Rhône Tastings
My vintage assessments, from 2001 back to the 1980s, and any other Rhône tastings. I deal with the northern and southern parts of the valley separately, and often include one or two wines from the Languedoc in with the latter.
Northern Rhône
- Northern Rhône 2001 (12/3/03) Good but not great.
- Northern Rhône 1996 (19/7/01) A vintage often criticised for its acidity.
- Northern Rhône 1995 (19/3/03) Allemand and Jaboulet, among others.
- Northern Rhône 1994 (12/2/02) Good value and nearing maturity.
- Northern Rhône 1991 (6/11/02) A great vintage in Côte-Rôtie and Cornas.
- Northern Rhône 1990 (9/5/01) Wines both stunning and disappointing.
- Northern Rhône 1988 (31/7/02) Another great vintage in the Rhône.
- Older Northern Rhône: 1980 - 1986 (11/10/01) Chave, Jaboulet and more.
Southern Rhône
- Southern Rhône & Languedoc 2001 (13/3/03) Fabulous vintage.
- Southern Rhône & Languedoc 1998 (19/2/08) Failure or success?
- Southern Rhône & Languedoc 1996 (19/7/01) Some very good wines.
- Southern Rhône 1995 (2/3/04) A lovely vintage for Châteauneuf du Pape.
- Southern Rhône 1994 (12/2/02) More wonderful wines from the top estates.
- Châteauneuf du Pape 1989 (10/700) A great vintage in the Southern Rhône.
Other Rhône Tastings
- New Producers, New Wines (16/1/01) Rhône producers and cuvées new to me.
- Vignobles Brunier Tasting 2007 (7/2/08) Vieux Télégraphe and more.
