Coudoulet Rouge de

Chateau Beaucastel
Cotes du Rhone Rouge
RP -
The real steal, however, is
the 2010 Cotes du Rhone Coudoulet red, which has really put on some weight
and intensity since I tasted it last year. The wine displays oodles of
licorice, black currant and black cherry liqueur with hints of damp forest
floor and truffle. Sweet tannin, decent acidity and nice, attractive
density make for an outstanding Cotes du Rhone to drink over the next 7-8
years. |

Cotes du Rhone Rouge
RP -
In total contrast, the 2009
Cotes du Rhone Coudoulet red represents the essence of Provence in its
notes of ground pepper, new saddle leather, lavender, kirsch, garrigue,
and abundant red and black fruits. This complex, evolved, luscious red
begs for a bloody grilled steak. With a creamy, medium to full-bodied
texture, this gorgeous, complex, evolved wine should be enjoyed
over the next 7-8 years. |

Cotes du Rhone Rouge
RP -
The blockbuster 2007
Cotes du Rhone Coudoulet, always one of the best bargains from the
south, may be the finest Coudoulet ever produced. A blend of 30%
Mourvedre, 30% Grenache, and the rest Syrah, Cinsault, and a few other
authorized varietals, is incredibly opulent and rich, with
sensational notes of black currants, liquorice, smoked herbs, and meat
juices, a full-bodied mouthfeel, savoury tannins, and good acidity
as well as length. This outstanding wine can be drunk now or cellared
for 10-15 years. |

Vacqueyras
Domaine de la Charbonniere
RP - The 2010 Vacqueyras
offers lots of cedary, loamy soil notes interwoven with black cherry jam
and black currants. Medium to full-bodied with supple tannins and
admirable purity as well as intensity, it should drink well for a
decade. |

The 2009 Vacqueyras, a blend

a beautiful bouquet of black raspberries, blueberry pie, camphor and white
flowers. Rich, pure, medium to full-bodied and velvety textured. |

DOMAINE de MOURCHON
RP -
In just over a decade, this family-owned estate has
become not only a top producer in the southern Rhone, but also a reference
point for what’s possible in the picturesque and touristy hilltop village
of Seguret. |

Cotes du Rhone-Village 'Seguret Grande Reserve'
Domaine de Mourchon
RP -
The 2010 Cotes du Rhone-Villages Seguret Grande Reserve is sensational.
A two-grape blend of two-thirds Grenache and the rest Syrah, with the
Grenache aged in tank and the Syrah in small barrels, it has terrific
freshness, delineation and purity. It is full-bodied, black/purple in
color, with stunning richness and intensity. |
