Below is a little more information about the wine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>2010 Gourt de Mautens, J\u00e9r\u00f4me Bressy, IGP Vaucluse Rouge. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Blend: 70% Grenache Noir and 30% various: Carignan, Mourv\u00e8dre, Syrah, Counoise, Cinsault, Vaccar\u00e8se and Terret Noir.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Vinification: after the harvest, the grapes are carried in 20 kg cases; selection of every single cluster using a sorting table; Destemming.; Slow extraction in a 10-20 day maceration; All the grapes are blended together to produce a single wine, a single Cuv\u00e9e.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Ageing: 12 months in demi-muids (300 liter barrels) and foudre (large barrels); then 18 months in concrete vats. A single bottling, at one time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993300;\">It is loaded with chocolate, black raspberries, and kirsch, intermixed with dusty, loamy soil notes, pepper, and the telltale chocolate that comes from the old vine Grenache that bakes in the sun in this high elevation appellation. This is a beauty, slightly rustic but enormously endowed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993300;\">&#8220;Inky ruby. Expressive aromas of black raspberry, cassis, potpourri and cracked pepper, with a hint of anise in the background. Intensely flavored, penetrating, precise and quite elegant, showing impressive spicy lift to its dark berry and lavender pastille flavors. Finishes extremely long, with fine-grained tannins, bright mineral cut and lingering spiciness.- JR&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>&#8211; Stephen Tanzer&#8217;s International Wine Cellar (June 2013), 93 pts<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The cult wine from Jerome Bressy is on its way, 2010 Gourt de Mautens, IGP Vaucluse Rouge (formerly a Rasteau AOC wine). 93 pts.
