Champin The Lord - Cote-Rotie - Jean-Michel Gerin

Rhone wines offer a whole bunch of names just as prestigious as each other. And then there has the "ting ting ting" (three shots on the cover glass) "Cotes du Rhone" (as whispered in the corner of the ear). Only listeners addicted like me to include large national radio stations.

My father loves the wines of Cote Rotie is that it tastes good. When the last weekend, I spend at home, he offers me a bottle of a union that has just acquired. And it is great I love them too.

A neighbor crossed into the elevator going up from the cellar trying to poke fun at the quality / price wines Ampuis. There is a real good taste of defeat in France is endorsed.

The bottle has been open for 48 hours. I was too lazy to write this comment before. At the same time, given his young age, the wine has to improve aeration. So I take the bottle with a cork kept vacuum pump. Except that failure to have a pump, I tried to suck much of the air with my lungs. All this is border-line. Imagine the scene.

So the dress is bright, a nice ruby. The nose, which has evolved since the opening, is still very powerful. I is not used to these wines, I find both strong and beguiling. No need to put in your mouth is a big one. The flavors were slightly allayed since the opening. But the smell of cherry, coffee, and many others back to me nez. C'est très beau.
En bouche, l'attaque est franche, et les tannins bien enveloppés. C'est équilibré avec de la matière.
Finale sur la cerise très très belle et prononcée. Je regoûte simplement pour la retrouver encore et encore.

La note de LGDD pour ce vin, c'est grand : 17,5/20.

Et bien sûr, vos commentaires sont toujours les bienvenus.

Cheers, NL

Twisted Bowel More Condition_symptoms

Domain Chesnaies - The Bretault - Anjou Chateau Latour-

J'admets avoir beaucoup de sympathie pour les vins de la Loire. Je ne saurai expliquer pourquoi. Peut-être parce qu'il y a peu, en remontant de Niort avec mon père, nous avons fait une halte à Vouvray. A première vue, nichée sur les banks of the Loire, this small town do not look. Quick stop at a wine shop in downtown and buy a few boxes of still and sparkling wines. And that's where we come out of the city I discovered the plateau covered Vouvray vineyards. The vines n'arborent still only buds but this view takes hold.

I ever had before Loire wines. From this passage, I feel like I appreciate them more.

Those who read me regularly know: my preference is to Bordeaux. And it was during a stint at a wine shop that just opened near me (Paris 5th - Cardinal Lemoine) I crack a Anjou, 100% Cabernet Sauvignon.

full circle. LGDD threadless tackles to wines of the Loire.

Wine is open for about an hour and was simply vented bottle. A glass has already been eaten, the opportunity to give my first impression. And wine, when I poured in the glass displays a beautiful velvety.
Then the dress is deep. The disc reveals purple hues that draw very lightly brown, first traces the evolution of the wine. The Anjou are not known to be keeping wines yet this one has already 5 years.
The nose is elegant with notes of vanilla and free bananas for a Cabernet surprising and yet very pleasant and tasty. On the palate, the attack is slender but good freshness. Then the wine is the body, typicality of cabernet expressed frankly in a whole grain tannins well now. The wine is long on the palate. The tannins are very thick and finally reveal all perfectly accompany a beautiful piece of beef.

LGDD's note for this wine: 14/20.

And of course, your comments are always welcome.
