The Lancyre team have come up with a 2006 Coteaux du Languedoc Rose that is simply one of the finest pinks on the planet, and a wonderful value. Don’t dis’ rose around this wine because it has enough grip to reach out of the glass and throttle you! Smoky, resinous, pungently herbal garrigues, raspberry and peach fruit, and Syrah-borne roasted meat aromas pour from the glass. (For the record, the balance is Grenache with a bit of Cinsault.) Cut, clarity, genuinely complex interplay of herbal, carnal, mineral and fruit flavors ... yes, all that’s happening on the palate, and the finish, as already mentioned, really grips. This is for thinking as well as reflexively drinking ... and not just in summer. The team of Bernard Durand and Regis Valentin is talented with more than just the classic red blends of Pic Saint-Loup. This year, they began labeling their white to call attention to its distinctiveness and perhaps make it seem more familiar to Americans.Imported by Handpicked Selections, Warrenton, VA; tel.
