James Suckling has a great video interview with Stephane Derenoncourt regarding the 2010 vintage (behind a pay wall).

Stéphane will age his 2011 Côte-Rôtie for 15 months in barrel rather than the 18 months he aged his 2010. The barrel tasting is instructive as one can clearly define the differences between Blonde ( Lancement, Tupins, But de Mont) and Brune ( Leyat, Rozier and GrandesPlaces). The rule of thumb involves adding more stems into the Brune and using a higher ratio of new barrique for the Blonde. If this appears counter-intuitive, it certainly does not fail to work. This is …

…famous Usseglios in a small village just north of Avignon, both making sublime red and white wines, may seem a rather strange. They share of course, the same Italian scion, and now thanks to the great advances made here by Stéphane, son of Raimond, also share a similar reputation. Indeed if the scoring system of he who shall remain nameless is to be believed, this branch of the family now appears to be marginally in the ascendant.

The Vieilles Vignes comes from six different parcels and undergoes whole cluster, semi-carbonic fermentation, which results in a wine comparable to some of the best Cru Beaujolais. Floral and mineral, with tangy cherry and plum fruit, spice accents and a forest floor underpinning, this supple red is balanced and lovely. A great ambassador …

Congratulations to Rachael, Stephane and the crew at Boxwood on a well deserved rating.

They produce 28 wines, each a remarkable distillation of vineyard and grape and frank individuality, the kinds of wines that make a wine-writer think, "Oh, yes, this is why I love wine!" Stéphane Tissot converted the estate to all organic practices in 1999, followed by …
