Reviews of 2004 Clos del Rey Cotes du Roussillon Proprietary Blend
John Perry, JJ Buckley
May 2009
Deep inky purple nearly to rim. What a terrific nose! Perfumed aromas of sweet blackberry and raspberry meld beautifully with savory elements of meat marinade, earth and garrigue. A full-bodied effort, this really fills out on the palate with dense fruit flavors, which pick up added complexity from a mineral vein and a kick of spice towards the finish. Juicy and ripe, but not over the top, everything is definitely in the right place. Great structure and still surprisingly youthful, this is quite enjoyable now but should continue to show well for another decade.
94 points, Wine Advocate
June 2009
The 2004 Cotes du Roussillon Clos del Rey is 80% Carignan (the rest, again, Grenache) and even more darkly-hued in flavor than its 2006 counterpart. Roasted meats, toasted nuts, and concentrated yet fresh blackberry are mingled with iodine and crushed stone and there are savory, saline, meaty, and peaty dimensions to the finish – which practically comes barreling at you – that take one far from considerations of fruits and berries. Even more than with the 2006, one has to emphasize that not only is there nothing superficial, there is in fact a certain handsome austerity to this wine, an uncompromising tribute to an underdog among grapes and to the amazing terroirs of Maury. I hope to have a chance to revisit it 8-10 years from now. —David Schildknecht
About 2004 Clos del Rey Cotes du Roussillon Proprietary Blend
About the Wine
Jacques Montagne’s grandparents were already making dry table wine from
the family’s choice properties in Maury. In Montagne’s words, “to grow
wine is to do permanent research,” and the results of his diligence in
that regard is memorably reflected in his best wines. He continues to
deliver a large part of his crop to the quite quality-conscious Maury
cooperative, but since the turn of the latest century this one-time
partner of Jean-Luc Thunevin has been vinifying a small portion under
his own label. That said, he offers his own second wine from Grenache,
Carignan, and young vines of Syrah.
