"Just put into bottle when I tasted it, l'Edre's eponymous 2007 Cotes du Roussillon Villages L'Edre is 65% Syrah, 25% Grenache and 10% Carignan, and both fermented and aged in once-used barriques. (The team delighted in showing me how pigeage here really is by foot immersion.) Liqueur-like black fruits with nut oils, smoky black tea, roasted meat, brown spices, toasted nuts, and resinous herbs in the nose usher in an enormously richly fruited, broad, bitter-sweet palate of creme de cassis, black raspberry preserves, chocolate, and caramel, with carnal, herbal, and mineral (licorice, road tar) dimensions of correspondingly serious and palate-paving proportions. Rather than the sense of energy and grip with which the Carrement bottlings finish, this lingers with soothing, creamy richness. The tannins and alcohol are completely hidden. I can imagine following this for at least a half dozen years, although a track record for precisely this cuvee as currently rendered does not yet exist.
Jacques Castany and Pascal Dieunidou moved into a cellar just down the street from Domaine du Clos des Fees in 2002, and have accumulated their estate through small inherited parcels, but they still have full-time jobs outside. Inspired by wines of the Northern Rhone, they have chosen to emphasize Syrah to an extent one seldom encounters in Roussillon - although, I hasten to add that I can find no similarity between the wines here and those of the Northern Rhone."
