2/3/2024 - Wildgrant Does not like this wine:

We first tried this wine with rouladen a couple of years ago and, while the wine was odd, the pairing worked. This time I think that the wine has moved too far down the "odd" wormhole. Oily, almond paste and something that reminds me of very over-ripe pineapple.I sought out more bottles after we first tried it, I don't think that we should have let them sit so long. One bottle left, I might try it soon with something with sauerkraut in it.

Yet another Terroir Tuesday at Table, Donkey and Stick ft. Clos Rougeard (Chicago, IL) : Yeah, definitely not my cup of tea. "Chunky and alcoholic." Somehow not oily though, just cloyingly sweet (without fruit?!) and incredibly phenolic and high-alcohol.

CHÂTEAU DES TOURS

Une des étoiles de la galaxie rayas et du rhône.

Emmanuel Reynaud a succédé en 1997 à son oncle Jacques disparu subitement à la tête des Châteaux Rayas et des Tours. Les terroirs des deux propriétés sont pourtant très différents. Au Château des Tours, il y élabore sur près de 40 hectares des vins dans les appellations Vacqueyras, Côtes-du-Rhône, Vin de Pays du Vaucluse et même un Vin de Table appelé Parisy. Ce dernier est un rosé qui par sa couleur rappelle les Clairet Bordelais et aux arômes de rose. Les Côtes-du-Rhône rouge et Vin de Pays du Vaucluse sont des vins sanguins qui plaisent aux amateurs de vins solaires. Le Vacqueyras requiert plus de temps pour se faire mais également pour restituer plus de complexité.

Wines of the Week: Les Tours & Flowers

Les Tours 2016 Grenache Blanc Vaucluse                    94

Careful: this bottling from Emmanuel Raynaud, the owner of world-famous Château Rayas in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, can go by one of two names: depending on the vintage it’s either ‘Château des Tours Côtes du Rhône Blanc’ or ‘Rayas Les Tours Grenache Blanc IGP Vaucluse’, though on my bottle of the 2016 there was no “Rayas” in sight anywhere on the label. Then again, the three block letters ‘IGP’ were nowhere to be seen either, so you wonder what it is some people writing on wine websites are drinking and smoking first thing in the morning and maybe all day long. For sure, the label of this wine, name of wine excluded, looks the same as that of the outstanding Château des Tours bottlings of Vacqueyras and Côtes du Rhône that Reynaud also produces. In fact, this wine was previously labelled as Côtes-du-Rhône, but in 2015, the AOC Côtes du Rhône re-established its wine production borders; unfortunately (and to be clear, unfortunately not just for Raynaud but for Côtes-du-Rhône too), the Grenache Blanc parcel with which this magnificent wine is made no longer fell within the Appellation’s new boundaries. And so it is that today the wine is a Vaucluse and not a Côtes-du-Rhône Blanc (and no, there is still no ‘IGP’ in bold block letters on the label).

Château des Tours is situated in Vacqueyras and has been owned by the Raynaud family since 1935. It is the family, home, estate of Emmanuel Raynaud, who took over running it from his father Bernard in 1989 (he took on managing Château Rayas, later when his uncle Jacques suddenly passed away in 1997). Organically farmed and horse-plowed, the forty or so hectares of Château des Tours produce majestic, really sumptuous wines that cost a fraction of the price of the Château Rayas red and white wines and deliver amazing bang for your buck. About the only problem you’ll ever have with them is their limited production and how hard it is to find them. The Vacqueyras (80% Grencahe and 20% Syrah), the Côtes du Rhône Red (65% Grenache, 20% Syrah and 15% Cinsault) and the Côtes du Rhône Blanc (100% Grenache Blanc) are essentially benchmarks, or very close to that, of each of the three wine categories just mentioned. In the best wine versions, Grenache Blanc delivers unctuous, rich, mouthcoating white wines and you get all that with the Les Tours 2016 Grenache Blanc Vaucluse .

Bright, intensely golden yellow colour. Aromas and flavours of ripe pear, crab apple, honey, beeswax, aromatic herbs, cumin, tarragon, all complicated by yellow flowers and earth tones. It’s long, delicately aromatic herb-accented bittersweet and earthy finish will make pairings with root vegetables a dream, but classics like thick-flesh fish (cod, salmon, tuna), poultry in mushroom sauces and aged cheeses will also fare marvellously well. The vines were planted in 1978-1980 on very nutrient-poor, sandy soil. Barrel-fermented with indigenous yeasts, the wine matures for nine months before being bottled. Drinking window: 2024-2028.

Flowers 2021 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast California     92

Over 25 years ago, Joan and Walt Flowers wished to make great wines that could speak of the rugged beauty of the Sonoma Coast. Over the years they have achieved that goal and then some, with hand-harvested grapes, use of indigenous yeasts, and intervening as little as possible during the various winemaking phases. Flowers is located in the Fort Ross-Seaview American Viticulture Area (AVA), located on the far western edge of the Sonoma Coast Appellation. It was established in 2012, and is marked, as are its wines, by elevation and the nearby Pacific Ocean (about four kilometers away), overlooked by estate vineyards Camp Meeting Ridge and Sea View Ridge. The Flowers 2021 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast California is a beauty and a very good example of just how richly satisfying, juicy and fruity, lifted, true-to-type Pinot Noir wines can be made in this specific area of cooler California (and not at all in the mould of far too many “California-styled” jammy behemoths that have given the variety and the wines a very bad name).

Bright dark ruby-purple. Perfumed aromas of violet, blackberry, strawberry, anise and forest floor, with a complicating dusting of sweet spices and minerals. Generous and ample, but with harmonious acidity that nicely frames the juicy black and red fruit and woodsy-spicy flavours. The long luscious finish is broad and light on its feet. Approachable and easy to like, but with very good concentration and complexity, there’s a lot of wine for the money here. Just one taste of this juicy, fruity, floral, will have this Pinot Noir winning over fans everywhere. Drinking window: 2024-2026.

The former book won the Louis Roederer International Wine Awards Book of the Year in 2015 and was ranked as the top wine books of the year for the Los Angeles Times, the Financial Times and the New York Times, while the latter was named among the best wine books of the year by Food & Wine Magazine and the NY Times.

Les Tours Grenache blanc レ・トゥール グルナッシュ・ブラン

使い方・機能紹介を見る

グラン・メゾン、カンテサンスへKatsuyuki Tanaka大先生、白猫ホッサー様とご一緒させて頂きました。 次のブランもボトル・ブラインドで、ドメーヌ・レ・トゥール・グルナッシュ・ブラン2015を頂きました。 アンバー系のゴールデン・イエロー色。 フラワリーでドライ・フルーツ・ティにハニーやストーン・フルーツ、ビーズ・ワックスにアジアン・スパイスなどのとても複雑で個性的なアロマ。 ミディアム・ボディでクリーン、ドライでラウンドなテクスチャーな果実味から、程よいスパイシーな酸味と甘く強いミネラリーな余韻。 複雑な要素がとても品よくストレートに構築され、時間とともに果実のコクが上がり、素晴らしくピュアで個性的な南ローヌのブランでした。

3本目は色合いの濃い白ワイン。 ミネラリーでドライ。煮詰めた果実の甘さは後から出て来ます。とても複雑な味わいですが、味わいが済んでいます。 ローヌか？ロワール？か？ 正解はラヤス！ こちらも素晴らしいワインでした。

散歩中に寄り道して角打ちに。 ヨーグルトの香り。 若い時の溌剌さは和らいでいて、酸味と僅かな苦味が心地よく、美味しく頂きました (o^^o)

2003 シャトー・デ・トゥール　グルナッシュ・ブラン　レ・トゥール　IGPヴォークリューズ　コート・デュ・ローヌ/フランス 7/27ジャン・ルイ・シャーヴ試飲セミナー・その7 水曜日のワイン。 これはセミナーのオプションのワイン。その場でシャーヴのワインを購入した人へのおまけです。 グルナッシュ・ブラン100%で外観は、濃い濃い黄金色。 色味から連想する麦わらや黄桃、熟したメロンのような香りがします。 インポーターさんは、最近開けたものが逝っちゃっていたとのことで、ピークアウトを心配されていましたが、とても良い状態で熟成感ムンムンでした(笑) 酸が低めで、とても重たい質感は、今年の4月に飲んだクレレット・ブランシュ100%のドメーヌ・デ・トゥール　VDP ヴォークリューズ ・ブラン2016と共通ですね。 美味しいけど、「飲み疲れする」感じがアラ還の身にはツラいかな…。 含み香にスイカ？みたいなニュアンスがあるのが面白いです。 おかわりなし。

ロンドン市内の僕のお気に入りのビストロで友達とディナーでした。久しぶりのワイン ワインリストがかなり良い感じだし料理もシンプル。 そんな中、格安で見つけたコレ。めちゃくちゃテンション上がったが味わいやアロマはクレレットの方が断然合っているのかも。流石に美味しいし少し熟成のニュアンスもあってホッとするワインではあったがもう少し果実の広がりや苦味にまとまりがあった方がいいとは思う。場所は南ローヌだが北ローヌの白のような味わいで少し肩肘張っているよう アルコール強く足取りが重い印象。重心がとことん低くスピード感はあまり無し

開けるタイミングが悪かったか、 瓶内個体差か。 3日待っても完全ハズレ ブショネでなく。残念。
