zoramargolis Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Not sure if this is exactly what you are asking about, but from among the "Cotes du Rhones", I've had some delicious wine from Rasteau--I'm thinking specifically of the 2001 La Soumade Cuvee Confiance. Someday, I'd like to try the Fleur de Confiance... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjsadler Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Had a really nice Cotes du Rhone Villages from Vinsobres (2003 Perrin Vinsobres Les Cornuds), a subregion I've never heard of before. Best $10 red I've had in quite some time. Apparently Vinsobres will now have its own AOC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sthitch Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 I am a big fan of the wines of Pignan, within the Chateauneuf-du-Pape AOC.I recently had a 1990 Rayas that was fantastic.I Cote Rotie I love Cote Blonde (Cote Brune is not half bad either ). The easiest place I can think of to find subregions is in Burgundy, I believe that Chablis alone has 29 different subregions (from Beauroy to Vosgros).

alan7147 Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 and when i think of it, are you speaking of La Bastide St. Dominiques. Secrets de Pignan, or other.. bc i love what they do,, the white is smokin. I recently had the 00 and 01 vintages of this wine. While the 2000 was more approachable they were both ridiciously good.

cjsadler Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 Had a good wine last night: Pierre Laplace 2001 from the Madiran A.O.C.. Never heard of this region before... It was provided by an importer for a dinner, so I'm not sure of the availability or price, but if it's this cheap, it's a steal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chateau Montus is the benchmark Madiran. The wines are made from Tannat and "softened up" with Cabernet Sauvignon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jparrott Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 I love Madiran. And as the world's viticultural regions slowly get warmer, I think a lot of enterprising vigneron further north will be wishing they planted tannat, fer servadou, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
