chosen a few of my favorite wines from this tasting to share with you. This is a very exclusive buy with limited quantities to which I committed. Let us know if you would like us to put a special bottle aside for you!
- Domaine Boisson Cotes du Rhone Cairanne Villages Blanc 2010: “Always rich and full-bodied, this wine from the South has mineral undertones.”- winemaker notes. $21.99/bottle.
- Domaine Boisson Cotes du Rhone 2010: “Identified by pure fruit and a lovely equilibrium. This is a fruity wine, which goes down easily, revealing ripe red fruit flavours of strawberry and cherry, heightened by a touch of liquorice.”- winemakers notes. $14.99/bottle.
- Domaine Boisson Cotes du Rhone Cairanne Villages 2010: “Offers copious amounts of strawberry and black cherry fruit intermixed with underbrush/foresty/earthy notes, pepper and spice box.”-Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate. $21.99/bottle.
- Domain Olivier Hillaire Cotes-du-Rhone Veilles Vignes 2010: “A pleasant, straightforward, Grenache-dominated wine that is best drunk over the next 2-3 years.”- Robert Parker. $17.99/bottle.
- Mas de Boislauzon Cotes-du-Rhone Villages 2010: “One of the finest of the area. Lots of plum, balsamic, cassis, and black cherry jam aromas, followed by a lavishly fruity, silky texture. A winner!”- Robert Parker. $19.99/bottle.
- Domaine de la Cote de l’Ange Cotes du Rhone 2010: “2010 appears to be this domaine’s strongest vintage since the brillian 2007s!”-Robert Parker. $19.99/bottle.
- Domaine de la Cote de l’Ange Chatueauneuf-du-Pape 2010: “Exhibits a dark/ruby/purple color as well as deep, dark raspberry fruit intermixed with lavender, incense and camphor notes.”- Robert Parker. $46.99/bottle.
- Bosquet des Papes Cotes du Rhone 2010: “80% Grenache, 10% Syrah, and 10% Cinsault- a lovely smooth soft wine for drinking now. “-winemaker notes. $19.99 per bottle.
- Domaine Lafond Roc-Epine Cotes du Rhone 2010: “A real pleasure bomb, with loads of fruit (black cherries and raspberries), the delicious, mid-weight 2010 is everything a wine from the generic appellation should be.”- Robert Parker. $15.99 per bottle.
