It is summer and rose' wine....

SYBEL
Our favourite drink down at the flat in Antibes can also be drunk here in Paris when the sun is shining and the temperatures requires an outdoor lunch in the garden.

Domaine Yves Cuilleron, which has a beautiful selection of Cote Rotie, Saint Jospeh and Condrieu, also produces some more reasonable wines which are sold as "vin de pays". Among them, a Syrah Rose' called Sybel. The name comes from "belle syrah". And its just that;
delicious beautiful pale red colour, fresh red fruits on the nose and a very nice fruity well balanced taste that goes well with salads, fish or just on its own. To be served cold.

Syrah Rose' "Sybel" 2007 from Chavanay by Cuilleron, 5 to 6€ a summerly P++
available at Cave Bourdin, but only around 18000 btls...

Bordeaux- Le prelat du Ch. Pape Clement 2004

This is one of two second wines of the famous and expensive Ch. Pape Clement in Graves. Although young,  2004, this wine drinks really well already if you put it on carafe a couple of hours before consumption. Dark red colour, with a very attractive smell of blueberries and dark berries, its a full bodied wine with firm but nice tannins that goes best with some food. 2004 although not the best of vintages, keep surprising me with good drinkable wines at affordable prices, because from 2005 and onwards there is a big step up in prices.... Grapes; Cabernet Sauvignon 60% and Merlot 40% Price around 20€ P+

Ogier Chateauneuf du Pape 2010

This is a quite reasonable Chateauneuf du Pape (ca 200 NOK or 15€). The colour is medium ruby color which was a bit surprising. Nose of ripe black cherries and liquerice with a medium + body and finish with firm tannins. The wine can be drunk now but has definitely the potential for ageing (5-10 years). Chateauneuf du Pape 2010, Ogier Bring out the steak!
