As flamboyant and likeable as the Romeros themselves, this Côtes du
Rhône (made from 60% Grenache and 40% Syrah) is ripe, rich and spicy. A
reliable and rewarding wine.

We love the wines from this village which is a little more sheltered than
Gigondas. They are generally generous of fruit with a rounded, almost velvety
texture. Truffles, raspberries and the faintest of autumnal whispers combine in
this rich and silky Cairanne.

Vinsobres is, according to Marc Perrin, the natural homestead of the Syrah
variety, its altitude and geographical make-up perhaps not dissimilar to the
Northern Rhône. Les Cornuds is accordingly beautifully perfumed, with
notes of jasmine and lavender highlighting a savoury mid-palate flourish and
ripe and expressive fruit overlaying silky tannins.

Dominated by beautifully sweet Grenache fruit, with spice and black pepper
coming from the smaller proportions of Syrah, Mourvèdre and Cinsault,
Ch. d'Aquéria's Lirac Rouge is a well-made and finely-tuned assemblage.

A serious wine from a serious vintage, L’Andéol is a five hectare
vineyard, located on the gentle south-facing slopes of Rasteau which are
protected from the worst excesses of the Mistral. This is a great expression of
Grenache, with peppers, figs, dark chocolate and spices in the ascendant, and a
finely-wrought tannic structure discrete in the background.

André Romero praises his 2007 Rasteau as his best ever wine. A firm,
mineral foundation and notes of pepper and spice complement the savoury (almost
sauvage) Mourvèdre, resulting in incredible concentration and length.

Sourced from the very best villages in the Southern Rhône, namely
Valréas, Vinsobres and Rasteau, this is a fantastic Côtes du
Rhône, self-evidently punching above its putative weight. This is more
than confirmed by the palate; sweet Grenache at the core but with plenty of
Syrah colour and grip lending support. Jean Louis spends a lot of time on this
cuvée , the benefit of which should soon become abundantly
clear.

A few miles down the road from Gigondas, Yves nurtures old vines in the
appellation of Vacqueyras. This wine boasts notes of earth, aniseed, liquorice
and plenty of attitude. It is a powerful, peppery wine, made for red meat and
game.
