Wine Advocate: 96 Points
This cuvee was bottled unfined and unfiltered so expect some sediment to develop in the bottle. Domaine l'Aigueliere has produced two limited production luxury cuvees that are too expensive to qualify as best buys but both are dazzling Provencal red wines. Both are 100% Syrah wines aged in 100% new oak casks and bottled without fining or filtration. Both wines sell in the $30-$35 range. For readers wanting to pursue them the 1995 Cote Doree is a remarkably rich full-bodied Coteaux du Languedoc that I rated 95 points. I rated the 1995 Cote Rousse 96+. More detail will be provided in an upcoming issue. These are extremely limited in availability but they symbolize what can be achieved in the Coteaux du Languedoc. Both wines should drink well for 10-15 years. A Peter Vezan Selection various American importers including: North Berkeley Wine Berkeley CA; tel. (510) 848-8910 Ideal Wines Medford MA; tel.
