Sure that term market, it is preferred that Ampuis that of Clichy-la-Garenne Or leek or tote bag, nor Madame Michu who recounts his life fishmonger. Here is 100% Syrah & Viognier. Just if some Marsanne and Roussanne show the tip of their nose ...
Ampuis Market is an event such as exists in many wine villages: on the occasion of St. Vincent, all the tenants of the appellation Côte-Rotie meet present production.
Two elements make this show friendly: it is open to the public, and all producers have to sell wine.
Everyone is there, behind his little booth: The media stars (Guigal) as the "stars of amateurs" (Jamet, Gangloff, Stéphan), the "reference ranges" (Gerin, Villars, Cuilleron) and " majors "(Jaboulet, Chapoutier). Nobody is missing.
Many producers showed their wines from 2008 vintage.
should know that this vintage is considered "difficult" if you remain polite ... Others would say "bad" ...
Some explanation: during the summer of 2008, the month of August was particularly cold, remember Review of Jean-Pierre Pernaut "there's more seasonal, etc. ...". But "August makes the must" as the saying goes. At this crucial period that much of the wine quality is decided. In technical terms: acids are degraded, and polyphenols, tannins and color, ripen. This has already
enough to make a vintage fair. But when it does not, it does not: the rain has interfered in the party during the harvest, causing decay and dilution ... In short, bad luck.

something evil is good! The best growers chose not to make a single batch in order to keep a nice bottle "basic". The grapes were found in the usual "Landonne" Gerin, or the "Black Happiness" by Gangloff found themselves returnees in Côte-Rôtie generic, offering qualities quite impressive for the vintage.
So we did some nice shopping. Remember that 2008 is the year of birth of our daughter, I think we'll have some nice things to drink for his ten years!
To digest, nothing like a winter walk in the hills of the impressive terraces, or lined with "props", the famous wooden sticks used to support the vine. In winter, without leaves, it is well aware of the Mikado giant form thousands of tutors.
