Discovering the Wine Properties of AXA Millesimes
very much liked the 2002, and found a curious note of a caraway seed along with saffron and East Indian spices. 2000 (white peach) and 2002. Grapes planted include Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre, and Carignan. “A French insurance company owns a Chateau? the woman’s voice says, incredulous. Sunday: Dinner in a Chateau.

Jenny & Francois Portfolio Tasting
Is that because the natural versions exhibit the true flavors and aromas of carignan, for example? 2002 Mazel Cuv é e Planet VdP de L'Ardeche (Rhône) - light, floral, perfume in the mouth, well balanced and absolutely delicious. 2005 Clos Siguier Cahors - I never would have guessed. Maybe it's just odd wine making.
