2007 Rhones drying out…?
Not this one!
Wonderfully balanced and complete, this oozes luxurious notes of cassis and blackberries, classy leather, brown spices, smoked ham, pinches of black pepper and sandalwood. Juicy, fresh, classic hedonism.

Deep brooding intense dark berries needs more time — 4 months ago
Bright ruby red with pink rim . Quite open and juicy, fresh and enticing , red cherry , raspberry , strawberry , with just a touch of fresh cut herbs . On the palate quite ripe red fruits noted on the nose with just a hint of smokiness. Finishes clean and fresh and with good acidity , ripe fine tannin, good balance and ok length . Quaffable, moreish and nicely judged Côtes du Rhône to drink now and over the next 7-10 years . — 4 months ago
Popped and poured; no formal notes. The 2020 “Grange le Duc” has some real Volnay sensibilities with lovely, elegant fruit and forest floor with a taut structure. This responded very well to air and I expect this will flesh out with some cellar time. Drinking well now with some patience and will continue to do so through 2030. — 5 months ago
“Creamy” and full bodied. Balance of earth and fruit. Enjoyed with grilled steak, seared mushrooms, & roasted Brussels sprouts. Would easily and happily enjoy again. — 2 years ago

Light lemon-hued. Aromas and flavors of apple, citrus, melon, peach, pear, and saline, with hints of cream and vanilla and a finish of minerals. Light-bodied with high acidity. Balanced. — a month ago
