Clos Barrot’ Bourgueil Rouge
The textures, in the youth of these wines, are tasty and fresh but always halved. With age, the frame is loosened even more to let out notes of leather, nothing animal and always blackcurrant and cherry.

Clos Des Papes Le Petit Vin d’Avril Rouge
The Le Petit Vin d’Avril (two-thirds from the 2005 vintage and one-third from 2004) is juicy, with loads of crunchy cherries and new saddle leather notes with some pepper, flowers, and spice. It’s a vin gourmande, as the French would say, and best drunk in its first several years of life.
This exquisitely run estate continues to turn out wines of great fragrance, richness as well as flavor authority and integrity. The yields are always among the lowest in the appellation. While they have 87 acres and can produce as much as 8,000 cases of Chateauneuf du Pape, the yields in 2003 were 23 hectoliters per hectare, in 2004, 22 hectoliters per hectare, and in 2005, 21 hectoliters per hectare. Their best value, and it’s one heck of a bistro wine, is the non-vintage concoction of Grenache, Syrah, Merlot, and Carignan actually cropped at an amazingly low 32 hectoliters per hectare.

Domaine Bertand Stehelin Gigondas Rouge
Opaque ruby. Complex aromas of spicy red and dark berries, smoked meat and minerals, with a subtle floral note in the background. In a densely packed, powerful style, offering ripe black raspberry and bitter cherry flavors and a floral pastille quality that builds with air. Finishes fresh, focused and spicy, with silky tannins adding grip.

Typical Rhône valley wine with a beautiful garnet color with red highlights. The nose evokes intense red fruits and spices. The palate is full-bodied, with lots of volume, the tannins are round and smooth. We found in the mouth the red fruit aromas with a spicy finish.

Saint Félix Corbières Rouge
Vibrant red fruit with lots of Grenache and Syrah notes. This wine really speaks of the region, with plum and damson fruit and a warm palate with juicy acidity with peppery notes, balancing freshness and impressive length. Would be delicious with anything rustic and French!
