M.CHAPOUTIER

Quoted value

Robert Parker 92-94

These Chapoutier wines are sometimes reviewed by my colleagues David Schildknect in his Languedoc-Roussillon report and Lisa Perrotti-Brown in her reviews of Australian wines, so I will just list the wines, my score, and the region from which they emerge. They are of very high quality and deserve readers’ attention. Hopefully my prose has convinced more than a handful of readers to try these remarkable wines from one of the most fascinating and compelling personalities in the entire wine world, and one dedicated to the highest quality.

89. Michel Chapoutier?s outpost in the Roussillon is worthy of a detour. The 2005 Vignes de Bila Haut seems dominated by Grenache with plenty of kirsch liqueur, spice box, and resiny pine forest notes. It is a medium-bodied, elegant, fresh wine to drink over the next 5-6 years.

Guide Bettane et Desseauve 2005

8/10

Tasting

Colour : deep garnet red.
Nose : aromas of black cherry.
Mouth : this wine is fleshy, well-structured with the warm and savage of soils of the Roussillon area.
To drink within 2 years.

Sommelier tips

A nice piece of Beef. Mediterranean food.
