Nicholas Maillart Rose or Benoit Marguet Shaman Rose might be the best in the price range. Also good are Laherte-Freres Rose de Meunier, Vilmart Cuvee Rubis, and Ployez-Jacquemart Rose. And if we're talking price and sourcing trouble and vintage/non-vintage out the window, I'll take Prevost Fac-Simile against the field.

Would add Rodez

Ah yeah, how could I forget the mayor

Opened this to breathe at 1pm to have with a six hour slow cooked lamb. Like velvet caressing the tounge.

I like Maillart but don't think I've tried their rosé. Vilmart is great and the rest is new to me. Nice heads up.

1994, great stuff

Hi lads, first time posting in this thread. Would second Vilmart cuvee rubis, was always a favourite.

Drinking something from your side of the atlantic tonight — delicious and just fully opening up in the last glass, sadly.

Might be a bit of an out there question - I frankly buy too much wine for someone who knows nothing about it, but maybe someone has a rec.

My daughter was born end of 2020. I'd like to buy a case or 2 of a birth year wine to cellar for her for later.

Anyone have a rec of something 2020 that A) will be decent put down for 18-20 years+ and B) is somewhat gettable.

Thanks!

Quality and ageable Rijoas tick both your boxes. Added bonus of being attainable for under $100 a bottle.

Finally getting together with my friends for our annual wine trip. Tasting at Ridge this morning and now these are in decanters.

I love La Turque, one of my favourite wine period

Had this over yesterday and today

 

[Omega Male]

Legitimately amazing and just thankful I didn't have to pay for it.

 

[ocooney]

Tonight’s line up, and will probably have a few whites to start

Casually sneaking the Screagle in there!

Yeah. Really lucky to have a friend on the list who is willing to share.

One of the best NV rosé champagne out there together with Billecart-Salmon AMD Ruinart in my opinion. Do you guys come to think of other stuff I forgot about? View attachment 1718000

I’m partial to Paul Bara

Need new friends... My kind of sucks

Hard act to follow but what can you do?
