VARIETAL:

WINEMAKER: Grégory Dala

 

REGION:

Bordeaux, Bordeaux Superieur, France

 

HISTORY:

Château Petit-Freylon is located in the small Aquitaine village of Saint-Genis-du-Bois, a tiny Aquitaine village boasting less than 100 inhabitants. The estate belonged to the Lagrange family for generations until 2011, when it was purchased by La Société PESA. Since that time, the new owners have invested heavily in the château's wine- making facilities and have installed such improvements as new tanks, barrels, and thermovinification systems. This attention to detail has earned the wines several medals at prestigious competitions, such as the Concours Agricole in Paris and the Concours de Bordeaux.

 

TASTING NOTES:

The Cuvée Leah is richly textured and medium-bodied. It shows a delicious abundance of black cherry and black currant notes with a hint of wood on the palate. Its elegant tannins and complexity point towards good short-term cellaring potential. Drink 2019-2030

The vineyard at Château Petit-Freylon covers 30 hectares (75 acres), 20 of which are within the Bordeaux Supérieur appellation. The soils are clay and limestone and the average vine age is 30 years. Grape varieties are 75% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Merlot, with average yields of 50 hectoliters per hectare

On the nose, licorice, jammy dark fruits, plum, chocolate, vanilla. In the mouth, it evolves smoothly and expresses fine-grained tannins on the finish which will soften in the near future."

winemaker's notes:

A great vintage – this wine has a dark, deep color with very vibrant and lively fruit flavors. This vintage of Chateau Petit Freylon "Cuvee Leah" has an amazing elegance, with well-integrated, round, silky tannins and barrel aging that are almost undetectable.

 

$105.00 per 6/750 ml crate / $17.50 per bottle

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

In 1549, "Noble Pierre de Beaucastel" bought "a barn with its land holdings, containing 25 saumées (Ancient French Rhone dialect for 110 litre barrells) at Coudoulet". More than four centuries later, this remarkable domaine, known today as Château de Beaucastel, is producing what most people acknowledge to be the finest wines of Châteauneuf-Du-Pape.

In 1903, a young chemical engineer and mathematics professor named Pierre Perrin, together with his father-in-law, began to restore the domaine following the ravages of phylloxera. His son, Jacques Perrin, took over the domaine in 1953 and introduced many innovations such as improved grape varietals, integrated pest control, and a flash-heat exchanger.

Today, the third and fourth generations of Perrins, François and Jean-Pierre and Jean-Pierre's sons Pierre, Marc and Thomas, continue in the tradition of their father and grandfather. The vineyards of Beaucastel are treated as a garden: no chemical fertilizer, no chemical week killers or sprays are permitted. Organic fertilizer comes from compost and only a minimum of traditional sulphur-copper spray is used in the vineyards.

The vineyards are planted in all the traditional grapes of Châteauneuf-du-Pape: Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah, Cinsault, Vaccarese, Counoise, Terret Noir, Muscardin, Clairette, Picpoul, Picardin, Bourboulenc, Roussanne.

 ...keep in mind this is normally a $95- $100 wine AND IS SOLD OUT EVERY YEAR IN DECEMBER UNTIL THE 2018 which will be RELEASED NEXT FALL/WINTER 2020 ...

Winemaker Notes

A beautiful dark color, the nose shows pretty notes of red fruit, raspberries, wildstrawberries, spices, and garrigue. The palate is powerful, full, with great finesse.The tannins are velvety and the finish has great length.

 

RP 92

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Still not yet bottled for my June visit (it was scheduled to be bottled at the end of the month), the final blend of the 2017 Cotes du Rhone Coudoulet de Beaucastel was showing plenty of garrigue and dried-spice notes layered over cherry fruit. Full-bodied, silky textured and long on the finish, it should drink well for a decade or more.

 

JD 91

Jeb Dunnuck

The 2017 Côtes Du Rhône Coudoulet De Beaucastel is a textbook example of this cuvée, and while it tends to be a relatively expensive Côtes Du Rhône, it merits the price. Complex garrigue, ground pepper, and earthy dark fruits all flow to a medium to full-bodied wine that has a polished, elegant texture as well as the sunny, Provençal style of the vintage. It's capable of lasting for 15 years or more.

 

 

 

Drink 2020-2035

I stole the one and ONLY 6 cases of the FABULOUS MATROT BOURGOGNE BLANC 2015 in halves, $10.95/BTL, 24 half bottles per case (halves are $14.95 normally and full bottles are $23.95)

One case is going home to CASA RESSEL, so 5 cases for SALE, VERY DANGEROUS IN HALVES!

 

MATROT BOURGOGNE BLANC white burgundy "Baby Meursault" EVEN SHOWS THEIR MEURSAULT ADDRESS ON THE CASE

 

a VERY CLASSY WHITE...

 

The "FRENCH CONNECTION" :  A chance to experience a high end white Burgundy  without spending  A LOT OF $:

 

 

Another GORGEOUS high QUALITY white burgundy ( 100% chardonnay ) from the very famous/reputable MATROT "house" in Meursault in the Cotes d' Or (=golden hills)...

 

Basically VIZUALIZE a "DECLASSIFIED MEURSAULT" from the MATROT FAMILY, THE CHAMPIONS OF MEURSAULT!!!

 A true RED WINE DRINKER'S WHITE WINE!!!

 

MATROT:"LA NOBLESSE DU TERROIR"

 

" ...deliciously rich, fresh, lemony, floral, elegant fruit, crisp, fine and lovely white..."

 

Expect a beautiful complex aromatic nose of almond and hazelnuts with a touch of honeysuckle. Medium to full-bodied  with satiny texture, this wine is rich, packed with spiced pears and tangy minerals. Its long, supple finish displays additional layers of sweet ripe apples, butter and a hint of oak. Drink 2019-2028

 

Winemaker Notes

A refined, fruity yet dry, crisp round wine that can be enjoyed as an aperitif or as an accompaniment to charcuterie, chicken and grilled fish. Delicious with creamy cheeses A great wine to enjoy with friends.
