vintage 59 wines with Debra Lewis/Vintegrity

Vintage 59 deals strictly with french wines from all regions

Merlin Cherrier Sancerre 2008 light, all stainless, some minerality but needs more weight...sauvignon blanc without the heavy gooseberry style

Alain Normand La Roche Vineuse, 2008 Macon some ml on the nose, but done sees no oak.. light clean fruit... not a lot of minerality either

Joseph Voillot Bourgogne Rouge Vielle Vigne 2007 sexy nose but very light bodied.. still some nice flavors up front but a pretty quick finish..

Montirius cotes du rhone 2008 barnyard nose, not as juicy as the 07 vintage but a nice wine none the less.

Montirius Les Garriques Vacqueryas 2007 heavenly nose, pepper and bacon fat, ripe rich fruit, great texture..wine of the day by far...

Coupe Roses, Minervois 2007 all tank fermented, starts green but finishes with some nice fruit... quick finish.

San d'Guilheim Cotes du Gascogne colombard and ugni blanc, a real porch pounder, light and crisp... great for summer

Chateau Haut la Pereyre Bordeaux Superior 2006 dark color, really nice texture, soft long finish..

Tour du Moulin, Fronsac 2005... french stink on the nose, beautiful texture, long tasty finish... very nice... shows why 05 was such a good year for that region.
