Moving up in the Lancyre pecking order, their 2005 Coteaux du Languedoc Vieilles Vignes (from Syrah with 35% Grenache) smells of purple plum and black cherry, pungent, resinous herbs, grenadine, wood smoke and iodine. Dense, deep and sappy on the palate with both the ripeness of fruit and pungency of herbs intensified, this adds a low-toned wet stone and chalk mineral expression in its long finish. I would expect it to gain yet more interest over the next several years, and as such it represents an outstanding value.The team of Bernard Durand and Regis Valentin is talented with more than just the classic red blends of Pic Saint-Loup. This year, they began labeling their white to call attention to its distinctiveness and perhaps make it seem more familiar to Americans.Imported by Handpicked Selections, Warrenton, VA; tel.
