The only one in the line-up that is somewhat international in style is the 100% Syrah cuvee, the 2006 Cotes du Rhone Les Cros, which also sees time in small barriques. This wine is deep, has the inkiest color, a chewy, espresso roast, blackberry nose, but not the complexity and Provencal personality of the other wines from proprietor Daniel Boulle.Proprietor Daniel Boulle has a large estate in Travaillon (not far from Gigondas) of approximately 135 acres, all biodynamically farmed, with yields very low. My first exposure to him was his brilliant 1999s, followed by several good vintages, but then hard times followed with 2002 and especially 2003. He has bounced back very strongly with a brilliant line-up in 2006, no doubt thanks to the consulting advice of the brilliant Philippe Cambie.Importer: Peter Weygandt, Weygandt-Metzler, Unionville, PA; tel.
