Given the pricing of Corcia’s wines, these all represent very good value. The Chateauneuf du Papes are all aged in older Burgundy barrels, and the production in 2010 is especially small because of the poor flowering of the Grenache that year which resulted in a loss of 30-40% of the crop in Chateauneuf du Pape. The other Chateauneuf du Pape cuvees (named after Alain Corcia’s wife, children and father) are slightly different blends, but all are essentially the same. They are all medium to full-bodied with the 2010s very primary and slightly more restrained with higher acids as well as darker fruits...
