In 2005 the Cotes du Rhone Grands Classiques is a delicious, fruity, up-front style of Cotes du Rhone that is meant for bistros and brasseries. It provides immediate gratification, with loads of spice, pepper, and black cherry and strawberry fruit. Drink it over the next several years. An excellent estate in Cairanne with wines from that village that are nearly as interesting and complex as their Chateauneuf du Papes, there are usually at least three cuvees of Cairanne – Galifay, Partides, and Grands Classiques – all noteworthy.Importer: Total Wine & More, Potomac, MD 20854, Phone: (301) 795 1080
