A sleeper of the vintage, the deep ruby/purple-colored 2011 Cotes du Rhone Jocundaz Massif d-Uchaux offers lots of pepper, garrigue, black raspberries and black cherries in a medium-bodied, nicely concentrated, silky style. Consume it over the next 2-3 years. This tiny 10-acre estate run by Jean-Pierre Serguier produces 1,500 cases of Chateauneuf du Pape and around 350 cases of their super, old vine cuvee, Les Grandes Grenachieres d-Hippolyte, which is made from 85-year-old vines. These traditionally-made cuvees are aged in foudre or old barrels. Serguier has been managing this estate since 1981, although it dates from 1920. One of the few domaines that is outside of the Chateauneuf du Pape appellation, Simian is located in the garlic capital of France, the tiny village of Piolenc, a 10-minute drive from the village of Chateauneuf du Pape.
