Saint Chinian Roquebrun, Languedoc

Cave de Roquebrun

Terrasses de Cabrio Saint-Chinian Mourvedre Blend 2012

Very intense flavor. Really great with quail. I highly recommend. Wish I had more! — 5 years ago

Domaine Rimbert

Sur la Plage Colombard

Very slight bouquet. A whisper of lemongrass and acacia palm.

Chill to the max for me. Love the pandan leaf subtle note with an undercurrent of pineapple. The fruit flavors are muted and work with the acidity, highlighting and letting the minerality shine.

Stellar.

Domaine Rimbert

Les Cravers de Marceaux Saint-Chinian Red Blend 2013

Ughhhhh just so much farm and stink in the nose for a delightful payoff. It’s like drinking the fresh outdoors. Light, silky, acidic, fresh and bright berries off the vine while still shrugging its shoulders and saying, “sometimes you have to enjoy the manure too.” I want more. — 6 years ago

Le Vin Maghani Saint-Chinian 2014

Killer. Rich in red and black fruit, in herbs and incense spices, rich in body. Good lift from the acid. I wish I had had the patience to let it breathe for longer but it was heady out of the gate. Paired w Live/Dead. — 7 years ago

Young winemakers making serious noise in the area. I’m following. There’s some funk that blows off quickly and underneath is a chunky, complex and chiseled expression. The terroir really comes through on the edges, slate and mineral. Crushed red fruit and herbs on the mid palate. Could use some time. Very interesting and provocative. Falls somewhere in between old school rusticity and the energy you find in good examples of new school minimalist winemaking. — 6 years ago
