Showing slightly more character and depth, the 2012 Cotes du Rhone Massif d’Uchaux Jocundaz (80/20 Grenache and Syrah, also aged all in concrete) offers pretty berry fruit, crushed flowers and spice in a medium-bodied, supple and fresh package. Possessing good fruit and sweet tannin, it should drink nicely for 4-5 years. Drink now-2018.
This small estate is run by Jean-Pierre Serguier, and covers 10 acres in Chateauneuf du Pape, mostly in the northwestern section of the appellation. He produces two red cuvees in top vintages, his classic blend (reviewed here) and a Grenache-dominated Grandes Grenachieres d’Hyppolyte. All three of the Cotes du Rhones reviewed here were well made and show good all-around character. In addition, his whites are superb.
