More rustic, but also impressively rich, the 2011 Cotes du Rhone-Villages Rasteau Vieilles Vignes needs time in the bottle. It contains 80% Grenache. (Not yet released) As I wrote last year, Patrick Lesec seems to be narrowing his portfolio of southern Rhone wines, focusing primarily on Cotes du Rhones, Chateauneuf du Papes and Gigondas, three areas where he excels in fashioning very good to outstanding cuvees that he sells at realistic prices.
