The 50% Grenache, 40% Syrah and 10% Mourvedre blend, the 2008 Fayard (which includes de-classified Nadal in 2008, as that wine was not made) is a firmer wine with good minerality, hints of sweet and sour cherries, raspberries, and blacker fruits, with some spicy wood in the background. The wine has good weight, elegance, and freshness, and is best drunk over the next 2-3 years. One of the consistently superb estates in the Cotes du Ventoux, Domaine de Fondreche offers very high quality and reasonable prices. The creation of Sebastian Vincenti and Manou Barthelemy, these wines are bursting with fruit and have loads of minerality and aromatics. They are beautiful efforts representing the best of what a young generation of French producers can do. The estate is just under 100 acres in size and is now 100% biodynamically farmed. As Sebastian Vincenti told me, 2008 was a very strong vintage for the whites but presented many challenges with the reds.Importer: Robert Kacher Selections, Washington, DC; tel. (202) 832-9083
