Strange name cuvée

I agree, Peter. I checked and it's a very ancient name which was given to the vineyard the grapes they use for this cuvée comes from. It has nothing to do with Russia and its capital city.

A favourite. This wine manages to contain all the lovely attributes of muscadet - mineral, lemon, apple, lactic taste - whilst keeping the pure fruit at the core but having a lovely sea freshness too. — 7 months ago

It’s getting increasingly difficult to find traditional Cotes de Provence AOC reds. Is it that American importers aren’t interested, or are Provençal producers making less and less in favor of cash-flow-friendly rose? I don’t know. But this is a nice one. Near equal parts Grenache, Mourvèdre, and Syrah. Nose is complex, with spicy dark berry ooze, roasted herbs, iodine, crushed rock. Mouthfilling and with some serious weight, it’s a lot like a good Gigondas or Vacqueyras in style. Very savory- leaning flavors. 14.5% alc. Still some significant tannic presence, but it’s not intrusive. This will actually improve, I think, over the next couple of years. — a month ago

@Tom Casagrande, FYI only, but I found your comment interesting about making Roses vs. AOC reds — one of my brothers is a small west coast importer, who does actually import a few French Roses, and he has been been telling me in the past 2-3 years that sales of French Rose have been drying up, such that he’s bringing in 1/3 to 1/2 of his Roses compared to 4-5 years ago. Maybe any of our other ITB contacts can share their own experiences, but my brother has been told that “Roses just don’t sell” like they used to. Just sharing the single data point, and, of course, I may just be wrong.

@Doug Powers Rosé has experienced a bit of contraction here in New York, but it’s more industry wide than categorical. RTD’s, cannabis, health consciousness, and lack of interest from Gen Z are all contributing factors to the current wine environment. Inflation and tariffs haven’t helped in broadening the consumer base.

As far as Provence rouge, it’s a tough category and not one my clientele has inquired about. Côtes du Rhône and CdP are what the consumer is familiar with and asks for by name. It’s up to the salesman to suggest Bandol, Cassis, Minervois, Corbieres, etc. At the moment there is simply too much wine on the market and the average consumer reaches for familiarity. Drink what you know.

Big deep grapey nose. Tons of granite and blackberry but also red berries as well. A very evocative and encompassing nose. Some pepper, spice and herbs as well. Complex and inviting. Palate is soft and structured with an intense pepperiness. Supple and melty with gorgeous red fruits and also blackberry. Very pure and perfectly balanced with really nice tannins. Excellent wine. — a year ago
