I had a debate regarding some innovation young hip producers from the Languedoc yesterday with a Sommelier from Copenhagen.
At the end we talked about Malaperé & Carbades - neither of us could name one young trendy innovating producer from the two regions.

Do you know any?

The rest of the Languedoc & Rousillion is packed with small artisan producers, a melting pot for VIn Nature / Bio / Organic viticultre.

Thanks from Denmark]]>

This is one reason why one should want to be loaded.....to be able to drink stuff like this once every so often......but I had it on the goodness of a friend who was pouring this. Amazing nose, so dense, so full and yet not a clumsy wine. There is a lot of lift. Hugh dollups of olives, pounds of bacon, earth, berries, black berries, fully ripe blackberries oozing in sweetness, and yet herb, spicy, mineralily, Layers of flaovr coming at you all night and a persistence that is stupid long. Moving to a bit of tea afterwards but an intense experience. just lovely.]]>

We drank it over two nights; first with BBQ spare ribs, and tonight with pasta in fresh tomato sauce, and Italian sausages.; and it matched very well with both. Yum!]]>

This wine was shut down from the get go. The nose was very muted, slightly herb, floral, on the palate, it was like sipping tannic blood, blood from a fresh slaughter but so tough that it reviewed exactly nothing. Shut down hard. Of course in my cellars since day one so this one is progressing slowly.

After dinner, after about 6 hours, the little that was left over in the bottle finally opened up a little to show what this could be. This could be a great bottle! Super fresh still, great texture but no need to touch for another 5 years.....]]>

This will last forever! Same nose of herbs, forest that I recall in other editions, red fruit, red berries, lush!, leather, earthly, peppery and did I say lush! Despite that, it was all in the texture which was insanely smooth. Excellent! Worth the price of admission even these days!]]>

This was was given a whole night to slowly open up which was nice. Initially tight still and not showing much, touch of brett, mostly leathery, and meaty at the beginning, it loosened up to show the characteristic herbs and red berries, leather, an minerality. And as the wine relaxed, so seemed the texture as well, contrastingly, smooth and lush but structured and just so well balanced. Ethereal and primal at the same time. This wine is a beast. Loved it from beginning to end.]]>

This wine has tremendous focus, like a German Riesling or a very focused cab and the balance helps to pull this wine together. It needed significant time to open but it's worth the effort.

Very good wine indeed!]]>

We matched it with broiled tenderloin steaks in bacon rasher, baked sweet potatoes, and Italian green beans. Yum!]]>

Still, while lacking the density, this wine through a lot of minerals, and complexity at you. Again, I'm not lucky enough to have had a lot of these wines, but I enjoyed it for what it was, probably a great wine from not so great a vintage for these wines.]]>

The basic syrah was in fact one of my favs. A bit candied, berries, simple but very fresh, very light and not very serious about itself. Short termer and meant to be consumed on release. Nice bbq wine.]]>
