Yes, P-Rose, L’Aigueliere, d’Aupilhac … and I’ll add Mas Bruguiėre …
(Mas Jullien has already been mentioned)
Chateau Negly is always a bank, not only Porte du Ciel and C.d.Truffiers, also La Falaise …
Ch. Mansenoble/Corbieres + Domaine Clavel “Copa Santa”
I have a Peyre Rose and a Maxime Magnon Campagnès in my wine fridge – may need to taste these soon!
Peyre Rose wines age very slowly and do best with lots of cellar time. Which wine and vintage do you have?
The Magnon Campagnès - super old-vine Carignan - ought to be good to go whenever.
Good to know, thanks! For the Peyre Rose, I have a 2006 Syrah (going from memory, not sure if it’s a blend of mostly Syrah, or 100%)
Rene Rostaing has an estate in the Languedoc - Puech Noble - which has some very good, serious syrah driven wines. However they are hard to find stateside, and the name often gets confused with other estates which make wines of a wildly different style. They are also priced higher than AOC norms - justifiably - but that can be tough sell to those who don’t know the background.
Syrah Leone (Belle Leone) is usually 90+% Syrah and a bit Mourvedre.
1998 is perfect now, 2003 is still young - never had 2006.
I know Puech Noble (former Puech Chaud) - very good and elegant but rather for drinking over 5 to 8 years, 100% Syrah
Nicolas Senlanne definitely top of his field, elegant wines, very impressive.
PSA
As of a few years ago, Crabtree’s Kittle House in Chappaqua NY still had some older Peyre Rose on the list. I don’t remember the wine or vintage, but it was outstanding for not much over $100. I’m guessing it isn’t flying off the list, could still be there and a great introduction to a great wine at a very fair price.
