The 2008 Persia (red), which is nearly 100% Syrah, is their attempt in the Cotes du Ventoux to produce something along the lines of a top-notch Cote-Rotie. This wine always exhibits plenty of aromatics, in this case white flowers, raspberry and black currant fruit, medium to full-body, very good acidity and minerality. It is not as strong as the 2007, but then again, neither is the vintage. One of the consistently superb estates in the Cotes du Ventoux, Domaine de Fondreche offers very high quality and reasonable prices. The creation of Sebastian Vincenti and Manou Barthelemy, these wines are bursting with fruit and have loads of minerality and aromatics. They are beautiful efforts representing the best of what a young generation of French producers can do. The estate is just under 100 acres in size and is now 100% biodynamically farmed. As Sebastian Vincenti told me, 2008 was a very strong vintage for the whites but presented many challenges with the reds.Importer: Robert Kacher Selections, Washington, DC; tel. (202) 832-9083
