Cave Des Vins De Bourgueil

Domaine des Schistes

Essencial Côtes du Roussillon Vermentino Blend 2023

Domaine des schistes, essencial blanc, côtes du roussillon 2023.
Superb wine sold to us in a local wineshop in downtown Canet en Roussillon (cave Gustumo, if you happen to be around). They have mostly a local selection and the owner is passionate about local wines and especially offers a great range of local vins doux naturels (maury, Muscat de rivesaltes, banyuls...).
This one was open and the owner had us taste it along with a few other wines, including a few Muscat examples. It was a great stop in a great shop.
The nose is made of citrusy touches, cantaloupe, white peach, as well as some minerally touches like chalk and a tiny flinty thing. The palate is super well balanced, there is that tang, that citrusy thing, these fresh white peach touches, a good width and that tiny chalk touch, some nice grip and a super lovely, yet lively finish that goes on for a while. Give me that white wine over a lot of the more expensive stuff coming from many other more reputable regions.

Arcane XIX Le Soleil Grenache Blend 2015

Second tasting and still as much pleasure. Deep ruby color, with a beautiful shine. The nose is greedy, on the fruits, between juice and jam, black cherry, plum, blackberries, strawberry. Spicy and roasted notes typical of southern wines, chocolate, pepper, thyme and aromates, smoky touch. The mouth is soft, beautiful texture. Greedy and balanced with volume and flexibility. The 15 degrees are absolutely not felt. Nice finish on black fruits and licorice. To have in his cellar absolutely.

Deuxième dégustation et toujours autant de plaisir. Robe rubis profonde, au bel éclat. Le nez est gourmand, sur les fruits, entre jus et confiture, cerise noire, prune, mûres, fraise. Notes épicées et torréfiées typique des vins du sud, chocolat, poivre, thym et aromates, touche fumé. La bouche est moelleuse, belle texture. Très gourmand et équilibré avec du volume et de la souplesse. Les 15 degrés ne se font absolument pas sentir. Très belle finale sur les fruits noirs et réglisse. A avoir dans sa cave absolument.

First bottle I bought (at Tannin) after reading Wine Simple. Started mineraly and aromatic but not overly fruity. Pear notes after several days. — a year ago
