I would get the retail version instead.

 

[Brian C]

I can only find them in lower case.

 

[Sharon Bowman]

is that the côtes du rhône cuvée fatboy?

 

[Peter Creasey]

I just grabbed a stash of the Eric Texier Brezeme Cotes Du Rhone 2011.

Hope I did the right thing!

We sell it in our store but I can say with all honesty that Eric's wines are in my own cellar and I consume them with great pleasure.

 

[Ian Fitzsimmons]

The plain CdR is very good; gets better from there. Would like to find some white now.

Anyone had the 2011 St Gervais Les Cardinieres recently? I had a bottle a few weeks back and it was painfully primary with a confected-esque nose that made me think someone had switched bottles on me. (Not the style I remember from previous experiences)

I assume it just needs time, although I mainly stay on the northern side of things.

With just a splash of Verset to round out the midpalate...

This. Very much so.

Beware plastique in the 06?

 

[Peter Creasey]

Is "plastique" a reference to some kind of chemical issue? Otherwise, I'm clueless.

cork.

brezeme is 100% syrah. my guess is that the cotes du rhone not brezeme is a typical cotes du rhone blend--lots of grenache along with the usual suspects.

Rahsaan, the Cadinières vineyard is now a very nice swimming pool build by a rich englishman in 2010...

The predictable future for southern vineyards in France!

Yes, it's most likely the Côtes du Rhône Vaison La Romaine if you purchased at Cave Taureau.

Eric, Really interesting label on your Eric Texier Brezeme Cotes Du Rhone 2011...

Is there a story of how it came to be?

I wish more of your wines would be available here.
