Jean-Francois Meynard naturally farms 15 hectares of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec vines on the classic argilo-calcaire soil of the Cotes de Castillon. The minerality in the soil perfectly balances the incredible concentration of fruit Meynard coaxes from his vines.
He’s been flying under the radar in the read hot Côtes-de-Bordeaux region for far too long, making exceptional blends with purity, grace and agebillity. Wine Enthusiast just last week called the wines, “some of the region’s most exciting and accessible wines”. At today’s price, that is surely the case.
The new 2019 Roque le Mayne Côtes-de-Bordeaux is a rich and elegant Right Bank expression. Vibrant and youthful, it displays fresh notes of red and blueberries, with a refreshing minerality and a touch of earth. It’s a classic Right-Bank Merlot dominant blend that can be enjoyed with pretty much anything on a table and has enough depth and body to be sipped on slowly in a big old Bordeaux glass by itself.

Marie Jacqueson’s best red is a 1er cru from the vineyard Préaux. The vines are old here, averaging almost 50 years in age. The soil is a classic mix of clay and limestone providing for soaring aromatics of strawberry, black cherry, cinnamon and roses. The fruit is almost crunchy; incredibly fresh, juicy, really flat-out delicious. Those limestone soils gives the wine great length, with a mineral finish that goes a mile. Great now, great in 10 years, and qualitatively worth double the price. There are only 78 bottles available this year. Then we wait again!
This is what happens when you combine the Caymus Family’s unparalleled winemaking prowess with one of the greatest Oregon vintages in its wine history. The 2019 Elouan Oregon Pinot Noir is juiced up with vibrant flavors of raspberry, cranberries, baked cherry pie and a hint of earth. It’s packed with crushed red fruits and finishes with soft, refined tannins that leave a great aftertaste. It’s a great choice any time of the year– delicious by itself or paired with just about anything.
92 Points, Jeb Dunnuck – 91 Points (Smart Buy), Wine Spectator
This is a unique expression of Syrah and Grenache. It’s absolutely delicious and it’s balanced to perfection– a Perrin Family calling card. Both critics who reviewed were delighted by the wine. Jeb Dunnuck who came in at 92 points called it, “a terrific wine that’s going to keep for 7-8 years or more.” Wine Spectator included it in their ‘Spectator Selections’ giving the wine a 91-point score and ‘Best Buy’ designate and calling it, “Ripe and expressive with a lovely beam of plum puree and violet racing through.” All this for an impeccably balanced Rhone blend that at under $20 easily outclasses many Gigondas and Vacqueyras at a village price.
Jenny Wagner, the youngest daughter of Chuck Wagner (Caymus) took over the reins in 2011 and absolutely ran with it, making Emmolo a name of its own. In the enormous and beloved 2018 vintage in Napa Jenny was able to deliver a stunning ode to the Right Bank with a super powerful, dark-fruited Merlot. But even though it’s early for this new release, I’m thinking she might’ve outdone herself with the 2019. It’s just so smooth and well-balanced with intricate flavors of black cherries, blueberries, mocha and and violet. It’s still early, I think I’d wait a year or two, but it’s hard to resist this wine now as it’s so youthful and energetic.
