Maxime Magnon Vallée du Paradis La Démarrante

Wild berries and scorched earth. You could stroll right past this one and take little notice, but if you pay it just a little attention it may just wow you. Oh, and this wine thinks CdP is a yuppie biatch.

Really pretty on the nose with a bright clear palate. Lovely wine.

Herbaceous, wild, and feral. Bramble and fennel. Don't turn your back on this one.

Delicious.

Incredibly pleasing aromas of small mountain raspberries, greenery, and forest mulch. This medium bodied wine has a smooth and velvety texture with the fine tannins just complementing the high acid. The flavors echo the nose and move across the palate in a lighter and more elegant manner than the body would suggest. Acid clearly delineates the flavors and segues into a mineral laden finish reminiscent of a mouthful of river rocks. Excellent and easy drinking wine with enough interest to …

Light, simple, easy to drink. A nice picnic/daytime wine. Strawberry fruit with some smoke and earth. Good acidic cut. A little darker on the finish. Nice.

Great wine. It has that "wild" Langeudoc character that I love (along with spicy red fruit), but it does not have the high alcohol and heaviness that's so typical for this region. Glou-glou for sure - makes me want to seek out his other wines.

50+ year old Carignan and Cinsault. Fresh and fruity, however the fruit is complex and has wonderful depth due to the age of the vines. Floral and a touch of minerality. Aged in Cuve and Foudre. Delicious.

Very pretty high toned candied fruit character, orange zest, herbs, very lively on the nose. A treat! Wonder how much it costs?
