"The 2007 Cotes du Roussillon Villages Carrement - half Syrah, with the rest Grenache and Carignan, given a long cold soak and raised entirely in tank - offers crushed stone, alkalinity, and smoke already in the nose, along with black raspberry, cherry and rhubarb, setting the themes for a palate that is sweetly ripe yet invigoratingly tart and saturated with manifestations of minerals. Pungent suggestions of scrub and herbs, then licorice and chocolate add further interest. This really blossoms with air, and impressive as it is now, I strongly suspect it needs a little time in bottle to completely break free of reductive coils. In what has become the hallmark for L'Edre's impressive wines, this marries impressive sheer density and formidable grip with exuberant fresh fruit and vivacity making for a wine of compelling energy and generosity, irresistible in its youth, even though one could surely continue to enjoy it for at least 3-4 years.
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. Drink 2009-2013."
