Le Grand Contrôle - Ducasse Year 2018 — 5 years ago
Bought this as a birthday wine and paired it with some Chinese food lamb and eggplant. It’s impressive how much energy and life is still in this, with the color still a clear deep rose, with the bricking amber colors only showing under sharp lighting on the medium body. The nose is like meaty blueberries and mashed strawberries, maybe even a little plum, with musty bookcase and black olive notes with maybe a hint of blood orange as well. It blends perfectly with food, with deep ripe jammy blueberries and black berries, more black olives, a hint of tar, driftwood, barbecue burnt ends and tannin that’s still very much gripping at the end of the palate. The flavor lingers for a looong time, with hints of celery salt and a kind of inky black saucy flavor, like a dark soy sauce but more vinegary towards the end. Damn fine wine. — a month ago
Love this wine. Hits all the marks for me- great with food or on its own- balanced and enough complexity to make me keep coming back for more. Excellent! — 9 months ago
Green apple and lemon aromas. Medium body with good balance. Solid value from Rosenthal. — a year ago
This wine has almost no coloring. Its nose is more herb-driven than mineral-driven, but there is a touch of wet sidewalk in the aromas. The palate is dry and rather flat, with only a hint of acidity. As with the smells, the flavors lean into the herbal side of the spectrum with enough minerals to make it a decent pair with shellfish. It is a pleasant enough wine, and for $7 I will not complain beyond this paragraph. I will, however, keep it in mind for when I need a dry white wine for cooking. — 2 years ago
Pairs nice with apps and a fly swatter. Went down quick at the right temp — 4 years ago
Interesting blend with sweetness from the Roussane and heaviness from the viognier balanced with the minerals of grenache blanc. — 6 years ago
A lot going on the nose. Red fruit, black fruit, meat, leather. Would be a good wintertime wine. Too bad they’re sold out at Kermit Lynch. Devin gave it 💯 — 6 years ago

Another delicious rendition of the “Chateau Lagrange Blanc.” Beautiful fragrance seemingly melds a little herbal, gooseberryish SB with characteristic lanolin and orchard fruit Semillon notes (I have no idea what the blend is here.) Deep, lovely, soft minerality too. Impeccable balance in the mouth. Nice but gentle acids keep the deep, long, dry palate fresh. Such a great value too. — a year ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The 2023 pours a straw color with medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of yellow apple, pineapple, white flowers, and a touch of lemon cream. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium. Pretty delicious stuff considering the humble price. Drink now. — 3 days ago
