WTN: Two Ch.d'Angles Languedoc Wines...(short/boring)

by TomHill » Tue Aug 01, 2023 11:35 am

I tried these two on Mark's rec at Kokomans:
1. Ch.d'Angles Classique Blanc Ad'OP: LaClape White Languedoc Wine (13.5%; 40% Bourboulenc/40% GrenacheBlanc/20% Roussanne; MeBaC; Demeter Certified; http://www.ChateauDAngles.com; BotiqueWineCollection/Philadelphia) Famille E.Fabre/St.PierreLaMer/Languedoc 2022: Med.light yellow color; quite pretty floral/GB/honeysuckle/carnations rather stony/chalky bit flinty/mineral fairly perfumed talc bit saline very attractive nose; lightly tart/tangy bit lean some GB/floral/honeysuckle/carnations light stony/chalky/mineral slight saline rather pretty if a bit dilute flavor; short lightly tart/salinefinish that reflects the flavor; a rather pretty nose but doesn't deliver much on the palate bordering on vapid. $21.00 (KK)

2. Ch.d'Angles Methode Naturelle Classique Rouge Ad'OP: LaClape (13.5%; 40% Syrah/40% Grenache/20% Mourvedre; MeBaC; DemeterCertified) 2022: Very dark color; strong Syrah/blackberry/ripe/boysenberry bit earthy some dusty/OV bit toasty/oak some complex bit rustic nose; lightly tart/tangy rathe rough/rustic/Languedoc/coarse some Syrah/blackberry some earthy/dusty/OV flavor w/ ample rough/coarse tannins; med.long rather rough/coarse/rustic some blackberry/Syrah/plummy finish w/ ample rough tannins; interesting nose but rather rough/coarse Languedoc red on the palate; not particularly pleasant in the mouth. $25.00 (KK)
_____________________________________
More fittlebrik from TheBloodyPulpit:
1. Both of these were attractive in the nose but didn't deliver very well on the palate. Reasonable price is about the best you can say for these two.
Both of these are natural wines, but showed no natty/funky character whatsoever.
