"Ridiculous Value"

Arriving the 1st Week of August is the 2008 Chimeres from Jean-Marc Lafarge!
The first Vintage(2006—92WA) was a hit with almost 100 cases sold at Zachys.
The second Vintage (2007—92WA) was a tremendous hit with over 200 cases sold at Zachys.
The third Vintage (2008—NYR) based on our tasting earlier this year…OFF the CHARTS GOOD!

Chateau Saint-Roch from Jean-Marc Lafarge is the perfect example of a winery that OVER DELIVERS for the PRICE to QUALITY RATIO! Straight out of the gate, Saint-Roch wines have represented terrific values for exceptionally crafted wines. The 2008 is no different and we would expect that the Wine Advocate team will be reviewing this wine in the upcoming August VALUE issue. Either way, due to this wines extreme popularity and success, we do believe that the 2008 will be over 50% sold before the Wine Advocate review is published. Now is the time to lock in your bottles (cases) of Saint-Roch before they disappear.

Plus for the first time, we have the Saint-Roch white. Simply put…WOW! This puts most Chateauneuf du Pape Whites and Bandol Blancs to shame.

Here is a reminder as to what the Wine Advocate had to say regarding the 2007 Chimeres:
“I reported on the 2007 Cotes du Roussillon Chimeres from his small Maury estate Chateau Saint Roch in issue 83, but now that the wine has been bottled, I want to re-emphasize its amazing quality (not even to mention for the price!) A blend of Grenache with a bit of Carignan from Maury’s schist and chalk with Syrah from high-altitude granite slopes in Saint Paul de Fenouillet, it was fermented and raised in 500-liter barrels and bottled at the very end of last year. Fresh and jam-like layers of black raspberry, rhubarb, and fresh cherry in the nose and mouth are tinged with resinous sage, rosemary, and lavender, while striking top notes of gentian and violet waft from the glass. For all of its saturating sweet ripeness and fresh berry brightness on a silken-textured palate, this also harbors low-toned roast meatiness, while piquant notes of toasted pistachio and almond, black pepper, cherry pit, and herbs keep its long finish far from any danger of succumbing to superficial sweetness. It will be worth following for at least 3-4 years, if not longer.

It almost seems as though Jean-Marc Lafarge is out to spoil things for every other southern French vintner by treating the consumer to wines of ridiculous value.”
