    The 1936 Rivesaltes has the appearance of mature Verdelho Madeira. It has a very oxidative bouquet with touches of adhesive, eau-de-vie, sea foam and smoke. It opens nicely with aeration, gaining intensity with every moment. The palate is medium-bodied with almost a candied, pastille-like element on the entry: quince, dried honey and rose water. It is very harmonious and composed with a twist of bitter orange and Clementine on the spicy finish. Excellent. Tasted December 2012.

    190, The Wine Advocate

    I’m infringing on David Schildknecht’s territory, but he has not yet tasted this wine. From a bio-dynamically farmed estate, this 2009 is a blend of 55% Grenache (from 60- to 75-year-old vines) and 45% Syrah (from 40-year-old vines), all planted in limestone soils, and aged completely in concrete tanks. This remarkable offering is a naked expression of the vivid terroir and excellent fruit found in this region. The incredible aromatics consist of forest floor, spring flowers, sweet black currants, raspberries, licorice, and incense. With a pure, velvety, seamless, full-bodied texture and a finish that lasts 30+ seconds, this wine possesses a stunning integration of acidity, tannin, and alcohol, suggesting this 2009 will age nicely for 3-5 years, possibly as long as a decade. However, it will be hard to resist given its current performance. Bravo! I have followed Chateau Puech Haut for a number of years, and met proprietor Gerald Bru over a decade ago. Bru has employed some extraordinarily talented winemakers, beginning with Michel Rolland, followed by Claude Gros (of Chateau Negly). His current consultant is Philippe Cambie.
