Skalli - News http://www.skalli.com/?langue=en en Copyright 2008 <![CDATA[La Journée Vinicole – 13 april 2010]]> (…) The history of the Skalli family is closely con¬nected with that of varietal wines. Robert Skalli pioneered the category in France thirty years ago. Over time, we have gradually evolved from a varietal-based strategy to one that revolves around a whole family of wines from the South. In 2000, we bought Maison Bouachon-Caves Saint Pierre in the Rhone Valley. Historically, we own vineyards in Corsica, with Terra Vecchia, and in Provence we work closely with Gilardi (…).

Actually, there are a pair of Wines of the Week this week: both from Caves Saint-Pierre, one a straightforward, juicy and fruity Côtes-du-Rhône from 2008 that's in Tesco, Somerfield and Sainsbury's for around £6.00, and this superior Gigondas from the great Rhône vintage of 2007, that's over twice the price. Both would be good partners for new season lamb, but the Gigondas offers a much deeper, more intense wine experience with its meaty and peppery edges to beautifully focused red fruits making it the more satisfying wine of the two, budget permitting. £12.99, Tesco.

The Syrah is very happy here, which is quite unusual on this island, and its marriage with the Nielluccio gives reds of great aromatic finesse and high class tannins that make this Clos Poggiale 2006 a little marvel.”(…) “This wine is now one of the red jewels of the Skalli family, who have worked hard to raise the profile of Mediterranean wines over the past thirty years.”

Terra Vecchia white 2007: wine of the week
13th Septembre 2009! 

Terra Vecchia Réserve, Chardonnay Vermentino 2007

http://www.wine-pages.com/temp/vecchia-vermentino.htm

A French wine, but one that is perhaps a little unusual in that it comes from the French island of Corsica, which sits off of the west coast of Italy in the Mediterranean Sea. 
Blend is Chardonnay with the local variety Vermentino (also found in Italy and mainland France, where it is known as Rolle). It has a clear, clean, pear and lemon fruit on the nose, but a suggestion of ripeness and weight too. In the mouth it does have quite a full texture, and the apple and pear flavours are given a bit of herbal and floral complexity from the Vermentino.

A beautiful colour, a magnificent nose, a soft and silky attack in the mouth which picks out notes of blackcurrant jelly and a long, lingering finish – this is a Rolls Royce of a red! A way of giving pause for thought to critics of the Languedoc wine trade. Drink over the next 3 years, with a nice rib of beef.
17/20
