Heck, 14.5% is like alcohol-free in CDP these days!

Castel Vieilh la Salle

Red Bordeaux Blend

My husband and I love the old world style of fermentation, creating a barn style of wine...tobacco,cassis and leather...there is an elegance to this style of red blend. I have no idea the actual grape varietal but do think there is some Sangiovese in this bottle of French wine. I wish I had grabbed the one other bottle on the shelf now. Sad. — 6 years ago

Château Poujeaux

La Salle Moulis en Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend

2017 vintage. Dark red with orange rim. Very inviting nose with cherries., blueberries, flowers and nutmeg. Good concentration, impeccable balance, smooth tannins, and a certain complexity and very good length. This is delicious, and ready to drink, and a reminder how underrated this vintage can be. These are wonderful times for Bordeaux lovers, as the second wines have never been better. And it's hard to find a more sexy wine than this very modestly priced Moulis. Terrific value. Highly recommended. Abv. 13,5%. — 3 months ago

Ermes Pavese

Blanc de Morgex et de la Salle Prié Blanc

Revisiting an old friend. From one of Europe’s highest vineyards. Pure, clean citrus fruit hits you right away like a freshly melted alpine stream in spring. As the bottle warms up, unexpected tropical notes emerge - coconut and pineapple (aka nuances of piña colada). — 9 months ago

La Cave du Vin Blanc de Morgex et de La Salle

Blanc de Morgex et de La Salle Prié Blanc

In addition to its unique bottle shape and colorful, eye catching label, the 2023 Blanc de Morgex et de la Salle, is
also known for being produced at Europe’s highest vineyard: the Valle d’Aosta region in the upper northwest of Italy, on the borders of France and Switzerland, just a chip shot from the Summit of world-famous Mont Blanc.

The clear, light straw appearance is followed by persistent lemon/lime/floral aromatics and flavors. It is sourced from pre phylloxera rootstock of the indigenous Prié Blanc grape.

It is well balanced and structured with ample fruit and acidity; Light bodied, but somewhat fleshy, with a lingering touch of skin contact (oak?) at the long mouth coating finish. A most unique wine from a singular site. Worth a try if you can find it.
