Côtes du Rhône Sierra du Sud Domaine Gramenon 2022 75cl

Chateauneuf du Pape La Part des Anges Domaine Raymond Usseglio 2022 75 cl


70% of Mourvèdre
20% Grenache
10% Syrah

A late variety and very capricious, mourvèdre is certainly one of the most demanding grape varieties in the south of France, especially when it is situated at the northern limit of its cultivation. This cuvee benefits from a rather marked breeding to accompany the tannic power of the grape variety. When a wine is put in cask for its breeding, part of its volume evaporates it is called "THE PART OF THE ANGELS".

The PART OF ANGELS is a rather special vintage for a Châteauneuf du Pape because it is the Mourvèdre that dominates the blend 70% supplemented with Grenache 20% and a little Syrah 10%. Plan a carafage if you want to taste this wine before its 2-3 first years of care. Unfiltered wine please excuse a possible natural deposit and beneficial to the aging of the wine.

Gigondas Hominis Fides Castle of Saint Cosimo 2021 

Very old grenache planted on Miocene limestone sands at a place called "Hominis Fides". Whole harvest. Twelve month aging: 20% in new pieces - 50% in pieces of one wine - 30% in pieces of two and three wines.

The sands of Miocene are, in Gigondas as in the rest of the valley of the Rhone, a geological event posterior to the great uprising of the lace of Montmirail. When the Alps rise, they, like a sheet of paper that we tilt, "open" the Rhone Valley, allowing the sea to engulf itself like a snake finding its way. The sea then covers Lyon, circling the Alpine arc; the Luberon and the Ventoux are only islands, prehistoric fish frolic in the chapel of Saint Cosme and ammonites accumulate in phenomenal quantities. At this time, sands are deposited in our region: we find them in many sites in the Southern Rhone Valley: in the Uchaux massif, Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Gigondas ... Much later, the small ants that we decide to grow vitis vinifera on these sands, and it turns out that the grenache finds there an amazing field of expression. The old Grenache vine in the Miocene sands is the aromatic finesse, the elegant texture, the depth in the mouth. When the wine ages, it takes notes of Morey Saint Denis pinot: peony and small red berries. What a great idea to have planted at the dawn of the twentieth century, 12 years before the Great War, this vineyard that is always with us.

GIGONDAS RED Cuvée Des Blaches 2019

Field of ESPIERS

100% Serine (old syrah).

Whole harvest. Schists and Micaschists in places called Semons, But de Mont, Les Bercheries, Maison Rouge, Rozier, Cote Rozier, Besset and Bodin.
Aged for twelve months: 30% in new barrels – 70% in barrels of one wine.
What a vintage in Cote Rotie! It has been a long time since I had obtained such wines. When you taste all the barrels and everything is great, it's like visualizing the color palette that a painter will use. The different localities express themselves in such a precise and beautiful way that you wonder if you are not on the greatest terroir in the world. The mica schists are capable in 2019 of producing a finesse imbued with charm and mystery, the wines exude wild blackberry, pencil lead, smoked ham, iodine: pure magic. Then on the palate, the textured sweetness blends with the natural freshness of serine when it is grown in its northern limit. This 2019 is not to be missed under any circumstances as it evokes its glorious predecessors of 1991, 1999 and 2007. I set out to discover the Cote Rotie in 1997: after 24 vintages of practice in this wonderful terroir, I believe that the slightly warmer vintages (like 2019) are fine here. Moreover, it suffices to refer to the primary and literal meaning of “Cote-Rôtie” to be convinced of this.
