Another outstanding value as well as an outstanding wine, is the 2010 Red, which is a blend of Syrah, Grenache, Mourvedre, Carignan and Cinsault. A melange of red and blue fruits, along with loamy soil notes, tobacco leaf and Provencal herbs all jump from the glass of this front end-loaded, perfumed wine. It is medium to full-bodied and exhibits plenty of deep, dark fruit and a good, spicy finish. Drink it over the next 2-3 years. Importer: Robert Kacher Selections, Washington, DC; tel.

The 2010 White, which comes from Vermentino, Grenache Blanc, Bourboulenc and Roussanne aged in tank, is crisp and fresh, with notes of citrus and hints of orange peel and lemon zest. It is light to medium-bodied, elegant, fresh, quite naked and pure. Drink it over the next year. Importer: Robert Kacher Selections, Washington, DC; tel. (202) 832-9083

The 2009 Costieres de Nimes blanc is a blend of 50% Grenache Blanc, 40% Vermentino (called Rolle in this area) and the rest miscellaneous grapes. Fresh, lively and light-bodied, it offers hints of poached pears and Thai lemon grass. Drink it over the next year.

The estate also makes a very intriguing white wine from Roussanne, Vermentino (called Rolle in southern France), and Grenache Blanc. The 2008 displays loads of crisp pear, grapefruit, and lemon zest notes in a light to medium-bodied, fresh, zesty style. Drink it over the next year.
