DRC Richebourg 2017: A fragrance untainted by the world～

The 2017 DRC Richebourg is a perfume explosion—a captivating interplay of woody clove and spice, both flamboyant and impeccably controlled. As we tasted, I asked my friends if they knew of a perfume that echoed this wine's aroma. They replied they had never come across one, but would purchase it without hesitation if they did. To my nose, the closest relative would be L'Artisan Parfumeur’s Dzongkha.

It offers that bracing, airy coolness with smoky, peppery spices, laced with the subtle sweet-herbaceous touch of magnolia and clove—reminiscent of the complex scent that washes over you the moment you push open the massive door of an ancient, solitary temple: the crisp, thin air of the high altitudes meeting the first ethereal wisp of incense smoke. Then unfolds layers of ancient wood, the dust of old books, musk, and earthy vetiver. The overall character is intensely crystalline, spiritual, and weightless—evoking visions of high plateaus and vast wilderness, of isolated lamaseries. Some DRCs also possess a temple-like quality, but theirs is a temple down here among us, bustling with devotees and heavy with the common smoke of popular devotion— a more earthly presence. — 2 months ago

Had the 2022 on 7/22/24. Light medium to light bodied Pinot. More to the earthy than fruity side. Very smooth. Very easy to drink. An absolute steal for $9.99. Wine was still solid on the 2nd evening. — a year ago

Syrahre - Jolly Ferriol - Jean Luc Chossart

Il est rare qu'un Syrah délivre autant de fraîcheur. Il est aussi rare que ce cépage soit aussi léger, tendre et glou-glou. Attention, cette fraîcheur n'est pas ici une faiblesse. Bien au contraire, elle révèle une dimension unique, qu'on ne lui connaît que peu souvent.

Le nez reste sur le fruit mûr, généreux en soleil, dans un registre de fruits noirs.

En bouche, le tout fonctionne à plein et c'est ainsi qu'on découvre l'identité singulière de ce jus, franc et généreux, simple et nature.

Pas de vanille exubérante, pas de tanins excessifs, pas de barrique à gogo, non, tout n'est ici que franchise et honnêteté. Jean Luc Chossart, l'artisan vigneron, souhaite partager le travail de son sol, de la plante, du soleil, du fruit et toute la magie que possède dame nature et qui n'est que poésie à nos yeux.

C'est sans doute cette rareté, qui nous échappe trop souvent et avec laquelle ce Syrahre est réalisée.

Forget what you know about Syrah, here, it is just the opposite: lightness, fruitness and drinkability are what Jean Luc Chossart labors for and it is what you get! Unique and very unusual, you should give this wine a sip!

(2014) Good full flavored, open at least one hour before drinking, has to breathe for a better taste. We had it with home-made whole wheat pizzas with prosciutto and arugula salad. — 9 years ago
