Bernard Levet

Côte Rôtie Syrah 2021

This is the standard Côte Rôtie from Agnes Levet that’s a blend of different parcels. However, the philosophy and approach remain the same as “La Chavaroche” and “Les Journaries”. In the past, this bottling was known as “Améthyste” and only recently became more widely available in the US. “Widely” is a relative word, lol.

Opened about an hour prior to service. The 2021 pours a deep garnet/purple with a transparent core; medium viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with a gorgeous bouquet all of the different varieties and colors of brambles your heart could possibly desire along with all of the seeds and stems, freshly cracked black pepper, dried herbs, some of the animale, purple flowers some hints of old wood and yes, perhaps a kiss of brettanomyces. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is forever long, drying and loaded with even more black pepper. This is giving me total 2014 vibes and if you liked that vintage in the Northern Rhône (as I did), you’re gonna absolutely love this. Drink now through 2036.

Excellent review. Thanks. I can’t however comprehend the term ”standard” for C-Rs, as the few (roughly a dozen) I’ve tried have been amazing.

@Martin Bergo I would never want to suggest “standard” to mean anything less than special though, merely stating such suggests there is something “non-standard” available, so I do get your point.

Pietrarossa Lambrusco Grasparossa di Castelvetro DOP Amabile

This is what a lambrusco should be for me: juicy, velvety bubbles, a little dryness to keep you coming back for more. Drank before heading out to dinner only slightly chilled for an hour. Will be buying some more of this for my rack. — a year ago

Possessione del Console Bonarda 2018

Colore intenso e lucente porpora vivace. Profumo complesso! Frutta matura, Tamarindo e cola. terra sottobosco. Confetture. TARTUFO. FUNGHI. resine o corteccia leggera.  c’è una nota dolce forse una Spezia tipo cannella. il gusto è pieno di corpo. Tratti che ricordano la Croatina del campo del Monte. un pre finale velocissimo leggermente abboccato e poi amaro subito dopo.  L’alcol veicola profumi sensazioni e corpo. È perfettamente integrato nonostante i 15°. Una bella scorrevolezza. La parte migliore è certamente il bouquet olfattivo.  — 5 years ago

Saint-Véran Chardonnay 2017

Family owned and operated since 1850, passing down expertise from one generation to another. Today run by Marie-Eve Léger, who joined parents Agnes and Bernard in 2009 after completing her degree. 100% Chardonnay, pale lemon with aromas of ripe stone fruits with biscuit notes. Palate shows apple and peach flavors, vivid acidity, well balanced. Medium+ finish ending with yeasty character. Very Nice! — 7 years ago
