2009 Puech-Haut St. Drezery Quercus

One of the current "hot" wines from the Languedoc ... the Quercus bottling is 100% Grenache crafted by owner Gerard Bru and cellarmaster Mathieu Ciampi. The genius of Philippe Cambie is evident as the consulting winemaker.

 This is a monster wine that is good now but will be gorgeous in a few years.  Opened and consumed the first quarter of the bottle, then the remainder at varying intervals over the course of two weeks.   The last of it was really delicious and showed the potential of the wine, especially evoking comparison to more modern CdP's.  Big raspberry fruit, garrigue with anise accents.  The aromatics reflect the hedonistic style evident in the palate.  Hang onto this for a few more years...

 My favorite Languedoc wine still remains the beautiful Las Flors de la Piera...
