The fine Cahors from Château Saint Didier-Parnac is a rich and structured red of real depth; it will age well for another five years plus. New on the list this year are the Gaillac’s of Château Larroze: the white a medal-winning Sauvignon Mauzac blend and the red 2004 received a coveted star in the Guide Hachette 2007 and is a blend of Duras, Cabernet, Braucol, Syrah and Merlot!
BERGERAC The vineyards of the Dordogne can produce some of the most attractive wines in France. Serge Dubard’s Domaine du Gouyat needs little introduction to those of you who are existing customers: the crisp gooseberry flavours of his white puts many a more expensive wine to shame, and the 2004 is tasting delicious at the moment.
The Domaine du Gouyat rouge 2005 has wonderful fruit and is as good value wine as any on the entire list. His benchmark barrique-aged Gouyat has in recent years won a coup de coeur in the Guide Hachette - France’s highest wine accolade. The Pécharment is a brooding monster for laying down and the Château Laulerie Montravel also a big beast from an appellation that only came into being with the 2001 vintage.
Quite, quite
delicious and dangerously addictive, this wine - the
breathtaking
colour of rosy-fingered dawn - is bone-dry and the antithesis of bland
commercial rosés. Possibly the finest all round rosé in the world.
