Product Description

Overview

Winery: Segries (Chateau)

Winter Sale Item

 

Yield:  46 hl/ha
The wine is made from 50% Grenache, 30% Cinsault, 15% Clairette, 5% Syrah. The age of the vines is 30 years. Traditional vinification at low temperature, "vin de saignée" with a maceration during one night in cement vat. 

"Dark ruby rose. A benchmark Tavel with pure ripe cherry and strawberry fruit aromas and flavors. Rich and fruit forward and full on the palate with good density of ripe cherry, excellent acidity, and a long crisp finish. It’s a blend of Grenache, Cinsault, Clairette, and Syrah."
- I-WineReview (April 2012), 90 pts

"The 2011 Tavel Rose is a blend of 50% Grenache, 30% Cinsault, 15% Clairette (the white grape) and the rest Syrah. Deep ruby, with elegant strawberry and kirsch notes, the wine has excellent texture, medium body, and plenty of freshness and personality. Tavel Roses tend to be bigger styled wines than the average Cotes du Rhone rose, and that is certainly true of the 2011. Drink it over the next several years."

The Chateau de Segries Estate

In 1994, Henri de Lanzac, cousin of Christophe Delorme from Domaine de la Mordoree, purchased the Domaine and began to improve the quality of the wine. "Segries" in provencal means "water spring". This family owned and operated winery is located in Lirac and produces some of the best values in my portfolio. They produce the following A.O.C. wines:

* Tavel Rose

* Cotes du Rhone Rouge

* Lirac Rouge

* Lirac Blanc

"An old Lirac estate with recent signs of revival under the new owners; the reds are medium weight, good to drink inside six years; charming Tavel." - Anthony Dias Blue's pocket guide to wine 2006

"A super value treasure trove in the southern Rhone, Segries is a large estate of 109 acres brought back to life over the last decade by Henri de Lanzac. The wines continue to go from strength to strength."- Wine Advocate (#178, Aug. 2008)

"Over the last fifteen years, this property has been transformed into one of the better value producers in the Cotes du Rhone. The old, oxidized, vegetal offerings have been replaced with classic examples of Provencal wines that are fresh and fruity with ripe tannins." - Wine Advocate (#190, Aug. 2010)

"The new releases from proprietor Henri de Lanzac are all impressive." - Wine Advocate (#195, June 2011)

"This has been a reliable producer of terrific values in the Cotes du Rhone (and for their Tavel rose) for a number of years, and they have once again done an admirable job." - Wine Advocate (#201, June 2012)
