TN: Cote Roannaise

I imagine it is beautiful. But I have never been, and it is so far off the beaten track, I might need a guide. Do you want to go?

Roannaise - Fontenay is serious stuff

I stumbled on to Fontenay in Chicago. Quality drink of gamay.

TN: Cote RoannaiseIs there a better expression of gamay? 2007 Domaine Desmoulins Le carre du Prieur: juicy, gritty and alive. Cote Roannaise is without a doubt my favorite red wine.

Also opened recently was 1994 Chateau Potensac which, while still quite tannic, has become bottle sweet and really delicious because of it. Drank most of this too young. Nice wine. We drank some 1999 Claude Papin Savennieres and it is good, soft Savennieres. A heart on its sleeve type of wine with lots of drama and pleasure.

Best,
Kay

As of a month or six weeks ago, when I drank a 2007 Domaine de Pothiers, I'm right there with you. I went a little nuts over it actually. Fantastic, vivid wine at a very good price. The one I had was 100% Gamay, I believe.

I am still looking for that Desmoulins. In the meantime, the '07 Pothiers gamay is going down pretty easy.
