2009 Château

Manual harvest.
50% Grenache, 30% Syrah,

Deep blueberry and forest aromas precede the very long flavors
of black cherry, bramble and black pepper. Muscular and
packed, it finishes with drying tannins. A great value.
"Full bodied and heavily
extracted, this is a dark, plummy wine with almost chewy
tannins on the finish. Yet the aromas remain fresh and floral,
nicely accented by coffee and spice. Drink now–2017 - J.C."
- Wine Enthusiast (October
2011), 90 pts
"More serious, structured,
and meaty (than the CDR) is the 2009 Lirac Cuvee Reservee.
Fifty percent Grenache, 30% Syrah and the rest Cinsault,
Mourvedre and Carignan, this has more earthy, foresty notes,
an opaque ruby/purple color, hints of incense, blue and black
fruits, medium body and light to moderate tannin in the
finish. It is just becoming drinkable yet should age
reasonably well for 5-7 years. The new releases from
proprietor Henri de Lanzac are all impressive."

"This ripe red shows a slightly raisined edge to its
linzer torte, plum sauce and crushed cherry fruit. Licorice
and spice notes mark the lightly firm finish. Drink now
through 2012. 3,500 cases made. –JM"

Manual harvest.
50% Grenache, 30% Syrah,

Deep blueberry and forest aromas precede the very long flavors
of black cherry, bramble and black pepper. Muscular and
packed, it finishes with drying tannins. A great value.
"The
quality (and price) rises slightly with the 2008 Lirac Cuvee
Reservee. A blend of 50% Grenache, 30% Cinsault, and the rest
Mourvedre and Carignan, its evolved dark plum/garnet color is
already revealing a slight lightening at the edge. The bouquet
reveals aromas of raspberries, underbrush, tobacco leaf,
lavender, and spice. This medium-bodied 2008 is best drunk
over the next 2-3 years."

2007 Château
de Ségriès,
Lirac Rouge, Cuvée
Réservée
12/750ml
"A
brilliant red wine which requires another 6-12 months of
bottle age. A combination of 50% Grenache, 30% Syrah, and the
rest Cinsault, Mourvèdre, and Carignan, it exhibits a dense
ruby/purple hue as well as a big, bold aromatic display of
fresh mushrooms, tree bark, blueberries and black cherries.
Deep textured, full-bodied, powerful, and muscular with some
tannin to shed, this offering should be forgotten for a year
or so, and consumed over the following decade."

opulence. Loads of licorice, roasted herbs, sweet black
cherries and damp earth intermixed with notions of pepper and
spice are present in this medium-bodied, exuberant, ebullient,
fruit-driven Cotes du Rhone. It should drink nicely for 2-3
years. The new releases from proprietor Henri de Lanzac are

2009
Côtes du Rhône Rouge, Clos de
l'Hermitage
6/750 ml
Yield: 40 hl/ha / Age of the vines: 40 years.
This 3.5 hectare vineyard,
located
in the famous “Quartier de la Chartreuse de
Villeneuve-les-Avignon”, has been owned by the Formula 1
race car driver Jean Alesi since 1995. It is managed by
Château de Ségriès.
The wine is made of 1/3 each of Grenache, Syrah and
Mourvèdre.
Vinification: 21 days skin maceration in
temperature controlled concrete vats, 9 months oak aging -5%
new French oak from Seguin Moreau cooper and 95% of 1 year old
barrels.
"Although expensive, one of the top wines of the Cotes du
Rhone appellation is the 2009 Clos de l’Hermitage. A wine that
consistently over-delivers, this stunningly concentrated wine,
made from equal parts Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre aged nine
months in oak barrels, has a dense ruby/purple color and a
big, sweet kiss of black truffle, blackberry, cassis,
licorice, and subtle barbecue smoke. Even a note of graphite
seems to make an appearance in this wine, which comes close to
being internationally styled but holds back as its Provencal
typicity of spice box, herbs, lavender and kirsch emerges.
This full-bodied beauty is powerful, rich, and capable of
lasting a decade or more. Wines from this well-known estate of
nearly 110 acres continue to go from strength to strength. The
new releases from proprietor Henri de Lanzac are all
impressive"
- Wine Advocate (June 30th
2011), 93 pts
This is very pumped up, with overt mocha and blueberry
aromatics that overwhelm the dark plum and blackberry fruit.
Heavily toasty through the finish. Ambitious and will have
some fans, but a bit overdone in the end. Drink now through
2012. 900 cases made. –JM

"Segries’
luxury cuvee, the 2008 Cotes du Rhone Clos de l’Hermitage,
which they have made for Formula One race car driver Jean
Alesi since 1995, is an equal part blend of Grenache, Syrah,
and Mourvedre aged in a combination of new and old French oak
barrels. Typically a very big wine, the 2008 is less powerful
than the 2007 and 2005, and probably the 2009. Nevertheless,
it is an outstanding effort exhibiting dense blackberry and
raspberry fruit notes intermixed with notions of licorice,
spice box, earth, roasted herbs, and jus de viande.
It
should drink nicely for 5-7 years."

Côtes du Rhône Rouge, Clos
de l'Hermitage
6/750 ml
"A
remarkable wine, and even at $30 a bottle, it represents a
fabulous bargain. Made from 40-year-old vines, it is an equal
part blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre. Its opaque
purple color is followed by a bouquet that smells more like a
Côte Rôtie than a Côtes du Rhône. Flowery notes intermixed
with tapenade, group pepper, roasted meats, and a copious
black cherry and blackberry fruit soar from the glass. The
wine possesses fabulous density, a rich, full-bodied style,
and present but sweet tannin. It should drink gorgeously for
10-12 years, perhaps longer.
