"The outstanding 2003 Cotes du Rhone-Villages Les Champauvins is different than the 2004. Gorgeously plump, fat, even corpulent, with full body and seductive notes of blackberries, pepper, and cherry liqueur intermixed with some licorice, smoke and earth, it is a sumptuous mouthful of a wine that sells for a song."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Spans the Syrah-driven northern crus of Cote-Rotie and Hermitage and the Grenache-based blends of the warmer south, led by Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Its wines are known for power, spice and warmth.
