(4/2015) "Checking in as 100% Grenache, the downright sexy 2013 Côtes Catalanes l'Esprit du Temps has full-bodied richness and depth to go with rock-star notes of black raspberry, crushed violets and hints of pepper. It has a serious amount of texture, yet stays light, elegant and pure. It too will have a decade or more of longevity."

(4/2015) "The 2013 Cotes Catalans De-La and this blend of 100% Syrah comes all from the granite soils around the towns of Lesquerde and Tevillach. Vinified in concrete tank and aged in a combination of tank and demi-muid (20% new), it has a terrific bouquet of black raspberry, garrigue, toasted spice and crushed rock to go with a medium-bodied, supple, elegant and beautifully pure style on the palate. Give it another year or two and drink bottles through 2023."

Mas Mudigliza "Cauda Louis" Cotes Catalenes Blanc 2016

Our Score
(3/2019) Vigneron Dimitri Glipa grows grapes at his Mas Mudigliza estate in the high elevation foothills of the Pyrenees. One of our favorite brokers, Thomas Calder, discovered this very special property and began exporting to smart buyers in the US not that long ago. Mas Mudigliza has gained quite a reputation amongst super wine geeks, a group we proudly associate ourselves with. This wine blends 70% Grenache Gris (not blanc or noir, but the pink-ish hued "Gris"), with 30% Macabeo (aka Viura in Spain's Rioja) to produce a completely viscous and densely concentrated white wine that is plump, but with searing minerality. With just a hint of new oak flavor, complex notes of anise, pine, lime, pear, nectarine, cherry and salty, jagged silver rocks combine to produce a totally singular white wine experience. Drinkable now and over the next 10 years, this wine is magical, reminding us of Chateauneuf-du-Pape Blanc crossed with a great White Bordeaux, for a fantastically low price.

Domaine Lafage "Novellum" Chardonnay 2017

(11/1/2018) "Coming from 100% Chardonnay that was aged on Viognier lees, the 2017 Vin de France Novellum boasts sensational notes of ripe citrus, white flowers, and spice, with loads of classic Catalanes salinity and obvious minerality. Aged in 15% new barrels, it's medium-bodied, has remarkable purity, integrated acidity, and is a total steal at the price. Drink it over the coming 2-4 years."
