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. — 2 months ago

Here’s another smoking good southern french white. Very interesting blend and the first time I can remember seeing Carignan Blanc. Also Roussanne Grenache Blanc and Vermentino. Sulfur needs to blow off. So beautifully textured and detailed. Glides across the palate. Green apple, citrus, almond, custard/fondant/banana on the palate and a floral, carnation (?) finish. Seductive. This would be so fun to throw into a blind tasting. Love. — 6 years ago

2020 vintage. Beaujolais " La Mère" from La Famille K. A delicious Gamay from 90 years old vines in the Pierres Dorées sector. Raspberries, cherries and some floral tones. Juicy red fruit with a good structure. Drinking well, but I believe this can still age. Very good value. Abv. 13%. — 6 months ago

Recently rebranded as La Roche Mère this is the most prestigious of the three wines from this property

Earthy violet, hints of chocolate and cedar. Great length and balance - this has a refinement you don't find in Argentine malbec
Exceptionally smooth tannins with enough acidity to compliment most dishes on the table. There is oak on the nose and palate but it is held in check, adding to the wine's complexity — 8 years ago

So complex. Nose is very floral like walking in an alpine field and then there’s a light strawberry. Palate has excellent acidity with strawberries, hint of creaminess, more floral notes, tropical fruit, a bit of vegetable underlying it all. Can’t really put my finger on it. Needed some air and to be closer to room temp to open up. — 4 years ago

Fermented in stainless steel then 24 months in New French oak 225 liter barrels. Deep ruby with purple highlights. Pronounced aromas of stone, herbs (lavender), meat, violet, and iron, plush tannins, but very ripe and round. Meat, plum, Great elegance and length. Really terrific wine and good flexibility with food pairing — 8 years ago
