• Not 2 Light Languedoc Summer Whites

  
  blind tasting club — Authority: 117
  White wines from Southern France aren’t only light summer wines. Such as Rhône wines they can be aromatic and powerful, simply outstanding. So naturally I didn’t hesitate to bring back 2 wines from Montpellier when I stopped there this summer, trusting the recommendations of a wineshop owner in the city. Finally I ...

• Biodynamic Wines with Revolution on their Mind, Le Temps des Cerises

  
  Serge the Concierge — Authority: 136
  Since I saw theses French wines mentioned on a couple of sites, the Domaine name, Le Temps des Cerises is what stayed with me more than its biodynamic properties.

• Rouquette sur Mer 2007 La Clape

  
  Confessions of a Wino — Authority: 414
  Sounding a tad venereal, La Clape came to me via a “South by South West” mixed case from the Wine Society.  Like all retailers who think we are firmly in a W shaped recession (as I do), the Wine Society is looking for wines at the cheaper end of the spectrum on the grounds that people are much more likely to ...

  Minervois, Languedoc, France. Grenache. 14.5%. Cork. Approx $A35. I went wine shopping last week and found this hidden amongst the expensive bottles at the back of the shop. I picked it up on spec, thinking it would be rustic and honest. Its quite delicious. A wine with a pretty nose and suntanned body. Vibrant and ...

  Confessions of a Wino — Authority: 414
  After a Spring 2009 visit to an architectural gem of the highest order, and possibly the most erotique et fantastique et en meme-temps grotesque bâtiment du 20eme siècle, la Basilique du Sacré-Coeur de Montmartre , I dropped down the hill to the arty farty and over-rated Bohemian 18e arondissement. Paris is ...

• Château de Lascaux junior and senior

  
  blind tasting club — Authority: 117
  Admittedly, we are comparing the top wine and the entry level wine of this Languedoc estate which isnt really logical, but it doesn’t matter. Actually it’s not really comparing in a quality sense, but maybe just seeing how far of a way the older one has come. 2000 Château de Lascaux – Cuvée Nobles Pierres (AOC ...
