The 2009 Cotes du Rhone-Villages Rasteau is nearly all Grenache from a parcel planted in 1921. Yields were an absurdly low 7 hectoliters per hectare. The wine offers dense chocolaty, strawberry, and black cherry aromas and flavors, huge body, and massive concentration, yet a freshness and elegance that belie the size and mass of this powerhouse Grenache. Deep, chewy, and dense, with its tannins largely concealed by a cascade of fruit and glycerin, it should drink well for a decade or more. Bravo!I have been following this estate for a decade and except for a few hiccups in 2002 and 2003, it has consistently turned out fine wines. Moreover, since Philippe Cambie was brought in as the consulting oenologist, it has become even more reliable.Importer: Peter Weygandt, Weygandt-Metzler, Coatesville, PA; tel.
