Château de Lascaux Coteaux du Languedoc Blanc 2008

Post by Low-N-Slow »

I went looking for some more of that Saint Martin de la Garrigue Coteaux du Languedoc Blanc I reported on back in March at Martin, only to find they were out and "didn't bring any in this vintage". I was offered this as a suitable alternative, and, even if it's not quite what I remember about the previous Languedoc white, it's still worth trying. A blend of Viognier, Marsanne, and Vermentino, it brings the expected peachy stone fruit, with medium body for a white, and undertones of clover honey. Although the body and fruit suggest a sweetness, the wine is actually quite dry at 14% ABV. And, while not exactly the steal that the Saint Martin de la Garrigue was at $11, still a value at $15.

On the same visit, I purchased 5 other bottles, all red-- 4 of which I have already tasted-- that I will report on shortly.

I really appreciate your wine suggestions.
A month or so ago you posted about a red wine from California that you found in Dorignacs for under $10. Could you please tell me what that was?

I had purchased it at the time and really liked it, but I forgot to right the name down.

:confused: Most of what I've been trying lately have been non-domestics. IIRC, the last red I talked about, under $10, that I really liked was that CyT Palo Alto "Reserve" Cabernet/Carmenere/Syrah blend from Chile.

That was it. Thanks.
