Product Description

Overview

Winery: Segries (Chateau)

The Clos Hermitage Cotes Du Rhone Rouge is made of 1/3 each of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre.
Yield: 40 hl/ha / Age of the vines: 40 years.
This 3.5 hectare vineyard, located in the famous "Quartier de la Chartreuse de Villeneuve-les-Avignon", has been owned by the Formula 1 race car driver Jean Alesi since 1995. It is managed by Chateau de Segries.
Vinification: 21 days skin maceration in temperature controlled concrete vats, 9 months oak aging -5% new French oak from Seguin Moreau cooper and 95% of 1 year old barrels.

 

Slightly more expensive than most of the wines in this report, but worth buying as it is going to be quite long-lived, the 2010 Cotes du Rhone Clos de L-Hermitage comes from a specific parcel of just over 10 acres owned by Formula One race car driver Jean Alesi and made at Chateau de Segries. This wine is an equal-part blend of Syrah, Mourvedre and Grenache aged in oak barrels for nine months prior to bottling. It is never meant to be drunk in its exuberant youth unless the vintage permits it, and this particular wine is from the very muscular, tannic and concentrated 2010 vintage, so it needs a good 3-4 years of cellaring (which is unusual for a Cotes du Rhone). Opaque purple, with loads of black currants, graphite, crushed rock and pepper, the aromatics have to be coaxed from the glass of this masculine, tannic, full-bodied, super-concentrated wine. The tannins dominate at present, so forget it for another several years and drink it over the following 10-15 years.

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.-Robert Parker  Wine Advocate #201 Jun 2012 89+ Points

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)
