Wine Route - Winter Catalogue

Last week Wine Route published their second Winter Catalogue.
Last year their catalogue was sensational , featuring many excellent new wineries from Chateauneuf du Pape , Burgundy and Piedmont such as Roger Sabon , Pierre Usseglio, Vieille Julliene, Marcoux, Clos du Caillou , Girardin, Joseph Roty, Serafin , Paolo Scavino, Bruno Giacosa , La Spinetta and more.
This year there aren't so many new names (few from Burgundy, Sandrone from Piedmont, Mordoree from Cdp) , and for me the highlights are mostly the Chateauneufs from the superb 2005 vintage. After the dramatic raise in the prices of Bordeaux wines at the last few years , and the outrageous prices of Burgundy wines, the Rhone valley (especially CdP) remained one of the very few wine areas when you can still find magnificent wines at reasonable prices. In the catalogue you can find wines that score around 95 from most serious wine critics (I know scores aren't everything, but they are some kind of an indicator) for less than 300NIS , for instance , the Vieux Telegraphe Le Crau (a consistent and reliable performer), Roger Sabon -Cuvee Prestige, Vieille Julliene regular CdP and Marcoux regular Cdp .
I was expecting for 2004 Barolos that didn't arrive yet but in my opinion the Barolo Percristina from 2001 is a steal for 359NIS. The bric del fiasc from Scavino and the Ciabot mentin Ginestra from Clerico are also very interesting.
Burgundy wines aren't usually my cup of tea , but even I , couldn't ignore the Dujac Clos de la Roche 2005. A grand cru that earned high scores at a relatively reasonable prices. There are also some very interesting Mersault wines from various producers.
From Bordeaux , I haven't noticed something new, but in a few month the 2005 will arrive and my bank acount is going to suffer a lot.
