The 2007 Cotes du Rhone-Villages Laudun-Philippe Faure-Brac may ring a bell with some readers as Faure-Brac is a well-known French writer and sommelier. Copious licorice, black cherry, and black currant notes intermixed with a subtle whiff of Provencal herbs are followed by a medium to full-bodied, juicy, succulent, seductive, irresistible wine to enjoy over the next 2-3 years.
This biodynamically-farmed vineyard, which has Philippe Cambie as its consultant, is a sleeper selection for value and high quality.
