At five years of age, this wine is reaching maturity, revealing a wonderfully creamy, round, mouthfilling texture tinged with masses of dark fruit, coffee and chocolate. Long on the finish, picking up hints of peppery spice.

A tiny production of 3,000 bottles makes this a particularly rare wine, but one worth seeking out for its rich, sweet, strawberry flavors and its finely perfumed aromas.

This is very superior Côtes-du-Rhône, since the vines are actually in Côtes-du-Rhône-Villages. But winemaker Jean-Pierre Meffre prefers to keep the name simple and the wine uncomplicated. Sweet, ripe fruit, solid tannins and red fruit flavors make this very attractive.

A beautifully perfumed wine showing aromas of herbs and wild thyme. Rich, soft, with layers of ripe flavors, black fruits and solid tannins. Open and soft, and ready to drink in three to five years.

Jean Pierre and Martine Meffre are vignerons in Gigondas who trace their domaine’s roots back to 1709, but make this great bargain from 50-year-old vines just outside the Gigondas appellation. The 2004 Saint- Gayan boasts scents of anise, black cherry and flowers on the nose, then follows that up with a lushly textured palate. Flavors of black cherries and spice add some meatier notes, then finish long and softly tannic. Drink now–2012.

This medium-bodied, supple wine starts with scents of red fruit—cherries and plums—and darker hints of chocolate. Flavors follow a similar theme, adding hints of dried spices and ending on a crisp note.
