For yet another taste of regional Languedoc-Roussillon here’s yet another excellent example from Jeff Carrel and his wonderfully-named mates Pompilia and Michel Guiraud. Called “Comme a Cayenne” because the ground-breaking they has to do to clear the land for planting the vineyard was likened to what prisoners at the French penal colony had to do for hard labour!
Super rich and spicey, classic “my taste”, classic Jeff.

Dry and fruity. RECOMMENDED IN THE DAILY TELEGRAPH; “This delight should be on everyone’s table.”
The Prosecco Frizzante from Paolo Sacchetto has been a consistent star performer, so he was persuaded to come up with this pink beauty. Light, fruity and thirst-quenchingly perfect as an aperitif all year round. Semi-sparkling.
Super to drink all year round.

Beat Krug in Blind tasting!
Blend : 50% Chardonnay and 50% Pinot Noir from the terroir of Rilly la Montagne, 1er cru.
The year : 80% of the SELECTION comes from the 2007 harvest with 20% reserve wine from 2006. 5 years bottle ageing on lees.
Recommended by Jancis Robinson in The Financial Times November 2010: “A substantial wine…very direct, quite complex, confident attack. Tight bead. Zesty and very fresh.”
Recommended in Oz Clarke’s 2010 250 Best Wines; “This has a full, rollicking, jolly quality to it, hedonism to the fore, a big smile on your face, optimism in your eyes, and all the typical champagne flavours a bit exaggerated…..”
Yet another recommendation, this time Bob Tyrer in the Sunday Times December 2010: “excellent value, fully matured in bottle.”
Also recommended in The Times 14th March 2009.

Selected from the best parts of the vineyard, this is a blend of Syrah, Carignan and Mourverdre. Each varietal is kept apart and aged in 500 litre oak barrels for 12 months. Only then do they decide upon the final blend. Once made, the finished wine is aged for yet another 12 months in those same barrels before bottling. Only 10% of the barrels are new wood, so there’s no “in your face ” oakiness here!
Diane only releases this wine if she feels it is up to her highest standards of quality. So, no 2002 vintage ‘ it was all sold off in bulk to the ‘négociants’. The 2003 vintage was a cracker. No 2004 vintage either; that, too, was not good enough, the 2005, 2007 and 2009s brilliant…as was the 2011.
And then along came the equally scrumptious 2103, and the super 2015 and the fab 2017, and now the 2020. What more can I say? Drink now to 2029 (really!)
