This was the red wine we chose from the wine list in Fontjoncouse to follow the Leroy 2000 Bourgogne Blanc which, if anything, was even less evolved than this rich red, the most famous  wine of its appellation. The 2001 vintage was of course very successful in the southern Rhône and this was luscious and spicy but the tannins were completely resolved and the fruity impact was in retreat. Nothing heavy or grating. At €187, it was certainly not given away but the wine is quite a rarity and was a great treat.
