Why you should snap up any 2016 Côte-Rôtie you see (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you’re at a restaurant and you don’t have time to read the wine list from cover to cover, here’s an easy tip to remember. If they have any 2016 Côte Rôtie, grab one. It should be a safe bet. Is it the greatest vintage in the last 20 years? No, that’ll be 2015, or perhaps 2010. There are individual wines from these two that fly even higher. But after tasting nearly 30 examples, what 2016 offers is this: quality, classicism and consistency. After a mild winter, the season got off to a fairly la
Cin City: Reassessing Cinsault, the unsung hero finally having its moment (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Five years ago in an article for Decanter I made a claim that Cinsault was the most underrated red grape variety in the world. I’ve held this belief for some time, and I stand by it still. In 2021, I organised a blind tasting of Cinsaults from all over the world and it revealed countless brilliant examples of this wonderful grape. So, five years later, it was time to repeat the exercise to see how Cinsault has progressed. I was joined by two top tasters – Natalie Earl, Decanter’s regional editor
My seven favourite producers in Cairanne (opens the original)
Read excerpt
How do you measure the greatness of any given wine appellation? One way might be to count the number of outstanding producers. If using this method in the Southern Rhône, Cairanne would come out looking particularly strong. Cairanne was promoted to Cru status in 2016, and there was never any doubt that it deserved this commendation. Ten years on, its wines are even better. The Cairanne style is all about balance, elegance and consistency. Its reds have the characteristic generosity of the east b
Discover the wine of the Syrah and Shiraz grape varieties | Decanter (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Syrah is a quintessentially Mediterranean-climate variety, a big cropper resistant to pests and diseases, producing dark, inky, aromatic reds with black fruit flavours and peppery, spicy characteristics. It is the great red grape of the northern Rhône where it reaches its apogee in the deep-hued, muscular, long-lived wines of Hermitage and Côte Rôtie. It is a component of southern Rhône reds and the fastest growing grape in Franc’s Languedoc region, where it has been introduced as an improving v
Domaine Juliette Avril: A lighter side to Châteauneuf (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Occasionally people ask me if I can recommend a light Châteauneuf-du-Pape. It’s a bit like asking a zookeeper if he has any slim hippos or short-necked giraffes. What I usually do in this situation is direct them towards wines from naturally slimmer and more athletic nearby appellations. After all, the very best Châteauneufs tend to be those that embrace its natural plus-size magnificence. But thanks to the appellation’s liberal rulebook and the diversity of its soils, Châteauneuf can be a broad
