Vinanmeldelser

En blanding av Grenache og Rolle, denne lettdrikkelige roséen har aromaer av fersken og cantaloupe, enkle smaker av moden jordbær og grapefrukt, og en fruktdrevet avslutning.

Denne cuvéen står i sterk kontrast til vinprodusentens mer feminine Dame de Piegros, og viser den kjøttfulle, ville siden av Syrah, kraftig krydder og bjørnebærfrukt med mengder av vanilje. Slutter m…

Ikke helt på samme kvalitetsnivå som 2004, men dette er fortsatt en autoritativt smakfull provençalsk blanding. Smaker av svart kirsebær og krydder viser noen grepende tanniner på ettersmaken; la den…

En négociant-innfylling fra den allestedsnærværende Yvon Mau, denne vinen skryter stolt av élevé en fûts du chêne på etiketten. Du kan absolutt merke det i de cedertreaktige aromaene og smakene, men…

Blåbærfrukt blander seg med kanelkrydret eiketone på nese og gane i denne utgaven. Det er til og med nok dybde og kompleksitet til å gjøre det til mer enn bare en enkel drikk, verdig å følge til enke…

Mørk jord og tobakk krydrer aromaene til denne grand cru, fulgt av smaker av svarte kirsebær og urter. Cabernet Franc-andelen skinner tydelig gjennom som en distinkt ugressaktig aroma, men balanseres…

Warm, plummy and inviting, with plum and black cherry fruit framed by crisp acidity. The combination makes for a juicy, mouthwatering finish in this fine everyday red.

Generous ripe fruit is found on a wine packed with cherry and raspberry flavors. Hints of banana appear along with the vintage's signature tannic structure. Keep for 6–9 months.

Pear and melon flavors are buttressed by ample acid in this medium-bodied white Châteauneuf-du-Pape. For a 2009, it lacks richness but remains a tasty, easy-drinking wine that finishes with a touch o…

This is a soft, ample wine, with an attractive tang of black cherry and ripe acidity. The wine has just the right juicy fruitiness.

On the dusty, earthy side of the Rhône spectrum, with hints of cordite accenting cherry fruit. It's undeniably fresh and vibrant, just lacks some of the richness characteristic of the 2007 vintage.

There are raspberry flavors, certainly, but raspberry with attitude, as this wine, with its firm tannins and open fruit, attests. The acidity and the dry edge point this wine firmly toward food.

The Frog, it's called, and, no doubt it could be drunk with frogs' legs. But, with its intense crispness and superfresh, almost Sauvignon Blanc, green flavor, it would be much better with seafood.

85-87 Barrel sample. This is light, fresh, on the dilute side, with easy berry fruits and some juicy character. Not much depth here.

Attractively perfumed, this is a fruity, fresh wine that is full of apple and crisp citrus flavors and a soft texture. Its relatively high dosage adds a hint of sweetness.

This is a soft, flavorful wine full of creamy yellow fruit. Hints of wood aging and a delicate mineral texture add depth to the palate, but this wine will age quickly, so drink now–2020.

A lightly sparkling wine, this is refreshing and softly sweet with notes of honey and delicate acidity. Because it is low alcohol, it makes a delicious apéritif or accompaniment to dessert.

From a property that is just below the Montée de Tonnerre Premier Cru vineyard, the 30-year-old vines give a round, easygoing wine. The tight texture is really lost in the fresh pear and apple flavor…

This soft, ripe perfumed wine has a fine, clean texture of apple skins. Orange zest and a citrus acidity come through strongly in this wine that is bright and fresh at the end. Drink now.

Tight, crisp and fruity, this is a refreshing and bright wine. Lively acidity cuts right through the lightly mineral texture. Full of fruit, fresh and lively, this should be drunk now.

Soft, dainty scents of pressed sweet pea, white raspberry and cherry dance in the bouquet, while pithy citrus and cherry-skin flavors unfold on the palate. The midpalate shows a touch of roundness, b…

Ripe and juicy, this wine comes mainly from vines in the Mâcon region. Attractive yellow fruit flavors are filled out with spice and almond, accented by refreshing acidity. Drink now.

Soft and creamy, this wine has a line of acidity that gives it great lift. Lime and ripe apples go with green plums to give both freshness and a tangy character. It's a wine to age a few months; drin…

This light crisp wine with its yeasty citrus aromas is juicy, fruity and with fine acidity. Its citrus fruits and touch of pepper have been filled out with the lees aging. The wine is ripe and ready…
