A wine I've been lucky enough to drink twice in 2020, this is a rare and impressive beast with huge surging power, still bristling with life. Great concentration, with a sweetly ripe core to the thick black fruits, and immense length. The 2007 vintage isn't always what it's cracked up to be in the southern Rhône; a great vintage for some, but many wines are overly alcoholic and bulbous. At his property it was a great success, and one with a long life ahead of it (the drink-to date here is conservative). Today it's bottled under IGP Vaucluse, but this was still Cotes-du-Rhone Villages Rasteau in 2007.
